Why Did the Soviet Union Collapse? Image cour­tesy of Léonard Gianadda, a Swiss pho­togra­her who vis­ited Moscow in 1957. This is prob­a­bly one of the length­i­est and most con­tro­ver­sial top­ics to attempt, yet it is very impor­tant for our blog to answer — or at least to raise this ques­tion. If you have been fol­low­ing us for a lit­tle while, you would know that by mid 1980s the atmos­phere in Rus­sia was tense. The mir­a­cle of doing well in the WWII had been wear­ing out. Guns or butter? I would like to start this analy­sis by going back to the years of WWII, when the Soviet Union had one-third of the com­bined indus­trial poten­tial of Nazi Ger­many, its allies and the Nazi-occupied coun­tries, and, more­over, lost half its indus­try in the early months of the war. This in turn affected the sci­en­tific dis­tri­b­u­tion: as all the best sci­en­tists, engi­neers, mate­ri­als and machin­ery were, by strict orders from the high­est com­mand, del­e­gated to the mil­i­tary sector.

Plastic to oil fantastic, Japan This video brief about the invention of a plastic-to-oil converting machine went viral and exceeded 3.7 million views on YouTube. This is evidence that concern over “the plastic problem” is certainly not going away, despite encouraging bans on and decreases in the use of plastic shopping bags. Here on Our World, on the video’s YouTube page and those of re-posters too, as well as on the hot Reddit Science link, the topic has generated much interest and debate amongst commenters. Many think that this type of recycling is not a solution, but that instead the world should be seriously focused on the first “R” — which is reduce. We should shun single-use plastic (such as your average PET bottle or disposable container) altogether, they argue. The world’s oil resources are diminishing; does technology like this enable our denial of that fact, or is it a hopeful and constructive step in the right direction? Others have concerns about pollution or toxic residue from the conversion process.

Why Did the Soviet Union Collapse? At Raven, we experiment a lot. We consider our projects as our own version of skunkworks. Sometimes the experiments are driven by mere curiosity, while others are meant to see how far we can push the boundaries of a service. All of our experiments have one common element, problem solving. When we first created the kl.am URL shortener, we did it to solve a problem. Campaign variables are great, because you can assign a source, medium, and name, like Twitter and/or Social Media Campaign. So campaign variables is the main reason we built kl.am, period. Several months after we debuted an SEO friendly URL shortener that supported campaign variables, many existing and new shorteners added them to their service. With the mass support of campaign variables, it wasn’t necessary for us to keep kl.am running. Spammers use of kl.am became epic. We appreciate everyone who properly used kl.am in their campaigns and on a daily basis.
