Hmm, do they have any significant sales directly to Russia or Belarus? I assume they still ship to manufacturers somewhere else without requiring that the resulting computer must not be sold to Russia or Belarus.
Intel had several R&D facilities in Russia. At this point, any CS students/junior programmes are between a rock and a hard place - on one side, there are now much less work locally - many companies left the market, the rest of them are not recruiting as many Juniors/Interns as they did. Yandex, one of the biggest ones, freezed hiring altogether.
On the other side, they can't go work somewhere else. If you are not all that experienced, no foreign companies would be interested in sponsoring a visa for you. Some companies just stopped working with Russians: for instance, several days ago Google cancelled all summer internships for Russian citizens, and added rules to ban them from Google Summer of code.
I knew that their withdrawal from the market would eventually happen, but I really did hope that the R&D would stay open.
When we consider $3,000,000,000+ in weapons being sent to ukraine to just explode like fireworks, imagine how much cheaper it would be to dramatically accelerate brain drain from Russia…
I work with amazingly smart Russians, and it’s clear their STEM education is top notch, but they are held back by their Kremlin ‘leadership’… sad situation
I’m guessing Russia would respond like what happened during the cold war, eventually put up a wall to trap people in their self-imposed prison, but in the meantime, we should take advantage it seems.
Wondering how this will affect development of e.g. OpenCV - seems lots of contributors are from Russia and/or Intel employees. Moving the whole team abroad probably is hard make and even understandably not everyone wanna leave past life behind and setup new roots somewhere else. Also not sure about Open3d or Realsense where are they mostly developed.
I mean, their own government committing atrocities in their name, with record high approval rates. And every dollar which goes into russia will fund the war.
May be they should deal with that first, with consequences of their decisions. Or decisions made in their names while they did nothing. It is russian citizens who hold sole responsibility for everything going on in Ukraine.
Information about high approval rates comes only from sources fully controlled by Russian president. I see no reasons to trust them in anything, especially this.

Intel employees working for Intel in Russia are paying some taxes in Russia but generally benefit an US company. After loosing job in Intel they will have a hard time finding a job in rapidly failing economy and one of options they would have is to work in military-industrial complex. I'm sure Intel will be "happy".
Doors to leave Russia are rapidly closing and not from the Russian side. Western policies aimed to stop brain drain from Russia are completely misguided. I'm sure Putin is laughing in his nuclear shelter when he reads that EU countries are stopping granting visas to Russian citizens.
It is not Putin's war. It is russian attacking ukraine. With elected leader, with overwhelming support. Every russian is responsible for every atrocity. Russians never was good in takin responsibility for their actions, always blaming 'the government' they elect and support. I have enough of this shit.
Elect? Support? Elections in Russia is a show. I'm afraid you don't see a difference between a democratic state and an authoritarian one (which Russia was even before turning into dictatorship).
Thank God when our governments kill innocent civilians they do it far away from Europe where it doesn't matter /s
I know there's more to it, but I can't help but feel this every time I heard that kind of reasoning. The truth is it's just because we have the power to do this whereas when we're in the wrong most people can't do anything about it
If this will be confirmed, she would be tried for war crimes. Individuals in Ukrainian forces are held responsible.
This does not compare to planned and executed mass murders on the scale russians executes in Ukraine. I don't even know why should I respond to this clear provocation.
By the way. This is probably after russian invasion of 2014. There is no confirmation of what you wrote, when it took time. Also, subtitles does not match video. This seem like a fake overall.

do Ukrainian citizens hold sole responsibility for these people shooting villages with RPGs for fun? [1]
