You're reminding me of Team Fortress 2 server nightmares from last year with all the hackers and bots

I’m thankful that the career I’ve had helped me learn about the organizations that had an impact in that history and a new lens to see the world with.

Natural features and characteristics are becoming in-vogue with airport design. Cebu and Clark in the PH have a similar timber roof design, as did Bangalore Kempegowda when I flew out of it.

LA county and the adjoining counties are roughly the same size as the Kanto Plain around Tokyo. The main difference is that Tokyo rebuilt their street car lines as heavy rail instead of turning them into automobile arterials.

I've only caught wind of this through independent journalism on YouTube. The Hui people of China are also Muslim and you're not hearing about them being put into forced labor camps.

The west is creating hyperbole of fringe groups that were mostly active decades ago at this point, and using that narrative to economically subjugate them.

If a westerner sees a Uyghur work in a factory, the manufactured narrative leads to the assumption that the labor is forced, and this keeps these folks from finding good work and social mobility. This would then put these folks on the path to radicalisation due to this economic exclusion, and affect the social stability within the PRC.

Austria has highly available state housing of high quality. I don't think they qualify as a communist state, despite one of the more prominent complexes named after Karl Marx.

Based on some of the viral videos out of SF lately, I think we need Delamain from Cyberpunk 2077 more than Waymo at this point. I've been in a Waymo with other drivers trying to test its intelligence (trying to cut into the Waymo's lane with the signal on while right in the blind spot) and it's not fun.

You're making me think of malls in LA like The Grove which are simulacrum of walkable, people sized neighborhoods which aren't available in that region outside of Disneyland.

There's even a rail trolly in there.

Is the services that PlayStation Now uses publicly known? That's the only streaming service I've used so far.

There's an anime from 2007 called "Denno Coil" that focuses on AR compute with devices that look like normal glasses and integrated with everyday life. This is the piece of culture I'd compare against, and use as a barometer to compare where this type of interface can reach a critical mass.

I've had a dude with a Tagalog accent take over the speakers in my car and asked me and the folks I was inside with to leave because I decided to clown car it with friends visiting from out of state. With that said, there for sure is someone monitoring, but it's similar to how checkout at Amazon Go stores went.

I'd be curious to know how this monitoring scales over time.

Sounds like we need to subjugate these orcas to capitalist alienation

I got a feeling that this is gonna end up like Bibliotheca Alexandrina where the plans were too grandiose for what was actually accomplished

I honestly really want an updated version of a keitai like the Samsung Folder 2 but I have doubts that there's a large enough audience for those kinds of phones out there right now.

I'd be glad to see the data cap loopholes they've negotiated with overseas telcos get their contracts canceled and not renewed
