There's miseries in all stages of life. I've known people that still enjoyed life into their 80s and even 90s. I'm not very afraid of being physical uncomfortable, and I enjoy being here enough to want to fight for more tim

This could be a blueprint for how other tech departments unionize, but I suspect NYT is a unique case because of their politics. Can such a left wing cornerstone really afford to look anti-union inside their own house? This gives the work

Hopefully your projects aren't too ingrained in the github ecosystem for migrating to be an issue. It's a bug tracker, a feature request tracker, a patch tracker ,a wiki, a release repository, plus an onramp to all sorts of azure

It's blatantly about international power. Technology is seen as a bottle neck to limit China's power on several fronts. Economic power, military power, scientific power, technological power.

Out of all of Japan's problems, I think the fundamental root is they need to import a significant amount of energy. They do not have significant coal, oil, uranium. They have limited access to solar and wind for their population size

Great, let's just put membership data on an app and let NFC wave us through. Why are we carrying around these plastic cards? You either have to make it a daily carry in your wallet or risk leaving it at home.
