On the one hand I don't love it, on the other hand I can't blame them and have 0 issues with it. As long as they're only recording inside their store, what's the problem? Literally every large store/chain has over

It took them a decade and a half because Boeing learned the hard way that you have to actually be efficient when you don’t get a cost plus contract. Their entire system was setup to extract as much money from the government as possible, no

He wasn’t off the internet. He just determined his modem was hacked. Given it had been hacked for who knows how long, what’s one more day? They responded to his api submission in 6 hours.

It's probably easier to just blanket scrub everything beyond a small set of allowed information (like positive articles about the party) than to selectively delete. Why do they care if valuable information is lost?

So the Russian social media farms are working. Is there some corruption in politics? Absolutely. Are the youth who think things are horrible completely out of touch with reality? Absolutely. I think if any of them had to spend a month in

No, it's an attempt to deflect any thoughtful discussion about the actual topic. Instead of providing anything of substance about the subject matter, you attempt to gaslight people into an argument about something else entirely. If yo

Whataboutism really has no place in the discussion but is a pretty common and documented Russian tactic to deflect any responsibility.

Question: what sets this apart from say, boox? And in comparison, it seems a battery life of days feels a bit low - is that just a conservative estimate? Is that days with all-day use? Note: I have literally nothing to do with boox other

So you didn't click the link? Because ULA wasn't second, rocket labs had 9 launches last year and 24 scheduled this year. As I said, the launch industry in the US is robust.
