G7 2023: The Real Threat To The World Order Is Hypocrisy.

When assessing people’s achievements or situations, it’s crucial to consider the unique challenges they’ve faced. This could be related to race, ethnicity, socio-economic background, gender, disability, and many other factors. By considering these barriers, we can form a more comprehensive and fair understanding of their experiences and achievements. For example, in education, this might mean recognizing that students from disadvantaged backgrounds might not have had the same access to resources as their peers. In a professional setting, it could mean acknowledging that systemic biases may have made it more difficult for certain employees to advance. This concept is at the heart of…

Guest post originally published on D2iQ’s blog by Michael Neubarth The CNCF’s flagship KubeCon Europe 2023 conference in Amsterdam last week was a vibrant sold-out affair that drew more than 10,000 attendees, 58% of whom were new to the conference, with another 2,000 people on the waitlist.

On The Coronation Of King Charles III And Its Legacy: Common Ground

On the eve of the show, on the eve of history — on the eve of what can be a beautiful start, not of Charles as King but of the leaders of the world together, not all of them, but surely a lot of them — we must forget the costs of it, we must forget the lottery of life, we must forget all the whys; simply, we carry on. We carry on. With a common story and shared experience, dare I say, a revival beyond the pandemic, the wars, the bickering the banter, the spare, the heir, the hare,…

God Save The King! – In Defence of King Charles III, The Coronation & The Monarchy

On the 6th of May, King Charles III will be crowned, an event that has received mixed reactions from the public. Recent surveys have shown that support for the British Monarchy is waning, with many people expressing their dissatisfaction with the institution. Personally, I am not in favour of monarchies, as I believe they embody and represent the very thing that discourages people from believing they can fundamentally change their state in life. It’s either you are born immensely privileged or not: when you’re concept of hardship is whether you miss out on tea break in the countryside or not knowing how to feed your children for their next meal. The monarchy is an ancient institution like…
