Depends on the age. For a 3-5 year old prone to sneaking out on adventures it could be useful.

Just one problem: Mine tended to attempt their escape barefoot.

Their award, they get to choose what to do with it.

And I bet those design decisions were made by management, not the developers.

Working on corporate tech as a developer means constantly making things you as a developer and/or user know is going to be shit, but the suits don't listen to reason.

Who's going to update it to stay current with the tax code?

The cable thing is simply due to physical limitations. If you want a data cable with the fastest data rate it will be maximum 1m (or ~3ft for the metric challenged) and quite thick and stiff. A cable exclusively for charging can be quite long and thinner so it can be coiled smaller. Then there are various middle grounds with slower data rates, which sometimes are too slow for certain applications (e.g. Android Auto).

If you buy a short, thick and expensive cable rated for thunderbolt 5 you can use it for everything, but you may not like the form factor.

What I primarily miss in American bread is texture. Americans think white vs. whole grain are the only variations of flour, and are missing out on a whole world where the flour isn't ground to dust. Adding some ratio of medium and coarse ground flour is what gives the texture sorely missing in the floppy sadness Americans call bread.

As a Norwegian, sandwiches are supposed to be 90% bread. But it's supposed to be good bread, not this nonsense Americans keep putting up with.

Is Palantir a non-profit either?

People have been caught with those levels before. You need to be an expert tier alcoholic to pull it off, though.

I'm only confined to the tiny sliver in the same way an elephant is confined by a thin rope. It's purely mental after many years of conditioning.

He won the prize before even entering office. At the time, most Norwegians believed that Thorbjørn Jagland, head of the committee, was infatuated with Obama and his campaign and just orchestrated a win for him so they could meet. Officially he won because his campaign had been so unifying or some nonsense like that.

I'm pretty sure Obama hated it, because it put him in a very awkward spot. Both he and everyone else knew it was premature to receive it before having done anything, but it wouldn't look good to decline it either.

The UK is no longer part of the EU. This is a separate effort from the recent UK shenanigans.
