My guess is that it will be a “nature highway” so migratory species can cross over the road

And get what money? The money’s spent, it’s gone, and the directors not getting another big payday like this ever again. They can spend $10k on lawyers to get the $216 in his checking account.

In what universe does Linux run on 99% of mobile devices? Android is nowhere near 99% market share, and iPhones are not and never have been based on Linux.

“Grandest” is not a synonym for “best”. The sheer scale of the things you can build in DSP makes it grander than any other game I can think of in any genre, and that description doesn’t speak to the quality of the game.

Local elections are the time. That’s it, that’s the answer. Third parties have to build up heavy momentum in smaller elections and only then build up to bigger ones, and eventually the big chair.

Doing very little at the local level and making a big splash once every four years is not a strategy for public policy or even for public debate, it’s solely a strategy for fundraising.

So a plumbing business which books appointments via their nothing-customized Squarespace page, that’s a tech company? And you would think it appropriate if a news story about that plumber causing a water main break being posted to a technology news feed?

Having a website does not make a company a tech company and you are objectively wrong if you think it does.

Is the implication that any business you access via a web browser or app is a tech company? Boy do I have news for you about literally every business
