The history of gRPC is well worth the read. Thanks for sharing this @danciruli.cloud
I worked on a few fairly prominent efforts in open source (Istio, OpenAPI), but I think of all of them, it’s gRPC that I think has the coolest story. Pull up a chair and set for a spell (any inaccuracies in what follows are 100% my fault for having a bad memory!).

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

This! Trump kept saying he would deport the most people ever. But he doesn't get the numbers (by far) and needs so much force and violence that it is ridiculous.
Hillary Clinton: "More people were deported under my husband and Barack Obama without killing American citizens and without putting children into detention camps than were in the first Trump term or this first year of Trump's second term."

I just heard someone say on TV that use of the term "concentration camps" to describe ICE facilities was "very strong language."
I think ICE's concentration camps are very strong abuses of human rights.

Als je het dan toch hebt over dingen die 'niet gezegd mogen worden': dat je min of meer vanzelf links wordt als je dingen beter begrijpt (tenzij je natuurlijk gevestigde belangen moet verdedigen).
Wat een belachelijk en #misleidend artikel! Wie de moeite neemt de wetenschappelijke publicatie waarnaar verwezen wordt, er op na te lezen, trekt een hele andere conclusie. Uit dat artikel blijkt dat er helemaal geen sprake is van een duidelijke linkse dominantie op de universiteiten!

Trump claims he has the authority to impose tariffs to respond to an economic “emergency.” Is getting his feelings hurt an emergency? This shows how absurd is tariff crusade is.
Trump: "So I put on a 30% tariff, which is very low. I got an emergency call from I believe the prime minister of Switzerland. She was very aggressive ... I didn't really like the way she talked to us, so instead of giving her a reduction, I raised it to 39%."
