The proposed Rust implementation will use zlib-rs, which is "heavily tested and used by the Firefox, uv, and Cargo" projects and "faster than zlib and zlib-ng on many platforms".... This small change would have an impact: the zlib compression algorithm is "widely used by Python packaging", meaning that (almost) "every pip install in Python 3.16 will be sped up" if the proposal is accepted.

Try to influence the environment just by wanting it to change. If it is a dream you likely can do it. E.g. add or remove an object from a scene just by willing it.
Wait - most people don't have telekinesis like I do? This changes everything!
Google says "The New Yorker Piece: Ian Frazier's "Coyote v. Acme" was published on February 26, 1990. It is written as a formal legal brief of product liability claims listing 85 counts against the Acme Company. This specific essay is the recognized inspiration for the upcoming film.
"But, eight years earlier, Joey Green wrote a three-part satirical product liability piece titled "Cliff-Hanger Justice" in the August, September, and October 1982 issues of National Lampoon that also featured Wile E. Coyote suing Acme. While it predated The New Yorker article, the movie itself credits Frazier's 1990 text."
The National Lampoon article is the one that I remember. Very well done. I gave it to my lawyer-brother and he commented that it had the feel of a serious legal brief.
The incredible power of the ANTI-nuclear lobby that got stupid Merkel to shut down nuclear in Germany and meant they are still now using Russian gas ?
FTFY
It was the Anti- nuclear lobby that fought it in Germany
I don't think the original post need fixing. It was highlighting the scanty logic of the earlier comment.
to joe biden and lina khan. trump admin must not have gotten a proper bribe to kill this.
Actually Trump is personally behind the right to repair. From Google: "President Donald Trump is actively championing the Right to Repair movement, focusing heavily on cars and agricultural equipment. In late June 2026, he signed a White House Presidential Memorandum directing the EPA to clarify regulations and ease restrictions on consumers repairing their own vehicles and using aftermarket parts.Trump's push includes several key initiatives and actions: The "Freedom to Fix" Memo: He directed the EPA to consider deprioritizing civil penalties for vehicle owners attempting to fix their own cars in good faith and to reduce reliance on the California Air Resources Board for approving aftermarket parts. Prior Action for Farmers: This directive builds on an initiative he signed earlier in the year that affirmed the right of farmers to repair their own tractors and off-road equipment. Executive Clemency: The administration has issued pardons for mechanics and business owners targeted in federal crackdowns involving emissions and vehicle modifications. Industry Pushback: Trump has publicly stated that executives from major automakers like Ford and General Motors have pushed back on these measures, citing concerns over cybersecurity, safety, and Clean Air Act compliance."
