Aww. Now kiss and make an international treaty, you two

The logic is that government and laws are backed up with the threat of violence. Unless you can beat them with violence, then you have to play within their rules.

At least they have a system of rules you can play within. Think of a place like North Korea. Being a sovereign there isn’t going to get you anywhere but dead.

There are no such things as rights. They are theoretical. Rights are just rules that those with power decided to let you have. Best we can do is try as a collective to make sure that laws provide more good than harm.

So it comes down to what matters more to you: Being right or being free as possible from violence

People will knock on the door if there is no bell. I’d say have a doorbell but don’t have it hooked up to anything. Hated when I lived in a place with only a door knocker, would always jump when there was knocking

So what’s the star rating in their lore?

Unless they are a worm

Losing your job with 0 notice is catastrophic for most people. Especially when you have to hope your job offers severence out of the kindness of their heart

The company reportedly told employees they can apply for other jobs within the company, though some doubt they’re qualified for other Apple roles in the city, and most don’t plan to move.

Sounds like it’s QA people. Which sucks extra hard cause that’s a much harder field to get another job in. If they were software engineers, the world would be their oysters. I bet a lot of people will make the move and it’s quite shitty and cynical from apple to move a team that doesn’t have a lot of options.

If they tried to move an engineering team to texas, they know they’d get told to get fucked

This is a really wierd statement/sentiment to me. Of course every decision is going to have detractors but when war crimes and genocide are involved, it gets bumped up a level past just “agree to disagree”

I’m dumb and confused. What is it that you normally agree with?

I dunno. I kind of expected a FAANG company to hide it slightly better

Man, this made me realize that “flash in the pan memes” used to be so much longer lived than they are now. Nowadays something mega viral has a half life on the order of days but also has much more segmented awareness/spread

Guess that wasn’t good enough

In June, the FAA announced it will require a secondary barrier between the passenger cabin and cockpit of new commercial planes that are manufactured starting in the summer of 2025.

That was at the end of the article. Not sure why but that pisses me off. Probably cause it seems purely like an act based out of fear rathe than in response to any threat/weakness

From my understanding, the most capable spy satellites are either in geostationary orbit or polar orbits.

• Geo orbit gets you constant survalance but in limited areas

• Polar orbit gets you almost anywhere but only periodic survalance while you wait for the orbit to process.

So this can be good for getting somewhere you don’t typically monitor in real time or to get quicker more real time info on a target.

Also, a big threat the government is worried about right now is the physical saftey of space assets. If someone launches a space weapon and takes out a spy satellite, I can see how the government would want a good fallback

The mortality rate for people attempting to travel this way is 77%, according to the FAA figures.

I’m surprised it’s not higher

Can we please just get the state department to a doctor for their war priapism with Iran?

Was this under a hospital?

Only saved 46%? Get back to work, you lazy AI!

Wonder if AI deciding to destroy humanity isn’t our own fault cause we all talk about how it would be. We gave it the ammo it trained on to kill us

So what’s the reasoning for why Isreal gets to impose that policy on Palestinians?
