It is a lot of money lost if it comes out that you lied to some of your biggest clients.
Not if your customers are reticent to even admit being a customer in the first place.
To absolutely no one's surprise.

NATO countries' governments and military use phones with encrypted communications to which the US has the keys. This fact was made available during investigation into the Polish government plane crash in Smolensk. The US authorities have access to the recordings of the calls made by the late president of Poland, but said they would not make them available. source: https://www.money.pl/archiwum/wiadomosci/artykul/usa;…
>NATO countries' governments and military use phones with encrypted communications to which the US has the keys. What do these phones look like and who manufactures them?

Poland isn’t a dictatorship, it’s an EU member state and a member of NATO. Also let’s not compare malware/spyware to nuclear weapons. Poland can get their hands on any weapon or controlled technology they pretty much want.
Pegasus is notoriously sold to more than 40 countries worldwide, among them a fair share of dictatorships: Saudi Arabia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, (Hungary?), Bahrain, Russia...

That's no doubt an artifact of HN's 80 char title limit, which required the submitter to shorten the title. Edit: I've changed it now.
Is 80 still the hard limit? I see it warns if too long when typing in a new submission. However, HN guidelines don't provide guidance in what to do if the title is too long.

> The former top European Union official’s party only won 30% of the vote compared to the 36% of his incumbent conservative, EU-skeptical rivals, the Law and Justice (PiS) party, but was nonetheless able to assemble a coalition of leftists to take power. Just one party in this coalition is from the left. The rest is decidedly centre to centre-right. Hard to treat this piece seriously.
Doesn’t even matter, coalition governments are a central feature of parliamentary democracies with roughly proportional elections. Anyone who can form a coalition can rightfully govern. Those who get the most votes don’t automatically get to govern.
