You make some very sinophobic arguments in your posts. While I think it's right for the West to be cautious about China, I don't think wanting to cooperate with China makes a man a bad person. Your post also quotes a number of opi

Thank you for creating this! One request - please could you add "Scala" as a tech tag. I noticed at least one of your listed roles is for a Scala developer, but the tag is "Java"

If Rawlinson wanted to trash his rivals he could have done it in a creative and original way, which also emphasised the value of his own product. Like when Tesla released a video of the Cybertruck outperforming a Porsche 911. While towing a

I feel like I'm missing something here. As I understand it, the Starlink network has a number of ground stations, and an active inter-satellite "mesh," thanks to laser links, which would allow it to route around the loss of o
