I think that’s the same reason why I subscribe to the conspiracy theory that the US military opposes both universal healthcare and free of cost college and university education. I think overall businesses don’t care enough about higher cost

The tragedy of New York, in my opinion. Upstate has such an outsize political influence compared to New York and surrounding areas. It makes no sense. What's sad is we have bought into the romanticism of the rural. We don't even c

Makes sense. 1. If someone works at a company, they can sign up on our website as a support agent. 2. We will only list companies with which we have an authenticated contact, maybe require people to verify they got our authentication token

My guess is it is a self fulfilling prophecy. If a lot of people have older devices, application developers have to support the older API levels. For example, a store called Safeway decided to cut out an older version of Android. However, t
