The shame is on the whole system, not just on former Gov. Perry. You see, here in the US, being "tough on crime" improves your odds of getting elected, or of keeping your position, if you're already elected.

I was aware of that case when it was unfolding, but did not follow it until the end. Surprised that they convicted and executed the guy. Sad case, but how many of those have taken place in Texas, or in the US as a whole?

Somethings the main qualification of some so-called experts is a certification from a 6-hour or 6-week class. From then on, they are eligible to testify as an expert in serious criminal cases.

Nope, but by the end of the day, the stock is trading lower than it started.

He wasn't using orchestration, but said Docker Swarm is terrible. How did he come to that conclusion. For the record, orchestration in Docker (1.12.x) is actually quite good. Its built-in service discovery and mesh networking make setu

The author made some really good points, but CoreOS is made by Docker for Docker is not one of them. CoreOS is the company behind a competing container tech called rkt (rocket) and CoreOS Linux.

So Russia uses contractors (mercenaries) in Syria. They're late to the game, because we've been using them in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and Syria and God knows where else. The most prominent private company responsible for most of

What you wrote about Obama is actually correct. True, Obama came in with a set of foreign policy objectives that were not inline with standing US foreign policy. So he lost that battle. He was very reluctant to involve the military, especia

The US support of different groups has been overplayed. The US efforts were rather small and "in bed with AQ" is just spouting new headlines. The US tired to build a fraction, but failed, they have largely abandoned the effort.

I'll like to know that too. Geopolitics is my thing, but haven't found a non-partisan site to engage.

The protests were peaceful, eh? So the govt forces that were killed during those "peaceful" protests shot themselves.

Ambassadors are not supposed to meddle in the affairs of the country they're serving in, but when was the last time that stopped us from doing what we want? Even our elected officials are not supposed to do that, but who's gonna t

That's the official (US) narrative, and it's the real absurdity here. You should find out how those "peaceful protests" started, and the activities of the US ambassador to Syria just before the protests broke out. It&#x2

It's easy to predict a war long after it has started. It's like predicting WW II in 1942. The Syrian war, which we have a heavy hand in - before and after it began, started in 2011. That article was written in 2013. And did you ch

But that war had nothing to do with diversity. It was, in a sense, one of our proxy wars, when Saddam was our bastard.

The bloodshed in Iran and Iraq are shining examples of the extremes of what can happen. That leaves me scratching my head. I know that Iraq is a mess, but how is that because of diversity, or lack of it? And about Iran. There's blood

Nope, a dude in ops, who was usually stoned, would log in, add all the necessary protections and even redeploy the whole stack if he had to. No griping. That made me laugh. The guy in charge of securing a production server is usually ston

When we (US) or our allies do it, it's not terrorism. That's a word we reserve for the other guys, the ones we don't like.

Yep, it worked out really well for Israel, because all of the Irgun gangs became statesmen or respected military leaders.
