I don't know about "only created in one country", but there are certainly products which are only made in a few countries. One example is LCD and OLED panels - virtually all are made in China, Taiwan, and South Korea. As far

There's a third requirement which you've glossed over somewhat: a domestic manufacturer of that product needs to exist. For many of the products which are currently the subject of US tariffs, domestic manufacturing is nonexistent,

Do those pixels even exist on the display? They certainly don't on the iPhone; the implied corners on those are physically outside the device.

Not the case with a third-party display either.

Most ARM licensees aren't permitted to create custom implementations, only to use IP cores provided by ARM. There are a couple of companies who do have an architectural license, allowing them to create their own implementations, but th

2002 was before the tipping point, IMO. Open-source software existed, but wasn't always taken seriously. Linux was still widely perceived as being a hobbyist OS unsuitable for "real" applications. A lot of the Internet still

1) For better or worse, code signing certificates are expected to come with some degree of organizational verification. No one would trust a domain-validated code signing cert, especially not one which was issued with no human involvement.

Perhaps? But unless tape, and the infrastructure to support it, is dramatically cheaper than disk, they might still be better served by more disk - having two or more copies of data on disk means that both of them can service load, wherea

Tape is also an extraordinarily poor option for a service like Internet Archive which intends to provide interactive, on-demand access to its holdings.

What's possibly more relevant is that Wisconsin has unusually high rates of alcohol abuse. Their high rate of fall-related deaths may be better understood as a high rate of alcohol-related deaths which involve falls. https:/&#x2F

Bingo. Humans can make mistakes, but they can also recognize that something's gone wrong and change tactics to recover from it. Current self-driving systems can't do that effectively; they'll just keep going, even when they p

Oddly, the one thing it doesn't work on for me is the main area of the System Preferences window. Everything else I've tried seems to work, though.

macOS has Cmd + Ctrl + drag to move windows. Alt + drag seems unlikely given that it's already often used for "copy" actions.

Sort of! Cmd + Ctrl + drag moves windows now.

Not possible without substantial changes. The system bus and SIO are only configured for two active cores; they'd have to be rearchitected to support more. In particular, inter-processor communication would need major changes to suppor

In the contexts where Markdown is most often used, the distinction between bold and italics isn't really important. So long as *this* or **this** gets rendered in a way that conveys emphasis , the meaning is preserved.
