As a business email hosting customer, I have been very happy with Zoho for years. And on the rare occasion that I needed customer support, the experience has been very pleasant in comparison to almost every other tech company I depend on.

So naturally we should build additional beaurocratic infrastructure in the US to serve the needs of < 100,000 people who may only be here for a few years (many of whom would not even be here had it not been for the deceitful lobbying of

The problem of falling projectiles from celebratory gunfire is trivially solvable insofar as the solution to the problem is simply to not fire the guns. So in that regard, it is a trivial solution. The practical problem is that despite ris

Well, from listening to several on the first page, I say musicians and composers have nothing to worry about in terms of AI competition for some time. As amazing as AI image generation is, AI music generation (to me) is not.
