Democrats are the least skeptical about fiat, so hey, why not denounce it.

Same experience here. I cut over a whole bunch of instances to Graviton a while back and it "just worked" for a lot of our workloads. Test it first, obv. Another easy cost-savings switch is telling Terraform to create EC2 root vol

The Population Bomb was published 54 years ago and it's still wrong, guys. They even have Ehrlich on their list of patrons. Lol.

Surgery and drugs definitely feel like a Plan C or D. There are subconscious and cultural aspects to food that those don't address. For one thing, in a lot of cases, the worst food to eat is also the cheapest to buy and the easiest to

What’s the point of having a unipolar corporatist oligarchy and staging regional border disputes if you can’t profit from it?

Or maybe his social skills are just fine and it's the corporations he's worked for that are pathological.

This is my experience. I've come around to thinking it's a "trough of disillusionment" thing combined with the nature of hierarchical organizations. Try reading "Developer Hegemony" by Erik Dietrich. I'm n

Nobody has ever had any idea how to make Twitter "work."

If by country you mean the people who live there, yes. If you mean whatever oligarchy is nominally in charge, well, the bankers can make sure they’re taken care of as long as the interest payments keep rolling in.

There will always be government careers for those people to fall back on.

I agree. It is absolutely in the interest of the American government to have Ukrainians and Russians die, preferably through the use of American weapons. The fact that America and NATO have been supporting the war rather than pursuing peace

What other country were the weapons provided by the Biden and Trump arms deals meant to be aimed at?

I have far more contempt for the USA running proxy wars and meddling in border and ethnic disputes halfway across the world than I do for the principals involved in those border disputes. When ethnic Russians in eastern Ukraine decided they

Jesus Christ. Every US president since the end of the cold war has authorized eastward expansion of NATO, an alliance whose enemy no longer exists. The current president was brokering arms deals with Ukraine. The previous president was deli

That both are abhorrent but we wouldn’t be where we are today if NATO hadn’t been extending its membership eastwards since the end of the cold war and running arms deals with countries on Russia’s border.

Funny thing is that the tables WERE turned, by NATO.

Shitty reporting that supports your intelligence agency's agenda is pretty straight-forward fake news.

Culture may be opposed to it, but Federal policy is very much in favor of undocumented immigration.

Universities like the cheap foreign research labor. Foreign students depress wages for American ones. Americans opt out and choose a different career. Corruption all the way down, friends.
