That 2014 article really doesn’t age well, and it’s ahistorical to claim that there wasn’t and isn’t broad support for a more liberal regime in Ukraine. Regardless of how decimated the Ukrainian population was while under Russian control, a

If you are in the LA area the Museum of Jurassic Technology is worth visiting for, among other reasons, the room dedicated to the dogs of the Soviet space program. It features paintings and bios of 5 dogs who were involved in the space prog

Amazon's customer service to consumers is exceptional, but the service they give to their merchants is horrible and extremely incompetent.

Exactly. And WhatsApp was way ahead in striking preferred access deals with telecoms in the developing world. Facebook was able to piggyback on those, and develop it into the internet.org initiative to try to create a beachhead in these mar

If that rest time between sets is timed, it's a perfect opportunity to drill a second language in Anki, or Duolingo. Get your memory reps in between your lifting reps.

What if moving baseline energy from coal to LNG is a greater net reduction in carbon intensity per unit of energy than moving LNG to wind and solar? If you look at the stats on CO2 tonne equivalents from the DoE, the US has been way out fro

Norm recently did an interview with Caitlyn Jenner on his YouTube channel [1]. I found his candor and willingness to see humour in the situation was actually more respectful than the typical white-gloves approach, and it lead to some pretty
