A meeting in Maputo Thursday 10 July between TotalEnergies CEO Patrick Pouyanne and President Daniel Chapo did not lead to agreement on restarting the giant gas project in Cabo Delgado. Chapo keeps saying that TotalEnergies should simply lift the force majeure declaration and resume work. Pouyanne says TotalEnergies will only start if it can convert the Afungi peninsula into a fortress, with no gates and no access by land. People and cargoes would have to arrive and leave only by air or sea; Afungi already has a large landing strip and dock. TotalEnergies is already working with Rwandan military on…

Legal experts WIRED spoke with say that the ICE monitoring and documentation apps that Apple has removed from its App Store are clear examples of protected speech under the US Constitution’s First Amendment. “These apps are publishing constitutionally protected speech. They’re publishing truthful information about matters of public interest that people obtained just by witnessing public events,” says David Greene, a civil liberties director at the Electronic Frontier Foundation.This hasn’t stopped the Trump administration from attacking the developers behind these ICE-related apps. When ICEBlock first rose to a top spot in Apple’s App Store in April, the Trump administration responded…

Stoke Space announced a massive capital raise on Wednesday that might seem, at first glance, like just another bet on the commercial launch market. The details tell a different story.

The old assumption was the winners of launch would be the companies that capture the lion’s share of commercial payloads. While there is still demand on the commercial side from private constellation developers and for emerging…

Every now and then, Hollywood comes across a hit that can’t be neatly replicated, a one-off success story that should be praised, noted and promptly left well alone. The Strangers wasn’t supposed to do all that much back in 2008, released almost two years after it was made on the cheap, pushed around the schedule like it was toxic waste.
