The VW eUp! has a similar naming consistency issue. Is it an electric VW Up? VW eUP!? VW e•Up!? VW e-Up!? Who knows...

I've just had to ditch Edge on Win11 in favour of Firefox because of persistent "app is not responding" issues.

Don't know what's going on under the hood but I've wasted enough time trying to root cause it (easily 20+ hours over 3+ months) with zero improvement.

There are players in the OpenStreetMap ecosystem attempting to change that. I know the team behind Organic Maps are actively working to make their app as viable as possible by sourcing appropriate data for example.

That works when the system is setup to allow that.

I've encountered banks that don't have that setup — hilariously one bank felt the need to cold call me about my complaint about cold calling from unverifiable numbers. When I asked how I could call them on a verifiable number, they claimed I couldn't. :/

This seems like a positive step. It never made sense (to me at least) for CBS Paramount to own it.

Huge opportunity to allow folk to own their own (meta)data. /fingerscrossed

In software development, an artifact is a deployable file produced during the build process, such as a .jar, .zip, .exe, or Docker image.

In the publishing world, an artifact is something that is a product of processing code. e.g. the OP wants their code to generate files in various formats.

No. But my AI agent will happily burn electrons finding some... Maybe...

Google created a radio talkshow based on this post during the Google I/O 2026 Developer Keynote.

No by(e)-laws in Spain? Certainly a thing in the UK, Ireland and I believe US and Canada. Is that a common law thing?

200 people can't board at the same second. Reality is you want orderly boarding over the course of ~ 10-15mins depending on passenger makeup. Crew also need to account for passenger with additional needs, catering recharge, etc

The equivalent for Europe is probably https://www.public.nm.eurocontrol.int/PUBPORTAL/gateway/spec... (at least what I use when there is major disruption).

Iran has indicated they will only target ships tied to countries that are involved in the conflict.

That likely means US and Israel. Unclear if countries like the UK that are facilitating the US through use of their bases would be considered legitimate targets (likely yes).

There was a major storm that disrupted infrastructure across the west coast of Ireland last year. Turned out a lot of infrastructure couldn't survive multi-day grid power loss (water plants, cell tower repeaters, etc).

Starlink is a solid backup for mitigating the risk of such disruption by having no local dependencies other than ability to power the CPE.

Nice job dodging the awkwardness of whether to include Ireland, Northern Ireland, etc (IE and NI operate as a single, all-island wholesale electricity market). :)
