> Why wouldn't a "agreement" already be in place by the mere fact that those URLs are open to the entire world on purpose?
What does that even mean?
Although I'd like to know, what difficulties have you been facing in your startup, exactly?
And yes, before you answer, that applies to any hobby you can think of. You won't be astute by pointing out that e.g., car enthusiasts are similarly wasteful.
It means that working in the terminal, you can use short commands, and when you write a long-term script, you use the long names so that the script is more readable.
What I find great is that flags also have aliases that are standardized across commands.
This is why I'm annoyed at this meme. It just stems from ignorance.
That's not true.
> And then there were some that differed only in case, which honestly I don't know how we manage that, as the non-Windows side is macOS, and yet roughly once per year someone introduces two files, same name, differing case into the repo.
Sounds like a crappily maintained repo.
> Why did we review this merger?
> 28. The CMA’s primary duty is to seek to promote competition for the benefit of consumers. It has a duty to investigate mergers that could raise competition concerns in the UK, provided it has jurisdiction to do so.
> 29. Microsoft announced in January 2022 that it had agreed to acquire Activision for a purchase price of USD 68.7 billion. The Merger was conditional on receiving merger control clearance from several global competition agencies, including the CMA.
> 30. While both Microsoft and Activision are US-based entities, the question for the CMA is whether the Merger may have an impact on competition in the UK. This link to the UK can be established based on the turnover of the business being acquired in the UK (ie whether the UK turnover of that business is more than £70 million). In this case, we concluded that the CMA had jurisdiction to review this Merger because Activision met that threshold in FY2021.
You can read the full case here: https://www.gov.uk/cma-cases/microsoft-slash-activision-bliz... Microsoft and Activision/Blizzard decided themselves to seek the approval of the CMA.
The CMA's final decision is a 418 pages-long report. I doubt any of the commenters here have read it before throwing in their opinion about the case or the decision.
