There's the really amazing big brained thing we've figured out in rural areas: only drop kids off on the side of the road the live on.

That's ex-post facto bs. Why is it that people are having such a ard time accepting reality on this? When people have to fight this hard over their "thing" to the point of demonizing anyone who thinks differentely or ask any questions about it it typically means they are wrong, don't actually understand their position and hold it as part of groupthink, or are straight up lying. Which one are you doing?

You are part of the problem. This attitude is not only damaging to your own preferred position/understanding but it's also not how science works or should work beause someone asked a question you didn't like.

Was "we're going to have an ice age because of pollution" in the 70s an outlier or broadly agreed upon "scientific consensus"? Yeah, I thought so.

There is very obviously something going on with the climate but there is also very obviously something going on with the peer review system. And a bunch of people green grifting, causing conflicts of interests and perverse incentives. It's very difficult for someone not in the field but with enough intelligence and intellectual curiosity to simply accept the current version of this consensus.

Add to that zealotry of the "correct" opinion-havers on this whereby you're literally hitler if you don't fall in line and believe unconditionally.

The overwhelming majority of those people are in poverty and can't afford an iphone.

You don't get to shirk your longstanding commitments just because "it's too hard right now." That's not how soft power works, a thing that took decades to build that your orange toddler has destroyed.

Don't have any facts to support your pet position? Toos out an ad hominem insult! Nobody will notice and they're think you're so clever. Oh wait.....no they won't.

"I'm sorry Dave, but I can't do that"

The point is that history is irrelevant. It doesn't matter if he was the sole creator of Arduino and the one who sold it to Qualcom. The only thing that matters is that Qualcom owns it now which means the only people with insider knowledge of qhat happens next are Qualcom employees, all absolutely definitely under NDA.

Baffling "defense here". None of what you knew or said matters: the point of the story is they have been bought by Qualcom, a company with a well earned reputation and history of what they do to acquisitions. Do you have some relevant and timely information to contribute or just irrelevant history?

They tried to include it but the number was statistically insignificant.

Nice cerative writing exercise.

Are you certain that it's not Wannabe from the Spice Girls, but it has more to do with the date of arms manufacture, and not because the band had a monster hit tour in South America

80 year olds didn't grow up with computers, and a lot of them never adapted. We know this, easy answer. Gen Z also did not really "grow up with computers" in the way most of us here did: they grew up using content consumption devices like phones. Gen Z by and large don't even know how a filesystem works because of this. It's worse for them than the 80s year olds because at least the old people remember the thing a file system is based on and know how drawers and folders work.

So it's really not a surprise that there is yet another way in which they aren't very good with "computers". They also don't care, likely beause most of these account aren't something to care about.

If this was a good risk they could get a loan on the same terms from a bank. Why isn't that happening? The most likely answer based on recent history is: because someone or many people involved bribed trump.
