Re: We are a technology colony of the US; this is just icing on their cake
television, turbines, steam engines, railways, Jet Airliners, Supersonic Airliners, SONAR, Programmable Computers (Colossus,)
and these are just the era-defining ones

AWS did actually win JEDI the first time around, GCP and MS pulled out in the final rounds, then Larry and IBM sued, and The Cheeto in chief threw his toys out the pram.
SatNad quickly reviewed his stance and found the money to make the changes to pass the requirements, and then MS got awarded the contract. so Trump could stick it to Bezos.
then AWS rightly sued...
it does however seem part of doing business with the US.gov, everyone bids, someone decides, then one of the other bidders decides to sue, cos they thought they should have won.
The Crown estates belong to the people as surrendered by each monarch in turn under the various civil lists acts since 1697, until the Soverign grant act in 2011, when they are granted to the nation in purpetuity, in return for a payment of a 1 quater share of the profits they generate for the nation, to afford the expenses of the queens household.
The big problem Intel have being stuck on 10nm+++++++++ and 7nm is that the power consumption per flop is considerably higher that on the smaller architecture.
TSMC have perfected 5nm, and are sampling on 3 and working on 2 and 1.4
RISC-V FTW - why payARM for licencing if you're going to build your own.
the hyper-scalers will be moving to RISC just as the internet did to Linux
Simple:
"Build your network as if the endpoint is owned.
Build your endpoint as if the network is owned. "
Don't trust anything, set constraints so you can only send what you have to, and only collect what you have to.

1MW is a substantial draw, some of the airports(fields?) would not have power for that, so that expense will become augmented with grid storage costs too, you are probably looking at considerably more than the $500k to power the charger
1MW for 40 mins is 0.67MWh, In the smaller places you'd be looking at a battery pack that you can trickle charge and rapidly discharge; at larger hubs, you are probably looking at extra generation capacity, at least in Arizona Mesa have plentiful solar available...
the issue is at the moment there is not a lot of closed-loop recycling (product A recycled to make more Product A) most recycling produces a lower quality raw material so they get downcycled, to a point where it then becomes useless to re-cycle.
bottles get recycled to garden furniture which gets recycled to road material
Tyres become playground surface
until bottles become more bottles and tyres make more tyres, we are not really recycling and still need to make virgin materials.
it's in regard to their supposedly coming online platform, and related to the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act or (COPPA)
As COPPA doesn't allow storing details of under 13s without "verifiable consent from a parent or guardian," so they are pre-empting this, its the same reasons under 13s make up their date of birth to get on facebook
still better than the average Diesel engine or grid transmission loss.
H2 is basically a more efficient nigh on a drop-in replacement for diesel.
The improvements needed are just coming on stream, there are materials now that are cheap and readily made that prevent leakage.
Green hydrogen is being revolutionised by Graphene-based Membrane PEM fuel cells and electrolysers, and with the increase in offshore wind, it is becoming easier, cheaper and more efficient to store electricity as H2 and ship it to shore rather than build undersea cables.
Hydrogen as a replacement for Fossil fuels is a lot more environmentally friendly than Li-ion batteries, when you take into account you can re-use (with some modification,) most of the distribution infrastructure, and you don't need to collect the rare earth metals....
Win Me was a hybrid of 98 and Win2000 as XP wasn't launch-ready as it was supposed to be for 2000.
Me was a marketing stopgap to get the funds to finish XP.
XP was the end of the MS-DOS kernel migrating to the NT kernel for consumer OS, and Me was its last hurrah.
You can track it through the actual version numbers, Me is windows 4.9 and XP is NT 5.1
there is plenty of blame for the current situation, and it can be flung at all levels.
The issue is how to fix it and it needs a multi-threaded response
Education: Teach people secure coding, stop them from writing insecure stuff in the first place.
(don't tell me this is done already OWASPtop10 hasn't materially changed in a decade)
Enablement: Allow time to properly write secure code, don't allow it past checkpoints if it isn't secure, tested and documented.
Enforcement: make companies criminally and financially responsible for anything that is lost by exploiting their insecure code.
Nah, Android opens up the API to allow scanning, so anything that's there has the chance of being detected.
Finding malware on iOS takes more effort as there are no APIs or permissions allowed for any security software and the response from them is awful when something is found.
if you look at the time to Jailbreak a new "impenetrable" version, compared with the similar process on android, or the complexity of issues fixed on AOSP compared to the complexity of the issues on iOS, then you can see it's still full of low hanging fruit.
this is purely down to the single driving factor behind Tim's Apple, the almighty dollar.
When your latest product obsoletes a considerable portion of your customers equipment, because security, and you sack your entire testing organisation and use automated tools, you can hardly be surprised that when something they would have caught gets past your tools, that someone points out the problem.
the Pfizer modifications were made in less than a week and its variant effective vaccine is moving for approval, mRNA is easy to tweak and makes the process far quicker, they have a better design (that will work without the extreme refrigeration needs and for future variants, almost in production, whereas AZ haven't even finished making their Beta fix, let alone attempted their Delta fix
