As someone who lives in Massachusetts, I can wholeheartedly agree. The MA governor just banned vapes for 6 weeks or so then the legislature created some new laws and a hefty 75% ta…

I am aware... I work in old school financial services there is more red tape and politics with these types of things. I am merely stating what our plans are. We don't really use Ja…

We were told not to download any new versions of java due to oracle trying to extract money for it. Basically we are going to do the same. Purge every oracle product slowly but sur…

When your company is worth a billion and/or very profitable then it might be arrogant otherwise I don't really see the CEO as some higher being. Personally, I know more about accou…

As someone who is going to be childfree I think it is a preference thing. While I don't understand why someone would want kids I still accept it as a value in society. People often…
