What's odd too is that Washington State passed a net neutrality law and I don't see any FCC response to block it. So why only California? https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/kzkx83/which-stat.

Biggest issue I continuously encounter with new engineers is reinventing the mistakes of the past due not understanding the history of engineering and in turn what criteria we measure the quality of a decision on. Does this design take us c

The part that always surprised me about the blitz is only 28k killed and 25k wounded. How is that even possible? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Blitz > Civilian casualties on London throughout the Blitz amounted

Interesting, it just seems hard to believe the UAE with a population of little more than Austria would have that many travelers.
