I think the OP is describing an abstract ideal, but not something that bears out in practice. When navigating old code, or very large code bases, or code weighed down by technical debt, or mathematically complex code, or just poorly/hastily written code, finding a comment describing a method's intention provides valuable context.
Black and white pictures are generally much more precise. There's a lot of image manipulation involved in consumer grade color images (which the copter has).
I work for a company you've heard of, and that's their policy.
_However_, if I had a side project I wanted to work on, I can get clearance to pursue it, so long as it doesn't compete with any of the company's ventures. It's a straightforward process, not a big deal at all.
They're just trying to get ahead of/avoid potential ambiguous IP ownership situations.
The NRA's financial disclosures and their public statements indicate they are not experiencing financial difficulties. Their stated purpose in filing bankruptcy is to dissolve the New York corporation and reincorporate in Texas to escape an ideologically hostile regulatory environment. It sounds insane to use bankruptcy in this way. Every bankruptcy expert I've read looking at this thinks the approach is nuts and will fail.

By "hostile regulatory environment" it is meant that they allegedly committed fraud against their donors and the (Democratic) attorney general is going after them for the breaking law:
The hostile regulatory environment is far more than the NY AG going after them for fraud.
In this most recent investigation, the remedy sought is politically motivated. If the AG were interested in protecting and vindicating the wronged donors, a more apt remedy would be to disgorge the ill-gotten gains and remove those responsible from the organization. Instead, the AG is trying to destroy the organization, which probably isn't what the people who donated to the NRA want.
And folks have tried to fix it up: Oliver North (of all people) went after LaPierre to route out corruption and lost. The NY AG is arguing that at this point it is irredeemable and should be nuked from orbit.
The Biden admin just reversed course[0] on the Fair Access provision in federal banking regs, so now banks are free to deplatform organizations which go against the party line. You thought social media deplatforming was bad..
Probably. The NRA's power has always been voters not money. They have a large number of voters who listen. When they spend $.50 on a stamp that money is more likely to result in a vote than anyone else spending $10,000 for a TV commercial. When the NRA speaks their members listen.
The Nexus line was named after the number of inches, not chronologically. Nexus 4 = 4 inches, Nexus 5 = 5 inches, Nexus 6 = 6 inches, Nexus 7 = 7 inches, Nexus 9 = 9 inches.
Newer versions within the same number of inches were dealt with by smacking some arbitrary letters like "X" and "P" and sometimes the year "(2013)" in the case of Nexus 7.
It's an (awkward) user friendly spin on what's ultimately a security update.
Previously, if an app like FB wanted a bubble, they'd draw a screen overlay via `WindowManager`. That's the same API often misused to draw invisible layouts over your banking app. Providing a purpose built bubbles API lets Android close the door on the riskier API.
