There have been smoke-filled blow-hards in academia for generations, such as Hegel, whose entire opus consisted of deliberately nonsensical word salad, and whose careers in income depended entirely on confusing people in such a way as to se

There are plenty of old business systems which are critical, can't be removed or turned off, and use LISP, COBOL, etc. Meanwhile, nothing important uses Clojure or other trendy flash-in-the-pan language. If you want an interesting pr

Tip: All matter, 100% of it, every last molecule, is biodegradable. The only differences are the time it takes, and the damage caused to other things while it degrades. From this you can figure out that the recycling industry operates by ca

The Microsoft application (which was granted) was only in relation to online games, messaging services related to such games, and so on, as described in the trademark application. It's not a universal "We own the letter x!"

Ok, so if one is guilty of transmitting or carrying illegal content merely through providing the medium of transmission, wouldn't that mean the ISPs involved, and the owners of the telephone cables, are just as guilty? Wouldn't a

Equity is nonsense. Leftism (as demonstrated by California) is a race to the bottom. But life is competition to reach the top. Your kids are competing with others. Available resources are finite, population is increasing, therefore compe

AlmaLinux uses "release codenames" such as "Stone Smilodon". Why? What is the point of adding English (or other) release labels in addition to the sequential numeric values? It served as advertising for Apple and Googl

The issue here is the nature of contracts. A written dcoument signed by all parties is not (necessarily) a contract. It is evidence of a contract. Any agreement of exchange of goods and services may be a contract, whether it's an em

SEO is a dirty, low-down, snake-oil sales pitch. Back in the dark ages (happy days), SEO was actually a real thing. You would use the HTML meta description, keywords, etc, to set up things which would actually be used by search engines to
