Reviewing code ain't what it used to be, what will it become?
Those look like sprung structures's tents. They can get real fancy: https://www.sprung.com/
I hope Canada cancels our contract to buy these from USA. I don't care the cost, it's not worth it.
Rail will always be more efficient since you don't have to carry the load. I think places that never built passenger rail (Alberta has been toying with Edmonton to Calgary since they've existed) this will wipe out the need for them.
Huh? Sudden events are a very real part of larger processes like evolution and climate change. A volcano eruption, a meteor impact, or a drought year, or the ceasing of a current can absolutely have massive implications on larger systems.
I think you've jumped to regulation, when culturally many parents may be unprepared / unaware and the discussion needs to start with awareness
But maybe this is how a super smart AI works (or at least a prototype of one)

That's a little picky, maybe it's HATEOAS + a little extra presentation sauce (the hottest HATEOAS extension!)

I believe space is actually a protected industry, and your run of the mill h1b isn't good enough, you need citizenship too - see the ITAR reqs on SpaceX job openings: https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/spacex/jobs/8101417002

Fun! A css animation would make the updates less jarring and the feed easier to read

I think when you spin up open AI in azure, that instance is yours, so I don't believe that would be subject to this order.
Love my Honda fit - had to replace the transmission at 160k km (in-warranty!) only thing I wish is it had AWD and just a little more clearance for the snow
What intelligent options are you offering for Canada then? The US is going to tariffs us. They have stated that their aim is economic warfare focusing on collapsing our economy so that they may annex us.

Gig economy still requires a middle class for the demand side of the equation. So either the AI has employs humans in make-work projects, or we invent a meta economy that sits on top.
I just assumed that the drive shaft between the motor and their uni wheel system would have a universal joint in it that would solve both of these issues, would it not? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_joint
