This from an earlier post made me laugh: It’s important for the brand to look and feel human. We’re a tech company. Tech is the opposite of human, so we have to make the brand human. Humans attract humans. I’ve got some human ideas. What i

In my jumbled mess of thoughts this is a rough list of priorities that should be addressed at before democracy can work in a "more perfect way" and can't be misused by the power-hungry elites or the disgruntled masses led by

I love this format. Just a photographer and a few brief observations is so much more in touch with the truth than multi-thousand word editorials weaving anonymous sources, personal opinions, outside influences and straight up lies.

Well here they're also forcing innocent athletes to be barred from a competition because of corruption within the only athletics organization available to them. An Olympic season is one of maybe 3 or 4 that some of these athletes have

Just make doping legal. Everyone does it with varying levels of sophistication. Russians got caught this time. EDIT: this post is more about me playing devil's advocate then my actual opinion. Olympics has become more about being the b

This line killed me: As a citizen of the world, I rarely get lonely. Everywhere I go, I meet such diverse groups of people. In hostels, I’ve shared beers with friendly British and Australian twenty-somethings. In hotels, I’ve sipped wine w

then perhaps the reasonable thing to conclude is that it is not an act that somebody should go to jail for. I mean, that's the only thing I can conclude. If that's the only thing you can conclude than you're choosing

If the OP meant that Hillary being a democrat is somehow uniquely protected from any prosecution then I agree that it is the other side of the coin of polarization of political opinion that divides the ordinary citizens and makes them weake

When you're actively orchestrating illegal coups, or using the American soldiers as guns for hire in order to curry favor from various billionaires and autocrats for personal gain or to shape the world according to your own vision of h

Is this the best defense available? Republicans do it too so let's just look the other way. I understand somebody being paid by the Democratic party or one of Hillary's SuperPACs to try to push this argument, but for a regular cit

Thanks for clearing that up. US press seems curiously absent from even covering this story. As per @mathewi the only US media companies on the #panamapapers team are Miami Herald, Univision, Fusion and McLatchy. I guess we'll see how a

A father is certainly a closer connection than childhood friend or "close associate" whatever that means.

Hilarious that BBC, a broadcaster paid for by British tax payers, has a subheading in that article titled "Russian connection" describing various dealings of Russian characters who are "close associates" of Putin and an

I can't say I disagree with anything you've said there. I believe a lot of foreign policy also consists of trying to salvage or redirect the previous administrations' policies no matter how disastrous they've proven thus

Here's a great overview of the how and a complete absence of the why which is more central to "success in the middle east". But I also understand why there would be no political will for US deciders to start asking themselves

Been with Android since forever, but the battle for security that Apple has recently been fighting on behalf of their customers is enough to make me want to start considering iOS devices in the future.

That's a great story with some valuable lessons learned, but I can't help but wonder how this forms the basis of someone's driving passion straight out of college: "Our mission was connecting millennials with smart, thou

It's fun to search for "Syria" then go the second last page and read a curious e-mail from Sept. 2009 about "the first known case of a successful social media campaign in Syria".. Then a few pages later, June 2010 -
