Correct. From Wikipedia [1] "On 2 September 2022, the company announced that natural gas supplies via the Nord Stream 1 pipeline would remain shut off indefinitely until [...] compressor station [...] was fixed [...]. Gazprom justified this by claiming that European Union sanctions against Russia had resulted in technical problems".
From CNN Business [2] "On Friday [September 2 2022], shortly after the G7 announcement [of the oil price cap], Russian state energy giant Gazprom said it would not resume deliveries through the Nord Stream 1 pipeline on Saturday as planned."
On 26 September 2022, NS1 and NS2 pipelines were damaged ending any possibility of Russia using them for political pressure or profit.
My understanding is a bit different. Gazprom and or the Nord Stream operator insisted on fulfilling its contractual obligations for delivery but the situation became overly complicated for the reception of payment and some foreign to be repaired turbines were stuck in Canada or Germany because of sanctions against Russia. Then boom.
Let's also not forget that blowing up those pipelines caused a sevear ecological disaster releasing an enormous amount of gas into the atmosphere. The pipes are keep under pressure even when no gas is moving.
Who ever did it committed an act of terrorism and a crime against nature.
When I built GitButler[0], I did so fully expecting that GitHub might come one day and kill it by providing a better integrated solution. That's the natural order of things, ultimately, whoever owns the platform, controls it and 3rd parties can't do much. That's also the reason I've shifted my attention more towards open platforms lately.
From what I hear he has 3 more years. It's damn impressive when you consider who he had to beat and the problems they were given. He also came into this year's IOI with two golds and one silver from previous years, so he has a lot of experience. Another major feat is that he recently became the youngest TopCoder target (top 20 or so in an open ranking system).
My point exactly! It is plain ludicrous to think that the imperialistic ambitions-driven Russian government would flood Livejournal, Twitter and Facebook just to silence that one guy. I mean, in the end, these are the same media that Russian bloggers use to state their anti-Georgian opinions.
It was either a lets-see-what-will-happen DDoS or this guy indeed orchestrated it to gain some popularity.
