I don't know about fish, but at least in humans it would be surprising since even organ transplants get rejected by the immune system. What are these cancer cells doing to evade the immune system? By not looking like cells at all?

The other ones just redirect to the .com and were only bought to protect trademarks, sometimes after having the domain forcibly removed from some other scammer. So they won't appear in search results.

I'm still waiting for .exe so we can stop living in the past.

Don't a lot of the newer TLDs reserve a lot of these and then sell them at high prices?

Ok, but that's sort of a No True Scotsman of politicians in general.

Windows still hasn't put in a utility to control brightness over the DDC/CI protocol. Laptops, you can adjust brightness natively but despite this technically being possible for external displays, you have to have a utility to enable it.

Notably, this list does not include consumers who will identify it as a recycling symbol with a number in it. The plastics industry came up with the idea and then convinced governments to adopt the symbol, fully knowing what it would imply to consumers.

There is a lot of shady "somebody else's problem" to deal with lately. There is zero reason for a Bitcoin ATM to exist at a supermarket or laundromat. 99.9% of their profit comes from enabling fraud.

I think the important thing is that repressive regimes also want to use these tools. The guardrails have to be pretty broad to protect all parties.

As if he would give any company to someone with only half his DNA. We'll find out about his clone at just the necessary moment.

Which includes not just current profit, but future potential liabilities. The accessibility example is something that they could get fined for in some markets.

How could you even secure an open standard that allows read access? All anyone has to do is fork their own viewer without the self-imposed restrictions.

Illustrator files are almost based on a standard. Older Illustrator was based on Postscript and newer Illustrator files are PDF files You can literally rename a modern Illustrator file to .PDF and be able to read it. The old ones can be renamed to EPS. PDF is at least a sort of open standard now, EPS was at least standardized and published.

Back when Word supported EPS files, you couldn't just embed an AI file as a graphic because Word had bad bounding box handling and it would get cut off weirdly.
