You can't think of a single situation where an airline route is infinitely better and probably the only viable option ? Btw you don't need to completely disregard other modes of transport to appreciate bus :)

May be they want to sell it to law enforcement as a model that can identify suspicious activities. It needs to know how and why something is suspicious to flag. or its just lets gobble everything and figure out the guardrails later kind of

The media industry loves to quote ridiculous numbers on lost revenue due to piracy etc. May be a rough ballpark numbers will get them to do something about this theft . Can someone put a rough estimate on potential revenue loss (direct and

So, after Windows cleanup announcement nobody at Github thought "may be we should review all our copilot integrations to avoid another embarrassment for MS" ? That shows either it was just a Windows org announcement and not a cult

What if the "same wage" as Chinese/Indians nets you close to the same basic necessities and purchasing power as those countries.

There's also xeus-cpp which is cpp based on wasm. Xeus-cpp and pyodide are the backends for Jupyterlite [1] kernels in browser. It's actually a very good way to teach coding in python/c++(11, 17 or even 23), explore language
