La invasión ha recibido una condena internacional generalizada en los países occidentales del Norte global (principalmente Estados Unidos, Canadá, la Unión Europea, Reino Unido, Noruega, Australia, Nueva Zelanda, Corea del Sur y Japón), que ha impuesto sanciones económicas a Rusia. Otros países, como China, India y Brasil, han evitado condenar la invasión, mientras que un grupo de países del Sur Global, algunos de ellos integrantes también de Occidente,[19] no comparten la narrativa sobre la guerra.[20] En una resolución por parte de la ONU se condenó la invasión rusa con una amplia mayoría,[21] siendo ratificado en febrero de 2023.[22] Tanto antes como durante la invasión, varios de los Estados miembros de la OTAN han brindado su apoyo militar a Ucrania —la organización no ha realizado una participación específica en este sentido—[23] al igual que la Unión Europea cuyas medidas en respuesta a Rusia han aumentado paulatinamente.[24] Por su parte, el presidente de Bielorrusia anunció en octubre la llegada a su país de los primeros soldados rusos para la fuerza militar conjunta «únicamente defensiva» que buscaba «garantizar la seguridad de su frontera».[2

💡The week that crypto grew up
Hi,
I found it weird that the US infrastructure bill included so much, often cacophonous detail, about crypto, but the ways of politics can be long-winded.
The topic was important enough so I sought out the best person who could help us understand what was going on. EVmember, Kevin Werbach is an erstwhile regulator, with a stint at the FCC when regulating the Internet was under discussion in the mid-1990s. He is also the author of one of the clearest books on the blockchain. Kevin also edited EV in August 2019 when I was on holiday. Please take a moment to thank Kevin and share his essay.
Since this piece was first published earlier this week, the Senate passed a $1.2 trillion infrastructure package as originally introduced a week before.

But these studies on the halo effect of attractiveness, should make us suspicious that there may be a similar halo effect for kindness, or intelligence.
You can identify your halos and pitchforks. These are the attributes that cause you to be most easily and unconsciously drawn into the halo effect and they are known as implicit biases.
