Not get shot at would be nice.

Fordlandia failed but that was the idea: work, live, and spend your money there.

We're talking about Sony. They've made Madame Web possible so any disaster is possible..

School shootings were these "warriors" sit back and wait for things to settle by themselves.

Yep, download perfect quality FLACs from Bandcamp and self-host them.

I only saw a YouTuber make fun of their "Christopher Columbus did nothing wrong video" (not the actual title).

Their argumentation is terribly weak.

The company is known for making quirky hardware, usually niche musical instruments with creatively chosen knobs, switches, cute UIs and such.

They figured they could ride the AI hype wave based on their expensive niche audience but it's blowing up in their face.

Life ruining risk better pay life changing money.

But you are probably right, they would look for the vulnerable and exploit them. And I mean spies but it applies to capitalism as well.

With allies like these, who needs enemies?

The more you think about it, the better/worse it gets.

They couldn't fly from Japan to Hawaii even using the more reasonable route. They were brought nearer using aircraft carriers.

The Doolittle Raid launched longer-range bombers from US carriers to hit Japan and they were lightened up to the max (dumped their guns and anything else non-essential) and planned from the get-go to ditch over China because flying back would be impossible.

Being able to fly a bomber halfway across the World was beyond WW2 tech.

Good on you guys, corpofascist bullshit shouldn't be tolerated.

As for Disney and DeSantis fighting it out over each other's bullshit and the special district, "let them fight" comes to mind.

The joke is on them, piracy was motivated by the extreme convenience of streaming to make it as convenient as ever.

A meter is defined as a thing but the distance traveled by light in 1/299792458 of a second may not be the most evocative reference for the common person.

People are quoting sci-fi examples but they have been tried (and many failed) in the past. They are cities built, owned and operated by a corporation like Ford with Fordlandia in Brazil. Rent? Shops? All company-run.

Technically Disney has their own special district in Florida and have a lot of Government-like powers over it.

Yes it's complicated and all a question of point of view calling someone a spy, partisan, terrorist, freedom fighter.

But in the end it's spycraft involving locals vs. some powerful oppressive State. Often involving another sympathic State supporting the partisans using straight-up spies.

For the WW2 spy thing, I guess it's because I'm very fond of WW2 spy movies based on real events. There are quite a few European movies portraying events and operations done by their local partisans during WW2 and I feel Andor takes some inspiration in those.

The bubble is bursting.

Competition caught up with Tesla's lead while Elon was too busy with his many side projects while somehow also micro-managing the company to death (e.g. Cybertruck).

He should have focused on scaling up manufacturing and driving the price per car down. But no, he had to chase the self-driving pipedream, launch a ridiculous pickup truck, and wreck the "genius" person he had built to replace with an alt-right one.

Yeah but the longer term doesn't looks good.

Fingerprint ID does not work with hashes, you need images. I've worked with NGOs and integrated biometric identification systems.

I haven't had to pull the iris data out but I'm certain they where also stored as bitmap images. In any case, the iris scanners most certainly sent images to us and not hashes. Why send an image if all you need is a hash?

In any case nobody outside can tell what some crypto scam is doing with those scans and I sure wouldn't trust them.

Rogue One was meh except for the visuals. The train heist has the most beautiful explosion VFX in s very long time.

Story wise it was meh but it paved the way for Andor which better committed to the WW2 action/spy thriller angle without the Star Wars prequel bagage dragging it down. Yes it's a prequel itself but it won't need to connect to space wizards which tend to bog down a lot of the Star Wars offshoots.
