You really think that the USSR of the early 1940s could have fought that era's Germany and Japan at once? What about the comments by no less than Admiral Zhukov himself acknowledging that in his view, the USSR couldn't have defeat

I don't see why, given that looking through Google Maps seems to suggest that it's at least as common as not... Let me just step back and observe that this is possibly the worst way to do cultural exchanges. Why does everyone have

It seems extremely unfair. Rather than focusing on the content, you're criticizing tone. It comes off as a structured tactic, given that famous image of Mudge with unkempt hair in a suit sitting before Congress, intended to draw attent

It's interesting that in the countries where it seems to be less common, everyone assumes that displaying flags outside of schools is a US-only thing, when spot checks of Google Maps seem to suggest that it's relatively common thr

This seems like a bad comparison. Hanging from cranes isn't a form of criminal assault that some people experience, as "being assaulted in the USA" is. It's a form of standardized systematic judicial punishment of gay pe

Germany is less surprising to me, given the history involved. Based on what I am looking into on Google Maps, however, it hardly seems to be a phenomenon confined to the US, and at least based on my spot checks it seems to be more common th

I can remember seeing flags in front of schools in every country I've visited, several in the Americas, several in Asia, and several in MENA.

>It's certainly not normal in my country for schools to display the country's motto or flag Wow, really? Can I ask what country? In my state it's illegal for the leader of a school to neglect or refuse to display the flag:

Why is it odd that regulations would require public schools to display the motto of the United States, or the flag of the United States, or any of that? These things seem like exactly what every country does. [edit - This comment is current

The only honest answer I can give there is, "I don't know". So far as I'm aware, Twitter hasn't alleged that, no evidence has been presented supporting such an allegation, and generally it seems a heavy burden to pr

Mudge is to cybersecurity as Orson Welles is to film. That's not hyperbole.

I don't think you understand how poorly attacking Mudge's character or insinuating that he's driven by some unethical ulterior motive is going to work out. Mudge is... he's Mudge. He's a known quantity, and one ever

There seems to be the impression that "waiving due diligence" in an acquisition is some license for the seller to defraud the potential buyer without recourse. If Mudge's allegations are true that Twitter has been defrauding

Some options that shareholders would have in the situation where investors were knowingly deceived by false disclosures of a publicly traded company are missing from this response.

Just to clarify for those who don't catch it in the article: Mudge's whistleblower complaint predates the Musk/Twitter feud entirely.

A single data point can be sufficient to contradict a thesis. A correlation is an observation that seemingly unrelated events occur in proximity to each other, temporally or otherwise.
