That is like taking legal advice from the opposing counsel.

I have also worked on drum brakes and mostly agree with your observation. The "however" is that Continental has designed a sealed drum brake. Granted this design specifically mentions the electronic parking brake application, it is used for rear-axle braking in EVs because about 80% of the braking power is via regenerative braking. Coupled with about 30% of the braking power being supplied by the rear axle, the design works for this application.

Continental is working on a front-axle drum brake application.

How long until they are on the Google Graveyard?

I have been having other issues with Roku, coupled with the pivot to advertising, so now I am leaning towards dumping and going to another device.

So Canadian privacy or consumer protection laws should not apply to a US based web server? I think the EU would disagree with your logic vis-a-vis GDPR or the Digital Markets Act.

Negatory. Shopify chose to do business in the United States (or any other country) when they could have either geo-blocked IP addresses or not allowed goods or services to be delivered to that country. In the United States (and true for many countries), a company has to register as a foreign corporation (other countries use different terminology or legal structures) in order to conduct business outside of the jurisdiction they are registered. One reason is to have a "registered agent" where they can be served with legal documents.

If we followed your logic, then countries are essentially giving up their sovereignty to the company as there would be no mechanism to enforce laws. GDPR--gone, Food safety regulations--gone. Perhaps your country requires payment processors collect some national tax. Some foreign company can decide not to collect said tax because they are an "international internet site" and your country's rules do not apply to them. I don't buy the libertarian pipe dream that consumers will magically bind together to punish misbehaving companies. The number of times that has been successful is small.

International business is conceptually similar to a property easement. Your neighbor (or a utility) might have the need to use part of your property. An easement that defines that need becomes part of the deed. Similarly, a foreign business wants to operate in a jurisdiction. The national and local laws that define how that occurs and sets the parameters for that operation.

The onus is on the business to comply with the laws in the areas they want to operate within.

If you had your corporate infrastructure on-prem, you would not be vulnerable to indiscriminate blocking. Just saying.

And the bundled chargers are typically not very good

Great answers, but I fear it is falling on deaf ears because it is not a bloated JS framework that runs on a browser.

Supposedly, and I am not a biology person, the contributing factor to the increase in peanut allergy is due to the recommendation to delay introducing peanuts in the diets of infants. Countries that do not have such a recommendation have not seen an increase. No idea if this is true, YMMV, etc

And so it begins.

Remove the MBAs from senior management

I would be more worried about my general liability policy than the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ). Having an unlicensed person doing the work is no bueno. Plus, in many (all?) states having an unlicensed electrician doing work if they are not the property owner is not allowed.

The carbon credit is ideal for corruption. It combines virtue signaling with money. If you dared to criticize the market, you were anti-environment.

I too have taken trains many times and it rarely is on time--often the delays are hours. I would say the upper limit where train travel in the US is reliable is about 250 miles, though Brightline may be greater than that because they own a portion of the track they run on.
