Very impressive, actually.

More impressive are the guys walking around during all that swaying as if they were on coffee brake.

You write about an application yet not a link to the project's website in the article.

I find this very useful.

To add more value, add another column that gives how much of a given food source an average-sized adult needs to eat to get the recommended daily intake.

Power? Doubtful. Prevalence of Islam? Maybe.

However, just watching another person destroy your homeland can tick most people off.

And in virtually all those cases, there's a link to the target's actions against something the terrorists hold dear.

Terrorist activity in India? Look to Kashmir.

In Russia? The Russians fought their own war on terrorism before we went into Afghanistan. In some ways going into Afghanistan diverted fighters streaming into Chechnya to fight the Russian army to Afghanistan. We gave them a target they hated more than they hated the Russians. From reports, many of the best fighters on the side of ISIS are Chechens.

The Russians, by the way, are still fighting terrorists.

And whether these wars are "internal affairs" or not is immaterial.

Missing in media reports about these things is the connection between action (our foreign military mis-adventures) and reaction (terrorist attacks).

About a month ago we celebrated the mother of all bombs that flattened what amounted to a small village in Afghanistan. We were told that it killed ONLY 90 terrorists, assuming the vast area it affected was inhabited only by the killed terrorists. Not a single civilian was killed, we were told.

The pilot and his crew are our heroes.

Somewhere there's an Afghan from that flattened area. Even if he doesn't subscribe to ISIS/Taliban ideology, he can't be too happy.

Most people in his position would feel that they have a score to settle. And when he has the opportunity, we don't make the connection.

He's a terrorist, but we have our heroes.

Sometimes I feel like crying, not for the dead (that won't help them), but for the rest of us still alive.

Unless you’ve been hiding in a container for the past few months, you’ve probably heard of Kubernetes (often called K8),

That's funny, but last I checked, Kubernetes is often referred to as K8s, not K8.

Yes, a stateroom on a cargo ship sounds like it would be fun. Something to try one of these days.

Nope. Texas.

I'm very versatile, so if you're looking for somebody to work with, we can talk. I have my hands in a number of things in the very early stages right now, but me good at multi-tasking.

Sorry to digress, I should have stopped at the first paragraph.

No, it's good digression, and it brings back fun and painful memories, as I made and lost money at that time.

Trading on margin is something rookies should avoid. It's the easiest way to lose money.

The thing I don't understand is this noise about shorting being unethical. You have more to lose than anybody in the game, and you're not breaking any rules.
