Well I feel that is a really really broad term to just ask for bias without really defining it but a couple off the top of my head are. 1. Someone from Utah is more likely to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints th

I felt the same way too until I realized why. The words you use are used to signal what group you belong to, it is a type of tribal identification. Certain words in the English lexicon are associated with racism and racists and so by using

I am evangelical about it simply because my camp of remote first is not the default and as a result I have to make sure I am always pushing against in office, if I don't evangelize it hard I risk it not coming to pass. I also feel that

I know this is another, back in my day story but I think it is relevant. Back in the early 2000's when I wasn't even 10 my parents sent me to spend a week or two with my grandparents who owned 40 acres up in the pacific northwest.

After following up on your sources, I surrender my position. It appears that the quest for truth has largely been abandoned in academia, and that integrity is a fools dream. We truly are as T.S Elot said the hollow men.

Couple of points you say "no other country" but Russia and China are definitely engaged in both. Quite frankly it's probably only a matter of time until India develops them as well. The fact of the matter is all our history,

Ya, what ridiculousness is that. For those curious $300/day is $109,500, that's the cost to just shaft the IT department on a new employee and pay the fee and you'll come out ahead financially.

Point of note, Teams wasn't built from scratch it was more like a remodel of skype which they already owned. If you start looking under the hood at various aspects of teams one will start to see Skype all over the place.
