Go ahead, if you want to risk the board (Congress) and the CEO (President) shutting down the "corporation" when they can't agree on a budget. Or have your work twisted to support a lie.

Don't use free corporate services for shit you care about. Or think you may care about later. Don't use any service that suffers from a single point of control. How much anguish when Facebook inevitably either goes away or pivots

Our laws will never catch up; those devices watch lawmakers too. I can imagine a late afternoon meeting in a lawmaker's office. The lobbyist shows the lawmaker almost his entire day, to demonstrate the "benefit" to the lawmak

All of the listed apps have a subset of vim's functions. So does vi. You use the listed apps because you wish you were in vim, sort of. When you log in to a strange or bare system and need to edit, you wish you had vim. But at least

Some of the mitigations for this high tech security system are hilarious. Park a less desirable car in front of the target car.

The "advisor" to the effort is doing interesting work on nano-grids, timely because of the PG&E shutoffs. > We had the very generous help of Bruce Nordman, who was involved in the original IEEE 1621 standard. http:/&#

Why are "we" still writing games in programming languages? It's like if Gone With The Wind was done in stop motion.
