It's super dumb. I assume it was really hard to get the whole world on board with the WTO to begin with, and trying to get them to join a WTO-except-USA wouldn't be any easier, especially with the USA trying to shoot it down.

A bunch of those countries will have signed national laws and international treaties deferring to the WTO which can't just be updated without renegotiating. And changing the WTO itself would require simultaneous unanimous agreement from all countries besides the USA, and they'll all try to get their pork barrel in.

Put a computer under your desk then use it to host your git repos.

Of course cloudflare wants you to bring more data and money to cloudflare. Is any of this actually useful though? Do agents need git? Are agents even useful?

I saw a city sandbox (no simulation, just a kind of zen garden) on a voronoi grid but I forgot what it was called. No AI, and you could build in random shapes.

I am fine with games showing an abstraction of the real world instead of simulating every detail. I am also fine with other games simulating every detail.
