It may well be immune to heat, cold, and, uh, salt, but the company's website says that the substrate is glass, and obviously there are lots of things that glass is not immune to. For one, we must hope that no bulls get loose in the library over the next 5000 years.

From the article: '"With these enhanced security measures, we can continue to expand access to U.S. technology without compromising our national security," Republican Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas said.'

Tom Cotton confidently opined that Trump was going to peacefully step down from power if he lost the 2020 election. Upon losing the 2020 election, Trump did not peacefully step down from power.

"This marks the second referendum on e-ID implementation, after voters rejected a previous version in 2021. The government has revised its approach, making the new system free, optional, and fully state-operated rather than privately managed."

Right. You're talking about a code generator. Those have been all the rage in MS world since at least the mid-aughts, notably for WinForms apps and for persistence layers. The code generated is shite, of course, but that doesn't ever seem to discourage anyone. "We don't have to look at the code, it just works!" they say. It's not clear to me that the people who say that have any intention of looking at the code even when it doesn't work, though.
