This is a weird take. Historically Japan has overinvested in rural infrastructure, because the ruling LDP's support base is rural, rural votes carry disproportionate weight, and when there's nothing going on economically construct

GCVE (managed VMware) is a pretty obscure service, it's only used by the kind of multi billion dollar companies that want to lift and shift their legacy VMware fleets into the cloud as is.

There's "Bells Line of Road" in Sydney, which goes to a town called Bell. Why it's a "Line of Road" instead of just a "Road" or a "Line" remains a mystery. https://en.wikipedia.o

As a military rank, "general" is already a noun and you say "army generals", so why not "attorney generals"?

I'm genuinely not sure what you're trying to say here. Are you claiming that this was somehow engineered by Altman on purpose to draw attention, because all publicity is good publicity? Or engineered by his enemies to throw mud

Wikivoyage is underrated and that was not helped by the acrimonious split with Wikitravel (which was acquired a predatory marketing company), but it finally seems to be pulling ahead.

It's probably worse than building them. When building a ship, we have a pretty good idea of how brand new materials for construction behave and have an exact plan for putting them together. Shipbreaking, on the other hand, involves ch

I'm not a fan of Elon's branding either, but if you've ever actually driven a Tesla, it's very obvious very quickly that "FSD" is not fully autonomous driving, and Tesla itself festoons "Beta" all ove

Autosteer (lane following) will disengage if it can't see lane markings. I'm genuinely surprised FSD was active in these weather conditions (and as other posters have suggested, it may not be FSD at all).

Tesla uses only cameras for FSD, not lidar, so it can't tell what's a solid object and what's not. Driving in foggy conditions where everything is fuzzy to the camera isn't helping. I'm surprised FSD stayed engaged,

The only food in the world I'm allergic to is cempedak, a close relative of jackfruit. If I eat a ripe one, I get puffy red duck lips like a Kardashian for a while.

I'm not entirely sure I buy this argument. There are vast swathes of the world today where drinking tap water will likely make you sick, and in all these countries it is standard procedure to boil tap water before drinking it. In fac

It's not a huge problem: it's the same salt that was in the sea, just more concentrated. Dilute it well enough and it's a literal drop in the ocean. The article also mentions that inefficient thermal desal produces much more
