The relevant group channels were not encrypted.

The issue wasn't the presence of CSAM. The issue was their refusal to remove it when it was pointed out to them.

The above poster would like you to forget about all the subsidies to boost fossil fuels. Especially the implicit ones.

The panels still work after 20 years. They become less efficient.

Also, now that we've had 20 years of modern panels, it turns out the accelerated wear studies that came up with 20 years were wrong by a lot. It's more like 30-40 until the efficiency goes down significantly.

Nope. The atmospheric and biological conditions that allowed the formation of oil no longer exist.

Ok.
Man, that was hard. I had to go all the way to the web site for the most popular truck in the US and choose the base model.

It's so odd you didn't manage to link to a single one of them.

I suspect a significant difference is the Rust developers are probably working on something newer than the C++ developers. The quickest things to switch to Rust will be the smallest/newest products. The large, creaky, 1-billion-edge-cases C++ code is going to be the last stuff moved.

First, working on newer code bases is much more productive (see 1-billion-edge-cases)

Second, working on newer code bases is usually more interesting. Which means more of the better developers are going to successfully push to get on those projects. The fact that it's in a language that's getting extra buzz at the moment is going to accelerate that.

Better developers on a better code base are going to have a leg up on productivity, regardless of the language used. So while I don't doubt Rust is "more productive", I am going to doubt "double".

Valve does neither. There are other app stores that do, such as the one Epic made.

Valve doesn't force you to only use Steam. And you can use any payment system you'd like as long as the user is not literally clicking the "Buy" in the Steam client. They even have a Steam Key system so that users can redeem products on Steam that they bought elsewhere.

If you believe in free markets, that's the definition of "worth that price". If people are paying it, it's worth the price.

No, Valve will happily let you sell on any storefront you wish to use.

It's Sweeny that's requiring exclusive contracts for his PC software storefront. For some reason those contracts aren't evil when he's doing them.

Well, Tim, the way the Internet deals with those evil, terrible, no good fees from Steam is by providing you a place where you could create your own app store that charges less.

In fact, you did so. And it's such a massive pile of garbage that the only way you get people to use it is vendor-lock-in or giving stuff away for free.

If you want to unseat Steam and cut those fees, try making a storefront that isn't awful and missing a ton of critical features.

What alcohol sites?

In virtually all states, alcohol sales must be done in-person.

The deficit expanded during every Republican administration since Reagan. The deficit has shrunk under every Democratic administration since Reagan.

It's not a list like you seem to think. Charities signed up to be in the database, and then you picked an individual charity for your purchases.

Want local? Hit the "select charity" link and search for your city. Want a particular issue like affordable housing? Search for "affordable housing" and pick one you like.

As for US centric, well a program only available to US users, and is really an attempt to exploit US tax law, had mostly US charities.

No, because the Army literally asked the Apache for permission first.

Same with the other helicopters named after tribes.

They can't really value the RSUs, since the real value depends on the stock price when you sell it. Possibly when it vests, but that's going to also be in the future.
