The same reason that the maker of the machine itself, the husband, isn't mentioned in the title -- doesn't fit the narrative. Who'd ever want to hear about a couple and a friend starting a company? "Two Women" will

You're simply wrong. The US's economy was doing _great_ under the previous administration, and even top Democrats agreed that it was right to put strong pressure on China re: trade. https://thehill.com/policy&#x2F

What experiences with which government would lead you to believe that bureaucrats -- most of whom have never run a company nor made a product -- would be capable of "managing the market"?

But, it would be funny cartoon vomit spewing out of a cute little avatar face. My fun in such a meeting would be ridiculing the silly tech. I bet it'll be a hit, nonetheless.

Dan Bricklin also published "Dan Bricklin's Demo Program" in the 1980s, which my team at IBM used quite a bit. It was for creating functional mockups of DOS (pre Windows) applications. We found it very useful in producing a

I can't trust the authors when they start with a false premise: "The COVID-19 pandemic has suddenly raised the need for technological solutions capable to trace contacts of people and provide location-based analytics". No, it

I have several neighbors who have fled California (smart bastards), and they knew to make it a very clean break. First get an apartment in another state; move bank accounts to new "state" bank in new state; get a new driver'

I agree. I've been in this game 35 years, and it has been true most all that time. The examples in TFA are really all rather recent -- and frankly quite stupid (IMHO). Yak shaving is a thin reference to Ren and Stimpy, but requires

It's 20 years, 100s of billions of dollars, and many thousands of lives -- all wasted. The government that was setup (and then propped up) to replace the Taliban is gone, and replaced again by the Taliban: 0 net gain. All those right

It sounds like there really isn't anything to be concerned about then. "If California stopped growing alfalfa...we could probably house 20-30M more people". I'm very happy to stop growing crops in the desert, and agree

So 100% of reservoir loss is due to evaporation? In the analogy, filling the glasses before EBMUD turns the water off is like filling a reservoir during (even brief) rainy seasons.

"Our reservoirs are empty. Why would another reservoir help up?" A serious question? More water in reserve = more water in reserve. If you fill 4 glasses with water now, and then then EBMUD turns the water off for the rest of th

These droughts were anticipated, but here in California preparing for climate change means preaching at others, and setting up a carbon exchange. Not a single new reservoir has been built since 1979. It's impossible to take Californi

The Chinese Communist Party is prepared to recognize the Taliban if (when) they overtake the government.[1][2] This is a truly historic fuck-up. It's not about it being right to withdraw (it is), but how it's done. We've wa

The Southern Poverty Law Center is a sadly similar story. They're downright extreme nowadays.

Given the primary example used on the kids, the 2016 election, this seems more about instilling bias under the name "news literacy". Are they going to do a section studying the "coverage" of hunter biden's laptop?

Yes. And, for women the insanity is mind-blowing. Now, being a "woman" is a state of mind and simply a matter of choice -- i.e. it's a meaningless "construct". We spent decades _rightfully_ learning to recognize
