You’re supposed to be soft on a company during an outage? That’s exactly when you’re supposed to be considering alternatives! Similar peeve is when people say “don’t politicize this tragedy.” No, politics is how we decide to act, a tragedy

I normally find Stephen Wolfram insufferable (and he still is, in this article) but boy what a privilege it is to have a friend who will eulogize us like this. If I was an intellectual associate of Wolfram’s I’d ask him to write this articl

But given a hypothetical question like “What play should a football team run when they are on 2nd down and 3 with 2:19 in the 3rd Quarter while leading by 3 points” — wouldn’t a professional NFL coach’s opinion be given more credence than m

Government spend can't create a Google. Google depends on huge compensation packages to pampered engineers who get sushi for lunch and Segways for entertainment. A government facility of this nature would be political suicide.

Well if I listed a house for $60,000 instead of $600,000, but I owned $1 trillion of houses and was selling several hundred of them every single second of the day, then sure there isn't anything wrong with buying one for $60K.
