they're cutting 200 jobs while forcing RTO because commercial real estate matters more than worker autonomy or the actual work getting done. which. honestly.. Classic tech leadership—prioritize sunk costs over people who make the product.

Game companies should be owned by their workers. They should be structured as worker owned micro democracies so this is never necessary again.

You can't prove received wisdom wrong if you don't try... and you've got to give China credit for not being afraid to try. A step on the way to serious reduction of shipping emissions by 2050? Or an expensive experiment with niche coastal uses? Time will tell!

According to multiple NYT sources, it wasn’t even military personnel at Fort Bliss that fired an anti-drone laser at alleged cartel drones. It was CBP who used the weapon on loan from DoD against a child’s party balloon they mistook for a drone. The Pentagon gave CBP an anti-aircraft weapon.

When a video game boss glitches out the first time you fight it, that colours your perspective no matter how many times you do it "correctly". I fought a final boss where I hit it once and it shot straight up into the air and just never came down, and as far as I'm concerned that's the canon ending.
