The framing of this story right from the start is disingenuous. The Microsoft job losses are explicitly reported as "part of a broader strategy to streamline operations and accelerate its AI initiatives." Immediately followed by r

It's explained further down the page that this launch time will facilitate the Indian Ocean landing in sunlight, for improved visual capture of that.

The axiom: AI allows wealth to access skill, while denying skill access to wealth, ringing especially loud from this story.

The follow up Episodes One and Two are fantastic. And the leaked storyline for Episode Three looking really strong as well. I hold out hope that the Crowbar Collective (the group that remade Half-Life with the Source engine and called it Bl

Threes! was literally the perfect game at launch. Of course, the shitty free clone 2048 took the concept, made it worse, and somehow (because it was free) captured the majority of the market. I still play Threes! regularly as well.

1) Horrible headline. Why can't we focus on the positive test objectives met. SpaceX made it clear that getting off the pad was the main goal, everything else was bonus. 2) This topic already exists as a post/thread here: https:&

While it may eventually deliver results, the primary goal of the SLS is a massive jobs programme, across the states of the politicians that support it.

I think you have a typo at the start of your second paragraph. Fairly certain you're calling out the few planes that are inherently UNstable there :)

Just to be contrarian, I like the ending. Always be wary of over-explaining in stories, especially in science fiction.

But the Matrix was specifically set at the time of "peak human civilization, 1999". I'm starting to wonder if they weren't wrong about that.

This is correct. For example, when I connect my iPhone to my provided work wi-fi, and I get a Tinder notification. I can partially see the message on the lock screen (once Face ID authenticates), but as Tinder is blocked on the wi-fi if I w
