That was my first thought.

C++ adds no value imho, but lots of PITA overhead.

It's better.

Microsoft is hedging the argument by hitting previously non-competitors, instead of their big competitor.
The reality is anti-trust laws need to be revised to separate platform from offerings-on-platform in tech.
If you have a platform, you shouldn't be able to ALSo sell things on that platform. Split the company. It removes conflicts of interest.

Just sayin.

Every time I tried the "surprise me" it just showed me shows I already saw on my normal netflix feed, which I didn't want to watch. It was a stupid feature. Good riddance.

Just ask China, their balloons have been recording all the cellular data :D

So a company offered a free service and now wants people to pay for it.
Moving on.

This is where the world is going. Get over it. Stop thinking throwing wooden shoes in the works will do anything.

Sorry, most people I know are already sick of superhero flicks.

I think they'll go away eventually, just like Westerns.

Boys are being raised getting their jollies on hentai and video games, they don't need girls. They are becoming recluses and less interested in seeking the opposite sex. The end result? Less population.

The burden of proof for financial transactions is completely ass-backwards.
It's on you to prove you DIDN'T do something, not on the banks to prove you DID.

Authorization/signatures is one place where public blockchain makes a lot of sense.
I've love to tell all the banks:

The only way I'm accepting financial liability for a contract for debt is if it has a signature for that contract on this public blockchain, with my key.

The burden of proof is back on them at that point. I have a cryptographic proof mechanism to approve these things, and anything else is fraud.

I can cherrypick things and show the same from Democrats as well.
There is no "Bad" party.
Thinking there is means you are part of the problem.
It doesn't matter the side you are on, vilifying the other side makes things non-functional.

And yet for all the flaws of capitalism, it's still the LEAST corrupt governing system.
I'd love something better.
We just haven't found it yet.
And for each toxic company you identify, I can find one that isn't toxic.
It's a spectrum, not just all bad.

Time to vote again? You have some delusion that the russian people actually have a democracy...
