Probably Microsoft needs it for Android or iOS. Or at least this was the case with interface default implementations.

If the static methods on the interface were limited to calling other methods on the interface, and static data members limited to interfaces or simple primitives, then I might agree with this idea.
But yeah, it's borked, in my opinion.

Well thankfully, you can still implement interfaces the right way if you choose to...

The US government is considering forcing app developers to disclose any foreign involvement after a string of concerns about how users' data is being collected. "I know I can't help myself, you're all in the world to me"
I sure hope at least one of you will get that one... I think it's the egg nog talking.

Of course... they don't want any other land to get a piece of the cake from the data they stole collected first

 can i use a general 2 point reference for GitHub and Stackoverflow, or do I need to list links to every answer used?
It might be a long list.

Exactly how are they going to do this? We don't need the government to get involved in our lives or jobs.

And google and amazon don't want anyone to buy any such data from anyone but them.
If "US laws permit mobile applications to collect massive amounts of personal information about their users", then cure the problem at its root, and stop apps collecting "massive amounts of personal information"; don't just stop apps collecting "massive amounts of personal information if it's not to be resold by US corporations"

Perhaps they should force developers to disclose any involvement with Google, Facebook, Amazon or Apple.

Some stars appear to temporarily die without a whimper or a bang — they just disappear from the night sky and then appear again later — and the scientists behind a newly published study believe this strange phenomenon could have one of two explanations: we’re either witnessing something brand new in astrophysics or seeing signs of alien activity. They've had their turn indicator on for the last 15 light years
and they're driving slowly in the passing lane.
Or you know, it could just be partially obscured by something?

Stating the obvious does not result in more funding, there surely must be something else at work here.

Given all the ridiculous claims that astronomers come out with, year after year, I would think that they were a pack of idiots -- if it weren't for the fact that each ridiculous claim were followed up by a demand for research grants.
So I don't think they're a pack of idiots; I think they're a pack of devious, scamming b@st@rds.

VISA says it's aware of POS malware being deployed on the networks of five North American fuel dispenser merchants. Acronym is also useful to describe the people doing this

It would be helpful to know which of the merchants have been affected though

The latest version of Chrome has already automatically rolled out to hundreds of millions of users around the world and is causing some serious problems for Android users. They didn't just cancel it? They're getting better.

"The problem stems from Chrome 79 switching the location it stores web data and a failed migration process has caused this data to be lost"
Non-dependent copy & delete operations, betcha -- if the copy operation fails, the delete operation isn't cancelled (the very reason why I stopped using Total Commander on android).
This is quite obviously one of the many, many negative results of google's fanatical "only hire people who are under 25" policy.
