I would use single x and y when they are meant to replace numbers, and multiple xx and yy when replacing text.

E.g.

  • "We sold x books yesterday"
  • "Did xx stop by yesterday and pick up the books?"

While there might be some truth to that, I don't think MS 365 would qualify as "developed for the government."

  1. I imagine that the company would have the burden of proof that any of these criteria are fulfilled.

  2. Third-party rights most likely refers to the use of third-party libraries, where the source code for those isn't open source, and therefore can't be disclosed, since they aren't part of the government contract. Security concerns are probably things along the line of "Making this code open source would disclose classified information about our military capabilities" and such.

Switzerland are very good bureaucracy and I trust that they know how to make policies that actually stick.

Damn right, you'd miss the Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster drink before the dinner. Not ok.

It's absolutely possible to make good money counting cards. There's a great series by Steven Bridges on YouTube where he goes through the process of counting cards in action, in several different casinos in different states and countries, both alone and with team-play.
