It makes sense for all of Eastern Europe to be the same level.

Nice, thanks for this extra background! My first thought was scramjet too, but it would be nice of them to mention how it takes off and lands.

The original rendering looks awesome, in a bonkers sci-fi kind of way.

Based on the renderings (as there are no actual photos of this thing, other than the blurry-ass pic of what appears to be a rocket taking off vertically) it’s nowhere near the size of a 747. It actually looks rather like an elongated SR-71, which makes me very skeptical that it can actually hit Mach 6.5 because ramjet engines have a hard limit due to something called “physics”. That fact, plus the rocket-like takeoff, are why I think this is more like the X-15 and can’t sustain its top speed for long.

Uhh OK, they’ve matched something the X-15 was doing 65 years ago. What’s the endgame here? Build a ludicrously inefficient passenger aircraft?

The leaked data targeted primarily Ashkenazi Jews.

$30M for 6.4M people - so minus legal fees they can expect about two dollars each? I thought these damages were supposed to be punitive?

Sure, 20% of 1.4B is 280 million, more than almost any country’s total population.

It’s “leading” with only ~20% market share, though.

Very good article, but it would have benefited from a few historical references, because none of this is new. The insularity and navel-gazing of royal and imperial courts, for example, are legendary — with their own customs, shibboleths, and of course everyone within believing they have the answers, despite being totally dsconnected form the “real world”.

I get that, but Twitter isn’t based in Brazil at all. What happens if, say, China declares that certain posts are “misinformation”? Should those be taken down without complaint?

Earlier this year, Moraes ordered X to block certain accounts, as he investigates so-called “digital militias” that have been accused of spreading fake news and hate messages

I hate to defend that cesspool of a site, but I don’t think it’s appropriate for social media websites to ban accounts at the whim of foreign governments. Reasonable people should just choose to stop using Twitter altogether and leave it to the Nazis so that it can finally go the way of Gab et al.

What year did you start playing, though? Back in 2005 the game was a revelation. The mundane gameplay you describe was pretty much how all games worked at the time.

they really made a gold standard game

They really did. I still remember the first time I logged in — pure magic. I’ve never felt that way about a game since.

I can’t believe there are still 500 people working on it after all these years. The vast majority of people I know who played (myself included) quit after Cataclysm or thereabouts.

I’m guessing this is a futureproofing thing, so we aren’t caught with pants nearly down like with ipv4.

Finally some good “AI” news. Those things aren’t going away, so I’m happy to see any improvements to their energy efficiency.

I haven’t seen much sealioning on Lemmy. People here tend to be pretty upfront with their (strongly-held) opinions.
