Apple buys self-driving startup Drive.ai just days before it would have died - The Verge[^]
Quote: Drive.ai, a self-driving startup that was once valued at $200 million, was supposedly closing its doors and laying off all its staff — but Apple has now confirmed to Axios and The Verge that it’s acquired the struggling startup instead.
An intelligent move. Yeah, pretty soon you'll see iCarstm* running around town...

Jobs would have bought it years ago, if it were worth the money.
Why is it that companies that start out great, with their founders, turn to sh1te the minute the founders are no longer running things?
Oh. Sorry.
Stupid question.

Our original list of proposals – general Unicode identifiers, binary integer literals, separators for number literals, signed integer shift counts – got both trimmed and expanded. Collecting $200?
Do they do 200 Euro in the EU? Do they have a "European edition", like they have for cats, Star Wars, and all the rest?

Some Windows 10 users are seeing notifications from Microsoft that their devices are temporarily blocked from receiving the Windows 10 1903 update. Oh joy: "Update your machine so we can update your OS (ya cheapskate!)"

Sounds of joy were heard throughout the land. If only they had known sooner how to prevent automatic updates...

I found an easy way to prevent the update. Just don't have enough space left on the C: drive. My system has been trying to update for a while now, but it needs 32GB of space to do it and, darn, there's only 30GB free at the moment.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Up to 20 million manufacturing jobs around the world could be replaced by robots by 2030, according to analysis firm Oxford Economics. "We're functioning automatic, and we are dancing mechanic"
I thought they were already doing all the jobs?

No, in many places of the world, cheap labor outperforms the costs of having a robot. In some cases it's even cheaper than running an engine.

The fifth annual Sonatype State of the Software Supply Chain Report is based on patterns and cybersecurity hygiene practices of about 36,000 open-source projects and 3.7 million open-source component releases. In related news: Wow! Really?!
After that headline, I think it's time I closed up shop. I'm devastated that I couldn't come up with a better conclusion than they did.

Scientists using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have confirmed the presence of electrically-charged molecules in space shaped like soccer balls, shedding light on the mysterious contents of the interstellar medium (ISM) - the gas and dust that fills interstellar space. Is this some kind of World Cup promotion?

Golly.
You need an electron microscope to see bucky balls on Earth, and phenomenally sensitive galvanometers to detect a charge on them, but they can do all that when they're gazillions of miles out in space.
Aren't they clever?
