"Legacy" auto is falling back to combustion because that's what people overwhelmingly want. The majority of people can afford neither the financial, nor the ability costs that come with electric only vehicles.

If you mess with my chocolate, I will _cut_ you. On a less psychotic note; products have sprung up recently that use the fruit, which I applaud. To be honest, a year ago I didn't even know we weren't using the fruit, and it seems

Tease. I would love it if companies from the U.S.A. left the EU. Not solely for the economic boost it would give local competitors (who have all but shut down when U.S.A. companies came), but also because they clash with our culture in nega

When your business model calls for scale so large that it's infeasible to have humans involved in important processes (due to costs), this is what happens. The fact that they can _get away_ with this is a failure of government. We have

I’m _dying_ to be “got” (pay) for a good editor. My requirements are simple enough, but apparently not profitable, since no one has built a product that ticks the boxes.

I'm hearing a lot of "you can only demand your job title's work at large companies", and disagree. It may be that this is actually true in America, I wouldn't know. What I can say though, is that at least in Europe

Interesting! I guess there's no way to fix this with further regulation either, since it would be some work to prove MS had access to the API contracts before they released them. The ultimate lesson then is to stop using MS stuff.

You mean in terms of third-parties wanting that level of access regardless? I agree, but it would be an easy "no" then.

Yes and no. As others have pointed out above, it is factually correct that they were forced by the EU to give access to kernelspace. However, it is also true that the only reason for that was that _they_ were using kernelspace for the same

I agree you don't need harsh binary rules, but once you give yourself the freedom of drinking when you want to, ask yourself why you are choosing to. Many of her points are directed at the reasons not being so good.
