on the other hand, the big cost factor that would restrict home delivery to people who have money is… human labor costs. Once robot-based delivery is the standard, home delivery may be quite affordable. Maybe even less costly on the whole t

Sadly, I fear Digia (and its owned spin-off, the Qt Company) will be the death of Qt: Unlike Nokia, which bought Qt and opened it to a more liberal license (LGPLv2.1) because it saw it as a strategic platform basis to attract developers to
