Which is awesome, but then it shouldn’t cost this much.

Unless if it’s made of some of the actually ultra high performance plastics, like maybe polycarbonate or carbon fiber reenforced PA-6/PPA for example, but I highly doubt that’s the case

Wow it’s really cool someone from a military background went into the field of cybersecurity!

Is this common at all in cybersecurity?

This can’t possibly be unintentional right?

Remember an aircraft carrier is not just an airport on a ship, it’s also the intelligence center and CIC of the entire battle group, so an aircraft carrier is equipped with literally the best radar and sensor suites of any vessel in the entire navy, that combined with the sheer number of people that will be on watch duty on such a massive ship, there is simply no possibility it could somehow “accidentally miss” a cargo ship to a point where a collision could happen.

While on the other side, Suez canal is some of the busiest shipping lanes in the world, so all cargo vessels follow strictly prescribed paths when leaving the canal, there’s no reason for one single exiting ship among a swarm of them to have gone out its way to have a chance to collide with an incoming vessel, one that’s has the best sensor suite as well as some of the most powerful propulsion capabilities.

Am I missing something here???

Counter argument: there is always government funds used inefficiently, there is always accounting practices that can be improved upon, a government system with perfect efficiency or is completely free from economic corruption does not exist. This simple matter of fact is NOT a justification of giving an individual, who’s not an elected governmental official and does not represent the interest of the nation and its people, the authority and power above the entire government, against the constitution.

It’s quite encouraging how these states are all from different parts of the US, with different overall cultural values and political stances, yet they are all united on the same side in this.

I hope this is a good sign something might actually work out here, I really hope

Simulator games, where people play with specialized hardware specifically modeled after real control systems on real world vehicles. Such as flight simulators, train simulators, tank simulators, etc.

Just because you play video games as an escape from reality, doesn’t mean video games have to be intentionally different from the reality.

Same!!! Or niche fields of studies, although there’s a lot less serious ones of that kind lol

It was the specific intention of the director Luc Besson, to create a story that feels like it was a dream, a fantasy of another world, and thus facilitate his narrative goal of allegory.

Whether he succeeded in that or did it in an effective way is a whole other problem, but it was NOT he tried to make the story as serious-toned as a psudo-documentary yet failed miserably.

I think what matters more, or perhaps at least in Valve’s perspective, is that microtransactions are inherently binding between the game’s developer/publisher and the player, so the game’s developer/publisher is the sole party held accountable here (by Valve), while ads inherently involve and invite a 3rd party advertiser, muddying the situation for everybody. While on the other hand, microtransactions can only be done for content already a part of the game, while ads serve content outside the scope of the game.

So this is much much more enforceable for Valve, while DLC and microtransactions marketing is already subject to the established rules on Steam.

I agree with your points, but what do you think are some of the specific things Google or other similar tech companies in such a similar capacity could realistically and meaningfully do object the Musk-Thiel-Trumpian destruction machine?

I would like to learn more

Though to be fair cringe is like right in the very blood to Google anyway so what would you expect…

I mean, just look at how they often respond on their bug tracker platform of most of their products and how they try to justify their endless streams of questionable design decisions, that seems to be characteristic of them at this point lol

Ooo I see! That’s awesome!

Yeah unfortunately we don’t have hundred-years data on them lmao but at least it would still be interesting to see how examples of such disk go as years and decades go by :p

So they are aware of how terrible ads are and they intentionally want to keep it this way, so that they can sell advertisers “better ads” for higher premium as a form of product and price diversification, with those “better” products they offer eventually end up being terrible and make the ads situation as a whole worse, so they can keep introducing new kinds of “better ads” product to have a “justified” way of asking even more money from advertisers?

What exactly happened to the DVDs in the basement? That’s really interesting, indeed DVDs also claimed 100+ years of life span, but as you can see that’s only the theoretical maximal in perfect conditions, which don’t exist in real life, and the same thing happened to your DVDs can happen to Blu-Ray disks too

Could make for one hell of a redemption arc lol /s

Wow today I learned that’s actually a thing!

Thanks for this package of info! XD

Unfortunately law enforcement is one of the many specific “exceptions” in the new EU bill, the bill is criticized for having many such loopholes for law enforcement and immigration control.

The new EU bill is definitely really important because having such a bill is wayyyy better than having no bill until much later, but I feel like this is going to backfire so much in the near future.

Not to mention Valve spearheaded major development for making Linux gaming like 200% better than it used to be, with development of Proton and everything, and giving all those work back to the entire gaming community as open source products entirely for free, bring in momentum for an entire industry.

That’s a company you support.
