My hypothesis: They are preparing to compete with Steam, and to do so they need to have a compelling argument to make PC gamers consider their store instead of Steam. EPIC became relevant by giving free games for years; Sony will build an exclusives' portfolio and then launch its own store. As this store will be available only where PSN already is, they probably don't want to commit to keep the game working on these countries after migrating from Steam, so better to not sell now to avoid headaches later.

I think the situation has improved, but still far from perfect. Last time I used robocop and Python to build some tests. But that's not something I use often, so there may be better options available.

The capitalism system is design to maximize and prioritize profit above everything else, and will do it if there's no resistance.

If put ads inside peoples' ass increases profits, companies would try for sure.

Institutional investors should not be permitted to buy residencial properties.

Someone who hords houses.

If you have an beach house that you uses every year, and rents it when it's not using or you have one second house that you got from a deceased family member... If you need to work to maintain this second house...

That's fine. It will not cause a inflation on the house market, it's not just an investment.

In my city (not in US), there are a booming market of very small apartments that rich people buy just to protect their money from inflation. As result, higher prices, less units available for the general public, and the new units that are available are terrible.

The malicious code is not on the source itself, it's on tests and other files. The building process hijacks the code and inserts the malicious content, while the code itself is clean, So the co-manteiner was able to keep it hidden in plain sight.

A couple of them were happy stories. Not an easy feat.

Fire domestication happened before our species even existed. Who ever did it, made us possible. Great answer.
