I would like to extrapolate on that lottery theory of yours and say that "some" of us are smart enough to take action and advantage of those lucky coincidences your talking about while many just let them pass us by.
That extrapolation is completely baseless. The chances are low enough without it, there is no reason for accusing people of failing to take advantage of something -- that is, unless you are trying to justify the "Just World" fallacy.
X isn't network transparent and hasn't been for many years.
Of course, it is network-transparent -- I use it over the network right now.
Seriously, this is Microsoft astroturfers are trying to shout down all opposition to Wayland witn nonsense, because they want to promote an inferior direction of development. There is no other explanation, no one else is interested in Wayland -- not Google, not Apple, not Oracle, not even Canonical, yet there is a constant stream of nonsense "supporting" Wayland with copypasta and blatantly false claims like the above.
You are incorrect. X forwarding still requires giving your local host permission to the x server.
And here is the proof that you have no idea what are you talking about.
1. The "server" in question is your local X server. 2. If you use anything under X, you have access to X server BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT DISPLAYS EVERYTHING YOU SEE.
This is the quality of Windows astroturfers and Ballmer's fanboys, they don't even bother to get the most fundamental knowledge before "discussing" it by copy-pasting random words. Go, kill all your friends, then yourself.
Asserted without proof. Why do you need to fly the drone so "unsafely" to see the fire? Oh yeah, because you are lying sack of shit who will spew lies to prove your opinion to be fact When your opinion is neither correct, nor fact.
No, it's because those drones are small. Of course, a plane-size drone would work just fine, but then there is no benefit from it being a drone, it would be just more expensive.
They used to fight lots of fires without planes. You know even less about fighting fires than you know about drones, and you know nothing about drones (and nothing about planes, though you probably have flown, given the jackassery you've shown about aircraft).
Fighting forest fires was pretty bad over the whole early history of it. Helicopters and planes improved things significantly.
And yes, I am a pilot and a firefighter, though I've never flown related to a fire action. And I own a recreational drone.
And you also didn't fly a ridiculous bird-shaped drone over a forest fire, I guess.
Yeah, but $10,000,000 for a single helicopter (about what they end up paying for a decent helicopter for a fire department) vs 1000 $10,000 drones and tell me which is the better deal.
A plane, because 1000 out of 1000 drones will still fail in conditions when one plane will succeed.
The fire department is more likely to have to choose between a drone or nothing.
If fire department can't afford a plane to look at fires, it better should stay away from fighting them.
And an airplane ot a helicopter flying somewhat higher, will do the same, better, and won't be torn into pieces by localized streams of hot air rising from the fire and dragging cold air from around themselves.
"Let's pretend, it always was illegal" is easier than actually making something illegal, no matter how worthless and disgusting it is.
Case in point: Roe vs. Wade. Of course, it is based on invalid reasoning. But that's easier than telling misogynistic bible-thumpers in power that they should shut up and respect basic human dignity.
"Joy" as you put it is difficult to truly experience when you know you are one accident away from being jobless and then homeless.
But everyone always is. Actually everyone is one accident away from being dead, it just depends on the accident, however all those things are pretty common, people just don't realize that until it happens to them.
I did this for the first decade of my working life and then didn't *need* to work any more.
Minimal food cost for 50 years: at least $400K. House: $200K-$2M depending on the location. Alternatively, somewhat modest apartment rent for 50 years: $300K-2M depending on the location. Utilities for 50 years: $60K-$200K. Total: $660K-4.6M
Those goals still form the focus of my motivation, even 7 years after I first wrote them down.

One of the most important is financial independence – I want my day job to be a lifestyle choice, not a requirement.
Translation: "I can't function in a society, and never will have any joy until I am rich enough to do whatever I want". Here is the reality: you will never be that rich. No one ever will.
Go, ask someone currently in any of those countries, or find archives of their newspapers from that time. I am sure, even the most tinfoil hat wearing American patriots would consider that a valid source to find out how those countries were called by locals.
In fact, the universal attitude amongst family living in various western European nations is that the government is going to do whatever it damn well pleases.
What is still infinitely better than government doing whatever big businesses ask.
At least in the US people still hold the hope that the government will listen to them.
When they will be multi-billionaires. This is a part of American ideology -- that if they are worthy, they will be rich, and everyone who is not, is either guilty of some inexcusable sin, or on the way to become rich. In other words, Catholicism with market and money instead of god.
Should be "post-USSR governments", to be more clear. They all were former governments of USSR members, but they did not develop or implement their own economic policy while they were still in the Union.
My point, sir, is that if you don't think that has had a significant economic effect on the region, you don't think at all.
And your point is wrong. What did have significant economic effect on the region, was "market economy" promoted by ex-USSR government after they seized the power. Dissolution of the Union had no economic causes and no direct economic consequences, it brought incompetent and malicious people to power, who orchestrated the looting of the economy, and now have the gall to blame USSR for the crisis they have created.
"Balkanization" is a general name of the process. It has nothing to do with any particular causes or mechanisms, political or economical. Balkans themselves have history of racism, conquests by various empires, and plain bad government.
USSR was dissolved by decision of three people (Yeltsin, Kuchma and Shushkevich) in one meeting, as those three were heads of three major USSR members (of fifteen total) while Gorbachev looked like an idiot after a bunch of his subordinates in USSR government staged a coup against him. Basically, USSR members' Presidents gave themselves more power by "upgrading" their USSR-member states to independent countries, without listening to anyone and anything.
Right-wing nutters do deserve some credit -- they amplified Gorbachev's stupidity and provided charlatan economists to Yeltsin's administration. Not that there is much to be proud of in that.

Well, assuming that the ssh admin has permitted ssh forwarding.
There is no "ssh admin", it's the user.
And that you invoked your ssh client with the appropriate flags.
You mean, -X ?
And that you export the DISPLAY variable on the remote host. And that you set your xhost permissions on your own host.
X11 ssh forwarding avoids that by providing a proxy. You are ignorant and probably stupid.

"Authors and inventors", does not mean researchers The person who makes a scientific discovery is a researcher.
Also, that document is written in archaic English that no one should even pretend to understand now.
Genuine question: how does someone researching gene therapies then commercialize their research without patents; what is the process?
Same way he does now, by going to work and being paid salary. Most likly by NIH, directly or indirectly (or similar organization in other countries).
Oh, you mean, some parasite executive? Then no, he won't. Nothing wrong with that.
12 years ago it was 2001.
DMCA is from 1998.

Probably because small UAVs are terrible for firefighting to begin with.

Huh, that may explain all the odd looks...
Are you sure the even ones were any better?
At least they weren't from people wearing stereotypical pirate outfits, as eyepatch automatically changes the parity of your look to odd.
