Why did the cloud provider not revoke his access once his account was expired? Is not the cloud provider also guilty here?

I disagree. The dirty rich will horde tens and even hundreds of apartments (or acres upon acres of land) in strategic places (with insider knowledge) and then with lobbying of various kinds make these places more and more desirable by bring

Try telling that thing about Haskell to actual enterprise developers. The lazy evaluation puts even experienced veterans off the track when it comes to profiling/speak-leaks/debugging. Haskell support is lousy for debugging and pr

I agree. Sadly these days, performing well is almost invariably defined in terms of "putting up numbers". The issue of treatment of employees comes far later (and far meeker) than the issue of making profit for the shareholders.
