I generally despise mergers and acquisitions, but I'll try to keep an open mind as I don't know the whole context here, so it could be a very rare case of an improvement.
As the article says : a C compiler without assembler nor linker is a very standard undergraduate project.
Good students are supposed to be able to do it alone, average students in groups of around 4.
So for AI that's supposedly "PhD level in everything" ; this shouldn't be considered that impressive, even less so with 16 of them on the case...
Seems like even they know their claims are super overstated.
That has existed since the early 2010s. This patent should have been rejected on the grounds that it is insufficiently innovative.
(To say nothing of the idiocy of the idea. Patents aren't concerned whether your ideas are idiotic or not, just whether they're new enough that you deserve credit for them)
Being European, I had the choice to live in a city that is very friendly to bikes, pedestrians, and has very good public transit. I also deliberately chose an apartment that was so close to my university it's trivial to go there in the morning, and I have access to a wide transit network if I need to go further.
Honestly, if I lived somewhere car dependent, I think I would just bite the bullet and drive until I can move somewhere better. This is a pretty bad answer but I don't know what else to say.
I would probably try to get a cheap and reliable electric car to save as much as possible on maintenance costs.

Maybe this can be deconstructed, but until then we need a good dose of "Realpolitik" that takes those biases into account, at least if we want to achieve anything concrete.
There is some truth to the "us vs them" between elites and the people, and the current elite is (somehow) very good at making a big part of the people they oppress think that "actually, you're part of the elite too !"
There are alternate providers, like Cloud9 or Mullvad !
I can already see the headlines...
"Democrats want to prevent FREEDOM discounts" or something equally inane...
Idk if it's perfect but I really like the "literate programming" version of wc
This is not the original, but here is one version of it : https://github.com/zyedidia/Literate/blob/master/examples/wc.lit
Self-host or die trying !
Honestly if you want to try it on Firefox, they have a few options built-in for alternative DNS !
And I feel your pain, my CS bachelor's had like 0 courses on Networking, fortunately my current Engineering degree courses have great stuff available, so I'm finally catching up !
