What's the difference between "reliable" and "accurate"? In any case, I have seen enough of these "A, B, C : pick N" (where 0 < N < 3) mantras shot down (usually by re-examining whether the constrain

So, why then did you ask for: > Can you name off the top of your head the last 3 significant privatizations? I can list similar privatizations in Canada. Here's an article that discusses various issues around it in the Canadian cont

I am wondering why Epic Games comes to mind, but not Steam? I see this happen quite often. I have nothing against Steam or Epic Games; rather, I am curious why the discourse around the two seems to be different, even though they're qui
