This 👇👇👇 international friends, if you are silent about what happens right now in Armenia and Karabakh, you are complicit in it.

[Grigor Atanesian @atanessi]

I had a friend. He was very young and talented. I loved him very much. He was supposed to come visit. Today I learned he was killed in Karabakh.

@tferriss Never happens to Germans. Therefore no word for it.

Also - Alarm! Alarm! Alarm! wink :P

@Ron4California Hi Ron, can you use your voice to raise awareness of this issue? Or maybe even raising it with your congress representative? https://t.co/lB82TOm0xb

As the sole road connecting Nagorno-Karabakh to the outside world remains closed for the 26th day, Armenians celebrate Christmas under the Azerbaijani blockade.

NEW: Nagorno Karabakh's residents say they are running out of food because the Lachin corridor – their only access to Armenia - has been blockaded for almost a month.

One mother told me her toddler could miss her cancer treatment.

Ethnic Armenians living in Karabakh have been cut off from the outside world for 26 days. Azerbaijani protesters have been blocking the only road through which supplies come to Karabakh. Thanks @marutvanian for your contribution https://t.co/xYHE3k5JVj

About FOUR HUNDRED TONES of cargo entered Karabakh from Armenia DAILY.

Soon it will be a month not a single spoonful of sugar imported to NK.

A supermarket in Stepanakert, the capital of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabackh), as fake environmental-activists continue blocking the only road connecting with Armenia

@nervousrubyist @WHITEMAN_YOLO @paulg @lirarandall Check out "Profession" by Isaac Asimov. He knew what's comming and what would be the consequences. TLDR you pay dearly for not training/using your brain.

@dhh They tried it out a century ago in a Soviet Union. Did not end really well.

[Trung Phan @TrungTPhan]

The most organized celebrating in Tokyo after Japan beat Germany.

Fans rush Shibuya Crossing but responsibly return to sidewalks when cars have to drive.

@subbu85 @GergelyOrosz you call the sales rep :) and they set up a PoC for you :) but such sales cycle may involve 1-12 months of presales work ;) depends on the complexity and size of the solution :)

[Gaspar Chilingarov @gasparch]

@just_bearded @jamiedaniel I would add - learn perpendicular skills :) for devs - system administration, networking, ppl skills, UX design, anything which is not an existing_skill++. Learning one more programming language when you know already 5 - doesn't help much.

[Gaspar Chilingarov @gasparch]

@JeremyPepperWVU @open_sketchbook @scousermarti Also EU has rather impressive regulatory powers, that's why everyone now has better control over how their information is handled (GDPR) or new iPhones will finally have an USB port - because customizing products only for one huge market is inefficient :)

[Gaspar Chilingarov @gasparch]

@JeremyPepperWVU @open_sketchbook @scousermarti Netherlands is small producer???????? Their agricultural export is insanely high, like 30% of EU demand. And they export not only goods, but they also export knowledge to other countries (Universities in NL, consulting, etc). They are impressively efficient.

@zalberico @Palle_Hoffstein A lot of investors here would first concentrate on profitability and then only on the growth. You cannot "trend towards profitability" for years and burn through the investors money like there is no tomorrow. So, no, no Uber-style burning through the cash pile.

[Gaspar Chilingarov @gasparch]

@getinyourstance @kaffuwa @Palle_Hoffstein Well, it wasn't that binding... 1b cash and you are free to go, Elon :)

[Gaspar Chilingarov @gasparch]

@UBTaylor @Palle_Hoffstein His latest demands to work extra hard in German factory were shut down by IG Metall Union (2m members, 2.5% of German population:). Good luck being greedy capitalist :) Also - it doesn't work in long term. Some companies here being longer in business than whole US exists.

[Gaspar Chilingarov @gasparch]

@JVidjeskog @Porkchop_EXP They will paid about 60%, which is unpleasant, but still livable. But then when businesses open they don't have problems with rehiring and retraining ppl, just just retained all their human capital

[Gaspar Chilingarov @gasparch]

@JVidjeskog @Porkchop_EXP But ppl in Denmark have good enough social protection to not to care and just calmly carry on with finding a new job. On the other hand in Germany you can cut down the salary of your workforce and send them home (exactly what happened during the 2020)
