Knowning little about the specs required for automotive grade it could be that the tech couldn't handle the vibration, temp extremes/changes and other hardships that car parts encounter. Just a theory.

You don't even have to carry it over, just require the original signed file in a competition. Though whenever you look at security you always have to consider what happens when it gets cracked.

"They" being the Federal Reserve, who's mandate is to balance unemployment and inflation. So yes, Cars, homes and everything else in the Fed's basket of goods needs to stop going up by 6%/mo. The Fed is limited in their toolset, so in order to do that they can raise the federal funds rate basically causing any loans given to have a minimum APR (Why lend to Jack for 5%, when Uncle Sam will give you 6%). So if you're taking out a loan, your payments are going to be more expensive. Thats going to nuke lower return investments and make borrowing to grow your business harder.

They had 16 companies in this survey that were remote, 2 that were "office", And the rest were some form of hybrid. They considered anything other than full remote "some office". This could easily get skewed if one of these office companies had 10x'd their revenue.

And even though they grew faster, the attrition for Office was higher.

DRM and Content contracts. They can't just throw 4k into an unsecured environment because they need to make a best effort to enforce that their 4k content isn't pirated.

That would be on the executive and the company to negotiate that aspect in the contract deal. Executive contracts almost always have lawyers behind them.

I think the EU had chip and tap to pay before apple. So the over there Apple looks like it implemented a solution and then blocked competitors from using the platform with already established payment terminals. In the US, the optics are very different because Google, Samsung and others came way after apple took the reigns and drove adoption of tap to pay.

Which is ridiculously annoying. I have to edit the HTML every single time to remove "readonly" on that field and paste in my randomly generated password.

Ya, it seems less that they killed it, and more so they just rebranded or released a successor product. Microsoft mobile wasn't killed, it was replaced by windows phone.

Its basically like writing code. Aladdin was prototyped, Proof of concept, then put into production. So if anything needed a complete re-write, it wouldn't affect final production.

Hayao seems to doing continuous refactoring, so as long as you don't need to edit too many scenes already drawn you can potentially come out with a good final product while giving production as much time as possible.

Not at all, Patent is there for protection. So if you invent something that requires capital, but are a non-practicing entity, you can't enforce your patent. So lets say a bunch of companies start to practice your patent, all of them now have incentive to buy your patent because if any of them own it, none of their competitors can use it anymore.

There are battery adapters from amazon and 3rd party batteries available readily. Your argument doesn't hold water.

And oem batteries have systems in place to prevent over-use, over-heating and will shut off to prevent battery damage. So its less like DRM for batteries and more like each tool is designed along side its battery for performance.

I disagree that its an awful idea. If anything its a pretty great idea with a lackluster execution. There are alot of problems it can solve but it needs to have a killer app first to drive adoption. "Contextually sensitive" actions are decent but not the killer app.
