A counterexample to that is that you can walk into any chain supermarket and see "almond milk", "oat milk", and "soy milk" advertised on the shelves. They all use the word "milk", yet none of the manu

A big problem is that it's so difficult (and expensive) to get a code signing certificate that's valid under Windows that many developers just don't bother: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardwa

The down vote button on SO is supposed to be for posts that you believe nobody will get value from because they are confusing or wrong, not that you personally didn't get any value from. It's misused though.

Stack Overflow is about creating a wiki of knowledge for future visitors. If you have a question that is only relevant to your specific implementation, and that will never help anyone else in the future, then it doesn't add value to St

If hypothetically half of the US stopped eating beef today, that would make a huge positive impact on the US climate footprint. It wouldn't matter if the change were instigated by the government or by the people.
