I think it’s a lot more complicated than your oversimplification. For example, where does a quid-pro-quo relationship fit into your categories? Saying leaked out of “ego” is equivalent to saying it was leaked “because”. We know it was somet

Hard to sympathize with an owner of two Tesla’s complaining his/her pericular edge case is being overlooked. The vast amount of people will be covered with WiFi. The rest of the Teslii owners can buy a cheap WiFi hotspot for a month.

That’s pretty much been the story of all communist countries. Rather than say they’re “doing it wrong”, we should ask ourselves why such methods of government tends to create such destructive environments.

We’re at the point now where labels such as “capitalist” and “communist” is meaningless. China is a purported communist country but is minting more billionaires per year than any other country.

I wish I could agree. Half of the time I spent on my last linux laptop was spent frustratingly trying to get things to work. The screen font was too small for some stuff, too big for others. It didn't wake up from sleep properly. somet

I would be inclined to believe you if this problem wasn’t pervasive. Pensions like these are built on promises and backed by tax payers. As a tax payer we have every right to oversee the situation and compel changes if we deem them necessar

In my opinion, a bit too much trivia to be a valuable indicator of SRE success. It would be really great if a candidate (who rated themselves well in systems debugging) could walk you through the strace output of a command like that.

We’re quickly approaching a place where I’m ready to send all voice calls not in contacts to /dev/null. Not even voicemail, but to the ether. If a company wants to get ahold of me, they can send me an email or a text message.
