Not necessarily ads. It could be patron style funding. In lichess style, when patron receives only badge, or patreon style, with extra games, skins, stats for patrons. Good luck with a great platform.

Thanks, that sounds like an interesting idea as well, need to give it some thought

After this article I installed AdBlock Home to my HA unit and moved DHCP to it. Filtered LG domains and few thousands others. Apparently LG TV actively uses internet even in switched off state.

It's bonkers to say the least and unacceptable.

But there is no sanctions against all citizens of Belarus. Yes some companies that support regime of lukashenko are under sanctions. But not everyone. I moved from Belarus due to lawfulness in my country, living in Poland and now I’m under sanctions? That’s insane.

The supreme irony is that these sanctions also apply to political dissidents than had to run away from Belarus. Corporate cost benefit analysis applied to shoddily written laws leads to unintended consequences.

Could be specific address or name, we would not know since the match in the list is not disclosed.

It can also be false positive, the compliance departments use specialized software do a non-exact match since it’s not a straightforward process because countries use different alphabets, address systems, naming conventions etc. So they identify potential risky clients and someone does an assessment and if they think that it could be a real match they pull the trigger.

Sometimes your names is Ahmad, other times it’s Yuri and and the life is not easy for you.

To add, Apple got in trouble when it did only do an exact match: https://www.wsj.com/articles/apple-settles-allegations-of-u-...

> On the day Mr. Stjepanovic and SIS were blacklisted, Apple ran the new designations against its app developer account holder names. But the company’s sanctions-screening tool failed to identify SIS as a blacklisted entity because Apple’s system listed the company as “SIS DOO,” rather than “SIS d.o.o” on OFAC’s list, according to the agreement.

Insane probably, but there is always going to be some friction and gap between policy and implementation. It is good to inquire and understand where the gaps are. You are doing the right thing but shining the sun light and trying to recruit people to make your case is good.

Let's see how Apple reacts.

Are there sanctions against Belarusian banks or other institutions which are necessary to functionally do business with people in Belarus?

This could be specific name.

Think in terms of apple employees.

If you over blacklist, then okay that is not ok. That is bad.

If you decide to under-blacklist, you might actually end up in jail for a long time.

So, over blacklisting it is.

Moreover, I’m citizen of Belarus, but living in Poland, tax resident of Poland. My developer account is tied with legal entity in Poland and bank account in Poland. I was banned too. :/

How were you linked to Belarus?

Initially my account was registered for sole proprietor in Belarus. I’ve changed linked legal entity when moved to Poland. That was almost a year ago.

I’d prefer to remove my app from being used in Belarus than being banned myself.

There is no pure python out there. It's python with bindings to the highly optimized C code. It would be fair to say it's C gives you almost million of RPS in some tweaked tests.

Wow, now tell me how H.265 works!

Any alternatives for Dropbox Sync API?

We're based in Minsk, Belarus. I was in Karlsruhe on SotM-EU'14 recently, and I like shape of the city centre. It's looks beautiful on map. :)

Yes, we'll add Android support later this year.

How about the web platform?

GLMap.framework made for offline maps on mobile devices. Most of it written in C++11, and we can't port it to JavaScript + WebGL.

As far I know Mapbox works on WebGL map rendering solution.
