Just use trains and bicycles. We've had the answer for 100 years. I live where driving is a requirement. Self driving cars will not handle rural roads for a LONG time. And I really don't want something the size of a Cybertruck hu

Thats what we used to have in Australia, and now it just rains. It's killing my morale atm.

You're right about apple. Focusing on execution rather than bleeding edge innovation has certainly been a winning strategy.

Honestly, if Taiwan wants to fight then just watch the start of 'Saving private Ryan' for a good idea of what establishing a beach head look likes. China needs to do about a millions things very competently and quickly to take Tai

The real politics of the situation for Taiwan is that if a fight breaks out, the US will happily send them weapons but they need to do the fighting. The US will be happy to supply guns, but is naturally diversifying chip making to de-risk t

I'm pretty certain that is just the panel out of an old thick plasma tv. that lens would be a piece of poly-carbonate. Cheap as chips.

It's always a willpower issue. If the US needed a fighter bomber range it could find the land etc etc. Whilst the US has a lot of people. its also really big. It's got space to solve this problem.

Unpopular opinion. We 'Australia' should try and use some of the big holes we've dug in remote places to store landfill enmasss. If plastic is burried it's not doing much more than it was when it was oil. In parallel, we

Carpentry is the better analogy for programming. There's a spectrum for the work software engineers do. neurosurgery and concert violin are pretty tight on what the end goal is and you don't usually do a decent job from day one w

That is an excellent way of characterizing COD. I play the campaigns pretty much because it's like participating in an action movie and you just kinda get to go along with the ride of it. It's not too tough or defeating (looking a

I liked The Division 2 for it's pretty close version of DC for this same reason. Obviously sans societal collapse etc.

Well I did vote and I did read all 55 pitches from the candidates. They only recently made the voting compulsory so that's going to make things interesting for all the people out there who don't do any reading and want to avoid th

Rank choice and optional preferential voting have their own special tyranny. I just voted for a council election where I had to order at least 5 alderman out of 55 listed candidates. No parties, no voting guides. It was a lot of reading for

Yep, she was so reprehensible the queen died! And then off that great distraction she did the job that baldy she almost tanked the world economy. Now falling on her sword and claiming the shortest tenure in British history. I would feel ver

I hope this new boss is called "Decision Matrix" with the motto "Harsh and unrelenting". That'll capture the linear algebra roots and the sterile nature of the thinking. Whilst middle managment is often rightly pann

Write down a realistic but achievable set of tasks/subtasks at the start of the day. Start them, when it's time for lunch, take 1.5 hours and do something totally not work. A nap, a run, a swim something active and restorative. T

Outsourcing existed before covid, it's swings and roundabouts. Most orgs are trapped in a way by their IT dept. Could they really pull off a total outsourcing gig without a business ending walkout / strike action or just dirty tri

Yes, but I think America will walk back it's current hawkish defense posture around going head to head with china over Taiwan over the next 10 years. If they get into a fight, I expect the US to supply arms and money but not soldiers o

Yes but all of that is a good idea to implement on a new project starting today with lots of money and a big competent team. Migrations are hard when you have to fight with the project management triangle and then realize that the migratio

It's also setting up the conditions for the US and the West to leave Taiwan to fight it's own fight like Ukraine.

That guy is bankrupt and homeless now. His medallion was worthless because of uber and the large loan he took to get it ruined his life. etc etc.

The most sensible thing to do with blockchain is to track produce from when it's picked to when it's sold for QC. Every other use suggested, like voting, is just stupid trouble.

What the actual F. That is just insane. Brexit has been such a rolling disaster. It's constantly reminds me why compulsory voting in Australia is the best thing since sliced bread. It's just insane what the British have decided to
