    >> the proper way to solve this is via a tender
    Nope. That's the old way from the last millenium for governments to waste money. Welcome in 2019.
    Still, the field is level, the commercial companies can pick up the FOSS and sell it with good support. Everybody wins, it's good for fair competition.

    Exactly.
    MS is always at least 10 years behind in tech, but not this time ! This time they are really over 20 years behind.

    Really, they should have recommended to use Firefox (Or Netscape) one or two decades ago.

    That's B.S.
    The thing about free Open source software, is everybody can use it under the exact same conditions.
    So it's fair, because that same company can just sell it also.

  17. Youre right.
    The answer is no, and the full article is bullshit.
    Anyone who knows a thing on ATC knows cameras are not involved and are not a good idea to locate planes.

    Furthermore, current A.I. has absolutely no accountability and traceability on the decisions and guesses it makes, making it totally unsuitable for safety critical applications.

  19. No.
    We don't care about your mother.

  20. The thing is nuclear is not cheap at all, and it'S cost will only increase.
    Usual electricity pricing for nuclear does not take in account the cost of cleanup, which is extremely high.
    Also, nuclear base load has to give way to renewables today, which means it is not baseload any more, and so the general load factor will reduce, driving costs of nukes up.

  21. >> How will France confirm who the attacker really is

    Easy. Throw dice.
    If you get a 1,2,5, the attacker is China
    If you get a 3 or 4, the Attacker is Russia
    If you get a 6, it's China and Russia acting together.
