| Banks do not sell down debt they are confident in
... I have no claim to expertise but both of these can't be true.
I wouldn't worry about it anyway, you can be sure when the day comes "they'll be to big to fail".
I mean if you have insurance I don't know why it's costing you anything but regardless it's hardly surprising that you're cost is less than the person paying cash ?
I also use Firefox on Android, I have less experience of using other browsers on mobile but what I've got is fine for me.
I'm not questioning your experience but I would like others, who might be considering using Firefox, to know that different people have different experiences.
No idea how intelligent he is, I wouldn't say I've seen any obvious signs of outstanding cerebral capabilities.
As to his education, he got a 2.1, quite respectable but given the resources employed (Eton and Oxford) in his education anything less would have been shameful.
I believe that while the Parliamentary Standards Committee can order a suspension, the prospect of a recall election is not due to the committee ordering it but rather sufficient electors in the Member's constituency petitioning for it.
The recall election only becomes a possibility if any suspension is greater than ten days in length.
I do wonder if Farage will decide to drop out before the vote.
Farage, more than most people, seems to strongly dislike ridicule and to lose a good deal of his vote to a comedy candidate would significantly damage his long term political prospects. If the polls look really bad for him it might be better to cut and run.
If that happened it would be difficult for the Count as I assume he would win the seat, but having to be a reasonably behaved MP is an onerous task and one that he might prefer not to take on.
On the subject of the governance structure this [1] is worth a read ...
"The company significantly limits shareholders' rights to sue. SpaceX's bylaws will make it clear that anyone who owns shares "irrevocably and unconditionally" waives all rights to pursue a jury trial. Shareholders will also be prohibited from bringing class actions against the company, its directors, officers, controlling shareholders or bankers tied to the IPO, according to the filing.
Instead, shareholders will be subject to mandatory arbitration, which had long been illegal in the U.S. The Securities and Exchange Commission reversed its position, opens new tab in September, allowing companies to adopt mandatory arbitration policies, which are private proceedings overseen by arbitrators."
... I can't remember how much he spent in Pennsylvania but you might argue it was money well spent.

None of this touches on standing charges, I don't know how that works in the USA, in Australia for an average household it runs at AUD 1.00/day to AUD 1.50/day (USD 0.70/day to USD 1.00/day). For an average household the standing charge is going to add 15 to 20% to the tariff.
May not be much in world terms but here in NZ national demand maxes out at around 5.5GW so bringing another GW on stream would be quite handy. Most of the geothermal is a lot closer to Auckland* than our hydro is so so that would be another positive aspect.
* Auckland has 25% of the population so a corresponding amount of energy has to be pushed its way.
Masked passwords were boring when passwords were typically 'goeagles' but now they're 'Justlongenough22!' they're a real barrier to anybody who doesn't type the string multiple times a day.
If you really think that someone staring over the users shoulder is a genuine risk factor than allow people to turn it on, not (if the user is lucky) allow them to turn it off.
In the case of the AWS scenario someone driving by who decides to nick it?
Or the courier puts the box down upside down?
Just by the way is a package delivery company going to be willing to deliver a package to an abandoned lot?
Your solar panel equipped, "rest and recharge" idea is interesting.
"So what is the plan now?" - "Move a little faster and not break things"
I'm not advocating on BG's behalf but your suggestion pre-supposes that his activities exceeded those he has already admitted to. I don't know whether they did or not, but I think it's worth noting that Epstein was very keen to make contacts with influential people and then boast of those contacts. It's at least worth considering what while boasting he made up some stuff about the nature of his activities with those people. For that reason I'm not willing to assume that everyone who ever had contact with Epstein was involved in child sex crimes.
For more than a century the majority of those who sit in the House of Lords have been "Life Peers", appointed by a politician and without any heriditary aspect. They include such towers of statepersonship as : Evgeny Lebedev (Russian businessman, son of a KGB officer); Alexander Lebedev (another Russian businessman, he's actually been in the KGB); Charlotte Owen (junior aide to Boris Johnson for three years) ... the list goes on.
This isn't new (although in recent time the dodginess has risen to new highs) and many of those appointed to Life Peerages meet the goal of having significant life experience they can use to illuminate aspects of legislation that might otherwise be missed. Equally heriditary peers are not all some Wodehousian stereotype of bumbling idiots.
FWIW the majority of all criminal cases in the UK are dealt with by either a single judge, or three judges[1]. This is hardly surprising as assembling a jury is vastly time consuming and for minor criminal matters is hard to justify.

... plus it would require "tech firms" to actually modify their behaviour and that would never do.
They ran the exact same question with the same forced choice between "drive" and > "walk," no additional context, past 10,000 real people through their human feedback platform.
71.5% said drive.
Surely a key determinant in making your project closed source is your willingness to cut yourself off from dependencies with strong copyleft licences? And, correct me if I'm wrong, this is true at whatever depth of dependency the copyleft licensed dependency is found, which in some environments ("hello npm registry") is going to exclude an awful lot of code.
