MS-Office arguably began the trend, but I see ever more apps try to keep the user away from File Explorer* via their own "special middle panel". One can usually still get to File Explorer, but it's extra steps. I suspect app builders do it so they can advertise their stuff there, especially cloud services. We need to shame to these apps, it's stealth spam.

File Explorer already has the "Quick Access" panel that allows me to put short-cuts to my favorite folders; there's no need to reinvent that for each app, and some reinvent it poorly. Plus, it makes saving inconsistent, as each app brand has their own middle-panel design.

I'm okay with the middle panel as an option, just don't make it the only option, and easy to switch off. MS-Office allows one to partially turn it off, but I've yet to find a 100% solution.

* Mac and [X]nix users probably also want to see the OS's default file finder, so it's not just a Windows problem.

For example, suppose a student asked, "What's gay marriage and why do people bicker over it so much on political shows"? The teacher could explain gay marriage, and explain the arguments both political sides typically give. The teacher doesn't have to endorse either side.

If a state law says teachers are fully barred from any mention of gay marriage, do you feel Federal law should toss it out per 1st Amendment?

Do you believe such an explanation is only appropriate for certain grade levels? If so, how should the teacher respond to questions from lower grades? Thank You.

The primary purpose of DTO's that I hear is they limit the number of columns to being sent to a destination to get a lower resource footprint. However, annotations typically are not inherited or mirrored, meaning they are usually discarded. This sometimes results in reinventing the wheel (DRY violation). Are there ways to go about it to access root POCO/model validation info and meta-data? Thanks.

(Rant: Personally I prefer dynamic models, AKA "data dictionaries", but the industry outvoted me for reasons that still escape me. Their simplification powers overwhelm the downsides of lack of compile-time checking & IntelliSense type hints. I won't argue that here, as there is an existing topic.)

(That's Larry Ellison by the way; not a top economist. Not a top human either.)

This is not an all-or-nothing decision, as a limited number of Chinese EVs can be allowed in so as to not to swamp other EV brands. The quantity permitted is a matter of discretion.

US car prices are ridiculous while at the same time China has been able to lower the cost of EV production, potentially providing affordable EVs to the US market. But quotas, tariffs, etc. keep most out.

Competition and price issues aside, are you concerned Chinese car electronics have too much potential to snoop on drivers and/or could be switched off by the Chinese gov't during war?
