Last sentence of the article: > Operation of aircraft with four engines will be allowed in exceptional cases and only with a special permit. I'd imagine that Air Force One will not have any trouble obtaining the special permit.

I wasn't talking about visibility. I was referring to the marketing pictures showing the projectors essentially "projecting darkness" which is impossible. No part of a projected image can possibly be darker than the surface i

Looking at the marketing pages for the two projectors mentioned is hilarious. They show images projected onto brightly-lit white walls with areas that are significantly darker than the wall, which is of course impossible. Unless/until

In reality, corporations hold just as much if not more power over the Internet than governments. Even though a corporation can't physically lock you up, they can (and have, many times) give you a virtual "death penalty" if th

No mention of Cloudflare or Amazon, who arguably control more of the Internet than any of the entities listed in the article. Definitely more than any of the other corporations listed.

My question had nothing to do with morality (which is subjective, of course) but with legality. So I'm not sure what you're getting at.

As a "person of obesity" who sits at a desk all day and doesn't eat the healthiest diet, I 100% agree with this. When I decide to focus on being more active and eating healthier, my weight goes down. Do I have to work a littl

This is about as blatant as it gets. They were sued in 2018, lost, and agreed to make changes. They changed nothing, got sued again in 2020, and have now lost again. They deserve the max penalty.
