I am aware of veal.

Technology

Microsoft Sales Lifted by Cloud Computing

The company’s shift to providing cloud services continues to pay off, as its revenue rose to $28.92 billion last quarter.

Amazon has reinvented main frame computing.
The new feature is schizophrenia.
Microsoft is copying as usual.

"Spectre" looks to be a real problem.
I have not yet noticed it on my systems.

Exploitation of the vulnerability is not widespread if it exists.

The Plight of Working Women, as Seen by the Woman in the Corner Office

“That’s What She Said,” by the former USA Today editor in chief Joanne Lipman, tackles gender politics at work with sympathy and reams of data.

I will be more interested in a second edition.

Trump’s Debt to Reagan

His speech not only appealed to the G.O.P. base, it also threatens to enlarge that base in ways that will be threatening to Democrats.

Bull.

Many of the Reagan Democrats are dead.
Anti-union efforts are fading for lack of working people with hope.  The popularity of Bernie Sanders shows people will vote for hope from the left.
Trump won on hope which is being disappointed.

President’s Power to Oust Consumer Watchdog’s Chief Is Curbed by Court

A law limiting the president’s power to fire the head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is constitutional, a federal appeals court ruled.

A good idea gains ground.

Quotation of the Day: Attacks Belie U.S. Optimism In Afghan War

Quotation of the Day for Tuesday, January 30, 2018.

It has been a long campaign.

The U.S. should send missionaries with the troops.

The U.S. would become deeply hated if it tried that tactic.
