Isn't that "88" a little too on-point?

Anything that prevents Peter Thiel from doing what he wants must be evil.

Even if true, it would only be for one of the narrowest possible definitions of "crime". What can Flock do about mail fraud? About domestic violence? About wage theft? About falsified studies that lead to substances being misclass

In 2009 I made a note that Excel's main date parsing function was over 1000 lines of code -- not including helpers.

Similarly, buildings 40 and 41 were (at least pre-remodel) roughly mirror images of each other. Roughly a week after moving from 41 to 40 -- long enough to start navigating based on "caveman memory" but not long enough to override

In the United States, anti-nuclear activism predates both Chernobyl and Three Mile Island. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clamshell_Alliance and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abalone_Alliance f

The first comment asks the important question: Why, "despite all of this prosperity, do so many Americans still feel angry, disillusioned and frankly, even cheated"? One thing which can't be captured by these numbers (no matt

I predict they'll argue that because he lived in Mexico from ages 1 to 16 that he effectively relinquished citizenship. Which is BS, of course, but I'm reminded of the Sartre quote "Never believe that anti-Semites are complet

FWIW, the approach described here is what services like Databricks, Snowflake and BigQuery are already doing. It's also an implicit reminder that while PostgreSQL is both great and ubiquitous, its single-stream TCP wire protocol is a b
