I work in software and we're permanently work from home. (I don't want to name my employer but they're a medium sized company)

Among scientists there wasn't any significant doubt twenty years ago. It was just spin doctors trying to pretend otherwise.

There's no such thing as Miranda rights in Australia - that's an American law. We do however have "the right to silence", and must be informed of that right by police on arrest so it has a similar effect.

It was an attempted ad hominem attack which backfired on her. A stupid argument in the first place and even more stupid because she got it wrong.

LiFePo4 batteries have lower energy density than other Lithium Ion batteries and they're more expensive. So while they have much longer life your EV running LiFePo4 is going to have shorter range.

That depends on the country you live in. In Australia for instance anything that looks like a "sale" must be an actual sale of a product and can't be something else sneakily disguised as a sale. It's illegal for services like Steam or app stores to deny you access to software you've bought on their platform in Australia.

That doesn't mean it hasn't happened before though.

A few years ago I tried to register a domain name which included the word "purple". I was told I couldn't because HP had trademarked the word "purple" so it was off the list of registerable words. I pointed out that my domain was in no way related to their purple laptops and I was told tough, no-one could for any reason register any domain which included the word "purple" because HP now owned the dictionary word "purple".
