Why mention of Russian trolls and white supremacist groups as being fascist and no mention of: Antifa (ironically supposed to be anti-fascist, but is anything but), anti-Israel/anti-semitic users, including in the US government, and th

It's not about 'stealing data'. It's the vague regulations and overreach by the EU that will stop companies and investors from entering the EU market. "If so, then we will be very happy about it and someone else wi

Companies are already blocking IP addresses from the EU due to the new GDPR regulations. As restrictions and laws increase (which seems to be happening already), it will make sense to just block access rather than deal with draconian regul

It may have worked very well. But it will mean that because of these regulations, there will be less investment in any companies under the EU from outside companies. Eventually, the EU will have its own companies and separated Internet. Is

In the article, someone mentions that a union between managers would have solved the issue. Why? You can't shift difficult decisions to the union, just because you don't want to deal with the uncomfortable decision of firing some

My issue with a single-payer system in the US is that it won't get rid of the middleman. You are essentially replacing a bunch of insurance companies with one insurance company, which is the government. Hospitals can now charge whatev

They only support it because they feel like they will never be wealthy and won't have to pay the tax increases. This is also most people that I know that support radical changes to the current system which involve government-run progr

I've used SQL in every job/contract I've had in the last 10 years in different flavors. It's definitely a marketable skill.
