Cars, banks and drugs - three areas where government oversight is not exactly a triumph.
More importantly though, AI will by definition be an international phenomenon so require an inter-governmental approach like the NNPT or the world bank. I really do not think there is sufficient political capital in the world to float a new regulatory regime at the moment.

His government doesn't believe in science anyway.

Because before anything can be deregulated, it must first be regulated.

So if a bank, for instance, wants to operate in America they have to give up proprietary algorithms to be overseen by that countries government? These are the same algorithms that are constantly being tuned by algos and strats and which are closely guarded secrets because they are designed to offer competitive advantage.
Sure, what could possibly go wrong?

The difference is just having to give them up instead of they taking them

More new leaks about the coming Windows 10 CShell, or composable shell, provide clues about the company's more unified future for Windows 10 across devices. Oh, don't get excited: it's not C shell for Windows

CShell is an evolution of the existing Windows Shell. The Windows Shell is the part of Windows that handles Start, window management, the Activity Center and Settings, and task switching. If want to know more about development go here

Deeply nested code hurts readability and is error-prone. But I like seeing all the long chevrons in the code listings!

Absolutely. Reduce the nesting instinct and the complexity of having error-prone children is greatly reduced.

It comes without Edge, automatic updates and pre installed junk software. Keylogging is kept as a core feature.

Now in an extremely lengthy post on Medium ex-Director of Development for Microsoft Office, Terry Crowley, has given an internal perspective of the turmoil that really exists in Microsoft, and how multiple strategic errors have cast long shadows, some of which still affect Microsoft today. "Those who make no mistakes are making the biggest mistakes of all — they are attempting nothing new."

The original (long) essay by Terry Crowley [^] is, imho, well worth reading.
However, I can't help but wonder if the sheer scale of the "digital behemoths" that dominate hardware/software doesn't constrain their "evolution" to being punctuated by catastrophes resulting from (your choices of): human error; poor judgement; failure to anticipate future trends; unexpected (disruptive) innovations in technology; dysfunctional management, etc.
Kind of like ... governments ? ... errr ... my life?
