Did he read the license? Seems odd for a lawyer that he would not even mention this, even if he thinks it does not matter that would be good to know for context.

But you'd think the idiots at Google would understand that when a user manually removes a file, it means they don't want it (that's called "uninstall", since you're obviously clueless)
I really hope you don't consider removing a file the same as uninstalling. Be careful what you call clueless.

Anyone expecting corporations to not try to make a profit and extract maximum value for their shareholders ignore that that's their fiduciary duty.
Fortunately they're exempt from any ethical duty.
There are specific "ethical funds" which you are free to put all your personal pension savings into.

Agreed completely. If a parent helps the kid register, there shouldn't be any problem here. Working as intended as far as I'm concerned.
A case could even be made these are the most responsible parents. They know what their kids are doing and are paying attention (as opposed to their kids doing it behind their back, or the parents simply not caring). Good on them.
And as a bonus, the kids are learning at a young age that government is frequently an impediment to life that needs to be worked around. That lesson will serve them well for life.

All the more reason not to belittle them.
That's like overlooking Joseph-Ignace Guillotin, a death penalty abolitionist's role in inventing the machine named after himself.
Did not work out so well for Louis XVI either.

The funny thing is that nobody (!) has a working SMR prototype (except maybe the Chinese, but details are scarce and there are no cost estimates) and nobody has any realistic cost estimates.
Its going to be nice to be first in the G7 then. Ours here in Canada continue along on time and on budget.

A lot of these devices just need one grizzled old hacker to maintain them (as in the plural, one programmer, multiple legacy devices.)
A grizzled old hacker who actually needs these devices themselves. Otherwise your grizzled hacking skills are still better used elsewhere.

Because 90% of the actual discussion ad business is done outside of the meeting in informal settings, often in a chance meeting. That's hard to do in Zoom
So Zoom is not suitable for their meetings, and it is also not suitable for my vacation. At least we all agree on the importance of regular air travel. Not that anyone feels guilty anyway.
