Could Meta buy TikTok?
Back in March of 2024, I speculated that Meta could buy TikTok with minimal outcry from the general public and without the US government threatening to leverage anti-trust against them.
In such a scenario, a smaller company would buy the Tiktok “brand” and front end. Meta would then have exclusive rights to provide the cloud infrastructure.
On paper, it would look like the smaller company owns ... https://micro.fromjason.xyz/2025/01/18/could-meta-buy-tiktok-back.html

It's sad.
My students know how to put their laptops / tablets in "Dark Mode", and can use generative AI to write their papers for them, but they are incapable of saving a file to their device in a specific location (such as a folder). They also can't use Microsoft Word or Word for Mac, because they do all word processing in Google Docs (which is completely unsafe, unsecure, and insane, IMO).

There is a certain governmental document from the CIA making the rounds, circa 1944. I'm certain that if more attention is drawn to it, it'll be removed from the website, so I can only suggest everyone save a copy.

A giant Soviet telescope looks like a remnant of an older and more advanced civilization.
Its history matches this impression. The Kalyazin RT-64 radio telescope was developed to support communications with robotic missions to Venus and Mars and to prepare for possible manned expeditions to these planets.
The telescope is located near the city of Kalyazin, and still in operation today. Its scientific tasks include deep space communications and astrophysical research.
