I find that story really hard to believe. In a company the size of Amazon, I can't imagine a rogue employee running a tool that can willy-nilly wipe out customers' data without several levels of manager approval. Besides, what wo

Considering that fossil fuels "solve" the problem by literally dumping its waste onto the atmosphere, endangering the global ecosystem, and we're still merrily using them... I think it's a bit melodramatic to say microre

...and when China leapfrogs ahead of America's science, these people will blame the nebulous American globalist elites for "letting it happen." So much for the invisible hand of the market.

For example, you can create an instance x of class Foo, change its one method x.bar to do something completely different at runtime, and any existing code that calls Foo.bar will happily execute your version. Which means Python cannot opti

No. And we had a World War to prove that. And before anyone says "That's not what Japanese First means!", this is exactly what this particular party means when they say Japanese First. https://en.wikipedia.org&#x2

If you believe that any agreements with Trump provide certainty, I have a bridge to sell. The rest of the world now knows that any promise made by the US government is not worth the paper it's signed on, and is planning accordingly.

God, Jeff Bezos's jet is such an inane distraction that I can't believe people are still falling for this. If you're upset about Bezos's CO2 footprint, the very easy way to fix it is to tax the rich more. And then we

That's a bit like complaining that there are six different kinds of chess pieces and you have to memorize how each moves. The truth is, if you have trouble remembering how a knight moves, you can't be that good at Chess anyway. R

To be fair, it's hard for the Dems to do anything effectively when a sitting president attempts to overthrow an election, fails, and then half of the voters think "You know what, I want that guy to lead our country again." No

In many other countries, people would be asking "This is horrible, how can we bring down this leader, and how can we ensure that it never happens again?" But here in glorious America, people are asking "This is inevitable, ho

Now you created a fuel system cutoff control inhibition system which may malfunction in its own ways, e.g., refuse to cut off fuels from a burning engine because it thinks the plane is too low due to faulty altimeter reading.
