India doesn't need to launch satellites, they have more than enough material to study at home. There are so many "black holes" of corruption!

Funny, as a European, I could say the exact same thing about the US... Heck, I could say that about almost any country, but not my own filthy rich country. We do have a space program though.
No, those kids are not your kids, Mr. American. They don't have the stuff, or live in your type of house. I know Americans and their wasteful lifestyles, their entitled and spoiled kids, the crap they buy, and how they're driving or driven everywhere. I know my American relatives well you see, and they all consume extremely much. When they visit, they're always a bit surprised to see how we live. No Starbucks or McD where I live, we walk everywhere, etc.
Those Portuguese kids probably use a lot less than you and your kids, in every sense, as the average European uses less. Portugal is a pretty poor country as well. Those idealist kids care enough to actually live the lifestyle they preach, they buy little, care for what they have, don't fly, etc. Have you ever taken a bus [as an adult]?
I know similar kids, it's hard to understand for old guys that have everything.
No, cancer is being researched and handled by the government. Unlike cancer, climate change is not being handled sufficiently, according to this lawsuit. This is the responsibility of the governments under existing law.
The kids will gladly study and help find solutions if only the government(s) will do their part. The governments will have to create the financing for the research and jobs that will develop solutions. However, it's the governments that have to write the budgets, laws, and make real changes and reforms in the country. You expect governments to act on known problems, and they're not doing enough.
I don't expect the kids will win, but it's not impossible. The laws were written to safeguard life and liberty, but if your life is threatened, the courts may expand the scope to include areas the original authors didn't imagine.
I'm not surprised that people act the same way in the US and Australia. People are people after all.
In my country, housing associations are very common, but they have a professional, non-profit organization backing them (nationally/regionally). It's a system that was established almost a century ago. It's usually run by the owners themselves (democratically elected board) or the partly by the association. The board gets help from the association to collect fees, financial management, legal assistance, etc.
We've established laws that gives owners rights and duties, and maintenance is obligatory. The local associations can create their own policies and rules, but they have to abide by the law. The owners/shareholders keep their boards in line, but the board also has to balance people's desire for lower monthly fees or new features.
This means older buildings can have a common debt in the millions or almost nothing, as they constantly renew and maintain the apartments (replacing bathrooms in particular) or the building's structure/exterior, parking garages, EV chargers, etc. Maintenance fees are usually affordable considering they cover insurance, cable TV/Internet, cleaning, maintenance and so on.
Tesla Bjorn from Norway has just the video(s) for you. He has driven EVs for 10 years now. His reports on actual performance during winter come with data, tips and opinions. He gives honest reviews (major int'l brands).

I would agree, if devs were the intended audience/market, but they're not.
The apps are obviously going to get developed, based on what we read in this article, and how Apple will provide it for *free* to attractive prospects (https://developer.apple.com/visionos/developer-kit/). Apple just needs a few good apps for the demos to kick-start the market anyway. Apple marketing is just that good.
Unlike the competition, Apple is targeting a completely different demographic; wealthier people, not gamers. That is obviously smart of them, considering the "prestige" it will earn them, and the limited numbers they can sell at first.
Apple is trying hard to be a luxury brand and this will just cement this product's status before the masses can even buy it. People go crazy for anything that will give them that faux rich look or cred. Once Apple gets mass production going there will already be a market waiting.
The article says they're going to develop it further together and expand? I would assume he's not actually leaving the company. Usually, you don't get all of the money unless you stay for a time, or it's shares and dependent on future results, etc.
You don't have to name things using their initials.
The amount of lead is probably extremely small, and not aerosolized. I very much doubt that's a problem. Also, they have to qualify under the EU's RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment), that has become the norm for the global market.
At least his body is improving naturally: "Moreover, after a year in treatment, he began noticing clear improvements in his movement without the aid of the brain-spine interface".
These Swiss researchers have held TED talks for many years now. They've demonstrated parts of it over the last couple of years. It should be widely known, but the masses probably only read Elon's tweets. The strange thing is that the American news stories (TV) rarely ever mention that the technology was developed in another country. It's something I've noticed over the years.
You assume that a Swedish warrant has to say what they're looking for. I used Google to translate a relevant text:
"Unlike a record of a seizure, the record of a house search will not include the decision to search the house itself, as these are drawn up on separate occasions.
In addition to the content of the decision, it must also be stated who made the decision and the time of this. A decision on the house search is of course drawn up before the measure has been taken. When a house search is concluded, a record must be kept according to ch. 28. Section 9 RB. The protocol must state the purpose of the investigation, as well as what occurred during the search.
Regarding the purpose of the measure, it has been considered sufficient [by Swedish courts] that it is stated what the purpose is; e.g. searching for items to be seized.
It is common for the grounds for the house search to be indicated by ticking pre-specified grounds for on a house search form. This can lead to the reasons stated in the protocol not being consistent with the reasons for the decision on the house search stated in the decision.
The person affected by the house search has the opportunity to learn about the circumstances surrounding the investigation and also information about the crime to which the suspicion relates.
Because a house search must not be used as a means of surveillance crime, the JO has expressed that it is of particular importance that the crime or crimes to which the suspicion relates are fully stated in the protocol."
The old crony seems to be you! As for cronyism, that's America's main feature. The EU on the other hand actually works for free competition and properly functioning markets! Americans talk a lot of about freedom, but they don't seem to recognize it.
That's the whole point! The EU is asking for measures that would preserve competition. What is wrong with Americans? You talk about free markets, but you don't understand it. Broadcom has the opportunity to reply to the Commission's objections.
"A Statement of Objections is a formal step in an investigation, where the Commission informs the companies concerned in writing of the objections raised against them. The sending of a Statement of Objections does not prejudge the outcome of the investigation. Broadcom now has the opportunity to reply to the Commission's Statement of Objections, to consult the Commission's case file and to request an oral hearing."
"The vast majority of notified mergers do not pose competition problems and are cleared after a routine review."
An authority is a person who can tell you more about something than you really care to know.
