And when they identify one of these they still need to act. How quickly and efficiently can they get interceptors up in the air and vectored in? How operational are their ground-based anti-air capabilities and do they dare shoot something down? And how much coverage do they actually have?

And they'll argue "you don't need [all the things that make this company great]". And then we'll wonder how a once leading company is dying on their now crappy products/services.

It listens to mobile phones and radios.

The kind of spy plane used to hunt down Pablo Escobar, not the kind to photograph troop movements in the USSR.

He's but a humble super man. Puts one boot after the other like any other.

The DEA will probably give her honorary agent status.

History is going to have a doozy with this period.

Kids will be asking teachers if they are messing with them.

One would think they would omit some of the ridiculous/embarrassing bits if they go full fascist and rewrite history.

But at this point anything is possible.

With allies like these, who needs enemies?

Yep, download perfect quality FLACs from Bandcamp and self-host them.

I only saw a YouTuber make fun of their "Christopher Columbus did nothing wrong video" (not the actual title).

Their argumentation is terribly weak.

The company is known for making quirky hardware, usually niche musical instruments with creatively chosen knobs, switches, cute UIs and such.

They figured they could ride the AI hype wave based on their expensive niche audience but it's blowing up in their face.

The more you think about it, the better/worse it gets.

They couldn't fly from Japan to Hawaii even using the more reasonable route. They were brought nearer using aircraft carriers.

The Doolittle Raid launched longer-range bombers from US carriers to hit Japan and they were lightened up to the max (dumped their guns and anything else non-essential) and planned from the get-go to ditch over China because flying back would be impossible.

Being able to fly a bomber halfway across the World was beyond WW2 tech.

Just be aware that "woke" is a very charged term. It has been hijacked by the alt-right to critique anything they say that's going against their conservative values. It is so vague that even alt-right pundits fail to define what the word means. It basically translates to "I'm out of touch and I don't like this".

The word you might want to use instead is "pandering" which Hollywood (and mass media in general) has been doing it since forever. Basically it's insincerely showing support for some values just for the money. Which Disney has and is very much doing here being. But the alt-right will throw that label on genuine actions and media simply because it goes against their worldview and it becomes very inconsistent (e..g, strong super-agent man fantasy fine, strong super-agent woman fantasy is "woke").

A meter is defined as a thing but the distance traveled by light in 1/299792458 of a second may not be the most evocative reference for the common person.

People are quoting sci-fi examples but they have been tried (and many failed) in the past. They are cities built, owned and operated by a corporation like Ford with Fordlandia in Brazil. Rent? Shops? All company-run.

Technically Disney has their own special district in Florida and have a lot of Government-like powers over it.

ours ,

Good on you guys, corpofascist bullshit shouldn't be tolerated.

As for Disney and DeSantis fighting it out over each other's bullshit and the special district, "let them fight" comes to mind.

Fordlandia failed but that was the idea: work, live, and spend your money there.

All the ways streaming services are aggravating their subscribers this week ( arstechnica.com )

Below is a look at the most exasperating news from streaming services from this week. The scale of this article demonstrates how fast and frequently disappointing streaming news arises. Coincidentally, as we wrote this article, another price hike was announced....

ours ,

The joke is on them, piracy was motivated by the extreme convenience of streaming to make it as convenient as ever.

ours ,

The bubble is bursting.

Competition caught up with Tesla's lead while Elon was too busy with his many side projects while somehow also micro-managing the company to death (e.g. Cybertruck).

He should have focused on scaling up manufacturing and driving the price per car down. But no, he had to chase the self-driving pipedream, launch a ridiculous pickup truck, and wreck the "genius" person he had built to replace with an alt-right one.

@comicstrips
@histodons

Panel 1 - Mel, an orange pentagon holding a large knife, runs toward Sam, a red circle, who is holding an Aztec Calendar stone. "Sam, I just saw the temple. Guess what the Aztecs do to appease Huitzilopochtli the god of the sun?"
Panel 2 - Mel waves her knife. "They rip people's hearts out!"
Panel 3 - Sam ponders. "Well, I suppose it could be worse."
Panel 4 - A closeup on Sam. He's upset. "...they could date you for six months first..."

That's one polyvalent god: agriculture, spring, metallurgy and war to name a few. In the context of skin wearing, the god of war role might be more relevant.

Because they fumbled it all so badly at every opportunity. Shady studio takeovers, disastrous launch, mismatched price...

What a damn shame

Fingerprint ID does not work with hashes, you need images. I've worked with NGOs and integrated biometric identification systems.

I haven't had to pull the iris data out but I'm certain they where also stored as bitmap images. In any case, the iris scanners most certainly sent images to us and not hashes. Why send an image if all you need is a hash?

In any case nobody outside can tell what some crypto scam is doing with those scans and I sure wouldn't trust them.

That would be the Top Gun movies.

They are sucking up to the US. First the NATO non membership partnership thing and now this.

It refers to a punishment for bad performance in ancient Roman armies: 1 in ten soldiers was killed.
