Or like this situation, where the cops killed the kidnapped girl they were trying to rescue. Great job guys!

Sure, let's totally dispense justice based on mainstream media reporting of the alleged crime. No way that could go wrong!
Trump has long disdained wind farms for "sullying" the views from his golf course near Aberdeenshire. It's completely a personal vendetta.
Rust grew out of a Mozilla side project in 2006 and hit stable in 2015. Several years later, the White House and NSA promoted it because the huge number of memory CVE's are a problem for individuals, businesses, and national security alike. And they didn't promote just Rust, they promoted memory-safe languages in general.
If you're seeing shadowy evil agendas where there exist clear, objective, straightforward explanations then take a break and go touch grass.
Living in a fishbowl robs you of the ability to truly discover and become yourself. As such, public surveillance should be restricted to areas of high crime and critical infrastructure. Neither you nor the police are owed a 24/7 visual history of all locations in which a crime might occur.
It will always be factual and newsworthy to report what the president is saying (no matter how incorrect or malicious it is). News media doesn't need 230 protection to report this.
I'll add to that Africa's geography is fucked... the coastline is old, smooth, and shallow which means you don't get many ports. On top of that, the African escarpment means that interior rivers tend to have huge rapids that are basically unnavigable. All of this greatly complicates logistics and hampers internal trade... for instance, getting minerals from the east Congo to the Atlantic requires ~9 different transports (e.g., switching back and forth between water and land vehicles). Europe and North America, by contrast, have an embarrassment of riches... loads of glacier-carved deep water ports, extensively navigable interior rivers, and (at least in the U.S.) lots of inter-coastal waterways.
Geography isn't the only thing that hindered Africa. Tropical diseases and the Tsetse fly also fucked things up pretty well by devastating livestock populations. Cattle means you can farm more land with fewer people (and fertilize it too), plus they're a food source. I'm sure there are other factors too, but these are big ones that would inhibit any would-be society.
Yeah, but in actual war (like Ukraine is finding out), flexibility matters. There are absolutely cells of Ukrainian engineers 3D-printing parts as they respond to our evolving understanding of drone warfare with innovative solutions.
Moreover, standardization is a long recognized enabler of industrial warfare... good standards let militaries flexibly source parts and share equipment, simplifying logistics. Letting military contractors obstruct that is our corruption... it's strategical stupid for a military that wants to be effective.
The goal is probably to bilk crypto investors from prosperous countries. While third world peoples are being exploited in some intangible sense, the main point is to use them to inflate the user count. It's bullshit because typically such users immediately cash out the meager compensation they were given for scanning their eyeball and cease any further usage of the coin.
I feel you should also list the Apple team that developed this feature... modern families are complex; how the hell could they make the "just one administrator" mistake? Having two (involved) parents is common. Having messy divorces is common. Having court ordered-custody is common. What sort of family were they designing for?
"framing effect"
Normally, developers are focused on making the product do something, but security is the inverse: it's making sure the product cannot do some things.
It's difficult enough to hire good developers who can make products that do stuff, but hiring ones can ensure it doesn't do anything bad requires that you find the people who really knows their shit and have the imagination to identify all the things a product shouldn't do.
Likewise, organizational leadership, project management, QA, etc, have got to be bought into it.
No. While Bush did a lot of shitty stuff (trillion dollars wars, warrantless wiretapping, etc) and subsequent administrations compounded the damage, Trump is nakedly corrupt, lawless, and authoritarian. This is historical turning point stuff.
There's a strong demand for short-form use content on mobile. Portrait orientation works better for that situation. Stop blaming users for having preferences that are entirely rational.
Executing people up for their impulses (instead of, you know, actual crimes) is not "justice".
