WestLaw and Lexis Nexis provide this for legal search, but quite frankly, these services are subpar. It's amazing that these two companies rake in hundreds of millions but they are…

Now THIS is the sort of nihilistic outlook that keeps me coming back for a hit of HN.

Federal employees are not permitted to strike. See 5 USC § 7311.

So commoditize the complement.

AOE2 is the pinnacle of the RTS genre. With the Definitive Edition released in 2019, it's still extremely popular today. In my opinion, no RTS title has surpassed AOE2 before or si…
