Temasek is a Singapore Government fund, so that's taxpayer money it lost to a savage grift. If it wasn't a one-party state where the opposition is suppressed, that might be uncomfortable for the government.

Why would you assume radar needs the same justification as nuclear weapons, when there are lots of export controlled products and ideas already that aren’t justified by the specific or immediate threat of thermonuclear war, e.g., encryptio

It doesn’t matter if I independently invent nuclear weapons, I’m still not currently allowed to open source them for other people, possibly in other countries, to use. It's funny you mentioned nuclear weapons. Nuclear design informa

Oh yeah, just wanted to provide some necessary context for those reading our links. I'm not sure I'd put the case that Australian elections are overall counted particularly fast, they do seem to be well resourced though.

Signal on Android previously worked a lot like iMessage on iOS - you'd use it as your default messenger, it'd SMS if that was the lowest common denominator, or it'd seamlessly upgrade to Signal protocol if both sides had it.

Signal hasn't supported using SMS as a transport for encrypted messages for years now. The impending change that people are discussing is dropping support for sending and receiving ordinary SMS from non-Signal-using parties.

The heated seats are pre-installed and you pay for it, whether you activate the subscription or not. You can't choose a cheaper, non-heated seat, as far as I know. The cost of the heated seats has to be covered by the actual purchase
