The rewrite has NOTHING to do with security and is all about licensing.
coreutils are GLPv3
rust-coreutils are MIT
So what? Standalone binaries don't infect other things with copyleft anyway.
Readit News> given support to these fake public interest groups in attempts to sue wind projects out of existence.
Remember - that's the core issue. Development of housing or green energy projects or industries with low externalities should be by-right.

just remember that even that won't last long. Electricity is an expensive resource and you won't get spare parts to keep the Wi-Fi running for long.
At most you will only be able to start a few Android-phone hotpspots and share files. That is the reality of it.
Electricity is not really an expensive resource for communications. You need like a single rooftop to provide WiFi for the entire village.

You might have the theory, you might have an understanding of the materials involved, but you’re missing the way they fit together.
Assembly of the actual warhead could be aided by the OP diagram.
This is merely an engineering problem.
The hardest part of building nukes is acquiring weapon-grade enriched uranium, because it's controlled as hell and you will get bombed if you try to make your own.
If you spend hundreds of millions of dollars on enriched uranium, paying salaries for team of engineers is the easy part.

Unless you’ve got some examples to back this up, it’s FUD. Posting hypotheticals is how rumours start, and this is just stirring the pot.
Conflict of interests is a real thing to worry about. I wouldn't trust scientist working in tobacco company on cigarette harm, even if I have no evidence of wrongdoing.

That is true. There is nothing unique to humans.
Everything is a sliding scale.
Eagles can 'see' better than humans. No one is is up in arms about how wonderfully unique human eye-sight is, how Eagles are using 'just instincts'. Humans are divine in how complex their sight is, that it could never occur in other animals or machines. Totally impossible that we would ever have a machine that can 'capture images'.
This, but unironically. Humans have the best daylight eyesight in mammals, and only birds of prey come close.

What's your technical solution to this aspect? The solution must be "technologically trivial" which I take to mean implementable today or in the near future with no change to how current regulations or laws work or to how current workstreams outside of the secondary backup system work (i.e., no change is required like having the judiciary start using crypto). We are also using the strict definition of "only." It should be technologically impossible for any person or entity to access the data without a warrant.
Asymmetric cryptography isn't a rocket science. Airline keeps encrypted recording and public key, certain government institution keeps private key, you need both to decrypt.

Title "People cough more during classical concerts" implies that people are more likely to cough during classical concerts than non-classical concerts. Article implies that people cough more in classical concerts than at home.
There are numerous biological, physical and neurological factors that can affect cough rate, and implication "it's voluntary" seems to be rather ridi... far-fetched.

I was already running home server, so for me, setting up smart home was relatively simple:
- Buy Zigbee USB dongle - Install Home Assistant and Zigbee2MQTT in Docker on server - Initial configuration
It requires basic technical knowledge, but after initial configuration it just works.
There were three major pains:
- Configuring camera (ONVIF is pure pain) - it works initially, but I physically plug-in cameras only when I'm going on holiday - Configuring voice assistant - Finding good ZigBee remotes - Price of Hue Wall Switch (DIY approach is possible by gutting cheap button)
Cameras and voice assistant troubles were arguably result of my "keep as much as possible within local network" approach.
Minor pains:
- Binding remotes to light bulbs, so they work even if server is down - Finding instructions how to bind certain ZigBee accessories (they have "just open our proprietary app and it will explain what to do" manual)
Yeah, broad tivoisation and patent clauses make it a problem, because making any patent litigation on unrelated grounds has potential to lose ability to ship the entire OS.
