Or a legally protected right to transact, ideally with cash-equivalent anonymity. I’d take either one.
I'm feeling a little maximalist about this: How about both?

There's also 20 amp circuits which are common.
Many houses run circuits that are rated for 20 amps even if they don't have the right outlet for it so this is an inexpensive upgrade for most.
I did not realize the outlet impacts the amperage… Is it a rating issue, or is there an actual part there that will trip?
I think you're right about this. The appearance of conspiracy can easily occur among people who aren't covertly communicating with each other when they have aligned values and incentives.
And also journalists keep getting leaked as having internal journalist-only messaging lists, and often discuss the seemingly coordinated articles (or at least the events leading to them) in advent of publishing. See the JournoList (and related) scandals.

Oh, my job is one of those.
Our code is in Perforce.
This is the most Software Engineer answer. Emphasizing only the distinctions that make no difference :D
This is a strange narrative to me. Google and other companies have done crappy things without people calling for a break up of the company. It’s possible you are in your reality distortion field. An anti-Apple one.
I don’t know anything about this particular case but there is a gray area when it comes to what an owner of a platform should/shouldn’t be allowed to do. I hope the EU cracks down hard on both Apple and Google. Both of these platforms have become essential to modern life in many ways and as such a case can be made for strict government oversight of them.
Nobody seems to be suggesting it is any better when Google does it; but on Android (if you ignore the efforts that Google has gone to to make the experience be limited) one can at least avoid the AppStore altogether, while still installing and running various things on device.
Copying some textures wouldn't lead to a patent lawsuit.
Unless it is a design patent, though I have no idea if Japanese law even supports this kind of IP protection.

What’s more curious is how Google got ahold of the URL list itself. Was the individual URLs indexed from somewhere else? Did a clever engineer notice a pattern and add some additional directives for the crawler? Did xAI put them in a sitemap they sent to Google? Something else?
