Yeah, Ukrainians should just bend over for Putin because someone might make some money if they resist.
There were no video games when the first French Revolution happened. He can always hope to be luckier than Louis XVI and get to keep his head attached.
If there had been video games the famous saying would be "Let them play video games!"
And it's
The classics never go out of style.
Where's the evidence they were threatened with something if they didn't follow requests?
An AWOL whistleblower has it.
So, without further details and instructions, the order could be viewed as changing nothing.
But that doesn't make good headlines.
Yeah, this policy seems to be out of Google's authority. Just because their search engine can find it, doesn't mean that they have any kind of rights to it.
It had nothing to do with software engineering. The official report said it was because they reused a smart part from an earlier rocket without reviewing its software operating specs. Turns out that the part detected acceleration that was "impossible" - according to its specs - and started dumping debug data on its output bus, exactly like it was designed to do.
The software performed perfectly.
It's to defend us from all those alien spaceships buzzing around everywhere.
Or maybe to prevent anyone from being hurt during all their crashes.
There are simply too many accounts throughout history of people encountering inexplicable things (and documenting them) going back thousands of years, with accounts which are similar across time, for UFOs to be mass hallucinations.
Well, we've had multiple religions across thousands of years that utterly contradict each other's claims, and yet have or had millions of followers. Does your argument mean that they are all true?
If millions of people believe in ghosts, does that make them real?
What we need for "supernatural" or "paranormal" phenomena is something more substantial than "someone claimed" or "someone thought they saw". Otherwise they can be dismissed as parasitic memes that latch onto quirks of the human brain's operations, such as our fears, our ignorance, and our almost irresistable need to members of an in-group, or to have access to arcane knowledge that "those fools" don't know or believe.
workers with high security clearances
It' funny that they try to buff these and other claims by invoking high security clearances. Whyever would anyone suppose that people with high security clearances wouldn't make stuff up? I would guess that the percentage of bullshitters, attention whores, and wannabe book sellers among people with HSCs is about the same as the percentage of bullshitters, attention whores, and wannabe book sellers among the general population.
and there are people out there who swallow this lack of anything hook, line, sinker
If and only if it's something they want to believe.
The summary pretty much answers the question in the title. The journalists were rushing to get the story out because it was leaking out through the internet, and (reading between the lines) it was still half-baked.
And always will be. It's hard to finish baking a story that consists of nothing but handwavy accusations.
As a Democrat we must stick together and oppose everything the Republicans put forward. It's the Democrat way.
