In EU, in many cases you can go below zero in your checking account. So there's some buffer in case things go wrong.

True, but the FM solution could really be low latency, unlike the digital rube goldberg machine equivalent.

This was a neat set of slides. Apparently here in the US they use beads of glass sprayed onto the wet paint for reflection. It kinda works; but for the longest time I wondered why the paint here is nowhere near as reflective as the kind use

A lot of this functionality can be done by using multiple windows in Safari. Drag a tab out into its own window: boom! split browsing. (But in Safari I'm not limited to 2) I use that a lot for the same use-case as the "sub pages&q

This sounds cynical but yes, unfortunately, there are many incentives to not be rational.

Probably very similarly. If the EU Commission tried to lead an investigation of some major disaster potentially originating in the US, cooperative is not the word I'd use to describe how it would go. Sadly.

That's kinda how it was with feature phones (before smartphones).

Yes, it's a map-reduce algorithm. Muliple people check multiple areas of the system in parallel and then both evidence & rule-outs start to emerge.

However in US, units themselves are not normalized. Some things are per $/oz, others per $/lb, or $/unit, sill others within a same category go by volume ($/floz, $/qt, $/gal...). It makes comparison a pain: I

This is referred to as Waste Valorization[1] and is common in Europe with high temperature incinerators. [1] There are other forms of valorization other than heat generation; but this one is the easiest to implement at scale.
