The reason that there is a lot of articles about strings is because there is a vocal minority that really hates the Python 3 string changes, and they where the most contentious changes in the language.

Current Python 3 has changed a lot since the first versions of Python 3, and there is a whole host of improvements that makes it superior. None of them earth shaking but a host of them worth it. Python 3.6 was just released, and I would recommend having a look at its whats new document, to get a feel for what has changed since 2.7.

I'm not convinced that even if Apple have the money and probably employ some of the best tax lawyers around. That they always go for the solution that is unambiguous above board and guaranteed to follow the law. This might be one of the times they went for something that looked good and they thought they could get away with, but that didn't pan out in the end.

What you are pointing out is that there seem to be a huge problem with the quality of the police force in at least parts of the USA. I might be naive, but I refuse to believe that the US is such a violent country that the number of people killed by the police is justified. What the US deserve is a police force that is better trained, less militaristic and skilled in deescalating confrontation. It might be a bit more expensive, but it should be worth it.

Americans are generally well liked, even though American foreign policies are not always popular. Norwegian is probably one of the easiest languages to learn for an English speaker, the grammars are very similar. You can almost get away with just learning a set of new words and use English grammar. But almost everyone speaks English, so my English speaking friends have had a bit of a problem learning Norwegian, because you don't really need it.

You should absolutely be able to find out why your car stopped and what it is waiting for. Not doing that would be a huge fail from the self driving car companies and would make it a lot harder to get people to trust self driving cars.

Norway is part of the EU inner market. So this regulation will be applicable for it as well.

If he still does that after a stern talking to, you should take his commit privileges.

This is a worrying development for Android as an open source project. That Google doesn't care enough about keeping ASOP relevant, to even make sure their new Nexus 7 is supported in it, is rather depressing. Some here are blaming Qualcomm and I'm sure they are part of the reason this happened. But the new Nexus 7 is probably going to bring in a sizeable chunk of money, and Google could have used this to force Qualcomm's hand. That Google didn't, sends a clear message about their priorities.

It seems that the Norwegian consumer protection agency have heard about this case and have started looking into it (link in Norwegian http://www.itavisen.no/904648/forbrukerraadet-helt-haarreise... ).

It's going to be interesting to see if they are able to get any traction on this. They actually might since her contact in Amazon seemed to be working for Amazon.co.uk, and Norway is part of the EU's inner market.
