Another piece that tries to promote the idea that "following your dreams is dangerous" and that success has to do with privilege and not really with hard work. Beware of all these political ideologues trying to convince you that

In the 2024 elections, I don't remember 5 or 6 swing states suspending the counting at 10:00 PM all at the same time and for no reason, expelling election observers from the building, patching glass windows of the counting areas with c

Over 1 million babies killed by abortion every year. Thousands of sexual mutilations on teens every year in "sex reassignment" surgeries. But the MAGAs are the death cult. Sure.

Incident Response is like Project Management: you have a long list of processes with acronyms and definitions that you are supposed to follow step by step if something happens. Oh, and the process can only be directed by someone certified

I once helped my math-hating niece with math. I was eager to go through her homework and show her how wonderful math is. Her homework: How do you call the curve that intersects this figure in this way? How do you call the angle that is s

Suppose you get a degree, say, in mechanical engineering. You later get paid for a job where you needed to apply lots of knowledge that you got from copyrighted textbooks. Is that copyright infringement?

"They would have had to have navigated at least through part of the night, which would have required knowledge of the stars..." No sh*t. These people slept every night of their lives on the open dirt with nothing else to do but

Einstein was not talking about light in his SR and GR theories. He was talking about the "speed" of light. As simple as that is, took me a long time to get it.
