That's chump change, I once saw a $22 million hard drive. I held it in my hands, and even plugged it in to grab data off it. And it wasn't even FOUO, it was fully unclassified.

The New Yorker has a short overview[1]. The ACLU has a more complete list[2]. The American Prospect and Cato Institute have some articles if you search around, but I'm not a huge fan of their work. 1: https://www.newyorker.c

Or we could go with a real classic from Ye Olde Days: The Babylonian calendar[1]. A visual explanation is here [2]. I rather like that they use the physical properties of a pendulum to link length and time. 1: https://en.wikipedi

Caveat Lector: I'm east coast, so YMMV. Everything I've heard suggests there's a lot of decisions that are waiting on financial reporting for the quarter before the C-suites make their hiring decisions. MS is not just laying

We said that in the 90’s as well. Funny how people keep saying that year after year.

A lot of people have forgotten that iMessage was really the original killer app for the iPhone, as a side effect of how terrible US carriers were in the late 00's early 10's. You used to get a handful of txt messages a month, basi

If this is for an application you're building for browsers, use Leaflet (easy, but not as flexible) or OpenLayers (more flexible, more complicated). Tehre should be database libraries, though I've typically interacted with m datab

The endgame is regulation. The US Treasury launches a digital dollar and declares other USD-demoninated stablecoins as illegal, crushing the on and off ramps for most exchanges. Adoption by banks and brokerages removes the need for separate

The real problem with Welch is all his acolytes that spread his financial engineering to all kinds of other companies. It's like a metastasizing cancer.

The thing that really triggered an Uncanny Valley reaction for me was when animal faces appeared on the back of his head in some sections. Very unsettling.

Don't forget that they also had significant wear after only a few months. HP sucked so much money out of me with replacement batteries before I switched to an MBP in 2015. I haven't bought anything from HP since, and good riddance

The user base is the value. Every staffer on the shill, in the West Wing, on K street and Embassy row, and every non profit in D.C. is a subscriber. It’s the same reason Axel Springer bought Politico ostensibly for the Playbook newsletters,
