The purpose of the artificial eggshell is to be used with an artificially created embryo, which didn't come from an ovary and therefore lacks a shell. This would be a step to revive an avian species for which we synthesise the DNA.
Endangered species OTOH need habitat preservation. They have no use for substitute eggshells, indeed, unless they disappear and we have to revive them from the last DNA samples available.
If we can just decide the text means whatever we want it to mean, what's the point in writing it down?
It's not a religion, the actual meaning is more important than the specific words. Reinterpreting some line as "the government cannot collect X by paying its own agents, but it's fine to pay private sector", is corrupting the meaning of your text. If they wrote government cannot collect X, it obviously extends to all means of collecting X, not just the limitative list of what they had in mind at the moment of writing. They would not waste time to write a Constitution that has obvious loopholes. Different to a district regulation that says no wine can be sold at the local bar, and can read it as beer is ok.
The summary says "harder to intercept or jam", and the company seems to be involved in the defence market.
It also says "supporting significantly higher throughput", so maybe the limitation to Gbps is only because it's a first test.
No, but I haven't done that either for the linux kernel and the other FOSS software already on my machine. Right now I have no reason to doubt the app faithfully implements the protocol, and I rely on the "many eyes" to catch errors and sabotage attempts.
They use Apple as well. The account for the EUDI (EU Digital Identity) project includes 81 repositories, of which 11 have "android" in the name, 17 have "iOS", and one is called "cross platform". The latter specifies minimum requirements as Android 10 or iOS 16 and says "you can build it yourself using Xcode for iOS" https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Feu-digital-...
DirtyFrag does not work on Android https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2FV4bel%2Fdirty...
Is the code open source and inspectable?
See the repo for the main app (with instructions to build and test) https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Feu-digital-...
Letter i is pronounced like word "bit" (short) or "key" (long) on the European continent. English is the one that differs from the group https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2F...
The privacy standards: The website only gets to know 1 bit of information (whether your age is above a threshold), the government does not get to know which website you consult, multiple verifier services can be used (you can choose one you trust); the protocol was designed openly; the app is open source.

People are abandoning the concept of an EV. The price of gas is damn near irrelevant with the EV price tag premium.
Maybe in your place, but it's the exact opposite in the EU. Some publications are calling gas car sales in the EU a "historical collapse" (in French: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sports-cars.fr%2Fart... ). Meanwhile EV sales have seen +48.9% in Europe in March, taking the market share from 18.8% last year to over 20% in 2026Q1 ( in French: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ev-magazine.fr%2Fart... ), and are now forecasted to reach 27% by the end of this year (in French: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.borne-electrique.f... ). Several Chinese models among the most sold, forcing all car makers into lower prices, such that there is no significant premium anymore.
Linux distros and Postgres both heavily rely on US code.
This is not question they're trying to address. The origin of the code does not matter, you can can fork it, audit it, and you can hire thousands of people to work on it. For example HarmonyOS is a Chinese OS and it does not matter if it depends (or used to depend) on Android. The important question is loyalty. Those who can access sensitive data and those who can disrupt the operations (engineers, managers, executives alike) should not be submitted to the laws of foreign governments.
Where do you buy stuff? Last year I got an external SSD Sandisk 2TB (SDSSDE30-2T00-G26) for ~160-180 € (I forgot the exact value) from a physical retailer. It's now 209.90 € from my retailer, and 207.69 € from Amazon.
I do feel like a characteristic of a nazi does involve hate for Jews and an advocation for their extermination.
I don't mean to interrupt your discussion with the OP, just to reply on one detail.
One can define "nazi" as "someone who agrees with the proposal in Mein Kampf". Then a degree of Jew-hating is involved. But this does not have to be the only definition for a nazi. The same way we don't define anymore the political Left and Right by the seating order at the French National Assembly from 1789, or Liberalism by "someone who agrees with Adam Smith". We use updated criteria that fit today's society.
Historical Nazis hated Jews, but also hated other minorities present in Germany in the 1920s. They sought to exterminate the Disabled already in 1924, a decade before conceiving the same idea about Jews. They also committed genocide against the Romani (Gypsies). They did focus on Jews, I believe, because Jews represented the largest of their targeted minorities.
I think that if Nazism would be born for first time today, it's possible it would not focus on Jews, because Jews aren't much a topic of national importance in today's Germany. Because the minority du jour in Germany is Muslims and Refugees, a new Nazism would seek persecution of those.
Their broader definition has to do with race superiority, brutal hate for minorities, and seeking purifying a country (through genocide) from people of different races, religions, cultures.

What a fool you are to believe that governments should NOT fear the people.
Alright, I concede you that point. I did not really want to take a stance on whether the government should/should not be afraid. My point is that since this stance was very sensible two centuries ago, and independently of its value as a concept, is simply inapplicable today. You're fooling yourself if you believe "government should be afraid" argument has any *practical* relevance.
Governments have tens of thousands of staff, hundreds of billions in budget, and designed to be prepared to any adverse eventuality, including enemy tanks in the streets and atomic bombs flying over. There is no scenario where an individual stands a chance.
Today, any individual identified as a danger is routinely circled with a hundred officers, helicopters, dogs. A well-equipped, well-trained, motivated individual might make the decision to hit as many officers / officials as possible before being inevitably taken down, but that's still never going to be a danger for the government as a whole. Any success in murdering an important target will just result in large increase of a the security budget or stricter practices, making sure the same scenario can't happen again.
an you grok the parallels in American culture, seeing why personal gun ownership is so important ?
Tell me, how successful are armed Americans at beating SWAT units sent to get them? You probably share the typical American view that "the government should be afraid of the people". It might have worked a century or two in the past, when outlaws were playing level with the Sheriff. Right now, personal gun ownership in the context of a rebellion equates to suicide by police.
An authority is a person who can tell you more about something than you really care to know.
