I think Google beat Apple to that by at least a decade. If you're not using an Apple product or service, Apple likely knows very little about you. Google, OTOH, knows a lot about y…

You gotta at least get your facts right. The Soviet Union collapsed in 1991. The Pentium III was released within that same decade (Feb. 1999) [1], not "well over a decade after Sov…

But he was still good enough to lead the Intel team that developed the Pentium III, or is that an overstatement? From his Wikepedia page: > At the beginning of 1990s, he immigrated…

That, actually, is way more than the minimum recommended. See [1]. It took me about 10 minutes of jogging at least 3-4 times a week over several months before I got to the point wh…

By all accounts, Soviet chip development was ahead of that of the US (Intel). Then one day a party official killed the project. At least the lead guy found his way to the US and to…

How many places in the world would you get +35 Celsius (95 F) in the morning?

> the ride from start to finish lasts about 25 minutes. That's about 50 minutes to and fro. That's all the exercise a child needs in a day. Wish they'll succeed in making it every …

But those would then be immigrants, right? And likely will need to come in under H1B or something. How will owners of that platform react to hiring to immigrants?

Are you trying to tell me that the folks at Cyber Ninja, the firm that conducted the Arizona audit, are not competent?

No, but the platform is just part of the company - Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG). In the future, TMTG intends to take on all the major tech outfits on the planet - AWS, Azu…

Best to be intolerant to, say, the Taliban, than to the Girls Scout.

By the time all this is settled, Trump and Co will learn a lot about software licensing than they thought was necessary. This is not a space where you can bully others, because the…
