With massive decisions like this that fundamentally screw up the company's perception by clients, the CEO isn't the only one to look at, they're just the scapegoat.

Always need to see what happened with the rest of the Board of Directors. Are those the same people? The CEO works for the Board.

Don't mistake the infighting over something that actually matters, for an inability to bully each other into being an obstruction to anything the Democrats want. Not electing a speaker is just as effective obstruction as well. As long as they don't actually want to pass anything on their side, it's arguably even more effective. And that's their purpose. The current Republican platform is to be the exact opposite of the Dems, and whatever blurts out of Trump's mouth at the moment.

They don't like each other, but they stand together being a wall for anything the Dems want to pass, regardless of what it is. At this point they'd probably vote against a nationwide abortion ban at conception with no exceptions if the Dems introduced the bill.

This is exactly what it is. It is not enabled by default, a developer has to specifically enable it. Meaning the developer wants to force you through the Play Store for whatever reason they may have.

Because politics isn't simple in reality, there are a lot of different reasons things are approved or not that may not even be relevant to the actual issue at hand.

On top of that, the parties are very different on how they handle things. The Republican party generally will fall in line as a group, they treat politics very simply. Seemingly because they all have closets overflowing with skeletons that they're all hiding for each other and they'll be exposed if they don't follow the group. You're either part of the group and they'll defend you at all costs, or they tear will you apart.

The Democratic party on the other hand are like herding cats. They might be working towards the same general goal, maybe, but they won't just fall in line because the group says they should.

For all we know it could have been requested years ago by developers who have apps that get pirated but there was no mechanism in place to implement it at the time, and wasn't a priority.

Just because it's beneficial to Google maintaining more direct control now, that doesn't necessarily mean that's the origin.

Not that it matters here specifically, fuck Walmart. But don't assume that just because a feed on a public screen is blank, that it isn't being recorded or actively viewed elsewhere.

More likely because it has nothing to do with the topic of discussion.

Some people seem to forget that younger generations get older too.

It's complicated, and Congress is taking advantage of that to keep him there. The nine-member United States Postal Service Board of Governors has sole authority to fire, and hire, the Postmaster General. At the moment there are only 7 members, 3 Dems, 3 Reps, 1 Ind. 6 members are required for a quorum.

Biden has 2 pending nominations and a pending reappointment of an existing governor. There are still 2 governors remaining from Trump's administration at this point. The Senate confirmed 3 seats in July 2021 and 2 seats in May 2022, and nothing since. They seem to be doing the absolute bare minimum to intentionally delay any possible changes.

Note that these are not full time government positions like the Postmaster. They only meet once a month usually.

This has almost nothing to do with Google, it's a feature that has to be enabled by the app developer. Meaning they want to exclude users getting the APK for their app from elsewhere.

Surprised they haven't implemented the body lottery from Cyberpunk in real life somewhere.

Look up the Kei trucks. There are a lot of them available if you're willing to figure out transportation/pickup/delivery after import.
