I wonder what the age distribution is for people using Chatroulette? Also, is it different for men and women? 2. So if there’s nowhere for you to take those skills, one often turns to hacking. As I said in my story, oil, gas, mineral extraction, etc.-not start-ups-fund nearly two-thirds of the Russian federal budget. The hi-tech sector, though booming, is still relatively small. The other part of the answer is that there are still relatively few opportunities for kids with programming skills in Russia. A notable example was when a major hacker was traced to the Philippines and had to be let go because hacking was not a crime in the Philippines. Moreover, it’s hard to get any international agreement on what constitutes a crime, or a punishment. Hacking is a highly lucrative, fast-evolving business-at least for those that do it for money, and it doesn’t seem that Andrey was-and governments and legal systems tend to move slowly. The first, more global answer is that this is a legal area that has yet to catch up to the technology. How come he’s not in jail? Why isn’t hacking punished the way fraud or embezzlement are in the nonvirtual world? Unless I misunderstood your piece, he broke into private email accounts, stole material from his school’s computer system for the purpose of cheating, and brought down commercial sites for the fun of it, probably causing business owners significant losses. Here’s my question: Andrey Ternovskiy may be an innovator, but he started out as a hacker. QUESTION FROM JOAN WARNER: Thank you for the terrific story particularly your analysis of what makes Chatroulette so compelling. Then as reality hit-meetings, the need to work and improve the site, the loneliness of turning 18 without your family-he cooled to it and told me that America is just like everywhere else-boring. At first, and especially after he got to San Francisco, he seemed to swoon a bit. ![]() ![]() It was also especially interesting to me to hear how he was adjusting to America given his high hopes for the place. Europe quickly diversified away from Russian oil and gas, depriving Russia of its main energy market.JULIA IOFFE: Yes, I’ve tried to stay in touch with Andrey, partially because it’s hard to just let go of an interesting person you get to know so well by reporting a story. As I explained in my dispatch last week, Russia originally thought it could punish the collective West, but that gun didn’t fire. Last summer and fall, the West worried about a hard, cold winter exacerbated by the potential twin punch of high energy prices and Moscow’s ability to weaponize Europe’s dependence on Russian energy. Yes, there have been inflationary pressures but that’s not enough: on the whole, the West is wealthy enough to withstand them. And, indeed, while Russia has punished the Ukrainian people a bushel and a peck and a noose around the neck, what about the West? The Ukrainian military, which has come to be known as the MacGuyver army in defense circles, has fought bravely and with great flexibility, able to deftly outmaneuver what was once considered the second most potent army in the world, doing so with a patchwork of various weapons systems from all the various countries of Europe and the U.S. ![]() This is why, from the very beginning, Moscow has framed this war as one not between Russia and Ukraine, but rather one between Russia and what Vladimir Putin and his coterie love to call “the collective West.” And, according to this consensual ideology, it is this collective West-not the incompetence of any generals or advisors-that has thwarted Putin’s aims of swallowing Ukraine and fulfilling his dream of a pan-Slavic super state with Moscow at its capital. Moscow has made no secret of this frustration or its assertion that the battle for Ukraine was a proxy war against the West, itself. It was the fact that Ukraine was armed with NATO weaponry, its troops trained by NATO advisors, its intelligence services constantly fed information by Western intel agencies. ![]() From Moscow’s vantage point, it isn’t simply the gross incompetence of its military and intelligence services that prevented Russia from seizing Ukraine in a flashy blitzkrieg last February. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Havis Amanda statue symbolizes the rebirth of the city of Helsinki, capital of Finland. The Little Mermaid statue in Copenhagen is an icon of that city as well as of Denmark. Some of these mermaid statues have become icons of their city or country, and have become major tourist attractions in themselves. Countries with public art mermaid sculptures include Russia, Finland, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Denmark, Norway, England, Scotland, Ireland, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, France, Spain, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Greece, Turkey, India, China, Thailand, South Korea, Japan, Guam, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, Ecuador, Colombia, Mexico, Cayman Islands, Mexico, Saudi Arabia (Jeddah), the United States (including Hawaii and Virgin Islands) and Canada. Sculptures and statues of mermaids can be found in many countries and cultures, with over 130 public art mermaid statues across the world. Interesting comments about mermaids, and here's Wikipedia's take on the statues (and if you look these up, yes they are typically nude): I have not done the daily puzzles but recently have been reading the blog and comments, for the company. Speaking of CAGE, I’m not sure the hamster is in one, but this is worth a look. Kyle – loved THREAD and BIRDSONG and their clues. I guess this is a sniper skill, right? They bate their breath in the moments before taking the shot? We can hence say that snipers are master hiders, master aimers, and, as regards their breath, master… well, you do the math. ![]() So if I’m waiting with bated breath, I’m effectively lessening the force and intensity of my breath. It’s transitive and means to lessen the force and intensity of. Isn’t any item on a to-do list an ACTION ITEM?

Right before our shut down, I walked into the room where he was working and over the jazz he had playing, I said, acting delighted, Is that Stan Getz? No, it wasn’t, but I think I made another inroad by cleverly tricking him into thinking we share a love of jazz.īMW – Bread Meal Water. whatever it takes for him to move my work order from the bottom of his to-do list and make it an ACTION ITEM. I’ve brought him cookies, several Frito pie lunches. The IT guy at our school is one tough cookie, and I’m shameless in my attempts to court his favor. So of course I didn’t know SUN RA, as a mythological god or as a jazz great. (Rex – enjoyed your mental mermaid meandering.) There is so so much I don’t know about fancy stuff that I was vaguely thinking some mythological goddesses might be mermaids, and they always bum around in groups of nine. Other wrong thoughts: “sable pelt” for CAMEL HAIR and “nonet” for NUDES. Well, I confidently entered “snots” at 1A, and that mucked things up there for a while. If you mean "pure water" just say "pure water." Who is saying this in Latin? Here is the least helpful dictionary note in history (thanks, Collins!): But surely it has some specialty meaning.

![]() The preference is to begin a message or report with an executive summary or bullet points (just like this one). In an application-first culture, individuals are trained to begin with a fact, statement, or opinion and later add concepts to back up or explain the conclusion as necessary. The preference is to begin a message or report by building up a theoretical argument before moving on to a conclusion. In a principles-first culture, individuals have been trained to first develop the theory of complex concepts before presenting a fact, statement, or opinion. How do you persuade someone of a different perspective? The ways in which you persuade others and the kinds of arguments you find convincing are deeply rooted in your culture’s philosophical, religious, and educational assumptions and attitudes. > In our team, most of us landed much further on the right side of the scale than the default position of Germany expects, which suggests that for keeping up team morale we should lean towards an indirect style of providing negative feedback. Qualifying descriptors are often used (e.g.: sort of inappropriate, slightly unprofessional) when criticizing (see for example the sandwich way of giving feedback). Positive messages are used to wrap negative ones. In cultures appreciating indirect negative feedback, feedback to a colleague is provided subtly and diplomatically. Absolute descriptors are often used (e.g.: totally inappropriate, completely unprofessional) and criticism may be given to an individual in front of a group. Negative messages stand alone, not softened by positive ones. In cultures appreciating direct negative feedback, such feedback to a colleague is provided honestly and bluntly. This scale measures a preference between frank versus diplomatic negative feedback. What is constructive feedback? All cultures believe that criticism should be given constructively, but the definition of it varies greatly.
