Yes, and the world should not be buying oil from Saudis either. The biggest grey zone here is USA. Europe should have certainly not participated in USA wars in the Middle East.

Roughly 4% of the money Germany will give Russia will be used to kill Ukrainians and stage wars like in Georgia. Russia spends around 4% GDP on their army. Otherwise, why shouldn't we buy oil e.g. from Islamic State if it manages to re

Deciding that it's no longer worthwhile to provide services to everyone in a country is not leveraging your dominance. It's giving up. They can't force Google to operate in Australia.

The licenses are there so that you don't need to trust companies to follow some unstated rules. You clearly do not like certain permissive licenses and you should contribute only to projects that have licenses similar to GPLv3. Take it

It's clear that the author should not contribute to Apache 2.0 projects, because they do not like freedoms this license provides. They should contribute to projects whose licenses do not allow changing terms of the license easily. That

It's reality. They do reusable Falcon Heavy flights at 90 million right now. Good chunk of that cost is second stage and fairings that are expendable. Starship is designed to be fully and rapidly reusable.

There have to be red lines on political freedom of speech too. For example incitement to genocide must be red line. Unless you think that for example radio station RTLM was in their right to incite Rwanda genocide.
