Isn’t that lousy with video ads now?
Isn’t that lousy with video ads now?
Is this the case of Byron becoming fashionable, hippies being gentrifuged out by rising prices and replaced by Liberal voters who wanted their slice of heaven to be more conservative and family-friendly?

Alternative title in Germany: “Guardian doxes antifa activist”
If he does end up in The Hague, the IDF raid to free him will turn out to have been conducted with extensive UK assistance.
If they don’t say definitively that they’re not, then they’ve at least left the option open to do so when the profit motive demands it.

From what I understand, it’s slow because along much of the route it uses legacy rights of way with level crossings. Brightline West will have all new grade-separated right of way, which will allow higher speeds.
Is it the case that the US fundamentally can’t do what, say, Spain and South Korea and Algeria have been able to, and that they have been able to do with, say, NASA, the military and numerous private corporate logistics systems, or just that they haven’t done it yet?
Once the US has one working world-class HSR line (probably Brightline West, or possibly CAHSR), the appetite for more lines will increase. HSR will have become something that is common for Americans to ride when not on holiday to Japan or Italian hilltop towns, and reflexively dismissing it as “it wouldn’t work here because we have too much (space/liberty/big cars)” won’t work anymore. New plans will be proposed (a midwest network connecting Chicago to Cleveland and St. Louis?) and old ones (such as the Texas one) dusted off. And the Canadians will notice and jump on the bandwagon (given that a big chunk of their population would be reached by a line from Detroit/Windsor to Quebec City makes it a no-brainer).
As Jamie Zawinski put it, it’s like a non-profit animal shelter setting up a sideline selling kitten meat to satisfy demands for hockey-stick growth. If somebody castigates them for it, they can point out that the demand for kitten deli slices didn’t going to go away, and if they didn’t sell them, someone else would step in and do it less humanely.
Either he is the great English Everyman and the UK’s population backs Russia, or he isn’t, and hard Brexit is not the Will Of The People. Though given both major parties ruling out any softening, and the BBC platforming him enthusiastically whilst having a ban on coverage of, say, the Green Party who actually have MPs, the powers that be are leaning hard on the former. Something will have to give.

For those who like a bit of fascism with their emulation.
Or it’s deliberate trolling
Only one kitten?
And if an app like Signal bypasses blocks, having it installed could become a crime.
John Gruber (yes, the Apple loyalist) pointed out that the Japanese law specifically exempts game consoles, and suggested the US retaliating by passing a law requiring third-party app stores on the PlayStation and Switch. Which probably won’t happen, but would be entertaining if it did.
They could call it the Dendy 360 or something
Cosmic Combo, an iOS port of Johan Peitz’ PICO-8 game Cosmic Collapse, is good.
