This is the age old pattern used by established monopolies or oligopolies. See the purchase of Lyft, investment in Uber, the purchase of Foxpro, how the oil and gas industry purchases wildcat operators as just a few examples. If you have a large amount of cash and are too large to innovate, buy the innovation before someone else does and threatens your business.
How do they get money to start up? "Gee Mr. Investor/Banker I want to spend a huge amount of money designing tools and contracting and/or building factories in hopes of selling an expensive product in a saturated market where demand for premium products has not been proven".
Voting with your dollar only works if you have a choice. If all companies have headed into the downward "cut costs at an costs" spiral then you have no real choice.
The cheapest way to produce large amounts of hydrogen is by hydrocarbon fractionation This process starts with, wait for it, natural gas. It also produces CO2 which is a powerful greenhouse gas.
Don't be clever. Most of us aren't paid to be clever. Follow the KISS principle. Be kind to the maintenance programmers and keep classes and methods short and to the point. After all the maintenance programmer might be you. Methods more than 1 screen in size are suspect. Avoid lasagna code.
Nuclear, oil, gas, and coal are also massively subsidized in the US (often times in the form of, if you don't mind the phrase, dirt cheap mineral leases), in many ways. If all those subsidies were removed only then could we say which is cheaper.

Matched exactly? Oh really?
I would call it closer to Goofy

That's a tough sell.

I think those are topics for further research. Good groundbreaking research often opens the door to exploring new lines of inquiry.
Does this have any implications for electromagnetic fields produced by power lines? Just a thought.
The sarcasm is strong in this one.

And professionalism. Then again, most programmers aren't professionals so the whining is not unexpected.

Just a few rules I try to use.
Right which is why we need to build missile bases on the moon and Mars immediately
Haven't these been around for a while? Is this news?
Based on Bowie and the entire Glam rock scene of the early 70's .

I likes "Kooks".
And maybe even the Diamond Dogs.
T Rex immediately comes to mind as does Steelyeye Span, Funkadelic, and Fairport Convention.
Kieth Richards as Gollum. :)
If so it could be hepatitis related.
Will it find life there?

Don't waste your time with the American series.
