Centralized only became mainstream when everything started to be offered "for free". When it was buy or pay recurrently more often the choice was to buy.

> Meanwhile jet fuel for private jets is (and remains) not taxed at all, even in the EU.

Not correct. Fuel for private aviation is taxed, including jet fuel and avgas. However, there are very few "private" jets, most are operated by some company, and therefore not private. Jet-A1 for a truely privately operated C172 with a diesel engine is taxed.

"if your application requires a non-standard custom solution, then you should use the WebTransport API"

That's a pretty convincing use-case. Why use something standard if it can be non-standard custom instead!

Full scale is unlikely. Russia could not, but they might send 250k/year to die in Estonia. EU and Nato (with or without US) would defend. But I doubt they would go all the way through Russia to force them to stop.

Nuclear option is not likely to be used for some "minor" conflict like that, because it would go both ways quickly.

Even if the EU doesn't collapse there's a non-zero risk of war though, after Russia is done with Ukraine.

How about not actively providing false information, but being allowed to respond with wrong information?

Starting from the second note the brain switches to reative mode (at least a brain that got some relative recognition trained before) and no AP pitch will be memorized.

Looks like primer used for aircraft, as if they forgot to paint their builings.
