    True that. Their political system is extremely dangerous if it depends on the mental disposition of one man. If Xi has a bad day he could start a nuclear confrontation with no one …

    I'm very surprised that China would take the risk of fueling a political firestorm when these balloons are only marginally more effective than the satellites they already have. The…

    I've been using Firefox for twenty odd years now. It's performance is comparable to that of other browsers. But the pilfering of Mozilla by its management (giving themselves millio…

    I don't see why this would make the experience better. Java has been a huge part of Android's success allowing for backwards compatibility in a smooth manner. Java should also be g…

    I'm speaking from my own experience here. I've tested a couple of Rust programs which were developed in relatively short order yet were quite complex (a Minecraft type game being o…
