I think the parody law would make this moot. Unless he's made to be selling something, I'd imagine him being a public figure would make the trademarks meaningless.

I keep thinking that I want to see a "parody" of "James Bond (007)" called "Chad Bond (00G)" that is effectively classic bond style, but American and not any more campy than the earlier bond films were. Just actually being a classic Bond style, instead of a "for modern audiences" reshaping.

Please say a prayer for the people of the Congo who will have to mine the cobalt we want.

Battery makers are moving away from cobalt. Tesla already switched half of their batteries to a version based on lithium iron phosphate (LFP) which does not contain cobalt.

As other comment wrote batteries are moving to cobalt free LFP. Now can it be said that we just rob the future from Congo by preventing them capitals from their cobalt?

With "the future from the Congo", you are talking about the people with control over the artisinal miners using guns, right?

There isn't enough cobalt supply despite these measures and so LFP is being used in lower range cars. No way I would buy one of those.

High income but also high competition.

I get that it's high competition, but once the price difference between two slices of pizza is a few coins it stops being a deciding factor for me.

I can't deploy my own developed app to my own devices permanently without paying $100/year.

Yes, I use Android.

I'm confused. Why not? Android lets you sideload.

If you want to develop on iPhone you need to pay to become a developer, $100/year. You can't just run whatever code you like on it.

Google is one-off $25 to publish on their store, but running your own code via sideload is free.

Yes, on iPhone. Parent said they used Android, hence my confusion.

Parent is saying "on iPhone I can't even install my own apps without paying $100, therefore I use (choose) Android".

This is a right to repair case and I hope McDonald's looses big time.

By "Said the oppposite" do you mean this part?:

> Think before you pick a database. If you insist on not thinking, pick PostgreSQL. Trust me.

No we won't. We can't see both sides of the comparison in this ethereal plane.

That applies to each and every decission. If we accept this argument, policy discussions are meaningless.

Let's be less theoretical: if Britain does much better than the EU it could be due to:

1) EU was bad for UK

2) The UK is abusing its new position (tax heaven, ...)

3) ??

If the UK does much worse than EU, this means:

1) EU was good for UK

2) EU is bullying UK

3) ??

So we'll be able to see what is happening.
