A) I'm flattered but I must decline.
B) This seems like quite a reversal from the days of don't-ask-don't-tell.

It reminds me of that bit, something like "I can kill somebody in the middle of Times Square and never be convicted"?

From the scant information provided, I surmise that the mechanism employed is running the motor backwards to activate a transition. Not a terrible design but it does mean that it also temporarily halts the rotation of the propeller since it has to go backwards. Obviously, it's not about to appear on human carrying aircraft. I think the part that may have impressed judges more is the simplicity and modularity of the design.

It likely has some reliability issues but it's a neat proof-of-concept.

For the curious, there is a mirror of all the repos for GSA-TTS (including the since hidden repos mentioned the article) here: gsa-tts-archived

Given the shear of incompetence at taking care of the primative security measures, I have little hope that this will be anything but a security nightmare.
I would say I wouldn't be surprised if they found a signing key in the repo but I doubt they even considered the need for one.

People who can afford it. They refer to themselves as "your betters".

This is not a simple dupe because since then actions have been implemented to address the issue.

If you RTFS, "[Last week], the U.S. Education Department introduced a temporary rule requiring students to show colleges a government-issued ID to prove their identity..." which was on June 6th, clearly later than May 8th.

What this means is that Socure has many clients. Among those client's all have ghost applications. The percentage of ghost applications per school is 20% in the lowest case and 60% in the highest case.

You don't understand, looting Apple and Nike store is just a form of reparations for white colonial cisnormative patriarchical ablelist oppression.

The difference is almost non-existent due to the following:
A) It's a slightly more advanced version of a tire pressure sensor (which are mandated) which means swapping one chip with another.
B) According to thegarbz, "100% of cars in Europe are mandated to have a base level of internet connectivity to comply with the eCall directive," which means connectivity is already integrated in new cars.
C) The processing power needed for particular option is minimal.

Expense of production does not have a direct correlation with sale price. Production cost is a logical fallacy used to justify higher prices to people who believe the two are directly correlated.

per Pirelli’s own site:

The last thing i want my car to have is 5G connectivity and a dependency on highly sophisticated software written by a for-profit company.

This should really be a lesson to all the universities to stop using Oracle's products.

"Most of them will spend 20+ years on a given ship, and will know every system intimately."

Interesting. The stories that some of these Warrant Officers could tell!

One of the reasons that officers are rotated in a modern military is so that no centers of power grow to where the troops are more loyal to a commander than to their government. Limiting the rank to WO's sort of gets around this problem. Supervisory authority, perhaps, but no command authority.

I wonder how large of a navy this could scale to?

I suspect it would be, "Damn the contracts, full speed ahead!"

Personally, I like physical media for my games. Instead, I get DRM-choked, always on, digital only, $80+ "license". I am buying a lot less games these days.
