It was a question, and it was prompted because your reasoning was "Linux is the largest piece of software in the Android stack that Google doesn't control", which shows a fundamental lack of understanding.
Yes, they can and they do contribute but the can't control what others do with Linux or its complete design and overall direction as they can obviously do with something they develop themselves and the kernel in Fuchsia.
As I mentioned, they can fork Linux if they want to control the entire direction of the project for their own purposes.
The only reason to develop Fuchsia is so you can foist a completely black box spyware OS on billions of devices.
These aren't conscious efforts. Sentience is a form of specialized nerve awareness
Neither consciousness nor sentience have objective definitions. Neither phenomena has an actual physical explanation. Thus, you cannot determine what is or is not conscious, sentient, etc.
Google has enough money and resources to write something to the same level as Linux.
No it doesn't. Money can hire people, but they'd need to hire the right people, keep them there and interested, kick out all the troublemakers, and be a fucking business for 5 years minimum to get a new OS cobbled together well enough for a public outing.
Google doesn't have the attention span to see such a project through. Google doesn't have the backbone to tell the millennial snowflakes within to fuck off while they hire people who know what they're doing. Google doesn't have the ability to attract such talent anymore aside from throwing piles and piles of money at them. Even then, how long will someone with the skills necessary to work on something like this subject themselves to Google? The more you pay them the quicker they can say "Fuck it, I'm out.". The people who have these skills tend to be older, and many are already retired. They don't want to and don't need to put up with the "image" or "culture" Google shrouds itself in, and wouldn't stand the turmoil and bullshit that goes on internally. Hell, many would object on an ethical standpoint.
Google would be better off creating a new company, distancing it far, far away from Google, Alphabet, etc., giving it the funds and the time to get shit done, then bringing them / what they produce back into the fold. It'll be great for a while after they buy it, then it'll slowly but surely turn to shit or be killed off entirely. See 90% of all Google's projects.
Might as well suggest that HP/IBM/Oracle can return to the glory days just by investing and hiring. A fish rots from the head down.
No, that's the bullshit line they use for cameras. The best note taking device is paper and pen/pencil. A runner up is a real keyboard. Behind that is dictation you later transcribe (or have someone else transcribe). You also have your digits and your asshole with you all the time. Why isn't sticking your finger up there then smearing shit on your forearm the best note taking device? (Hint: It's not because poop smells, it's because the usability and the end result is awful.)
As far as handwriting recognition goes, old blackberry devices, older tablets, the fucking Nintendo DS, etc. had it down great. It's not the device, it's the clowns making shitty software and trying to reinvent the wheel as an afterthought to MOBILE FIRST fluff and AGILE DEVOPS wankery.
Tax dodging. Define it as incorporating (directly or indirectly via a parent/holding/etc. corporation) in a nation in which the CxOs, board members, etc. and their immediate families do not physically reside for at least 51% of the year or in which they do not claim citizenship, or in a nation whose individual (citizen) and incorporated investors do not control a plurality of voting shares of the company.
Thus, to incorporate in a country you must have all the higher ups and their families LIVING in that country as CITIZENS for most of the year, and all voting stock must be held within that country. No shell games either. Google gets the most restrictive set of rules and highest tax rates that would apply to Google OR Alphabet OR any of its "holding companies" OR anything like Google China.
You know, the same kind of shit a regular person working/living across state/national borders has to deal with.
Devices were putting themselves in danger by not having basic electrical protection on the ports. In 90s, this was such a common (and commonly solved) problem that the Tawainese motherboard manufacturers listed all sorts of per-USB-port short, over voltage, over current, etc. protections on the box.
It became a problem again with USB 3 because the first players to the market with USB controllers didn't learn their lesson from the USB 1.0/1.1 days. There's absolutely no reason a bad USB cable should be able to kill an entire device. At worst, it should kill a single port. Ideally, it would have a replaceable/resettable fuse so you don't even lose the port.
Pretty words; but here in the real-world, things are not always so neat and tidy...
Still not so much fun for us laptop owners. And too many micro-fuses on Ports are neither easily replaceable nor resettable.
There are electronic fuse designs you can reset with a switch. There are physical fuse designs that reset when they cool down. This is ancient fucking technology in the electronics world.
I don't know how Tesla fanbois do it. Back when I had Ford stock, I felt absolutely no need to hang onto every bit of news or meticulously watch the ticket. It was pretty boring when those dividends just kept coming in like clockwork.
People with brand new Teslas are having to send them back to the factory to get fixed for incredibly obvious shit. This is a trend that spiked in December.
Sales went up because they absolutely gutted quality control in order to roll out more vehicles before the end of the year. I'd bet my life on it being a deliberate move to placate moronic investors who still swallow the the tripe and believe the hype. Oh, you wanted us to manufacture X number of ACCEPTABLE cars? Give us another year to get those numbers up.

Steam takes 30%, the same as the historical retailer average. Remember when one of the selling points of digital distribution was that it would be cheaper?
Epic made their own infrastructure to handle Fortnite, and decided that they, too, could run a store. They decided 12% would be profitable. And if you use their game engine and publish on their store, they waive the 5% fee for using the engine.
Valve got wind of this and, just before Epic's new storefront was publicly unveiled, offered up a laughable tiered structure where they would tale smaller cut if you reached 10 million or 50 million in sales. That smaller cut was still bigger than the 12% Epic is taking. (And my guess would be that it's progressive, like taxes, so Steam takes 30% until you reach the next tier, then the lower cut only on sales above the threshold.)
TL;DR: Steam is dead. Discord is trying to bandwagon on Epic's win.
No one has ever been able to detail how entangling particles helps anything with regards to encryption or key sharing.
If you pass out entangled particles to a set of people, all you gain is the ability to know the state of their particle as soon as you look at yours. (And you could have done that at the time you distributed the particles - there's no FTL transfer of information, and no breaking of causality.)
If you are able to securely pass out entangled particles, you are able to securely pass out convention particles describing a conventional key. If you are not able to securely pass out entangled particles, you're not gonna do much, are you?

Yes, yes, Mr. Mueller. We believe you. Take all the time you need with that report.
Are you retarded?
Google can contribute to Linux. Google can fork Linux.
Unlubed natural latex or lambskin condoms for making small batches of sausage? Just remove them after the initial cooking, obviously.
Intel Macs, after all, were capable of running PowerPC applications, but that doesn't mean they were *intended* to run them...and they weren't.
Ah, so early Intel Macs were able to run PowerPC applications UNINTENTIONALLY? It was an unexpected side effect? A random occurrence? A bug?
Whatever they call it (ART/Dalvik/etc.), we all know it's a ripoff of someone's JVM.

It's dead, and it's going to get deadder. The new CEO has the "mobile-first" cancer in his brain.
George Maharis already took care of this with Fake Block.
Going down the glowy blue CGI mess, you mean.
Those movies were so fucking awful.
If they're so smart, home come they're dead^w still flailing around trying to patch this shit?

It's all doable, but the USB IF chose to not care, yet again.
Modern USB (3/3.1/3.2 Gen 1/2/.../C/PD/etc.) is a fucking joke.
the nationwide average of federal and state gasoline taxes is about 50 cents/gallon
Man, fuck my state.
I don't know how Tesla fanbois do it. Back when I had Ford stock, I felt absolutely no need to hang onto every bit of news or meticulously watch the ticket.
It was pretty boring when those dividends just kept coming in like clockwork.
Do you know how rare a thing a successful automaker startup is?
Well it's precisely 1/N less common than you think it is.
If style mattered, people wouldn't buy Mazda 3s, Priuses, or any Scion.
