Soviet economy was growing, and rather quick by today standards https://nintil.com/2016/03/26/...
Actually, it's a difficult and interesting question - why the USSR fell. Still unanswered.
The betrayal of soviet elites played a big role in that, I think
The probability of him using his computer for a crime is much lower that the probability of students using their smartphones for cheating during an exam
That's correct. That's the only exception in the Eastern Europe. But actually it's half correct. Because Moldovans speak Romanian language and Romanian has used the Latin alphabet much longer than since 1989
I don't understand people saying that it will make learning languages easier. If it's difficult to you to learn 26 characters how are you going to learn thousands of words, phrases and rules? Also why should it matter to me how many people from countries with different languages use the same alphabet as my language? It doesn't matter.
I wish they switched to the original Turkic script. Kazakh is a Turkic language. Its original script is the Turkic script https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... It ideally fits phonetics of Turkic languages (unlike Latin). Also it looks beautiful
This is rather old news. They switched a year ago.
Kazakhstan is changing its alphabet for the 3rd time during the last 100 years
arabic -> latin (1929)
latin -> cyrillic (1938)
cyrillic -> latin (2017.10.26)
Actually 4 times. Because they didn't like the version of their new latin script of 2017.10.26 and changed it to another version on 2018.02.19
MMS loads its content via data connection over GPRS/3G/4G.
No data connection - no MMS.
While SMS can work without data connection, and therefore is more reliable.
What I'm talking about is a new SMS that can work without data connection same as the old SMS
Aleksander Kogan, a Russian data scientist who gave lectures at St. Petersburg State University
They are making it sound like he is a Russian data scientist because he gave a few lectures at St. Petersburg State University. His parents moved to the United States when he was seven. He's obviously a citizen of the US and therefore an American data scientist.
What does it mean "enough videos"? How can you measure it? There are almost 100000 polling stations in Russia. Around 80% of them have cameras. Everyone could watch them via the Internet (as well as capture the video stream). And there are only 10 or several tens of such videos.
>>Corporations are perfect and never make mistakes, huh?
Some do, some not. Some do more mistakes, some less. And if diversity made corporations more competitive, we would see the corporations that are more diverse winning over those that are less diverse. Like in a natural selection process. But this is not happening.
"Russia could cut off internet to nato countries british military chief warns" 2017 DEC 14 https://www.theguardian.com/wo... Peach’s warning came against a background of proposed cutbacks to the UK’s armed forces, including a reduction in the number of marines from 7,000 to 6,000 and the scrapping of two amphibious landing ships as part of a Cabinet Office security review scheduled to be announced early next year.
You are talking what you know nothing about. I saw how the situation in Chechnya was developing very closely to me. To compare it to Taiwan? There wasn't anything close to Taiwan in resemblance in Chechnya. There were only 2-3 years of anarchy there when Russian government have no control over that Russian province. And that's it

To learn Chinese requires memorization of characters and a separate memorization of pronunciation
As if in English you can infer pronunciation from spelling. In Spanish or German or Russian - you can. In English - you can't. You have to memorize
What's wrong with whataboutism? whataboutism = calling out hypocrisy.

The American model would not work in these countries because of corruption. Also, they would cheat on those "SATs ACTs" too.
The internet makes much easier.
That doesn't mean that they should not try fighting it with shutting of the internet
You are exaggerating Japan's problems very much
So you are cheating

Those who used Cyrillic in the Eastern Europe continue to use Cyrillic. Some former soviet union countries in Cental Asia switched to Latin

I don't understand why SMS is not updated. They create G3, G4, G5, VoLTE. Why SMS is still the same? They could at least make messages longer.

I agree. I liked youtube's comment system with pagination much better
Ukraine uses every chance to blame everything on Russia.
What deportations did Gorbachev stop? Deportations were under Stalin. It's like 40 years before Gorbachev
Of course Ukraine would say that. No matter it's true or not. Because that hurts Russia and that what Ukraine wants now
