On the other hand, even if the town council takes concerns seriously and denies permission to build, the companies doing the building will just sue and build them anyways[1].
> could things be better if we had an explicitly designed interoperability interface?
Yes, we could define a language-agnostic binary interoperability standard with it's own interface definition language, or IDL. Maybe call it something neutral like the component object model, or just COM[1]. :)
Most of those companies make huge margins by suckering large organizations into outrageous contracts. I don't see how AI moves the needle on this one way or the other.

I'd be curious to know if there was any pattern as to which users were targeted, but the post doesn't go into any further detail except to say it was likely a Chinese state-sponsored group.

>Over the last two years, the state transportation agency has spent more than $62,000 on repairs related to guardrail theft in the region.
If the full cost of replacement is ~$31k/yr, the scrap value of the stolen guardrails is surely far less. Seems like there wouldn't be enough for even a single thief to make a living.
Aerospace programs can have extremely long timelines in the private sector, too. Variants of the Boeing 737 have been produced since 1966. While the recent MAX versions were flawed and Boeing has some real quality issues, you can still get service parts for the original airframe.
It's about looking at supply vs demand. Electrical devices are often labeled by the minimum voltage they require to operate. 110 V is commonly used because the device can operate reliably on a 120 V distribution system.
While that is certainly admirable, if you’re choosing between half a dozen options, it would be difficult for most people to buy them all and return the ones they don’t want after testing.
I don't think they offer anything unique. Forgejo[1] offers a similar platform.
