I can find 100 crackpot scientists as easily as I can find 100 crackpot doctors or mathematicians. Instead of appeals to authority, why can't we work with the facts and evidence that we have already (those overwhelmingly disproving the

Glad to see the attempt to split the contract up by appealing for a multi-platform approach failed. A multi-platform approach destroys most of the cloud's value proposition in the name of avoiding vendor lock-in. At that point you&#x27

It's worth noting that Russia does have the .рф TLD ("RF" for Russian Federation) in addition to .ru. Considering how ubiquitous Latin keyboards are I'm OK with countries with non-Latin character sets getting a Latin equ

I totally agree, and just because something is promoted strongly by Russia doesn't mean it's false, it just highlights the importance of reading a variety of different sources and applying your own critical thinking to find the tr

They definitely pick up a lot of Russian talking points (see their virulent skepticism over the Skripal attack), but they serve as a very useful counterbalance to CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, et al. I shudder at whatever Orwellian hellscape we&#x2

At 7km/s, it would take around 20 minutes for an ICBM fired from the US to reach Moscow. It takes about 3 minutes for an intermediate range missile to travel from Poland to Moscow. So yes, there is a huge advantage to pursuing intermed
