It's telling that Bezos has chosen to take this fight to Washington DC - his only real hope is to kneecap SpaceX politically. It's not that Blue Origin lacks engineering know-how, it's that they brought in a ULA executive to

FF market share isn't a technical or ideological issue - it's marketing and platform capture. Chrome is the new IE and has the entire Google ecosystem tied in with it to make it a compelling platform. They were also smart to push

Once the law firm realizes that their potential score here is at best in the low hundreds of dollars, they will undoubtedly never follow up. It's like any spam, the few victims they land on will pay for dozens of pointless filings.

The one thing the OP article doesn't actually do is claim that Firefox is more SECURE than Chrome/Brave, the arguments (mostly bad) are that it more private. And that pretty much goes without saying for Chrome, since its entire ra

Medicare could decide not to cover it, but that's unlikely. The story here is regulatory capture. The enormous and ever-growing profits of pharma give them equally enormous resources to throw at buying regulators and congressmen.
