This isn't a business or political issue for them. See the response from the CEO in this discussion. They have employees on the ground in Ukraine who's lives are in danger right now. Given that, I understand why they are not that

When I was younger I never understood why parents would be against schools teaching about gender, sexuality, etc. Now that I: 1) Have children of my own, and, 2) See which people from my high school went on to become teachers, I get it. The

I use a programmable keyboard with thumb keys, similar to the ergodox. I have escape set to one of the thumb keys so that it's no more work than hitting "space".

What you're forgetting here is that there is a clear precedent for what I'm suggesting. People forget this, but in WWI, the British upper classes actually lost children at a higher rate to the war than those in lower classes. Th

I think the other thing Putin is betting on, is that after 20 years of war in Iraq and Afghanistan, the American public is not going to support another significant foreign war. Additionally one important thing that came out of the Trump pre

This is very true. I lived in a fairly high-crime city for a while. The police never really investigated burglaries or car thefts because of a lack of resources. But man, leave your car parked on the street for a couple of minutes after the

It may not feel like it now, but you did the right thing in your 20's. Those experiences you had and the memories that go with them will last you a lifetime, and you'll only appreciate them more, the older you get. You still have

It's got more than half a chance. There's an old joke in conservative circles that Fox News' ratings are so high because they found an untapped niche market, "Half the country".

It really isn't hyperbole. Ask 10 random CTO's about Oracle, and the majority will tell you they're looking for offramps. It's not just a matter of Oracle being greedy, it's that they are also bullying and difficult
