Ukrainian developers have connected machine learning to the monitoring of Russian propaganda. The website https://warofwords.info/ offers a search for key Russian TV channels, RuTube, YouTube channels, and Telegram channels. Videos are fully transcribed, which can greatly facilitate the work of fact-checkers. Search by keywords, speakers, sources, types of resources, and specific TV shows are available. There used to be (and there are, and I use them) tools on Azure that allowed something similar, but the input level was higher purely technically. There were no options for such a detailed analysis of a specific range of sources. Features:  - Data available since 2013. I hope developers will expand the timeline. But it's still cool.   - The tool is not only focused on the Ukrainian agenda. Try searching 'Kazakhstan' and you'll see. - It operates in both Russian and English. - Compared to Google and Yandex searches, the output is often more relevant, as the segment is narrower. "Often" does not equal "always", don't forget about dorks and other useful things.  - Not all notable characters are marked in the databases, as the AI is still learning, but the key ones are easy to find.  - The database does not cover all TV channels of interest for research, but it includes the main ones.  - The tool is fast and user-friendly. Overall, this tool is valuable and deserves a spot in the browser bookmarks of fact-checkers and OSINT professionals.

russia continue to send tanks and other military equipment to the border with Ukraine. this terrorist state don’t think of negotiations, no a single sign of it. Please stand with Ukraine! Ask your governments to support with military aid as quickly as possible. Recent statistics is showing that russia is able to fulfill own war related needs 2-4 times faster that US and Europe combined are helping Ukraine to win. Future decisions should be more prompt , decisive and brave in order Ukraine to stop these orcas for good, once and for all.

Why should you support Ukraine? 1. To save American and European lives. Russian Kinzhal missile #reaches European capitals in 10 min. 2. To avoid a global war. Russian victory would #embolden other dictators. 3. To save money. The US and the EU spent only 0.3% and 0.4% of their GDPs to support Ukraine. The cost of direct confrontation with Moscow is much #higher for the West. Supporting Ukraine today = securing your own safety tomorrow. And why do YOU support you Ukraine? #supportUkraine🇺🇦

In my personal opinion - Ukraine was FORCED to cross russian border and take over some of the official russian territory. Who forced it? The USA, and potential presidency of Donald Trump - who openly speaks about "Minsk 3" style "freeze", that would allow russia to re-arm in 3 or 5 or maybe 8 years, and then finish up Ukraine. Just like it happened before with Minsk 1 and Minsk 2 - which both led to the current full-scale invasion. Though Biden/Sullivan administration is also to blame here - for Minsk 1/2 specifically back in 2014, when Biden was a VP, but also for current containment of war within Ukrainian territory - which is a recipe for defeat for Ukraine. In order to avoid Minsk 3 kind of freeze, where war is temporarily stopped at current front, and then conquered territories are basically awarded to the conqueror (as it de-facto happened with Crimea in 2014, and big parts of Donbass in 2015) - Ukraine must hold some of russia's territories. Russia will never be able to accept Minsk 3 in case it awards some of russian territories to Ukraine, thus the best way to make sure Minsk 3 doesn't happen - is capture of some russian territories. This capture, however, is very costly in terms of manpower and military equipment - which is busy now guarding part of Kursk region, while it is BADLY needed on Pokrovsk direction where russia is advancing every day, destroying town by town, and getting close to bigger towns like Pokrovsk itself (population 61 000 at year 2020), Tchasiv Yar (12 700) and eventually Kramatorsk (185 000) and Slovyansk (109 000).

Tashkent Introduces Paid Parking Tariffs to Regulate Traffic Flow Tashkent Mayor Shavkat Umurzakov has approved a new paid parking system aimed at improving the city's transportation infrastructure and managing traffic. The system will provide public parking, with special provisions for people with disabilities, veterans, and emergency vehicles, reserving at least 5% of spots at no charge. Parking tariffs will vary by zone: Zone 1: 12,000 UZS per hour Zone 2: 10,000 UZS per hour Zone 3: 8,000 UZS per hour Zone 4: 6,000 UZS per hour Zone 5: 5,000 UZS per hour The parking initiative invites local and foreign investors and emphasizes that facilities are not for long-term storage. Vehicle owners are responsible for their own security. For more: https://lnkd.in/d66Z_EXE #UzbekistanNews #Tashkent #TrafficRegulation #Parking #KunUz

Look at this guy. He’s a Ukrainian developer who built a $19.3B app His purpose? Prove The Silicon Valley wrong. The story of Jan Koum and what happened next: Jan Koum called his 9 years at Yahoo a prison sentence. His LinkedIn profile for this period said "did some work." Pure boredom that most of us can relate to. Jan moved from Ukraine to Mountain View at 16 He & his mother lived off food stamps He eventually studied programming Then he met his co-founder Brian while working at Ernst & Young Brian liked Jan's no-bs approach. Everyone else tried to bribe him with wine for a job. Over 9 years Jan & Brian played ultimate frisbee & worked together When they travelled it cost a fortune to call family If you called them and they didn't answer, you had to SMS them to find out what they were upto. So Brian made an app that showed someone's status. Disaster! In 2009, Apple introduced push notifications. Everything changed. Jan noticed people didn't just use his app to check their status... They used it to communicate what they were doing. Allowing them to message each other seemed an obvious next step. Adding messaging made Whatsapp user growth explode. Initial success came from Apple's app store. But Jan later decided to ignore Silicon Valley and focus on immigrants who didn't have iPhones. He built Whatsapp for Nokia phones when everyone else was focused on Apple. They added 328,767 users a day with this plan Silicon Valley stopped laughing at him Whatsapp was free & still is. Zucks then reached out to Jan. They had dinner. Then Facebook bought Whatsapp for $19.3B Facebook paid billions for this data: • 65 billion messages sent a day • Access to users’ contact lists • Personal information Data was worth more than revenue Whatsapp never spent a dollar on marketing They stood for the immigrant user that the rich, white, tech dudes ignored. They had 55 employees when they sold They had strong values (see pic) around how to treat users' data. 2 years after the Whatsapp sale Jan quit. He was pissed off that Facebook wanted to do things with user data that he swore never to do. Jan now keeps a low profile. • His social media has gone quiet. • A google search shows he rarely does interviews anymore. • He cruises around in his $200M superyacht Jan is proof that privacy is a luxury, and fame is a nightmare. Make some money then exit the matrix. --- Follow Snehil Chhabria for more! #whatsapp #startups #unicorn #meta #business #wealth #finance #investing #luxury #indiangdp #gdp #funding #zuckerberg src- Tim at Twitter

THE PLAN: thoughts of a job-seeker after a maternity leave, p.II Hi there! In the previous post of this series (see #mathernity_leave), I shared my thoughts about the current state of IT in Ukraine. Let`s move on! So, the decision is made - I want to resume my work as a front-end web developer. I`m the kind of a person who needs constant development; my brain demands to be occupied. Otherwise, I may become unbearable 😏. I will do my best to get a decent job offer at a reliable company that shares my values. To achieve this, I need to enhance my competitiveness as an applicant. I developed a roadmap that hopefully leads me to my goal. Here are the prior milestones for me to focus on: 🔸refresh knowledge of technical basics (programming principles like OOP & SOLID, JavaScript, TypeScript, Angular, RxJs)📖 🔹enhance my English (vocabulary, speaking & writing practice)🗣 🔸 hands-on coding (pet project, test tasks, courses)💻  🔹personal brand (CV, LinkedIn profile info & activity)💼  🔸 apply to vacancies (get through interviews -> do test tasks -> gather feedback -> start over till success)💡 As this post is being composed, I have already started working towards the mentioned priorities and will keep this pace📈. The next step to take after a while - is to get an #OpenToWork badge on LinkedIn. If I missed something here, your advice is welcome in the comments! #it #job #employment #mathernity_leave #women_in_it #web_developer #frontend

🔥 Last week I attended the great React Architecture conference of the Russian programmers' community Podlodka Crew. I listened to several great talks and discovered many modern frontend approaches, patterns, and libraries. Also, after the conference, I have much more to read and watch about reactive programming, server components, state managers, and so on. That's because some of the talks have broadened my horizons in the frontend, and I was sitting, listening to them, and writing what I wanted to research more on my private Trello board. If you're a Russian speaker, I can advise you to attend Podlodka Crew's events because it seems like a very professional and creative community: podlodka.io 👀 Also, you can listen to one of the conference's talks: https://lnkd.in/dVpyZVZu There Valerii Smirnov talked about state managers and why you as a frontend programmer probably don't need one of them for most of your tasks.

Every day you see a lot of news and media from #Ukraine posted on LinkedIn. Do you want to be among the first to read or post some breaking news about the war? It’s as easy as 1-2-3. 1. Download a Telegram app and subscribe to one or more reliable Ukrainian news channels. 2. Get a notification from your favourite channel and open the most recent article. 3. If needed, translate the article to understand if it’s worth your attention. Save the article media file(s) to your personal device. Copy/paste/edit and post the content on LinkedIn, attaching the corresponding media file(s). Done! If you just beginning with this, the amount of relevant channels could be overwhelming. To save your time I can recommend just a couple of channels to start with: 1. UNITED24Media: https://t.me/United24media This channel translates the news in English, which is very handy for those who don’t want to deal with translation. While some news may not be up to the minute, this channel has media with English subtitles too, so it gives you a ready to post material for LinkedIn. 2. OperativnoZSU: https://t.me/operativnoZSU This is one of the main Ukrainian news Telegram channels about the war. It usually gathers and posts the most recent news (and a lot of media) from different other channels, so you don’t have to browse dozens of them yourself. There are of course plenty of other reliable channels with their own great content. If you like more recommendations to work with just let me know! 📹 How to get the content to post on LinkedIn from a Ukrainian Telegram channel: from OperativnoZSU about the recent return of Ukrainian defenders from captivity.

Ukraine Invasion – 6/18/2024 -- I post each day to support the Ukrainians against Russian dictator Vladimir Putin’s immoral war and his war crimes. Слава Україні! On the frontlines: Ukraine warns of an attempt to capture Borova in Kharkiv, despite overall better circumstances there. South Korea says that it has identified at least 10,000 shipping containers suspected to be containing artillery ammunition and other weapons sent from North Korea to Russia. Italy may send Storm Shadow missiles to Ukraine. Russia’s attacks and war crimes: Ukraine says Russian troops beheaded a Ukrainian soldier in Donetsk. Ukraine strikes back: An overnight Ukrainian drone attack set several oil storage tanks ablaze near the town of Azov in southern Russia. Ukraine claimed responsibility for an overnight drone attack on an oil facility in Russia’s Rostov region. It started a massive blaze in the latest long-range strike by Ukraine. Other news: Axios finds that AI chatbots are spreading Russian propaganda on the Ukraine war. Over 10,000 in Russia prosecuted for refusing to be mobilized. #СлаваУкраїні! #slavaukraini #standwithukraine #russiaterroriststate

The short-seller attack against Kaspi.kz is egregious, borderline discriminatory and definitively a witch hunt. Crafting a Russia connection because #Kaspi works with Yandex Taxi in the KZ market? Really? i) Yandex is not a sanctioned entity; ii) If Uber isn't in the market, who is Kaspi supposed to work with? iii) How can we draw inferential assumptions based on a company's country of origin? Never mind the factual errors on balance holdings of nonresidents at Kaspi Bank. Never mind the bogus circumstantial claims involving screenshots of social media reviews. Never mind the fact that if Culper's McCarthyist research based on replacement of causation with weak correlation was true, every bank in Central Asia would be under sanctions today (contrary to the official stance of the United States). Kaspi has turned the impossible into reality - it has proven that you can build a $2B net profit fintech in Central Asia. It is a larger-than-life company that has broken multiple ceilings - paving the way for others like zypl.ai to emerge out of Central Asia. Just yesterday I put part of my savings into the $KSPI stock to put skin in the game. As a fintech founder from the region, I am not only inspired by what Kaspi has done - I am bullish and long on Kaspi's continued growth.
