That's of course far too cheap for FAANG companies. Doesn't the Ireland trick (mainly for tax evasion) only work for the EU market? I'd assume after Brexit the UK would require local presence?

That's the problem with allowing a company the reach and keep dominating market position. You need to involve them in regulation enforcement. In a fair market Google could rightfully say that's none of our business.

Well, that's what you get if you lower taxes on businesses. Otherwise some brick and mortar shop might rightfully complain why do I have to pay taxes for regulating companies that ruin my business. Is it public knowledge how much FAANG

It was said the fact of a shutdown was not a huge exception in Norway, it had happened before. The fact that they couldn't just restart was. Just what I read.

In the same area of privacy-aware AI there is Jolla Mind2. It's your own computer, so probably even more trustworthy than Orbit by Mozilla? I have not studied either product in depth, so I am unable to comment on commonalities or diffe

While you corrected one mistake you added a new one:) Those are git trailers, see git-interpret-trailers(1). git-notes(1) is something completely different and not used by the kernel.

Code review in the Linux kernel still happens by email to a large degree. Further up in contribution tree there is additional signing. Would that further complicate the insertion of a false commit? I am not convinced that signing is used al

TFA has nothing to do with SHA-1 or SHA-1 collisions. It's about abbreviated hash values introduced for readability by humans. Now these values are used by auxiliary scripts. Which again has little to do with git proper. It's just

Pronunciation is only one problem: Personally I find some British and most French natives harder to understand. But native speakers from any continent can make me feel lost if they start to use a lot of idioms and slang expressions. My boss

Offshore English is a concept to make the language more understandable to non-native speakers. Avoid rare words and idioms. Avoid everything that wouldn't be taught in foreign schools or common in your field. You won't get a Nobel
