The developers weren't consulted?
What a childish, idiotic, egocentric attitude. This is business. Github is not a nonprofit.
From the beginning, Git support of MS has been poor. I'd say this is well deserved.

Various studies have been published on this in the past few years.
The "sanitary" air driers are anything but. The more powerful they are the worse they are.
A little wasteful, but paper is better. If people wouldn't use far more than is necessary to dry their hands it would be less wasteful.
The small waste of paper is far less that one what's used to treat one person's infection.
Pay me now, or pay me later. Paper towels are less wasteful.

LOL! dead on!

Did you read why?
This isn't protectionist. It's national defense. MILITARY!
DOD over rules all

The move was announced months ago. "to comply with new laws there."
Apple could either play or go home, they decided to play.

There are two sides to military waste.
The bloated programs that are kept alive by both military bureaucracy and congressional political issues.
And then there's absolute waste. It takes an act of congress for the military to buy almost anything, literally. So, instead of buying, they lease. The leases cost far more. Sometimes far, far more. But, they can schedule the payments so congressional action is not required. The military is a business, and this is no way to run a business. Congress is the board of directors, and they need to be taken out of the day to day decision system. No successful business can run that way.

The Indian's have had nukes for over a decade.
Be more worried about ISIS.

Build up in sediment beaches is not sustainable land.
Literally here today, gone tomorrow (well sometime soon in the future).
Totally bogus conclusion.
This is a new twist on climate denial.
If the authors are so confident they should be buying land in Tuvalu, everyone there is trying to sell to get out.
the story is BULL$#1T

Amen ;-)

Long before any of the above mentioned.
The book, it's sequels, and a movie.
book by Dennis Feltham Jones, 1966
movie 1970

Not a new theme.

Never going to happen.
I wouldn't be surprised if it's illegal.

You beat me to the punch.
The story is total BULL$#1T.

Amusing reference to Nunes. His "blockbuster" turned out to be toilet fish.

I was looking at a OnePlus phone when I bought a different one. They have good features at a very good price. But I prefer dealing with a non Chinese company that has their phones made in China, than a Chinese company. I am so glad of the choice I made.
No, I didn't buy an Apple, Samsung, Google, or Motorola. I bought a different well made off brand, and will not advertise for them.

Wrongful arrest, and a laundry list of other complaints,
This is SO blatant, it will settle out of court, for a lot of money.

This is totally theoretical. There is no implementation on silicon.
Until someone does this on a chip it's meaningless, and as others have pointed out, the solution isn't new.
