Russia started the full scale invasion with 190 000 troops (out of 1 M total active military personnel). Today they have 700 000 deployed in Ukraine. Casualties are probably 200 000 killed and up to a 1 M injured. At the same time they now have 1.3 M total active military personnel. Estimate that 1/3 of the injured are bad enough that they aren’t effective as soldiers. That is 500k unrecoverable losses, and a military that is 300k larger, so they have recruited another 800k to be where they are today.
If they stop fighting actively, then it becomes easier to recruit again without mobilising. Give it a few years and they could have another go at some other location. They clearly don’t care about casualties. Maybe not against NATO, but Georgia, Azerbaijan etc. And so it could continue for a very long time.

Citations for numbers from Claude, that are all best estimates.
“Elements heavier than iron, up to bismuth, are primarily produced via the s-process (slow neutron capture) in low to medium-mass stars during their later evolutionary stages.
The remaining and heaviest elements (beyond iron and bismuth) are formed through explosive events: core-collapse supernovae generate elements between neon and nickel, while the r-process (rapid neutron capture) in supernovae and, predominantly, neutron star mergers creates elements like uranium and thorium, dispersing them into the interstellar medium for planetary formation.”
I think it is a valid military strike if a Venezuelan soldier does it on an order. Military targets where a strike are in danger of killing civilians are a hard judgment call. Generally one should never risk targeting civilians. Military law is a complex subject and officers spend quite a lot of time being educated in it. Here is a Swedish defence college course on it. https://www.fhs.se/en/swedish-defence-university/courses/int...
In IT it may be the case. In foodtech it is a problem. This may sound reassuring, as we don’t really want much of the stuff being sold in the US here in the EU. But, for new approaches regarding food production the EU regulatory environment is unfortunately a morass. There are lots of regulation which is neither fact or experience based, for example around insects, or ecological labelling.
I find it absolutely bizarre that people post about stuff they are seemingly have no idea about. Like, code signing & notarization provides clear quality of life improvement for many users. And your reasons are just plain wrong.
1. 100$ is a pocket change for many people. Depending where you live. I think it is enough of a barrier to force a thoughtful action. Also, to compare, cheapest certificates for signing windows software are like 450$/year. Microsoft has a hosted service now for $15/year, but that is still in beta. Both of those options are significantly more expensive than 99$/year Apple charges.
2. No, Apple does not deny randomly access to developer accounts. Also, this is quite besides the poin.
3. Code Signing has absolutely nothing to do with submitting your app to app store, or anything Apple has to approve of. Like, why even write about something you have no idea about?
100$ a year is a lot of money if you aren't planning I'm selling anything. The instructions to build from scratch or run it without signing aren't difficult.
I've literally had to argue with Apple for months to get my account approved.
It was not a fun process, eventually they did grant me an account, but then just keep up an old hobbyist game I was wasting that 100$ a month.
I ended up just recompiling for WebGL and uploading to itch.
Going through the hoops for code signing and getting account doesn't make sense if OP isn't going to sell it on the app store.
Finally, it's not like this is the only raw editor.
How many people.
A: Will pick an open source feature lite raw editor which isn't going to be as good as Darktable or Lightroom.
And
B: Aren't willing to build from source or literally run a single terminal command to run the unsigned version.
Now, if OP wants to sell it on the app store then I'm completely wrong. But otherwise it's not a good use of time.
You're free to reach out to OP and offer them 100$ + another 300$ for time spent having to apply for a Developer account.
