But that also assumes the US military is unified to follow orders into an illegal war, and that may not be the case.
It’s depressing that it’s almost come to that small hope, that our military isn’t as stupid as those giving the orders to them.
Even during the recent occupation of Ukraine and the threat upon neighboring countries that are in NATO there was discussion about what-ifs, and how much gray area there is in such events. The core idea of NATO was about deterrence, much like the MAD of nuclear weapon buildup. If someone crosses that line, something has to happen otherwise the whole agreement is called out as meaningless. Article 5 leaves what actions need to happen open ended though, so assistance can be something as simple as persuading the attacker to leave via strong words. Which will absolutely be the first thing tried, as no one wants to escalate to the next level. Well, except the idiots who are attacking.
I agree, having flown in and out of there a number of times, plus a layover once. I actually enjoy the tram rides out to the terminal areas.
You’re going to get tired of winning tariffs.
Humans are terrible. The human eyes and brain are good at detecting certain things though that allow a reaction where computer vision, especially only using one method of detection, fails often. There are times when an automated system will prevent a problem before a human could even see it. So far neither is the clear winner, human driving just has a legacy that automation has to beat by a great length and not just be good enough.
On the topic of human drivers, I think most on the road drive reactively and not based on prediction and anticipation. Given the speed and possible detection methods, a well designed automated system should be excelling at this. It costs more and it more complex to design such a thing, so we’re getting the bare bones of the best minimum tech can give us right now, which again is not a replacement for all cases.
Wow, that must be a very secure password to be so long. :P
Weird. Just like passwords, all I saw for your ssn is asterisks. Must be a Fediverse security feature.
Sure, but OP is talking about fingers as representation, not markings. Your point is exactly why they did it in writing.
IV and IX don’t make sense when it could be done more intuitively by IIII and VIIII.
The idea of apartments centered around a grocery plaza has been a thing for a while. It’s almost an answer, except it still requires transportation to everything else. Plus the stores tend to be higher prices to support the cost of property and because they can.

The real market if this does hit actual shelves is whoever creates adapters for existing products.
