I think this is a huge win for Airbus. Extra market barriers to entry, a hobbled competitor, a now (relatively) outstanding brand, eyes diverted from them, 10 years head start / catch-up, lessons to be learnt from Boeing, solid backing

Hi there, Do you think that you will move from batches to continuous production the next few years (I understand this is difficult logistics)? If Frameworks were available with 3 day shipping, then I would be able to recommend them to p

Would Microsoft possibly just reenable this through updates? Tangentially related: Windows 11 (pro, at least) does not initially let you create a local account (in the setup wizard, it will try to force you to log in with an online account)

Sure, hence explicitly mentioning oxymoron, social dynamics and all the other caveats. I'm on the same page. My thought is that despite this, there is value in investigating it from my devil's advocate angle that I posted.

I think the Forest for the Trees take is this: They don't plan to instigate war in a vacuum, or trigger anything themselves. They think that there is high probably of global conflict in the next 4 years, and think that they may capit

I think it's a bit unethical to post narrow opinion pieces on 'psychologytoday' while masquerading as fact (strong words, but I would simply be happy with them posting 'opinion piece' at the top) I disagree with the

That ain't us.... kind of. That's the websites deciding to follow the letter of the law (or a spiteful, capitalist interpretation, taking it right to the line) instead of the spirit of the law. OK, unintended consequences of legis
