In the last committee hearing they said that Kaspersky was just suited to different threats that they were interested in.

The senators kinda tried to get the intelligence community people to say that Kaspersky was somehow being controlled by the Russian government and one of them pointed out that Kaspersky has countered Russian hacks in the past. He even made the point that Kaspersky seems more independent than some american companies because american companies don't counter American government hacks etc...

In the previous hearing it was definitely "It solves a different problem"

Honestly the reason the prison of the grid is so difficult to escape for me is because the zoning tiles need to be perfectly square. If the zoning was changed so that tiles could grow to fill the spaces too small to fit whole tiles into then bendies would be much more attractive to me.

It doesn't need to do anything to actual gameplay if that would be difficult, just the cosmetics would make me waaaay more inclined to make bendy roads.

Ideally the building models would stretch to match the tiles and make something like the Flatiron Building possible. If stretching models isn't possible then even if it didn't actually do anything at all except draw the tiles as if they filled in the gaps it would still make me way happier.

About how bright is the Cherenkov radiation that the detectors are looking for?

Are the detectors dispersed throughout the ice because I would have thought the light would get diffused and absorbed by the ice very quickly?

The particles only travel faster than light does in ice. Light moves more slowly through substances like glass or ice so usually when people say "faster than light" it's assumed they mean light in a vaccuum.

This definitely got me too when I first read it though haha.
