You have no idea how long the tail of legacy MR-based daily stat aggregation workflows is in BigCorps. The batch daily log processor jobs will last longer than Fortran. Longer than Cobol. Longer than earth itself.

Crazy that people fixate on the Dark Forest part of the books. I had nightmares for weeks about the dual-vector foil.

The Shard is the 47th largest building in the world. It's only notable in the absence of any other significant buildings in a nominally world-class city.

Italy, Sweden and Turkey are paying their way. They are all military pilots. They are just paying for seats with Axiom directly rather than bartering for seats with NASA.

Universities spend an absurd amount of money on ADA compliance. The University where my father teaches tore down an office building mostly because it was too difficult to get an ADA-compliant elevator installed.

Why are they obligated to answer? The allegations are legal soup anyway. The NLRB made up on the spot that criticism of the CEO was protected speech. There's nothing to say other than "you just made up that rule".
