While I agree that it is a "interrupt based productivity killing machine", most managers can't figure that out. I get a regular email that might take some time, then a manager showing up to as "did you see my email. Cool." With no further discussion.
The problem with state-sponsored media is that for every BBC there are a dozen Russia Todays.
And I don't even know if BBC is unbiased when it comes to British politics. As an American, the BBC's famed neutrality seems based on its view of the USA.
Facebook is big enough that it could easily survive balkanization. They have the money to start up branches in every country with enough money to be worthwhile in serving.
Which means that Facebook will be the only international social media possible, as nobody else has enough money to start one from scratch.
Either way, that much money for Facebook is literally nothing. They probably have dozens of people on staff doing absolutely nothing or doing bullshit "project management" jobs.
Amazon local delivery contractors don't even go that far. They just fling the package at my door or set it by the garage door in full view of the street. Fuck Amazon delivery.
Moving 1,000 comets seems not too far off from our capabilities today
Uhh, yeah, no. We can reach comets, but not affect them enough to move them. And definitely not 1,000 of them.
Also, we would need to slow down their orbital velocities enough so they are not hitting the moon with Chicxulub-like speed; unless we want to run the risk of several extinction-level events a year.
The only reason its not colonized is there is no money to be made down there. Once there is a viable resource or industry on Mars, you can damn well bet we will colonize it.
However, it remains to be seen if that will be possible or cheaper than asteroid mining. Either way, both of them are a long way off.

The 737 predates modern turbofan engines. The old turbojets were narrower and longer, which fit under the 737's wings.

They don't even look like the same aircraft, which is how Boeing can slip continuous changes to the 737 line in.

And they manage to do it in a less creepy way by not tracking the players in realtime.
Or at least not making the tracking data available to other players.
I think we prefer having adolescent humor.
I no longer care about people that fall for these scams. If you failed to learn from the last few years, you now deserve to lose your money.
Yes. You are correct, sir.
Do they also own Vice? I assume all the V-named radical left channels are the same.
Just a blunder, not one of the classic blunders.
Haha, you think the disconnect applies to the government and party officials.

That is quite possibly the stupidest idea I have ever heard. How would a site relocate? How would you tell someone "hey visit site x"?
Except we can't learn from it or move on anymore. Anything you say at any point in the past can be brought up in an attempt to ruin your life now.

Also the meta-meta pun of keeping lamp "light".
Police Officer to Dr Werner Heisenberg: "Sir, do you know how fast you were going?"
Dr. Heisenberg: "No, but I know exactly where I am!"
you can send Matt Damon anywhere and he'll somehow survive
Or, we will spend tons of resources trying to find and/or kill him.

Every time I hear the term "Spaceforce" I think of "Salesforce", which fills me with loathing.

I think that proves that even with GPS, modern navies can't navigate.
This was the metadata debate from back when they didn't have the processing power to voice analyze every call.
"Oh its just who you called and when, no worries!"
Yeah, dude, big worries. A map of relations between every single person. If anyone in your web commits a crime, now you are a suspect.
Actually they are experimenting on us.
When you gotta name your product line "this works", I am, for some reason, immediately suspicious.
