It does strongly imply it. HTTP2 is needed for more than just the bloatware of the modern internet.

The sentence is worded a little confusingly, but my interpretation of it is that for certain companies, since Amazon is a competitor in the business domain of that company, AWS is a nonstarter even if it's product offerings are a better choice. Walmart is the canonical example.

You don't spend a percentage, you spend a fixed amount. $1.5 million is enough to live in a nice house, eat what you want, send your kids to nice schools, Aruba in the summer and Aspen in the winter, and still have enough to buy a very fast car. It's easier to focus on EV once you live this life.
What about the infamous [patriot missile failure](https://www-users.cse.umn.edu/~arnold/disasters/patriot.html) in which faulty floating point arithmetic caused a missile not to be intercepted, killing 28?

There are certainly areas where idiomatic Rust needs to fight against the borrow checker. If that wasn't the case, things like `ouroborous` and `pin_project` wouldn't be as widely used as they are.

Every VPN worth its salt is located in a similar country, as it's critical for a VPN to operate out of a jurisdiction that does not require log retention for a certain period of time nor cooperates with Five Eyes law enforcement.
Re:OpenJDK mailing list: Null-safety and value types
on Tuesday February 07, 2023 @06:49PM (#34701736)
I am a fan of Rust, but I feel obligated to point out the return type of the current function does not provide any guarantees about the type which '?' was used on, even on stable. Since the generic requirement to use '?' with a return type of `Result<T,E>` is just `Into<E>`, you would still need to look at the called function since `From<E> for T` could be satisfied for (almost) any T.
