Really, how?

At some point someone will need to issue a key, which at some point will need to be verified against known good signatures.

These signatures will also need to be kept in case of lawsuirs/enforcement, so if somebody gets access they will know you visited that site

Something that only came with the banking apps was opening of accounts via camera based identification and other security critical stuff, like 2fa for transfers, resetting card pins and setting other security features.

It's also easier to scan payments via app than go to the bank, something that is only possible via native like apps

Depending on your app this is not all.

If i send a golang binary to someone with a mac via signal or other mediums, apple simply displays a dialog that the app is damaged and can't be run.

You need to use chmod to manually remove the quarantine flag to run it.

That for me is something that should be fined ad infinitum, because it is clearly designed to disallow non technical people to run custom apps.

I think the major different between that and KI is that the the Night-Vision is mostly static and knowable through experience/teaching, while KI is an ever moving target where you experience is zero on every new display/question.

I think the idea of an hud is better than the current paradigm, but it doesn't solve the fundamental problem.

I mean it kinda is already with android being made by google.

The hard problem is not even necessarily building android, the hard problem is afaik the custom firmwares needing a very specific kernel version to work with and having security issues of their own.

If you then want to decouple software completly form any hardware chip it get's complicated fast, are usb ICs software?

Do all ic manufactures now need to hire external companies for their firmware?

I installed fdroid on a friends phone and they use it install newpipe and keep it up to date, without having a tech savy friend around to download the apk relase from github.

Not really in the sense that the owning company has managed to survive without the state stepping in and give them money.

Most reactors are old and in need of repair, most of these earlier than planned afaik.

There is also the bigger issue that some reactors are shut down in the summer because cooling water would leave the reactor so hot that it would be a danger to the animals living in the river.

Yes, if your comment is strictly read, you are right that your are allowed to scream fire in a crowded space

I think that the "you are not allowed to scream fire" argument kinda implies that there is not a fire and it creates a panic which leads to injuries

I read the wikipedia article about brandenburg, but I don't quite understand how it changes the part about screaming fire in a crowded room.

Is it that it would fall under causing a riot(and therefore be against the law/government)?

Or does it just remove any earlier restrictions if any?

Or where there never any restrictions and it was always just the outcome that was punished?

Because most of the article and opinions talk about speech against law and government.

...where such advocacy is directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or produce such action...

This seems to say there is a limit to free speech

The act of shouting "fire" when there are no reasonable grounds for believing one exists is not in itself a crime, and nor would it be rendered a crime merely by having been carried out inside a theatre, crowded or otherwise. However, if it causes a stampede and someone is killed as a result, then the act could amount to a crime, such as involuntary manslaughter, assuming the other elements of that crime are made out.

Your own link says that if you yell fire in a crowded space and people die you can be held liable.

The problem of rural communities having no power is, I think mostly a non issue across most of europe.

Having most of the electrical grid already it makes no sense to scale it back or not connect the few not connected communities

I'm not arguing against renewable I'm arguing against the idea that in most of europe it would be better to use small grids instead of an european wide big grid.

Hydrostorage is cheap if it provides enough energy for more than one small community, having the ability to balance energy production and needs across europe is easier than being at the mercy of local weather.

A good example for that is austria, where the grid has a problem where a better connection between east and west is not finished/buid because of discussions about environmental impact.

This leads to overproduction in one place which can't be transferred to places that need electricity.

sorry my bad for formulating it badly: less solar and now wind means days or even weeks with no solar and no wind aka "dunkelflaute"

In germany a week long dukelflaute occurs every 2 years.

You don't need 30% more panels, you need to store energy for the all usage for about a week.

The problem is not necessarily day/night but summer with solar+and possible wind and winter with less solar and possible no wind.

So you need to store energy for more than a few hours or generate it from something else.

You then have the choice to use batteries(costly for megwatts as of now), things like hydrostorage, fossil fuels(gas/coal/oil) or hydrogen generated from renewable sources.

If you need big energy storages anyway, it makes more sense that communities pool their money together and invest in something like hydrostorage, but then you need a grid to connect the communities and if you do that, you might as well connect everything in the country so the grid is better at balancing.

Depends on the nato country, but most only use if attacked, which makes perfect sense as these where times where the most dangerous country was the udssr for them.

If you where a nato country you had the problem that by the time reinforcment from the usa could arrive, the udssr could potentially be in control of most if not all of europe.

While the udssr didn't really had that concern, as they had more than enough room to retreat, reform and defend.

In such a scenario it's very easy for the udssr to have a no first strike policy when there was simply no way for any european country to invade them, while smaller countries would have had a real concern that they either use their weapons to the full effect or have no chance to do so.

IMHO there is also the substantial benefit that the udssr now knew that any attack meant that they would trigger a war without winners, e.g. they couldn't fight and then retreat to safe bases deep in their territory

I think a good example of boring vs old is wireguard.

Wireguard is a pretty simple vpn to setup, has a very predictable and stable behaviour which makes it boring, but it's fairly new compared to other vpn software.

Isn't "code compiles" an insufficient criteria?

e.g you would need to prove that for all inputs the code produces the correct output which would in turn make the problem way more complex

I mean most of the things are the fault of a badly designed or non existent protocols:

-Problems with non western input systems

-Accessibility

-Remote control(took around 2 years to be stable I think?)

-Bad color management

Then there's the things that did work in x11 but not in wayland:

-Bad support for keymapping(the input library says keymapping should be implemented by the compositor, gnome says not in scope, so we have a regression)

-bad nvidia support for the first two years? three years?

While these things are compositor/hw vendor faults, the rush to use wayland and nearly every distro making it as default, forced major regressions and wayland kinda promised to improve the x11 based experience.

I don't see that much opensource coming from china.

For example the popular arm rockchip offerings are so bad at contributing to mainline linux or even sharing documentation that the single person supporting them dropped it due to lack of fund and being unable to get any contact to share documentation.

IMHO, chinese opensource does at best the same thing many western companies do:

Opensource the things that are not you secret sauce/income, or things which would benefit you if people adopt them.

With the added caveat that china in generally is notorious for not abiding by patent laws and copying.

There is a vast difference between arguments like "Phones have been accused of ruining romantic interaction and addicting us to mindless chatter" and "current AI has problems generating accurate information and can't replace researching things by hand for complicated or niche topics and there is reason to believe that the current architecture may not solve this problem"

That aside optimist are also not always right, otherwise we would have cold fusion already and have a base on mars.

to be fair that sleep/suspend issue is with any amd cpu running kvms.

I have a desktop system with a newish amd cpu and had the same issues as discussed on the github issue.

I would be very carefull with saying your are gdpr compliant without having talked to laywer.

Your are basically replacing a unique identifying attribute(ip address) with a unique attribute and a maybe unique attribute, to generate a unique attribute.

The problem is not the ip address, the problem with analytics is that your want to count unique visitors but are not allowed to track any properties of the visitor that are unique and hence a protected property of the visitor per the gdpr.

Wouldn't it be hard as soon as people exchange that money in non traceable areas?

E.g. people gift money on birthdays, people buy things in private sales, etc.

Edit: overlooked your last part about intermediates you are right
