The sole purpose of a press release is to generate positive interest. It is not entitled for the reader to expect the time they have invested in reading it to be worthwhile.

Fair enough, but that would surely be the result of local 'last mile' type infrastructure issues on a tiny scale, rather than wholesale electricity production (not being able to supply a whole city despite all the distribution infrastructure being in place), which is the topic of the article and threads.

Farming is not an open and free market. You cannot draw any conclusions about actual costs and impact from retail pricing. Subsidies distort cost massively.

Depending on your definition, shareware models have been around for 40 years at this point. If you disagree with the terms, don't use it. That's a personal decision though, not a global moral position.

Stalking ex-colleagues hasn't even been an essential part of what I would describe as a normie job.

I'd argue that should/could be relevant, but isn't in reality. Do two global data processors more happy to work with governments/law enforcement exist?

This is the equivalent of two competing startups getting an advantage over an enterprise, just at government scale. It's a good thing.

Two competing products emerge, they are battle tested, opinions form, reviews are conducted. At that point it's a much better time for a significantly larger organisation to create a more focused realistic plan based on learnings and outcomes.

Imagine the analysis paralysis that would set in if the EU tried it from scratch - years of requirements gathering, pilots, reports...

The 'cyberpunk' one is incredibly bland and uninspired. That may be the goal of the political site, as a form of satire.

But reducing a style with a wealth of cultural material to draw on (literature, fashion, cinema, gaming, industrial design) to 'dark with turquoise/pink highlights, cut corners on rectangles, some random diagonal lines, some token Japanese characters and a lazy neon-style logo' feels like a miss.

If this was from a human designer I was working with, I'd be having a serious conversation about effort.

Sideloading is a type of installing defined by the source of the file(s) being installed. Google will still allow installing from the Play store. The distinction is valid.

Can SSIDs really infringe trademarks? Clearly the context is a bit different in a truly isolated environment like a cabin at cruising altitude where alternatives are not reasonably expected, but am I not allowed to call a network I run from an apartment in a densely populated area where others could acces it `BigCorp is crap`?

It is well known that all true investors are born with innate instincts for entrepreneurship and do not distract themselves with other careers, skills or knowledge.
