    I work in healthcare integration. I have interfaced with EPIC and Cerner and pretty much all the other main EHR platforms and seen my clients struggle with their IT. You sir are ab…

    The drone swarm folks are persistent and resist the facts that as drone lethality approaches fighter jet, so does the size, complexity, cost and operational requirement of the dron…

    Please tell me this isn't a case where Debian has "improved" something crypto and broken it.
