I like the sound of that.
I don't bother to put too much faith in individual movement leaders, but I do appreciate ones who seem to have foresight and a commitment to some purpose beyond their own career. She seems like she's doing good work.
I totally agree.
Frankly, Mozilla should be embarrassed to have released this statement.
It's basically 'Please don't harm our competitor for corruptly bribing rivals! We like those bribes very much!'
I don't love it. Like.... Yikes.
But it's not my country so whatchgonnado, you know?
What else do you need??
I would second this. I've definitely spent a lot of time with this question.
For my setting, I try to lean into realism. So the first thing we have to ask is what "hacking" means in these situations. Hacking shouldn't be magic.
First, hacking typically looks like using a system in the way it was intended by someone who wasn't intended to use it or in some other modified way. So to break into a CCTV system, ask how proper users would use it, and then how to bypass that.
Second, the more advanced technology gets, the more advanced security gets. Think about what it would take to hack into a CCTV system today. You'd likely need to steal a password to use the actual software or snoop the raw data signal of a camera and then decode it. In the future, this isn't going to be less secure.
So if you wanted to hack into CCTV camera, players should not be able to roll and then see anything anywhere. They should need to find some physical connection and/or find some way to obtain credentials to a remote access system. This could be by forging biometrics of someone with access, tricking someone with access to logging in for them, or finding leaked access credentials online. And all of these should have limitations: how long they can be logged in; what they can do without triggering detection; how long it takes to call files; etc.
These same principles apply to a social media search. It wouldn't really make sense for everyone's data to be readily available to anyone with basic hacking proficiency in some kind of easy database. Assume online privacy moves forward at the same pace or greater than privacy invasion. You can't just type "HACK!" and see someone's real-world location. You could probably find a publicly listed address or maybe find a license plate reading with a time and place. But you're going to have to still do a lot of the conventional investigation work to find someone: figure out where they work, hang out, shop, etc. and look for a point where they slipped up, either in biospace or online.
First, I agree with all of the above: within existing lore it seems obvious that the transporter wouldn't be able to transport the one ring for several reasons having to do with magic.
But also, this is just a reminder that I think the transporters in Star Trek are so narratively uninteresting. I like Trek, but pretty much in spite of the tech writing. The degree of magic in their technology just does nothing for me. I wish we had more fiction that was like a cross between Star Trek and The Expanse.
Carbon tariffs is an interesting idea. It would be a fascinating but positive silver lining.
Big oof
Am I crazy for assuming that they're in "go for broke" mode, and everyone else assumes this too?
Yeah, that was my thought.
I think it's clear that Biden and the west is banking on collapsing the country economically, which I totally understand as a reasonable idea. But I think that it fails to account for the incredibly unpredictable and negative consequences of collapsing a state. And that's before considering that it's a nuclear state.

If the right story is there, I can see it.
I don't think it would work to try and shoehorn her into the next Avengers movie, but if a script calls for her, I think she'll be great in that kind of context.
