The numbers look really odd with scotch and bourbon being down but the whiskey industry itself being slightly up. I'd guess more people are drinking local brands with no tariffs. T…

I have to disagree, AMP showed that even Google had an internal conflict with the results of WHATWG.. It's naturally quite hard to reach agreements on a subset when many parties wi…

I always thought there weren't enough boys in Lord of the Flies for the social dynamics, but still it is supposed to be more than 6, enough to break into two groups of the size in …

That's more a small business owner perspective. For a middle manager rattling some cages during a week of IBM downtime is adequate performance while it is unclear how much performa…
