They're gonna do it, they're actually gonna propose a new Battleship class (personal inference from SECNAV comment)
Golden Fleet would require huge budget increase for Navy, but some hints -- inclusing endorsement from OMB Vought -- suggest maybe they'll request that

Asking New Orleans locals for a recommendation on where to get lunch is a great way to get sucked into a long conversation about the city. Everyone here HAS OPINIONS about lunch, and it’s lower steaks(ha) than dinner so it’s a more casual argument.
Also if you want to make friends, embrace being a tourist. It's the same logic as people feeling warmly towards others who let them show them their fav show/movie, humans love other humans who are interested in the things they find cool

Let’s be honest if you are going to mandate backup cameras you need to mandate slow speed forward cameras for giant vehicles with no forward visibility.
The backseat monitoring and even backup camera mandates are fair game, IMO. I know parents are busy, but I do think it's questionable to force everyone to pay more for cars to keep people from forgetting and backing over their children. Sounds awful, but these are super rare issues.

That’s the same number of arrests as Chicago, and our metro population is 1/10 the size. This is going to be rough.

Magazine street driving in a nutshell.
One thing that’s so frustrating living in a city center is the pervasive belief among suburbanites that your neighborhood is nothing more than a consumer experience for them and that the city should bend over backwards to ensure they can speed as fast as possible on their way to buy treats in it.

Saying “cloud migration” is an easy way to get all of your SREs to update their resumes.
A lot of cloud providers have compatible APIs or tooling. If not, wrappers are widely available. If AWS closed down then Microsoft, Google, Oracle, Alibaba, etc could easily pick up the slack. Many companies are already using multiple providers.
