August 6th 1945: a small forgotten shrine in Hiroshima gets obliterated by the nuclear blast of Little Boy. This was one of the seven shrines holding the fabrics of spacetime together. Slowly spacetime starts to unravel, in the beginning nothing seems unusual but slowly the timeline becomes more and more unlikely. Can our hero stop the unraveling in time?

There are plenty of companies that never pay dividends, yet people buy them.
II struggled with this as well for a while. You can look at it this way, they are worth money because they could pay dividends, but they don't actually have to. Your bar of gold is worth a certain amount of money equal to the money you could sell it for, and your money is worth something because you could buy something with it.
Because that's how the stock market works, the price of a stock is the current value of assets (including cash) + expected earnings (with some correction factors for risk and time). If the company pays out $x of cash it's $x worth less. You might not always see it it the stock price because expected future dividend payments are also already priced in.
How do you think it works?
Imagine you have 10 stocks worth $10 each.
Scenario 1: There is $1 dividend per stock. You now have 10 stocks worth $9 each for a total of $90 in stocks and $10 in cash.
Scenario 2: There is no dividend but you decide to sell 1 stock, you now have 9 stocks of $10 for a total of 90$ in stocks and $10 in cash.
These scenario's are equivalent unless the stock wasn't priced correctly.
A dividend is just a forced sale of your stock
Imagine we made 13 sextillion of those transistors... That's more than there are grains of sand on earth
Of course, why would they not?
At the cost of voter anonymity, which shows exactly what is wrong with voting by mail. It's impossible to prevent fraud while preserving anonymity. Not silly billy at all.
They prevented fraud at the cost of voter anonymity, this is exactly what is wrong with voting by mail. You cannot protect both.
Why go through all the hoops if they are instead just could refuse patches? Open source doesn't mean open to contributions, look at SQLite for example.
If they had the idea to release this open source they would have said so in clear words by now. They didn't so I don't have much hope, unless maybe if they get enough negative publicity to change their mind.

I haven't really used any other platforms so I can't really compare but I have encountered enough audio issues too. Especially with new Teams and bluetooth devices.
