   This is quite different from maintenance. You already pay upfront to have lower maintenance costs, so the gas/oil/maintenance savings argument do not apply here, I think. You usually do not throw the car when it requires a major r

   People also seem to miss a point when trying to invoke the "Spirit of the Open Source License": The only reason why Elastic is changing their license is because they want to profit from it. So, isn't that exactly against the

   But, usually*, people do not re-watch the same film more than once or twice (except when you like it very, very much :) ). I usually listen to a song multiple times each day.

   > 3. The cost of streaming music is WAY WAY WAY too low. They priced an entire month of music at about £10, the same as a CD. That's 720 hours (30 days) for the same price as just over an hour of music. This works out at £0.0138888

   Doesn't spotify already distribute your subscription money to artists, based on your listens?

   This seems to be a great idea actually. An ISO standard cable with several tiers or power delivery ratings, mandatory for all EVs to accept should be the way to go. We have a standard gas/diesel "plugs" all over the world, wh

   So, to combat overtourism, they feel obligated to breach visitors privacy? I am shocked.

    Yeah, this actually removes Venice from my "places to go and see" bucket list.

    I feel like steam is a good citizen in this regard. I had no problem with it starting at startup/login after I asked it not to do that.

    Yup. The average salary for a junior (e.g. with 1 to 3 years experienced) developer is around 45-50k Euro gross. You can get very exceptional and very experienced engineers for 90-100k Euro gross annually.

    Writing the private key on a paper and storing it in a bank vault could also be an option.

    In Germany, when a speed limit of 30kmh is introduced because of a school, it is usually on applicable for school days and hours (e.g. Mo-Fri 8-18) only. After school hours or non school days you are allowed to drive at normal speed of 50km

    I actually do not find this unreasonable, maintaining and providing backwards support everyone's custom version with their own quirks would be a big technical burden.

    > I have no doubts brilliant European engineers are going to work on the hard problems of shipping a next gen chip process and design... In America! Exactly. The salaries in EU are pitiful.

    Which I found that very amusing, because Germany is suffering from really bad and expensive cable/copper internet all over the place.

    I do not think most apps need that, but e.g. financial companies needs to identify all their customers.
