Negotiation is essentially an exercise in empathy, trying to put yourself in the other side’s shoes, moderating a negotiation is essentially the same thing twice. Is it any wonder that an egocentric person who only cares about himself is not good at it?
Apparently they were spared a world expo on top of all the other misery.
Russia is essentially a small state with a couple of centuries of imperialist thinking.
I would go one step further and remove all of the imperialist thinking in Russia, just to be on the safe side.
I wonder if it is like character creation in an RPG, 5 minutes to elect a new pope and then the rest of the time is time they need to think of a name.
Supervised Full Self-Driving seems like a euphemism for driving with a driving instructor. You fully drive yourself but someone supervises you while you do it.
Not just Americans, the British political class has similar issues.
Then you probably won’t like the thought that an even smaller percentage of people who think they need to get ever richer and control ever more aspects of ever more people’s lives are basically ruining our offline world.
The main issue is that testing if someone knows and has the skills to do a job well (or at all) is a hard problem, whether you outsource that to people who write a piece of paper or try to do it in-house in the employing company. Hell, half the companies do not know if the employees they have had for years are any good at their job.
Originally there also wasn’t any name-based virtual hosting, especially in SSL/TLS-based services like HTTPS so you needed one IP per name if you wanted to host multiple websites.
And part of the disappearance of www. now is probably that strange decision by Chrome to hide it.
Originally the idea was that you would have a domain and then have a host under that domain for each service (e.g. mail.example.net, ftp.example.net, www.example.net,…). Of course eventually the web was used by a lot more people this directly than any other service so the main domain was also configured to point at the web server and then people added a redirect either in one direction (add www.) or the other (remove www.) on the first request.
Most of those places would work just fine with a combination of trains for long distance and bicycles/walking for local travel too.
In fact when you think about the way organizations like RIAA and MPAA like to calculate damages based on lost potential sales they pull out of thin air training an AI that might make up entire songs that compete with their existing set of songs should be even worse. (not that I want to encourage more of that kind of bullshit potential sales argument)
