means you’re allowing the courts into politics

Allow me to introduce you to my friend Chad. Hanging Chad.

This is such a crock of shit. If NL needed Federal approval from everyone between Portugal and Greece, your solutions would be pretty DOA too. It has nothing to do with some weird Dutch superiority complex.

Do external displays and docks count?

On phones and tablets, I usually go for wired connections for video because I'm almost always doing it while traveling, where wireless options either will never work or have some PITA yak shaving setup required before they do. If you can plug in an HDMI cable, you know that it will work.

Except they're basically enacting rules against accepting gifts like this, saying it's unethical. Like a bribe.

The firefighters that allied with DeSantis against Disney? That would be pretty generous.

The fire department supported dissolving RCD and welcomed the DeSantis puppets. So no, not jumping to conclusions at all.

It's a new Cold War. Quality of life matters less than being able to stick it to the other guy. For the Soviets, empty grocery stores and gray concrete block housing are tolerable if it means winning against the decadent West. The West had dumbass proxy wars of containment and abrogation of freedoms (HUAC, FBI bullshit).

I think we'll have trade but you'll see state intervention to boost alternatives in the respective spheres with a 3rd World (OG definition) in the middle.

Reel it back in cuz it's more complicated than that. Modi is a very recent development and India is very proud of their government and country through their fight for Independence. I hope they can kick that donkey's ass out soon because they deserve better.

KSA primarily offers stability, not profitability. They provide oil to US allies and counter Iran's influence. Also notably, until the 2022 escalation, KSA was also the #1 oil importer for China.

Why include R&D up to this point? Do we say Mars Pathfinder (Sojourner) actually cost billions because we include previous Mars missions?

I think it's just a bad article. They throw out numbers but don't say how they got them.

Hasn't the F-150 has already preemptively destroyed the Cybertruck? I suppose most people driving pickups don't actually need a pickup's functionality. They're just told they need a pickup so that's what they buy.

Did you ever see James May's OG Top Gear piece on Honda's hydrogen car? I think about it a lot. That alternatives to ICE cars is the way to save ICE cars for enthusiasts.

No one seems to mention license considerations when talking about static linking. Even if your app is open source, your particular license may not be legally compatible with the GPL, for example. 3BSD, MIT, and Apache most likely don't change in a single binary but it's kind of a new thing that no one was really thinking of before when mixing licenses together.

I think this default okay assumption comes from most developers having a cloud-centric view where there's technically no "distribution" to trigger copyright.
