Re:You might literally be buying trash on Amazon on Tuesday December 17, 2019 @03:05PM (#21818140)
So you are not happy with the low quality and fraudulent items, but you are OK with items literally pulled out of a dumpster? I personally don't really want either.

I think it means there is 0% Docker involved, but I am not sure...claiming to be 100% secure is more suspect to me.

Re:We asked three companies to recycle plastic and only one did on Saturday September 28, 2019 @06:42PM (#21103474)
And now China isn't even taking it anymore [1]

Most recycling programs in the U.S. are little more than a social experiment at this point.

> Somehow, he managed to obtain copies of the IBM entrance examination questions and answers, which he surreptitiously shared with promising young black job applicants. He coached them on passing the exam and succeeding in their interviews. Many were subsequently hired.

It definitely makes sense to report on the yield curve inversion; that certainly could be a possible indicator of a future recession. imo, It has really been taken to another level though with doomsday articles all over the place.

The recession talk was mostly media-driven based on a few cherry-picked data points. Sure, they may be right...but they may be wrong. For whatever reason, every media outlet has been running with this lately.
