It's explicitly a teaser trailer. And what do we need to know really? It's a new Civ: they'll update the graphics, fiddle with the mechanics, and we'll have to wait and see if the changes work.

I'm reading the actual opinion [1], and I feel The EFF article misrepresents it. The case doesn't really hinge on aerial surveillance, but the telephoto lens they used on the flight. The cases sited in the opinion suggest that a n

This kind of spying seems necessary and appropriate to me, provided it is done under the appropriate legal framework. The security concern with Russia and Belarus are self evident now, and the security concerns around hosting a large dissid

What it says on the tin: psychosis triggered by cannabis. Its rare, but not that rare, and well established scientifically and anecdotally. It's debated whether cannabis causes it, or just exacerbates it, but give 100 random people a s

Sorry, "effectively" was an ambiguous word to use. I meant it in the sense of "for all practical purposes; in effect," rather than implying it was good. To be clear, I think the admins are mostly white knuckling the mode

It's not a test of someone's conversational skills, its a test of their technical communication. Conversational skills get tested in the small talk and introduction phases at the start and end of the interview.

I can help but think the missileers would be less depressed (it's a known problem) if some more attention was paid to aesthetics and comfort, given the amount of time they spent locked in there.

That's fair, but he didn't declare it broken in the ER after an x-ray. He declared it broken with a not visibly mangled finger, that by your own description would not have reached the painful point, so color me suspicious of the (

He's able to bend the finger after he "breaks" it, so it isn't broken, but that is a nasty crush. Edit: well it could be broken, but I'm suspicious without further evidence.

You're correct that the judge hasn't ruled yet. However, not very many people, lawyers or otherwise, seem to be buying what Google is selling here. These kinds of chats are routine in discovery and disappearing messages like on Si

There's a whole sub-industry of people bidding on government auctions in order to part out the stuff. I'd be pretty surprised if the whole cluster got reassembled. But people on a budget will buy those compute nodes, someone tryin

A big problem with dating apps (IMHO), is how they serve as data collections mechanism for advertisers. It's almost impossible to use them effectively without giving them tons of info (who you are, how old, where, what you like and don

You fell afoul of Poe's law [1]. People do read intent, but I think you're overestimating how clearly you communicated your intent. You say the /s was implied, but implied by what? It's a crazy statement for sure, but pe

$5/month + domain is going to be at least $70 a year. Whether that's cheap or expensive depends heavily on your personal situation, and what you're getting out of the site.

There won't be fully autonomous ships for transoceanic shipping until all the maintenance can be done autonomously too. Perhaps you can eliminate most of the bridge crew, but the engineers aren't going anywhere anytime soon.

The power transmission to the spoons remind me of the rod line powered jack pumps in early oil fields. You can still find 100 year old wells with that kind of power distribution but they are rare https://www.youtube.com/watc
