Then you get USians complaining about the rest of the world freeloading and non-USians complaining that they're not getting paid.

Depends on the model. Wix (the Windows installer builder, not the website builder) has switched to a model whereby the source is always available for free but they charge for compiled binaries.

I assume my phone is less secure than my desktop, because it's less frequently updated and probably a preferential target.

the part where one side admits that Hamas and the Ayotallah are really the bad guys

That phrasing implies that their opponents are the good guys. Real life isn't as simple as fairytales aimed at pre-adolescent children. Hamas and Khamenei have both performed indefensible actions, and so have Netanyahu and Trump.

That's not how he tells it. He says he invented it after independently inventing insertion sort and realising that he wanted something subquadratic. He was "in college" in the sense that he was a postgraduate student. Mergesort had been published more than a decade before, but it had the disadvantage of not being in place.

Selling advertising.

And wildlife isn't having its circadian rhythms sufficiently disrupted by manmade lighting.

Bigger by what metric? Europe has more population and more land area than the USA.

I regularly have problems with .pptx but it's because it doesn't embed the fonts so layout frequently breaks when you move between computers.

My question was more whether the listing was due to one of the previous dictatorships ending due to a war. I need to study Argentinian history at some point.

When you say "Argentina", what do you mean precisely? It's had a lot of militaristic dictatorships followed by at least nominal democracy, but I assume you're referring to the most recent one. However, the Falklands war was more a symptom of the collapse than the cause, and didn't lead to an invasion of territory controlled by Argentina before the outbreak of war. I can't understand why you consider it a "clear example". I'd put it in a third category: militaristic dictatorships which collapse involuntarily under domestic popular pressure. Salazar's Portugal would also go in that category, whereas post-Franco Spain is a missing example from your second category.

They already do require visas to stay longer than 90 days.

Programming isn't coding. Programming is the activity of making programs: coding is expressing data in the form expected by a process. While it's true that programs are data, coding is a pretty small part of programming and a much larger part of certain data entry jobs. (To take an extreme example, there are jobs advertised which primarily consist of coding medical records in HL7).

The internet was just coming into being when I was a young teenager. I know that the internet is a vastly different beats these days

Yep, no need to remember bang paths any more.

the Queen better watch her fucking back

Sorry to disappoint you, but Liz Truss beat you to it.
