Funny how the tone of the comments, so far, is negative. I wonder why. If the exact same investigation were ramping up in 6 months, under a Biden controlled DOJ, I'd imagine it'd be one comment after another praising the decision.

Would it even matter? Google has tied so much critical functionality into their Play API that they could probably just flip a switch, and any app that didn't go through their own store would lose huge amounts of capabilities that Googl

That would assume Sweden's economy is completely independent of its European neighbors and even the rest of the world. In 2020, that's not true at all. Even without Covid, recessions in the US or Germany or other large economic pa

Probably because you've flooded the market with Indians on visas, who've pushed down wages and working conditions, just like in the US (and now Canada). Smart students don't want to work in an industry where the working envir
