I was thinking of bananas and banana flavoring too. It may have been a better example than strawberries, but most people don't know how much variety bananas have because they've been so commoditized. It's too good of an example because the effect is complete.

Tiny peninsula; Six datacenters

The geology of the area seems to make for good cooling and DR sturdiness. One DC is even 500 meters under rock.

15 years ago... They had just released a remake in 2008 for the Xbox, so the IP was certainly fresh in their minds.

Did they eventually drop the threat or did something else happen?

There are dedicated turnkey vendors these days, so there's no need to get elaborate. All you need is a U of rack or two and enough cash.

It feels to me like everyone is holding their breath to see how the wholesale "AI can replace people" notion pans out. Whether it proves true or not, betting on the wrong result will hit hard so few want to go all in (outside of the companies that produce the tech itself). If there's anything "AI" has been able to ship at scale, it's uncertainty.

Could be just plain alphabetical. There's a selector for which color name list to use/examine on the bottom of the visualization. There's also a selector for which color space model to use.
