Simple piraciy is not even the worst possible outcome. Without copyright, nothing stops one from simply selling a book under their own name. Big publishers could just reprint anything and get it into brick & mortar stores. No money for

I use an European made computer from Schenker (their XMG subbrand actually). Of course the components are not European made. But Dell's components are not US made either. I can also buy a Japanese or Korean (or Chinese) computer. There

Do you apply the same scrutiny to the food you eat? Some trust has to be created through testing standards and the law, but generally we do believe what the label says in day to day life.

It's already happening. Coal use in the US was up 15% in H1/25 compared to the previous year. Partially due to a shift from higher prices gas. Coal retirement in the US is almost entirely driven by economics. If someone needs the

Both Apple Music and Tidal (and Google Music, Amazon) can afford to lose money as long as leadership want the service to stay online. I don't think it's sustainable for musicians to rely on cross financing via other services or VC

Unreal Engine actually switched to C++20 with their next release (preview available). I was quite surprised to read this in their roadmap, as Unreal's codebase is quite massive and also uses some custom build tools.
