    This feels like an AI narrative, transcribed by a human. 1) Impromptu yoga class brunch. No one says "oh, who needs to top up their parking since we'll be an extra hour"; so it's t…

    Re Australia vs China https://youtu.be/sgspkxfkS4k?si=JgnhenF0qeTZXeGS basically explains the situation. While having data/code stolen isn't ideal, there is a certain point where y…

    Yeah, nah. Simple example: Who will renew the SSL cert? Day 1: meh, no impact. Day 2: meh, no impact. Day 700: who the hell manages this and why are we making no revenue? You might…

    That seems to be deliberately obtuse. It is more like being a firefighter and being opposed to airlifting icebergs to drop on fires. Sure, you'll get water eventually and you might…
