Apple is just saying whatever they think will prevent the court from taking away their revenue. That is the only "why"

"Outperforming" doesn't mean safer. The CEO is particularly excited that the cars can work longer hours than people (more completed trips per day), and pointed that out specifically in his report.

There is a straightforward technical solution to your problem that does NOT involve anti-competitive monopoly app stores.

Your approach is similar to those people who dislike IPv6 because of NAT. If you want NAT in IPv6 for some reason, there is a straightforward technical solution to getting it there.

Consoles, smart TVs, and set-top boxes and other hardware that has stores should also be open, allowing you to run your own software.

Seriously, you're on Slashdot. You should know this obvious solution.

There's definitely a factor of some people who are attracted to a bully.

What does that even mean?

It looks like something designed for a vision impaired elderly gentleman (or woman). I don't understand why Google always has such bad designers.Their phone hardware looked like garbage until they bought HTC.

That is definitely true. A lot of D politicians just look confused when talking about Trans issues. It wouldn't be hard to come up some messaging, something simple like "Let people be people" or "don't be a hater" is good enough. It doesn't need to address every trans issue.

Instead those pols look like a deer caught in the headlights.

As long as the PowerPoint is built on top of Redis (or other qualifying NoSQL with Rust) then it will be ok. /s

Why do some people like Trump would be a more interesting question tbh.

The more money supporting science, the better.

Of course, America needs to get its game together, but Trump is temporary. The changes Europe just made will be here for a while.

Yes you are right, that is definitely a hook the government can use to push propaganda. It's not clear at all how the Chinese people will ultimately feel about it. Of course, anyone in China with any sense is not talking about it.

The flip side is this. Outside, some prominent Chinese are blaming it on Xi for acting like a mob boss.

I see target rich areas.

Technically, if you have two (or more) molecules of water, then they are making each other wet. If you only have one molecule, then it is not wet, it must find a partner.

Oh, you don't know about Strelkov? You're more ignorant than I thought. (That's not ad hominem, it's abuse. But in this case, it's observation).

Calling someone a comrade is not ad hominem. It's like calling them a friend, or a partner.
