The War That Will End War by H. G. Wells, is part of the HackerNoon Books Series. You can jump to any chapter in this book here . COMMON SENSE AND THE BALKAN STATES COMMON SENSE AND THE BALKAN STATES The Balkan States never have been a problem, they have only been a part of a problem. That is why no human being has ever yet produced even a paper solution acceptable to another human being. The attempt to settle Balkan affairs with the Austro-Hungarian Empire left out of the problem has been like an attempt to deal with a number of hospital cases in which the head and shoulders of one patient, the legs of another, the abdomen of a third had to be disregarded. The bulk of the Servian people and a great mass of the Rumanians were in the Austro-Hungarian system, and it was the Austrian bar to any development of Servia towards the Adriatic that forced that country back into its unhappy conflict with Bulgaria. Now everything has altered. English people need trouble no longer about Austrian susceptibilities, and not merely our interests but our urgent necessities march with the reasonable ambitions of the four Balkan nations. Let us begin by clearing away a certain amount of nonsense that is said and believed by many good people about two of these States. It is too much the custom to speak and write of Servia and Bulgaria as though they were almost hopelessly barbaric and criminal communities, incapable of participation in the fellowship of European nations. The murder of the late King and Queen of Servia, the assassination of Serajevo, the foolish onslaught of Bulgaria upon Servia that led to the break-up of the Balkan League, and the endless cruelties and barbarities of the warfare in Macedonia, are allowed to weigh too much against the clear need of a reunited Greater Servia, a restored Bulgaria, and the reasonable prospect of a rehabilitated Balkan League. Now there is no getting over the hard facts of these crimes and cruelties. But they have to be kept in their proper proportion to the tremendous issues now before the world. Let us call in a few figures that will fix the scale. The Servian people number altogether over ten millions, the Rumanians as many, there are more than twenty million Poles, and perhaps seven millions Bulgarians. The Czechs and Slovenes total six or seven millions, the Magyars exceed ten millions, and the Ruthenians still under Austrian control four millions. It is manifest to every reasonable Englishman now that very few of these sixty or seventy million people are likely to be socially and politically happy until 91they have got themselves disentangled from intimate subjection to alien rulers speaking unfamiliar tongues, and it is equally manifest that until they are reasonably content, the peace of the rest of Europe will remain uncertain. So that it is upon these regions that the peace of England, France, Germany, Russia and Italy rests. The lives, therefore, of hundreds of millions of people must be affected, for good or evil, by the sane re-mapping and pacification of south-eastern Europe. In that sane re-mapping and pacification we are, in fact, dealing with matters so gigantic that the mere assassination of this person or the murder of that dwindles almost to the vanishing point. It is surely preposterous that the murder of an unwise young King, who subordinated his nation’s destinies to a romantic love affair, a murder done, not by a whole nation, not even by a mob, but by less than a hundred officers, who were at least as patriotic as they were cruel, or even the net of conspiracy that killed the Archduke Franz Ferdinand, should stand in the way of the liberation and unity of millions of Serbs who were as innocent of these things as any Wiltshire farmer. All nations have had their criminal and sanguinary phase; the British and American people who profess such a horror of Servia’s murders and Bulgaria’s massacres must be blankly ignorant of the history of Scotland and Ireland and the darker side of the Red Indians’ destiny. 92If murder conspiracy was hatched in Servia, were there no Fenians in Ireland and America? We English, at any rate, have not let the highly-organised Phœnix Park murders drown the freedom of Ireland for ever, or cause a war with America. The sooner we English and Americans clear our minds of this self-righteous cant against the whole Servian race because of a few horrors inevitable in a state of barbaric disturbance, the sooner we shall be able to help these peoples forward to the freedom and security that alone can make such barbarities impossible. It would be just as reasonable to vow undying hatred and pitiless vengeance against the whole German-speaking race (of seventy millions or so) because of the burning and killing in Liège. Stifled nations, outraged races, are the fortresses of resentful cruelty. This war is no cinematograph melodrama. The deaths of Queen Draga and the Archduke Franz Ferdinand are scarcely in this picture at all. It is not the business of statecraft to avenge the past, but to deal with the possibilities of the present and the hope of the future. And the open possibility of the present is for us to bring about a revival of the Balkan League, and identify ourselves with the reasonable hopes of these renascent peoples. In that revival England may play an active and directing part. The break-up of the first Balkan League was a deep disappointment 93to liberal opinion throughout the world; but it was not an irrevocable disaster. The wonder was, indeed, not the rupture but the union. And the rupture itself was very largely due to the thwarting of Servia, not by her associates, but by Austria. Now Austria is out of consideration. For Rumania and for each of the three Balkan Powers, there is a plain, honourable and reasonable advantage in a common agreement and concerted action with us now. There are manifest compensations for Greece in Epirus and the islands and—we can spare it—Cyprus. For Bulgaria there is a generous rectification of Macedonia. The natural expansion of the two northern States has been already indicated. And should Turkey be foolish and blunder at this crisis, then further very natural and quite desirable readjustments become possible. What holds these States back from concerted action on our side now, is merely the distrusts and enmities left over from the break-up of the first Balkan League. They will not readily trust one another again. But they would trust England. They would sit down now at a conference in which England and Russia and Italy were represented, and to which England and Russia and Italy would bring assurances of a permanent settlement and arrange every detail of their prospective boundaries in a day. They would arrange a peace that would last a century. England could do more than reconcile; she could finance. 94And the attack upon Vienna and the German rear would then be reinforced immediately by six or seven hundred thousand seasoned soldiers. Moreover, it is scarcely possible that Italy could refuse to come into this war if a reunited Balkan League did so. With the Servians in Dalmatia it would be scarcely possible to keep the Italians out of Trieste and Fiume, and long before that earnestly awaited Russian avalanche won its way to Berlin, this southern attack might be in Vienna. The time when the scope of this war could be restricted is past long ago, and every fresh soldier who goes into action now shortens the agony of Europe. But it is not with the immediate military advantages of a Balkan League that I am most concerned. A Balkan League of Peace, for mutual protection, will be an absolute necessity in a regenerated Europe. It is necessary for the tranquillity of the world. It is necessary if the Wiltshire farmer is to herd his sheep in peace; it is necessary if people are to be prosperous and happy in Chicago and Yokohama. Perhaps “Balkan League” is now an insufficiently extensive word, since Rumania is not in the Balkan Peninsula, and Italy must necessarily be involved in any enduring settlement. But it is clear that the settlement of Europe upon liberal lines involves the creation of these various ten-to-twenty-million-people States, 95none of them powerful enough to be secure alone, but amounting in the aggregate to the greatest power in Europe, and it is equally clear that they must be linked by some common bond and understanding. There can be no doubt of the very serious complication of all these possibilities by the jerry-built dynastic interests that have been unhappily run up in these new States. It is unfortunate that we have to reckon not only with peoples but kings. Such a monarchy as that of Servia or Bulgaria narrows, personifies, intensifies and misrepresents national feeling. National hatreds and national ambitions can no doubt be at times very malign influences in the world’s affairs, but it is the greed and vanities of exceptional monarchs, of the Napoleons and Fredericks the Great, and so forth, that bring these vague, vast feelings to an edge and a crisis. And it will be these same concentrated and over individualised purposes, these little gods of the coin and postage stamp that will stand most in the way of a reasonable Schweitzerisation and pacification of south-eastern Europe. The more clearly this is recognised in Europe now, the less likely are they, the less able will they be to obstruct a sane settlement. On our side, at least, this is a war of nations and not of princes. It is for that reason that we have to make the discussion of these national arrangements as open and public as we possibly can. This is not a matter 96for the quiet little deals of the diplomatists. This is no chance for kings. All the civilised peoples of the earth have to form an idea of the general lines upon which a pacific Europe can be established, an idea clear and powerful enough to prevent and override the manœuvres of the chancelleries. The nations themselves have to become the custodians of the common peace. In Italy, indeed, this is already the case. The Italian monarchy is a strong and Liberal monarchy, secure in the confidence of its people; but were it not so, it is a fairly evident fact that no betrayal by its rulers would induce the Italian people to make war upon France in the interests of Austria and Prussia. I doubt, too, if the present King of Bulgaria can afford to blunder again. The world moves steadily away from the phase of Court-centred nationalism to the phase of a collective national purpose. It is for the whole strength of western liberalism to throw itself upon the side of that movement, and in no direction can it make its strength so effective at the present time as in the open and energetic promotion of a new and greater Balkan League.

The NEAR Balkans Summership: Web3 Internship

Be careful what you wish for! In theory, we all know what is the Great Firewall of China all about. Right? You don’t have to be a rocket nor a computer scientist to grasp the basics. I think that the more appropriate term would be the Great Internet “Gate” of China. Why? Well, a wall, even in the cyber-space doesn’t leave too much room for negotiations. Your content or message becomes just another brick in the Great Firewall, and that’s it. With the “gatekeepers,” you can at least negotiate what or who gets through and to which extent. Just ask HBO’s “Peacemaker” John Cena, if you took the same crash course in Mandarin Chinese as he did. But hey, you may ask, what does the Great Firewall or “Gate” of China has to do with the decentralized internet? Talking about gates, there’s one The Doors’ song that comes to mind: You know that it would be untrue You know that I would be a liar If I was to say to you Girl, we couldn't get much higher Can China “build” the Firewall so tall, and lock the Internet Gates, so it isolates its Web completely? In other words, could China run its own (limited) version of the World Wide Web? Between Cyber Sovereignty and State Authority Currently, “today’s internet is owned by everyone and no one,” if you can turn a blind cyber eye to Apple, Google, Amazon, and Facebook. China is strongly pushing the idea of , which “could mean that everyone in those countries would need permission from their internet provider to do anything via the internet — whether downloading an app or accessing a site — and administrators could have the power to deny access on a whim. Rather than a unified world wide web, citizens could be forced to connect to a patchwork of national internets, each with its own rules — a concept known in China as cyber sovereignty.” the New IP If this formulation of the so-called “cyber sovereignty” makes your head hurt, here’s the simple and straight the point version of the Chinese president, Xi Jinping himself, who . had already established that the Chinese internet would be a world unto itself . How does it sound to you? China's Independent Internet The Chinese Internet may ultimately become the first separate Internetwork, that while sharing some genes with one parent, the first Internet, also has a separate and different genetic code designed by its national administrators. Oh, I couldn’t care less. Let them have their own Chinet or whatever it’s going to be called. Big deal. Huh! What if your idea about “separatists” and “Balkanized” Webs finds another “host?” World Wide No Peeking Behind The Internet Iron Curtain “ , have been able to access US tech platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and Google, though they have been subject to censorship and restrictions — the defining feature of China’s internet model. But Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which has increasingly isolated the country in recent days, could also prove to be the death knell for its presence on the worldwide web.” Russian citizens, unlike their Chinese counterparts The death knell? Hmm, I don’t think so. It’s more like the perfect excuse to follow the Chinese’s self-isolated internet footsteps. It’s a perfect storm that could lead Russia to finally seal off its population from the rest of the global internet, much like China already has. The perfect storm?! Now, that’s much better. “I think one nuanced difference between Russia and China is that China has the technical capability — their Great Firewall is very sophisticated and Russia doesn’t have as much of that,” “As much as they [Russia] want to do a comprehensive, full blockage, I think technically there are some challenges.” said Xiaomeng Lu, director of the geo-technology practice for the Eurasia Group. But, we all know, where there’s a will, and unfortunately a war in Ukraine, there’s a way. Lu admits it is hard to predict exactly how quickly a complete severing of Russia’s internet from the world will take place, but recent development indicate it could happen in “weeks or maybe even days.” The World Ain’t Perfect - Beware of the Domino Effect! It seems that the “movement” of pulling the Internet plug has more than just two followers: China and Russia. “abandon its efforts to enact a new law that would effectively isolate the country from the global internet.” More commonly referred to as the User Protection Bill, it grants Tehran and the military “extensive control over infrastructure that connects Iran to the global internet.” Two UN experts have called on Iran to “The User Protection Bill” has a license to kill - the Internet. Meaning, that this Bill “would further enhance Iran’s ability to disconnect its population from the outside world during times of crisis.” Freedom House's can be summarized in one picture: “Saudi Arabia: Freedom on the Net 2021 Country Report” Where Do We Decentralize the Internet From Here? One people. One country. One leader. And, One Internet. Is that the future of our brave new digital world? There’s a haunting scene from that should be about new hopes and new worlds. It raises a question about the first person and the ideology the aliens are first to see. the movie “Contact” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-Ngqhe3y-Y Now, imagine the “next generation” that’s more Internet than TV-oriented like we saw in the movie. There won’t be one World Wide Web, but a dozen or even more national or regional Webs to represent diametrically opposed views and values. There’s a thin line between decentralization and the “balkanization” of the internet. Think about it.

Introduction Security - the most pressing concern that every single country of the world faces in current times. But the world we live in is not as simple as it used to be back in the day. It is more divided than ever before. With conflicts like the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the Palestinian crisis, and the trade war between two industrial and technological giants of the globe, how can the global community come together to fight the prevailing challenges of the 21st century? Must there be losers in order to have new winners on the global screen? Can we achieve a positive-sum goal in the current situation? And how will the important stakeholders of global security come together in such a radicalized environment? The 60th Munich Security Conference (MSC) held from 16th February to 18th February 2024 tried to address all these questions and much more. Here’s what went on in MSC 2024! Key Speakers It was a star-studded event; if we pretend the world leaders to be stars for a while. Global leaders from around 50 countries gathered to put forward a collective policy to counter the newer challenges to the world. Some of the prominent figures included the following. Antonio Guterres, UN Secretary-General Kamala Harris, US Vice President Jens Stoltenberg, NATO Secretary General Wang Yi, China’s Foreign Minister Antony Blinken, US Secretary of State Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Ukrainian President David Cameroon, UK’s Foreign Secretary Olaf Scholz, German Chancellor Josep Borrell, Foreign Policy Chief of the European Union John Kerry, US President’s Special Envoy on Climate Change Apart from these, Israel’s President Isaac Herzog and Palestinian Prime Minister Muhammad Shtayyeh were also among the key speakers. Agenda The agenda of the Munich Security Conference 2024 included dialogue and discussions on a wide array of topics. These topics are of great importance, especially in the context of recent global and regional developments. The major talking points of the MSC 2024 were as follows. - Supply chain dependencies, nuclear security of Europe, the role of the US in the global world, an international order that serves everyone, protection of humanitarian law, fight against disinformation, water security, corruption, climate finance, global refugee crisis, the age and race of AI, food & economic security, tech governance, and recovery plan for Ukraine were the topics discussed on the opening day of the MSC 2024. Day 1: Global Security Challenges - Cybersecurity in current times, Germany’s position in the current world, Ukraine and transatlantic security going forward, neutrality, a collectively defended Europe, protection of global commons, China in the current global order, climate diplomacy, increase the shared opportunities, potential reforms in the UN Security Council, and advantages of climate diplomacy were debated on in the first half of day 2. Day 2 (Part I): International Order - Collective strategic efforts to counter crises, Indo-Pacific security, the war in Sudan, ensuring Ukraine’s victory against Russia, stabilization of the Sahel, Russia’s future, Red Sea, Arctic defense, Middle East, Palestine, Israel, and stability, Balkan states, and civil resistances in different areas of the world were the highlight topics from second half day 2 of the Munich Security Conference 2024. Day 2 (Part II): Regional Conflicts & Crises - The EU’s partnership with its partners, the possibility of peace between Israel and Palestine, the expansion of the European Union, underscoring the EU’s geopolitical plan, and the future of geopolitics were the topics on the last day’s agenda followed by closing remarks by the Chairman of the Munich Security Conference. Day 3: Europe in the World Current Global Security Trends: A Lose-Lose Situation The end of the Cold War was one of the crucial turning points in history. Countries inclined towards democracy since the Marxism-Leninism ideology of the Soviet Union had failed. The proverbial “pie” increased exponentially all across the globe because of a rule-based world order, ushering in an era of prosperity. This new world order promised to be the solution to all of the problems that the Global South was facing at the time. Undelivered Promises “Without genuine solidarity, there can never be real trust.” (Subrahmanyam Jaishankar - Indian External Affairs Minister) It’s been more than three decades since the world adopted a new order by and large, but the issues of the developing world have only increased. The Global South believes that the new world order could not deliver what it had promised, and the share of the “pie” has remained the same, if not decreased, for the underdeveloped world. The United States is blamed to be creating hindrances for countries like China - which have greatly benefited from the liberal economic order - to achieve their goals. Relative-Gains Thinking Among Global North and South The debate becomes interesting because the Global North is also dissatisfied with its current share of the pie, and many people in the believe that the obvious rise of and other such economies in the coming decade will stifle growth in their own countries. G7 China This never-ending cycle has come into being because of a number of factors, such as rising global conflicts, stagnation in the financial growth of people, and the relative comparison of success among different global stalwarts. The result is a situation that is slowly becoming visible in many global and regional policies. lose-lose Zero-Sum Beliefs in Russia-Ukraine Conflict The relative-gains thinking has resulted in many countries falsely believing that other nations prosper only by using their share of the This has pushed such countries toward autocratic tendencies and a conflictual mindset because they have one goal now: to widen their sphere of influence as much as they can. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is an apt example in this regard. pie. Vlodymyr Zelenskyy said, “Ukraine has already shattered myths.” The two-year-long war has completely changed the regional dynamics. Although the war has stayed longer than Russia initially thought, Ukraine might completely lose its sovereignty and territory to Russia, while Europe will have to spend extra on its defense besides giving financial support to Ukraine. All is not well in Russia itself either, as the population is facing issues like rising inflation and an increased crackdown on anti-government activists. Indo-Pacific Region: The Next Hotspot! The highly important Indo-Pacific region seems to be the next location of a global conflict with far-reaching consequences. Now, you must be wondering why the region is so important. Well, this is because the Indo-Pacific region sees 60 percent of maritime trade pass through it. With China gradually trying to increase its military presence in regional waters, many East Asian countries are going into the US camp, both financially and security-wise. However, the highly integrated global trade system means everyone, including China itself, will only lose if the Indo-Pacific becomes the region that sees an escalation in the power rivalry. The Unstable Middle East Just when the Middle East region had started showing some stability with many important regional countries starting or restoring diplomatic and economic relations with Israel, Hamas’s attack on Israel last October pushed the era back to unrest. It is pertinent to mention here that civilians are the biggest losers in this conflict, with scores of injuries and casualties in Gaza and the complete destruction of the infrastructure. The fire of this conflict has reached Tehran, and Iran has also become active through its proxies. The EU’s foreign affairs chief, Josep Borrell, expressed his concerns about Israel’s strategy in the ongoing conflict and raised his voice in favor of a two-state solution. He said, "Hamas is an idea, and you don't kill an idea" The Shaky Sahel Recent developments in the African Sahel have meant the return of authoritarian and autocratic regimes in the region. Many countries, including Niger and Mali, have seen the overthrow of democratic governments by military juntas. This has posed a serious problem for the US and Europe, as their democratic agenda for the region has come to a halt. But the local population is facing the lose-lose situation the most. And it was because of this that Bola Tinubu, Nigerian President and Chairman of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) said last year, “We will not allow coup after coup in West Africa again.” Receding Globalization The world has reaped great rewards from its economic and technological interconnectedness and interdependence. But, mutually beneficial policies are no longer the preference for many countries as self-reliance has come to the fore. The recent World Economic Situation and Prospects report predicts that the global GDP growth is set to decelerate to 2.4% in 2024 from 2.7% in 2023. To highlight the importance of globalization, China’s foreign minister, Wang Yi said, "The world economy is like a big ocean that cannot be cut into isolated lakes” These changing dynamics might suit the rich and powerful countries, but the low-income nations will have to pay a lot if the fragmentation of the global economy continues. Threatened Global Climate Policy Countries are increasingly moving towards serving their national interests at all costs. They are doing so at the cost of global interests, like collective efforts towards curbing the effects of climate change. Global issues like the US-China trade war and disagreements over climate financing are posing a serious threat to global climate policy. The world is heating up, both literally and figuratively. Artificial Intelligence & Cyber Warfare Everyone is in the race to win technological warfare. This has become evident in the increasing cases of cyber warfare. In recent years, there has been an increase in cyber attacks, which have become a serious challenge for many countries. Artificial Intelligence has only made the competition more fierce. According to Forbes, the AI industry is expected to be at the That is a staggering increase from its market size in 2022. $407 billion mark by 2027. $320 billion Moreover, the Tom & Jerry race between China and the US continues. Both countries want to surpass each other in the semiconductor industry. This could result in a zero-sum game for both countries as well as many other countries in the world. This grave situation warrants that artificial intelligence must have some checks and balances put on it before it is too late. Key Takeaways from MSC 2024 - A Global Order That Benefits All The rule-based international order is in desperate need of change. However, the global community has all its efforts focused on policies and moves that are creating further cracks in the liberal economic order. The need of the hour is to get out of the vicious cycle of relative-gain thinking and mold policies in such a way that the end result is the formulation and implementation of positive-sum policies. However, the road ahead is not easy and needs a concentrated global and regional effort to move from a lose-lose situation to a win-win situation for everyone. To conclude the whole debate in the words of Kamala Harris, the U.S. Vice President, `“Isolation is not insulation.”`

After years of supporting Mozilla financially and spreading messages with my peers, I returned as an active contributor. I defined a 4-week sprint for myself that started on November 22th and finished on my birthday, December 22th. My goals were: 1: To contribute to the localization every day, including weekends. In the beginning, it was hard for me to build a habit of using the little free time I had to contribute to the L1on instead of watching a short documentary or something funnier. After the third day, I nailed it. It helped that I added a reminder for myself in my work calendar and that my current employer supported me with this mission. 2: To ensure that Thunderbird is 100% localized in Bulgarian (it was around 67% at that mark) Now it's a 100%. I could also contribute with a few strings to the Turkish and Czech translations. The next step is to ensure that the translated content makes sense to the end consumer. That's the goal of my next sprint. 3: To ensure that Firefox Focus for Android and IoS and the Facebook Container will also reach 100% localization. It's 100% now. I don't know how many people use it in Bulgaria, but if they want to, it's translated entirely. That was a concise task, thanks to the efforts of the other translators in the past. I translated the delta between January and November 4: To reconnect with the local and international community to contribute more to the project. This is where I need to invest more. I was active in the past, traveling and talking about Mozilla at local and international events and actively building the Bulgarian and Balkan communities. After that, I gave up for reasons I don't want to comment on now, partially because of my personality and ego. I've lost a lot of great friends and peers from Mozilla. I am trying to reconnect with them now. 5: To find another way to help Thunderbird apart from localization and donations. I am now active in the Thunderbird support forum and validating bugs under Linux in Bugzilla for Beta and Daily versions. I would invest some time there as well into my next sprint. Be creative, be brave, and contribute to the open source as you can with your time, knowledge, resources, or good intentions. Also published . here

As climate change plays havoc with weather forecasting across the globe, one company's long-term goal is to save thousands of lives by ensuring early and timely warnings of these severe weather events are reaching people across the globe. Rainbow Weather’s Mission Using artificial intelligence, is on a mission to provide meteorological forecasts at this crucial time when severe weather events cause billions of dollars in damages each year, as reported in USA Today. Rainbow Weather The planet was plagued by $42 billion worth of weather disasters in 2022 alone, and the all-time total damage wrought by weather disasters sits at $360 billion, with 39% of that total being insured damages, according to insurance broker Gallagher Re in its annual report. The global Weather Forecasts market was valued at $2.8 billion in 2022 and is projected to reach $4.6 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 7.3% according to Stats Market Research. The World Meteorological Organization reports that "just 24 hours’ notice prior to an impending weather hazard can cut the ensuing damage by 30 percent, calling early warnings the “low-hanging fruit” of climate change adaptation because of their tenfold return on investment. " That is why investors have ploughed almost $1.5 million of funding into Rainbow Weather to date, to take on more established apps and forecasters who often fall short of accurate forecasts. As reported in Vox.com, Apple’s weather app is ‘pretty much useless’ as it cannot distinguish between ‘light rain’ and ‘rain’, that the percentages it spits out feel ‘bogus’, and to never trust it when it tells you what time the rain will stop. Apple bought the weather forecasting app Dark Sky three years ago, and it seems that the tech giant’s investment is not paying off yet. However, investment in Rainbow Weather is paying off. The first round included private investors as well as Venture Capitalist firms Kolos Ventures, Verras Capital, and Melnichek Investments. Furthermore, the company which trades as Rainbow Meteo Technologies and is based in Poland, has had further financial backing from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development. What sets Rainbow Weather apart from Apple and other weather apps is its advanced AI modeling which delivers superior weather predictions based on a wide range of data sources (from satellites and meteorology stations to user reports and shared barometer data), beating the competition in both speed and precision. According to the company's internal analysis, Rainbow Weather has already achieved 3.5 percentage points of rain prediction precision over Apple Weather in the US (where Apple has the best coverage) and 9.5 percentage points over AccuWeather worldwide. Precision was calculated based on the share of rain accurately predicted within a 30-minute forecast window. To put these numbers into perspective, that means for every million weather app users, 35,000 to 95,000 more people will get correctly notified about an upcoming shower if they opt for Rainbow Weather. Words From the CEO Rainbow Weather CEO Alexander Matveenko shares the story of how the company was born: "I was swimming in Sri Lanka when suddenly it began to rain quite heavily. The downpour started to overwhelm me, and I wasn't sure I was going to make it to the shore. This experience made me realize how critical timely weather warnings can be. My co-founder Yuri Melnichek had a story of his own. He almost had his passport destroyed while on a hike when all weather apps failed to predict a sudden rain. After discussing both of these incidents we decided to create a new weather forecast tech based on machine learning algorithms that would be able to better predict highly variable local weather events." Their first product on the market is the mobile app for iOS and Android which provides super-accurate hyperlocal forecasts notifying users about upcoming rain and snowfalls, storms and hurricanes, and their movements on the map. The app is picking up steam with half a million downloads and great reviews from both users and the press. However, the most stellar review comes from Tatsiana Khakhelka, Associate for SME Finance & Development at the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development: “The EBRD’s Star Venture program targets promising start-ups to unleash their full potential. The EBRD supports them with world-class business advice and access to finance to strengthen their performance and accelerate their life cycle. Star Venture assigns the start-ups advisory projects tailored to their specific competencies and needs. Across 23 countries, Star Venture has nurtured 550+ early-stage companies, spanning diverse regions from Eastern Europe to the Western Balkans. One of these rising stars is Rainbow Meteo Technologies. After a rigorous selection process, this start-up company was shortlisted as a finalist in the EBRD’s Star Venture program supported by the European Union, and the Bank continues to provide advisory assistance. I am personally inspired by Rainbow’s product and the team’s professionalism and look forward to their future endeavors.” Disclaimer: Parts of this article have previously appeared on other news media platforms Also published here
