Problem is, the physical poles to run the lines and the maintenance of that infrastructure is public. Comcast physically can not enter an area without government assistance because there is no way they would be able to privately obtain enough land to set themselves up.
We are talking about family court here, they are kinda the mirror bizzaro world version of the US legal system. I still see cases referencing 16th century english common law in decisions.
As someone who both knows stalking victims and been one, no, stalking and normal fascination look nothing alike in real life. They look similar on TV but mostly because the writers sprinkle pixy dust on the recipient to ensure a ratings friendly response. There are people in real life who try to emulate these tropes and think they are being romantic, but there is rarely any question in the subject's mind and any attempt to communicate this is written off by the stalker as playing hard to get.
Shared assets yes, but something like a car may or may not fall into that category depending on the paperwork. I know plenty of married couples who have separate finances and outside the house there is a pretty bright line regarding who owns what.
This is pretty jurisdiction dependent. Even from city to city within the same state laws can vary. There is no national '50/50' rule even by a long shot.
I can not help but notice how many of the communities rail against banks implement the same behavior in BTC related services. It is almost like they simply want to be the ones doing it an are bitter someone else is already.
For any given project it is hard to say how difficult the upgrade is. For our's it was not a simple matter of running 2to3.
More generally though, upgrades like this not only take time, but require proper validation and testing afterwards. Granted I am talking about professional rather then hobby projects, ones that you have a budget department that you are answerable to and customers who care when results change.
So upgrades can be costly for projects, then add to that the rather minimal advantages of moving to 3, ones that do not really contribute to an improved final product in terms of functionality nor cost to produce more changes. And when cost outstrips benifit, you shouldn't do it.
Depending on things like local climate and how many of your appliances are electric (as opposed to gas), yeah, it is not unusual for power usage to come out that way.
Pretty badly. My project has pushed back upgrading for something like 5 years now and it is doubtful we ever will. The only thing that could push us over is if something project we depend on switches exclusively to it, and scientific python libraries show little interest in doing that.
I phrase I picked up years ago seems to apply here, 'standard is better then the best solution'. It is not a culture of 'worse is better', but of competing interests where the pure joy of developing languages is not the primary metric for determining what the best course of action is.
This is why Python3 is still struggling. It is great if you are writing new stuff from scratch, but a real pain if you have an existing code base that is doing work. Incompatible compiler changes increase the barrier to upgrading since developers (and schedules) need an increasingly large incentive to justify the time and energy, esp when even minor (supposedly compatible) updates are already risky and potentially time consuming endeavors.
I am kinda with you on that 'actual problems' issue. C++ would be a good language if they focused on minimal changes that address real issues instead of designers seeming to add stuff for the sake of designing. Maintenance is never sexy I guess.
And yet C++ is not a strict superset of C and thus compatibility has been broken for decades anyway. Meanwhile ObjectiveC, which did keep to a 'strict superset' pattern has remained a pretty clean language. The problem with C++ is not C compatibility but of trying to keep expanding it to include new and incompatible patterns or indecision regarding which patterns to use. Stoustrup wants C++ to be the mega language including all features of every other language, THAT makes it a mess.
What I find ironic in the 'laughed at' comment is they often include Columbus, who deserved to be laughed at. Though I guess he makes a good hero for many.. he was anti-intellectual, stubborn, did not listen to well thought out arguments, yet still through sheer luck managed to become extremely wealthy. He is proof that you will be remembered as 'right' no matter how wrong you were, as long as you made boatloads of money afterwards.
Lists like this, including "morality clauses", are always fascinating and depressing to see. There are many activities of questionable morality, and they can only focus on so many. I suspect things like "speeding" and "sexual harassment" are not on the list for instance.
That is actually kinda what cases like this are about, non-humans having limited legal rights as entities (as opposed to property) within the legal framework. I think there was another one winding its way through the system having to do with donations and if the ownerless chimp could legally accept them (with through a legal guardian) to fund transfer to a preserve.
Even for english speakers, all it takes is one or two unicode characters you need to start a very bad day. I can recall a project I was working on that needed a whole pile of work arounds to deal with occasional umlauts that terminals could not handle.
I think a lot of people are in favor of something better then the VT system, crow I can recall arguments about moving it to user space back in the 90s, so it is probably long overdue.
The anger is more at the idea of systemd being the replacement since that ties yet another piece of core functionality into its ecosystem, and that makes people uncomfortable.

Nah, at this point the supervictims are middle class white men.
Once you drop the idea of owning your partner, they become pretty simple relationships.

It is amazing what lengths people will go to when a simple solution would be something like poly or open relationships.

People have a habit of actually leaving their house now and then.

Meh, wake me up when they develop a spherical reactor with an even distribution of plasma.

A house? Not really. At US voltages that is only around 16A
The problem is that testing it properly involves opening up the box, which he is not allowing people to do.
