It is not clear it could have been passed if it did try to deal with it at the time. International treaties are about long term compromise and consensus building, and no one tends to get everything they want, and a future addendum might be able to address plastic.

Actually, not for all. While steam being 64-bit would be good (and likely will happen at some point (it is already true for Apple systems)), some games themselves need 32-bit libraries, and unless steam ships the libraries themselves, the games will not run. If Canonical dropped 32-bit libraries, Valve would need to provide the 32-bit libraries for the 32-bit games (and then steam would also have access to those libraries).

As long as distros continue to do the work to build 32-bit libraries, why should they? Canonical (as one of the largest desktop distributions) needs to announce the end of multiarch as a forcing function to see it happen (FWIW, some enterprise distributions have entirely dropped 32-bit libraries, but those are not expected to be used for desktop gaming).

I'm shocked! Shocked, to learn there is drug dealing going on on social media platforms. Round up the usual suspects!

Because you can never be too rich or too thin?

Back office functions (HR, Finance, etc.) are typically one of the first things to be combined after M&A. Most of the back office functions are standard (in some cases regulatorily standard) across all industries, so combining them eliminates a number of duplicate functions, and as such, achieves some of the promised "synergies" (i.e. layoffs) across some existing staff. Everyone in those back office positions know this from every other M&A that they have been part of (RH itself acquired some companies, and combined back office functions in the past).

And this is why we can't have nice things.

The controller manufacturer that was reportedly most commonly involved (Phison) also released a statement saying they can't reproduce the reported failures.

Revoking the developers keys suggests there is more to the story than just an app store removal. I doubt Apple is going to share details about the why they performed the revocation.

I had thought Russia was planning to move most rocket launches to the Vostochny Cosmodrome which is fully within Russian territory (moving mostly to avoid depending on the lease in Kazakhstan). A new launch platform was the time to move.

The only winners will be the lawyers.

It is the "only the dumb criminals get caught" argument. However, with enough time and effort even the smarter ones will be eventually be found out and provide a new record.

While one can suggest the we should be beyond that, ego drives a lot of (especially male) choices (and the African nations do tend to be male dominated).

Paypal works with a network of different banks across the locations and currencies and transaction types it operates with. In some locations (and/or currencies and/or transaction types) there may not be many options. Since Paypal only makes money if you can spend money, I suspect they would really like to find a solution and would be working on it. That does not mean they can actually find a solution, or can implement one quickly.

Nolan has said repeatedly that digital IMAX is not equal to film IMAX. Maybe he will change his mind at some point, but not today.
