No, the problem is what I call an "upside down" characterization, upside down script writing.

Jadzia was a character who happened to be bisexual (then), not a bisexual who happened to be a character (now). The first leads you to a wholly defined character with a backstory (Jadzia). The latter leads you to a token character who doesn't really make sense (Adira).

In DS9 the characters drove the plot, in Discovery the plot drove the characters.

Yes, both shows had these elements, but the way it's written is completely different. First one will be remembered, second one will be relegated to the dustbins of history (like the socialist realism it reminds me of).

Fun Fact: The head of Kuiper at Amazon - Rajeev Badyal (previously from Microsoft) - was fired from heading Starlink at SpaceX in 2018 by Musk for going too slow...

The key thing to realize is that phone cpus vastly outnumber desktop cpus nowadays. In other words, TSMC can spread its R&D funding using way bigger market than Intel can.

Are they actually banning lab-grown meat or just not allowing it to be called meat? ie, a "Meat" vs "Cultured beef protein" thing?

The challenge with cars is different though. Apple likes to design "The Ultimate Gadget". They have actually very few options in any line of product. Either just one or small/mid/big and that's it. They like to have people locked-in into an apple-only household where you interact only with only their products and it just works(tm). Now - how do you translate that into a car market? There's natural segmentation there and do you expect Apple to fill all the niches? Will they release all of the iCab, iSedan, iTruck? Or will you have one apple car and then some other one? That wouldn't fit well into the Apple vision though.

Amazing for emergencies as you said, but also - don't forget IoT.

Umm.. the most used apps today are exactly that - remote webapps. Not really that big conceptual difference between streaming HTML/CSS/JS and streaming X11 commands.

I like "literary criticism run amok".

I don't think it'd hard to change firmware in the Starlink sats to make their phased array antennas act like Ku-band SAR though...

What happens to the derivative works you created if you later sell the token?

Given that Kaspersky was trusted enough to create the online voting system Russians began to use, I very much doubt he could be anti-Putin.
