Why would it be in the union's interest to "divert blame from engineers"? Does it benefit financially from it? Do their members somehow benefit from it? Are you saying that Boeing wants to blame their Engineers and this is no

Why? Is this opinion rooted in the American hatred/demonization of unions? I come from a scandinavian country and it would be pretty normal for a union spokesman to comment on something like this. What would be his "political&quot

If it's any consolation; your parents must really have loved you since they kept you inside. I have three kids and I cherish every moment that I get to send them outside to play. But I live in a safe place and honestly, "random m

This is why I'm not buying a Google Home. You never know when Google might kill it, so it's basically lost money.

I tend to disagree. To me a good ORM totally (ok, not totally, but as totally as possible) abstracts the database away from your code. That's it's purpose. You just want to work with data. You want to fetch data, persist data and
