Shouldn't be allowing language in kernel that doesn't have a standard.
Even before Rust, the kernel wasn't written to ISO C, but to GNU C (there's plenty of quotes from Linus to that effect).
Rust does not make deadlocks safe (they cannot be). Rather, it disallows some ways of structuring your code and will then refuse to compile your code until you've written it in a way that the compiler can prove that a deadlock (or memory error, or other types of error) cannot occur. That can sometimes make Rust code much harder to write, but the benefit is that you can be much more aggressive at using threads because you don't have to "play it safe because of the risk of errors".
Europe is not "forcing" Apple to do anything. Apple is not the victim of an Orwellian government shoving committee-formed standards and practices on a forign corporation. Soldiers aren't arriving at Apple manufacturing facilities with boxes of USB-C ports and shouting at workers in German to install these or else.
Europe is "requiring" every cell phone manufacturer to comply with a universal charging standard in order to sell phones in Europe. This is no different from Europe requiring Apple to comply with European radio transmission laws or to manufacture phones for ROHS compliance to prevent mercury from entering landfills.
Apple is not "forced" to do anything, they could shrug and withdraw from the European market. You're likely reading this and thinking, "why would they give up such a valuable market?" and you've come to the core of the issue. Apple profits from selling proprietary chargers and cables, and they continue to profit by changing those every couple years. Apple, almost single-handedly, created the need for this regulation.
This kind of ongoing inflammatory language is why Bloomberg isn't a respectable news agency.
From my (limited) understanding, I think dark matter would have to interact with *something* other than gravity, or else it would be massless and hence go flying at the speed of light and be unable to clump together in galaxies. That something could be (hopefully) the Higgs but I guess it could also be some kind of "fifth force" that doesn't interact with normal matter, in which case we're still going to have a hard time detecting it.
Lying, deluded, possibly both and neither. There are things that can bring cheaper energy prices but that isn't the only thing that can effect an economy.
In general, I'm not a fan of Keynesian economics but I won't deny some things will alter the economy artificially.
I attribute my success to intelligence, guts, determination, honesty, ambition, and having enough money to buy people with those qualities.
