That's the point, they want to rent you access to a computer too

I think they're arguing that they are the third thing, a message parlor.

Unions are a real-life strategy because they work. Divide-and-conquer is also a real-life strategy, because it works too.

Thus, I think the truth of your statement all depends on whether you look at this conflict between government and the the people, from the point of view of the attacker, vs the point of view of the defender.

Children do not have the maturity that is required for unfiltered access to the adult world

But they used to. In the 1980s, nobody dared to say in public, that 17-year-old me should not be allowed to visit public (or even university) (or even medical) libraries. (Or if someone did, they were still very obscure and unpopular, little more than a glimmer in the left's eye.)

If I may, could I narrow down which of these two things you think is best? First, there's exactly what you said above..

Kids have no right to use end-to-end encryption without parental consent

..but I've altered it:

Kids have a right to use end-to-end encryption unless denied by a parent

Did I make it better, or did I make it worse?

If you install a balcony solar system and it produces more energy than you are using at the time the energy you are putting back into the grid is counted as energy consumed and you end up being billed for it.
In what country is it legal to sell such balcony solar systems?
And what country has such odd meters that flow into the wrong direction makes it count the same as the right direction?

Sorry, that does not make any sense at all.

In general if solar panels are put on land, they are put so that agriculture is still possible. The simplest is gassing cattle. More complex is agrivoltaics, see for example: https://www.nature.com/article...
Of course there are exceptions. In the EU we had plans to reduce the amount of land used for agriculture. For some stupid reason, the EU demanded that such land that got repurposed can not secretly still be used for agriculture, so plenty of farmers put low mounted solar panels on it.
Some of them did that close to rail tracks, as there was a second pot of subsidies covering installations (of what ever) along rail tracks.
The very little win : win of that is, that usually the power gets feed directly into the rail overhead line. Note: German Railway has its own grid, with its own frequency.

Okay, then please make a list in your mind, what all has to be done to what kind of quality standard, when you install a 100MW solar plant.

Hint ... having 4 human mules carrying a $500 panel per piece around: is not the main factor of manual labour.

The robot can very well work on parking lots, and with minimal adaption on flat industrial roof tops.

Your parent is just a troll, with typical troll questions, to make him look interesting.

In my eyes he just looks dumb. He could visit the web site of the corporation producing the robot, and ask for a quote ...

Topics that do not have much to do with each other at the moment.

Zero crashes on my Macs since 10 years or more.
5 blue screens on my Windows 11 acer last 28months.
Minimum 10 times "windows discovered a problem, and needs to reboot now", often by two or even three reboots in a row.
Not even telling what the problem is ... might be ... could be.

How do you come to 10x when you have on one side zero crashes and on the other side 2 dozens, depending how you count ... well, I guess someone rounded zero up to 2, or something.

Well, when I read it was all pounds, in Europe, I wondered how much that is in kg. As I am lazy, I just divided by 2 ... but the result was a kind of odd number, so I lost a few bits of accuracy.

Then, considering that this is at the Swizz and German border, I wondered if they used forced workers, like the many refugees to get the container on the truck!

I am relieved to read, they used a crane!!

Now I only have to figure what exactly -half a thousand degrees Fahrenheit is. I guess I can google for an AI to find that out.

They created fusion.
At least they claim so.
It is clear from the article.

And they are not the only ones. We have plenty of definitely non scam fusion companies that do fusion.

The question is will it once be commercial viable.

NASA tested solar sails just recently: https://www.nasa.gov/smallspac...

Well, the JPL has the Vasimr drive, a plasma engine.
They are working to "upgrade" it into a fusion drive.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

However regarding the upgrade to fusion they are pretty silent since a decade!!

Some key researchers founded their own company: Ad AStra.

The key researcher a female Ph. whose name I forgot, vanished from publications.

So no idea what is going on there. No idea actually if JPL is still involved.

Fact is they have a working - pretty nicely working - plasma engine. Since over 20 years. I guess there is again some big industry in the US who wants that project to fail. For what ever reason.
