Yeah it's only been recently since the nut and soy milk have started eating into the profits of dairy farmers that they've started being all up in arms. Look for vegan cheeses and vegi burgers to be the next targets. The also went after mayonnaise substitutes as well. It's just a move to use the legal system to student stifle free market competition.
Well, there are a lot of products that are deliberately deceptive and apparently not being regulated sufficiently, so I'm not so quick to say "free market uber alles".
For instance, I noticed recently that a drink that said it contained "natural flavoring" had sucralose in it. I guess sweet isn't legally a flavor maybe, but from the perspective of a consumer, it's hard to tell if this sort of thing is caused by finding clever loopholes or just by ignoring rules completely.
You can't fall back on "just read the label" when you're given a mixture of contradictory, inaccurate, or ambiguous information that is training you to ignore the label.
I can see the 007 getaway now. With a press of the button, a bunch of tiny transponders are thrown on the road. The bad guy's cars automatically brake because they can't find a way to get around the new obstacles.
My thought was that it would be an excellent, low knowledge way of figuring that out. For example, if it said type "qwerty" and it came through as "azerty", that would get you 95% of the way to having a fully functional keyboard. Mapping out the requisite keys needed to fully identify the keys could probably be done with a fairly short number of key presses for 99+% of likely keyboards.
For this case, I am assuming that the keyboard and os language are fairly compatible, at least translatable.
If you wanted ride sharing to be treated the same as traditional taxis, you could erase the difference in people's minds by referring to them as the same thing.

I am a creative problem solver with a passion for automation. I have extensive systems administrator and full stack
software engineering experience. I believe problems are growth opportunities. I am looking for a company that I can
grow with. I prefer to show rather than tell.
For putting the thermal mass above the food, could a workaround be to put a heat sink on the bottom of the lid, and connect it to the thermal mass with an equally heat conductive material?
Also, before I saw what the heat sink was, I wondered if you could use shotcrete on the walls of the freezer, to act as the thermal mass.
The chest style is optimal because with a traditional freezer-on-top refrigerator, you lose a lot of cold air each time you open the door. Whereas with the chest style, hardly anything is lost because the cold air doesn't rise.
I think we might be talking about different kinds of optimality.
I think the chest style is best for total energy consumption. But as we saw, his biggest problem was around thermal stability. If we put the freezer/fridge fan under computer control, you might be able to get more stable fridge temperatures despite the air loss because you can drive the freezer temperature much lower, getting more stability value from the thermal mass. (And it's also worth filling in any big air spaces in the fridge with more thermal mass, so that opening the door is not a big deal.)
