I agree with that observation; also somewhere in-between you have hobby/club cycle racing that has some popularity (Road, MTB, BMX, 4cross, CycloX etc), which are essential feeders into the national/pro/elite (my Brother is a British Cycling qualified coach/scout for BMX).

Money laundering is a challenge even in the more tightly regulated industry I worked in. Conversely at one of my previous employers some of our big spenders were publicly known high end rich.

I once worked in an unrelated industry where we had a customer who spent so much money with us, that we shipped them a free iPad out when theirs broke so they could resume spending silly amounts of money.

OSM also shows far more land and terrain detail, in particular field and tree boundaries which makes it far more useful for wayfinding and deciding which options is more favourable, often a longer route is an easier walk, but you are left totally guessing with Google Maps.

Valve (as they did with Debian based previous versions of SteamOS) will maintain their own curated repository of packages, so they can control the versions of packages directly, no need to mess about forcing versions via pacman.

All that matters to me is what % CPU is used compared to what is the maximum available on demand to a user at a given point in time.

Toyota knows it competitive edge is its culture. Culture to change, to be retrospective, to improve. Lean, JIT, Kanban etc were derived from a culture of striving for perfection and to develop the optimal processes for a specific company is something that takes decades and is never ending, not something that can be read in a book, taught on a course in a short period of time.

I'd hate taking an immortality pill only to be stuck with an eternity of pain and suffering.

I am using FF Preview and in the past few days I have noticed the following extensions available: uBlock Origin, HTTPS Everywhere, Privacy Badger, NoScript Security Suite, Dark Reader, Search by Image.

I suspect there is a level of curation/testing going on here. As a non-release product I can understand the need to allow/test extensions in a controlled manner.

How about:

I lost confidence in the businesses ability to succeed, despite all my efforts to help it grow. Further questions would hopefully allow you provide examples of what an excellent employee you were.

If they are truly independent it would not matter what language they were written in. By imposing a constraint of not the same, that imposes a dependency.
