Airbus is NOT a european project, it is a private company, with many entities being in China or the US, while many european countries don’t contribute to it at all.

Galileo on the other hand is a Commission project, with a budget agreed upon by members, with different views on what it should be (Germany wants it business oriented, France wants it military-oriented).

Do you mean "meter" when you say rhyme? Because there's two things I can see here. First, one of the things that English poetry does is the tones and lengths of syllables are meant to be read in a certain way to create a certain rhythm, almost like creating a song (or more accurately, a rap). Then again, Japanese rap does exist so maybe not?

The second is that there are only five Japanese vowels and each one creates a single syllable nucleus, so every character rhymes with 20% of every other character, so there's no real skill, and hence, no real point in rhyming? (Whereas English has far more syllable nuclei and words can vary between one to many, many syllables, so certain words are quite hard to rhyme)
Well, I’ve been to Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal, Quebec City, Halifax and live in the GTA; it’s pretty terrible compared to the European cities I’ve visited. Better than Cambodia but Thailand and Vietnam are catching up. Comparing to Tokyo is laughable.

Well, the administrative regions we have are mostly the result of a previous invasion. And the cultural regions are based on the movement of people permitted by the previous invasions, and the requirements of the current invaders. France is a unified whole mostly as a fiction. Sometimes those fictions come apart at the seams - as in Scotland and Catalonia. Other times, an alternative administration can really smooth things out - as in contemporary China, France and Germany (deliberately subdivided to prevent the seams from ripping by building patches rather than merely stitching things together).

Britain-France would've had lots of scope. Past monarchs, local loyalties, language differences. If the administration wanted to, they could've succeeded.

Electric cars are not that much simpler than ICE cars.

The drivetrain is simpler, but most parts of the car are similar and share the same potential weaknesses.

The body may rust, the doors have hinges and seals that may leak water, the windscreen may crack or its seams may leak, the brake discs will wear out (even if more slowly due to energy regeneration feature), the brake fluid pipes may corrode and leak, the suspension system wears out with every bump on the road and the springs may break or the shock absorbers become ineffective; the steering has ball joints and tie rod ends that will become loose and need to be replaced, there are heaters and A/C which have pumps and pipes and sensors and controlling electronics, the lights have to work and they have alignment motors, the windscreen has wipers and their controls, there are mirrors and their adjustment systems...

All these parts need to work, and getting the design right requires immense competence and experience from the manufacturer. All of these are required in an electric car just like in an ICE car.

I've been frugal about cars and over the past 10 years have bought cheap ones (here it means French cars, because their quality reputation is worse than their actual quality, and therefore they are cheap to run).

None of the cars have needed replacing or major repairs in the drivetrain or fuel system (apart from one Suzuki 20 years ago that had rust in the gas tank). I've always given them up because the things that wear out are in the other mechanical parts, mostly steering, suspension and brakes. None of the cars I've had have been beyond repair, but the cost of new parts and work to make them roadworthy exceed the price of the car (I don't want to do too much of that work myself.)

yeah the "pod house" was like the tv dinner of houses, a novelty product with little intrinsic value.

others like fuller's dymaxion home were explicit about why the odd shape was chosen: structural integrity in a natural disaster, maximize ratio of livable space to raw materials, economize the physical footprint, mix/max it so you can mass produce it cheaply and house the world.

The one major drawback I find in structures like these is that I miss right angles. They help me orient myself in a space. A spheroid may provide maximal volume for its surface area, but if your residents are going to be ill at ease for any reason, they'll never choose it for their home.

If your countries ethos consists of being "the greatest in the world", then a part of that is the expectation that everything in the country must be equally as great as its sum.
Quite the coincidence as I was just contemplating writing a bit about enterprise sales.
So a few points after having been on both the buyer and seller side of the table.

People generally never understands: "This can be configured" or "This is a prototype, it will have all this functionality in x months". Investors trained in the act of spotting future possibility of very technical people MIGHT understand it. But never count on it. SHOW - don't tell, whenever possible.

Therefore always try to be as specific as possible and present a solution that is as close to the buyers pain-point as possible. Research the hell out of your potential customers and present your product in a way that solves their current problems. You can succeed in selling "future potential" but it is a lot harder, especially if the current proposition does not solve any pain-points out of the box.

If you get a chance to present your product then ask a lot of questions up front to tailor your presentation as much as possible to the audience present. Perhaps even prepare your presentation to be able to go more or less technical depending on audience. Or if the product can be used in several ways then prepare to go either way and ask at the presentation what the buyers usual way of working is and go that way.
That rule applies to pretty much any car though - having bought a completely new model of BMW when it first came out I would never do that again, mind you I would never buy a BMW again! Personally I'd wait at least a year before buying any new model of car.
There isn’t anything wrong with saying “koin o ireru” in this context in Japanese. The phrase is correct. “Koin ikko ireru” is weird, but not because of the lack of verb conjugation. The problem is that the sentence structure is grammatically incorrect and the counter is wrong in this context. It should be “koin o hitotsu ireru.”

The point would be

1) avoid being locked out of platforms by not controlling the default search. Apple and Microsoft could either extract a high toll, or crush search engines by controlling what search engines people see by default. On iOS, Apple does extract a toll to be the default, but MS was denied this, by Chrome beating out Windows Mobile and Edge/IE. If your company is wholly a web company, and someone else controls the key onramps to the web, you're potentially in trouble.

2) If the Web becomes a toxic wasteland (which was happening prior to Chrome when IE6 ruled), users flee more towards silo'ed platforms and apps. A healthy web is as beneficial to Google as a healthy forest is to a timber company.

It's like saying "The New York times is an advertising company, not a news company, so why would they invest in journalism schools if the point is to sell classified ads?"

And then there's just plain old interest in technology. Lots of projects at Google start from 20% engineers time, and grow to large successful projects, without any business model, they're just costs. You've got more than a thousand open source projects I bet being run by Google engineers, the majority of which exist because someone wanted to scratch an itch. Go, Angular, Tensorflow, Guava, et al, don't make money and aren't intended to.

I'd say AMD had better products than Intel during the NetBurst era (2000 - 2006)

Then Intel Core came out in 2006 and it was game over for AMD until Zen was introduced in 2017.

Between 2006 and 2016 AMD looked half-dead most of the time.

It feels like GCP has not done a very good job of reducing blast radius in its services. Each time there is an outage there are so many downstream Google services affected.

It's unbelievable that this is the second multi-region outage this year.
It's true! After recent events, it seems that everyone from those islands who "corrected" the rest of us for calling their country "England" needs to eat their hat. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is really just England and colonies. Calling them England is a more accurate result for everyone than calling them the Eucay.
>I find it amusing that from a climate change point of view, both their comments are basically negative:

I'd rather manage nuclear waste in a remote site for 10000 years than needing to build up a permanent desalination effort to keep mankind supplied with drinkable water.

Don't forget that there are already nuclear waste sites that are managed by the government. It's just a small operational cost for today's governments.

There doesn't seem to be a believe that governments will be around for 10000 years to keep this managed securely. But honestly, if society deteriorates to the point it can no longer organize a government, a few highly radioactive spots on earth are not going to be a huge deal.

Nuclear waste facilities also have nice economies of scale in the sense that a single site's incremental cost of storing an additional ton of nuclear waste is negligible. So unlike global warming, you're not saddling the future generations up with a massive bill.
In much of the rural US, it’s easy (ask folks which farmstand they go to). In cities, it’s also pretty easy (asian or mexican grocery for non-organic, specialty produce shop if you want organic). The problem is the suburbs. Don’t live in the suburbs. If you must, get veggies at the farmer’s market.
You seem to be assuming that the people maintaining the rules have been somewhat lazy so far. uBlock origin has the reputation of being pretty performant though, so I'd assume the engine and rules are already well optimized.

You know, I wonder if this had just been a little more modular if it could have sparked something longer lasting?

Apartments are arguably this same line. You build a lot of units to maximize the number of residencies in a parcel of land. In the process, you make the units as uniform as possible. I could imagine the entire units being manufactured off site being beneficial. (Granted, I seem to recall some modern apartment complexes being built exactly this way.)

A case where something done slightly different would have leap frogged to something modern.

Why is it shameful to ask for help when you are doing something for the first time? Why such strong emotional reaction to that leading to berating from someone who is not even affected?

Algorithms are a branch of math - it is about proofs and structures and big O. It is about figuring out how to achieve right big O. Especially in their beginning, it was not necessary to know C in order study or teach them. Nowdays, typically they are not taught in C either.

I think tha market segment essentially fills a leading edge or marginal case for expansion. Ie they’re most likely to make sense where the cost of land matches their cost of manufacture. Overtime the surrounding area may get developed and this increase in value - incentivizing further improvements to the land the original manufactured homes sit upon.
In Seattle, the late fees have been eliminated. But they'll still charge you replacement cost for a lost/ruined book.

Can you cite that because my understanding is it takes less space to have live stock as you don’t need to do crop rotation. Organic is the worst as the yields are low you need to plant more to attempt to come close to the same yields as a GM crop.
I really don't believe Tesla gets any worse parts than other manufacturers. Those parts come from the same production line. They are the same parts. Almost all of the automotive industry uses the same parts, chosen from a fairly limited variety of models, produced in great numbers.

The design of a car has a great impact on how long those parts last. It's easy to blame a parts supplier for faults that are because of your own design.

Let's take an example. The water that rains down on your windshield is cleared away by windscreen wipers. If the wiper motor or mechanism doesn't work, the car is not roadworthy.

Were does the water go from the windscreen? It flushes down along the edge into the scuttle between windscreen and bonnet (hood), and then usually goes down scuttle drains, to be released underneath the car. What happens if your scuttle drains are designed so that tree leaves that always fall on the windscreen in some places get stuck and block the scuttle drains? The water is not drained. Instead, the water level raises in the scuttle. The water may flush inside your car if the seams are not tight. Or the level just raises above the bearings of your windscreen wipers, you have a little pool in front of the windscreen.

So you have water in your wiper mechanism bearings. This water will freeze in the winter. It will push out and flush away any grease in the bearings. There will be corrosion. Eventually, your windscreen wiper won't move because the bearing is stuck.

Now, do you blame the wiper mechanism and bearing manufacturer (like Musk appears to do) or do you blame the design that floods the standard parts that everyone is using?

The former is of course tempting, but in the end, it's your responsibility to design and manufacture the car so that it keeps running for long enough.
