I am uneasy about databases being used in general how they are today. Nobody writes SQL to read and write records directly. it's all pumped through business logic. Then you write a stored procedure to update x-on-y and the business log

"law" and those who pratice "law" have managed to place itself largly in a monopoly. This is a huge drain on the economy. Law is expensive and irrational.

I worked at a company that depended heavily on one of the major 4 Indian suppliers. Their employees were treated like garbage. they would bring them here for months at a time. It was like indentured servitude. they lived in a bunk house and

How do you think right-to-repair intersects with cars? An obvious thing may be to say the software must be published or the spec released, but we've had computers in cars since the 80s. It seems like a tall task but people can and do r

the question is why should a legal fiction defy the natural liability. It is perhaps an example of 'common law' versus 'civil law'. A judge may find there is no personal responsibility of the shareholders for some crime,

Why would you price your hardware so low? if this is as good as a customer would imagine, pricing should start around $20,000.
