One thing SF and NY have in common are those luggage stores. I’ve always assumed they’re a multi-layer front: the obvious scam is selling baggage stolen off the carousel, but the deeper scam is that couriers can walk in pretending to be a c

It’s not like the first company is just a pile of cash. He would have to sell his shares to free up liquidity.

Neither Windows 3.1 nor Windows 95 were mere shells atop DOS. As early Windows 2.0 in 386 Enhanced Mode (Win/386), it was a virtual machine manager that took complete control of the machine and ran the Windows GUI and DOS in separate V

My CS degree was a software engineering degree in a trench coat. I went back to give a guest lecture a decade later and the curriculum had changed to be more theory-focused. (I am quite happy to have gotten the software engineering educatio

The Supreme Court doesn’t have the power or the need to rewrite the form. Either the Executive rewrites the form to comply with this ruling, Congress passes a law ordering the Executive to rewrite the form, or someone answers the form truth
