For example: the dual fuel engines that can burn gasoline or methane, where because of the design compromises for the two fuel convenience, neither fuel operates at optimal function.
Because the current elephant steak is lean and overcooks easily, the extra layer of fat being the operative advantage. Why eat a dry steak?
And don't get me started on the wooly hair... there won't be much of it at first, but they'll be more than a few 1st class passengers on Kuwait Airways willing to snuggle down with a trademarked Ultra Wooly Throw.
You're overthinking it, attempting to classify it as Famous IT person jammed up! or as Company you've ever heard of Rogue Employee Story.
This is a Classic Slashdottian morality play involving an otherwise intelligent IT worker who bewilderingly talks to the police and hands himself over to them.
And not for nothing, as the grandparent's viewpoint is a sound one... Why be unethical even if you believe you've been done dirty? Hold your head high on the way out the door saying, "I was looking for a job when I found this one." Even if you don't feel it right then, you will be right proud of yourself later on.
Smart people do dumb things when they're upset. According to TFA, he hacked into a protected computer to create the turmoil.
I'll bet you a dogecoin he believed he was clever enough not to leave any traces back to himself.
Inexperienced with law enforcement methods (or perhaps the consequences/repercussions anomaly), it probably didn't occur to him what one of the first lines of inquiry would be.
The supercaps would be more like permanent batteries, and could be implemented in applications where retrieving a dead battery is inefficient.
This is potentially groundbreaking. Current battery tech leaves a lot to be desired, the materials being used are finite, and it's possible there are no more great leaps in efficiency using chemicals to store energy.
This is an entirely different way to store energy and the tech is in its infancy... storage capacities will likely improve with research.
One of the great advantages of this new tech is the super capacitor can be charged and discharged for millions of cycles, versus thousands of cycles for existing battery technology.
Nice. Campaign contribution reform would remove some of the idiocracy, but so would your solution, much the same as telephone industry regulation that forced ATT to divest itself of the network of poles to level that playing field.
I empathize, nay, am nearly envious of folks who still wear the comforting cloak of naivity, as I did growing up in an earlier American generation.
Political corruption always exists. The extent to which it affects you is parallel to the degree your ruling class is allowed to interfere in your private lives.
Your country's government is not the one of the last high-minded do-gooders the World has to offer.
Marijuana is nothing more than a condiment, a spice if you will.
It doesn't encourage it's users to rob liquor stores or eat the face off each other, and unlike it's completely legal cousin alcohol, it is not a leading cause of family violence... I will bet a lot of the children of abusive alcoholics wish their dads would've smoked a little reefer.
On the negative side of the list, weed does take a few points off of the old IQ in exchange for a helping of spontaneous creativity, and truth be told, it's not healthy to inhale the fruits of any burning matter.
There is indeed an occasional Spiccoli Peak if you catch that lightning in a bottle, and that's when you can Melange up and fold space. Yes, creative people seeking innovative solutions might be on the watch list.
Occasionally (depending on the individual LEO, the circumstances, and your flawless delivery) you can use a truthful response to your advantage during a roadside interview.
Believe you me, the cops don't get blunt honesty a great deal, and some find it quite refreshing.
Caveat: YMMV. There would be a much greater probability of a positive outcome if you were admitting to some minor marijuana use versus having a body in the trunk.
I'm going to stop short of assessing values such as good, bad, right, and wrong to the behavior of governments.
Information gathering is advantageous to each and every sovereign nation, and though the US is in the fire presently as the preeminent surveillance state, it would be difficult to imagine most other capable nations have passed on the opportunity to set up their own version of an American NSA. Akin to the MAD theory of the Cold War, I presume we exist in an era of mutually assured surveillance. Allowing a sovereign state to determine, to its own benefit or detriment, what constitutes legitimate or limited imparts an ability to choose for the greater good that not too many people possess.... let alone governments.
On the bright side, it's possible the power of surveilled intelligence will wane once many nations can do it equally well, and nations may find themselves less likely to attempt the development of secret evils if there's literally no chance secrets can be kept any longer.
The problem is that some nations want to enforce their rules on other nations.
I think it's fair to say all nations would like to enforce their rules on other nations.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Create a couple of giant hubs in the Atlantic and Pacific, controlled by NOBODY. Let countries that want to hook up to them hook up to them, and then regulate their own internet however they like. But they don't get to govern what other people in other countries say. The very idea is pretty obvious, unworkable, globalist-statist nonsense.
How do you administer these neutral giant hubs that you imagine will operate free of influence?
Everyone who's anyone is using electronic eavesdropping to supplement their Country's intelligence agenda.
If the United States took the high ground and refused to engage this, it would be to the detriment of the West, likely including the Country you've posted from.
This technology is already out there for everyone to exploit.... Once the toothpaste is out of the tube, it's hard to get back in.

Let's hope the rest of the earth's species don't adopt this plan to control the invasive naked apes.
Many systems designed to be idiot-proof fail because they just keep making a better idiot.

+ to you both.

Anyone in IT that might be disgruntled?

What happened to the good ole days when these contraptions were vetted on prisoner populations before being approved for widespread public use?

Infiltrate yourself into every little nook and cranny that can sustain you.
And, if evolution has given you the right mix of large brain and clever hands, you can alter the nooks and crannies to suit you.

Nothing against the white man, and full disclosure would reveal that my mother actually married one, but I'm just simple.
Anthropogenic anything is still nature's, and the universe's, hand at work...
Our super-sized egos aside, we are not separate from the rest of existence.
And the fact that Western power brokers allow their respective populaces the illusion of choice (suffrage),
encourages me that they don't believe they can just take what they want. Yet.
We try to have these other governments over, and you goddamn kids can't act right for even one night.
Regression analysis.
It makes proving a suspect guilty so much easier when you work backward from a known outcome.
All the major players do it, and all the major players know the other Countries do it.
Hell, Enemy of the State is a 1998 movie and the tinfoil hatters have been right about this one for years.
Since the time of Kings, he who spies best, has the attention of the rest.
If it's not the same disease, it's a relative.
It's Happening... the plants have finally recognized us for the enemy that we are.
