wrong about wrong. if you go down that path, you are powerless. we live in a society that is imperfect. but you cannot live on a pedestal alone and be perfect either. you should shop at "walmart" or where-ever your dollar is the m

the overwhelming majority of people, 95%+, are wonderful awesome people. probably you too. awesome people sometimes screw up, but that's OK. if you really still think that "everyone sucks" then maybe you are in the 5%

Versal "edge" VE2302 boards are coming from multiple vendors. much better pricing. i'm guessing they will be available in a month or so - they are supposed to "Q2" but seem to be a little bit late (as is typical).

> were on average much nicer than those who got their stuff for free! this is always true with, at least a great many, people. it's related to choosey-beggar syndrome. it's a bug/glitch/feature in human psychology.

seconded. even if it was completely true criticism, which it categorically is not, putting up a half-page banner is extremely gauche and immature. saying things like "an organized attempt to destroy lives, including of developers in ou

this is baloney. first, what is "personally escorted to school on a horse" supposed to be? and if he had private tutors, why did he only get 80%? and, regardless of the background, is not 80% still objectively better than 79%? sec

that doesn't mean, as the GP comment said and i'm objecting to, that it implies anything about when the condition is false. this is a magazine article, not a proof. so i'm certain the author felt it was relevant to say it t
