No, but they often add up to a stable Nash equilibrium.

In the past you could have made an argument about foreign airlines not being held to FAA standards.

But today, FAA knows exactly which jurisdictions regulate airlines to a comparable standard and which don’t. Denying cabotage and other higher rights to those airlines is 100%, as you say, naked protectionism.

In other words, regulations that increase the costs of building housing increase the costs of housing.

Funny how that works.

There are some services (cloudfront for example) which require this region. Its not that much harder to have multiple regions in your deployment but putting everything in one is simpler for smaller startupy orgs.

It’s not required during an incident. The data for these services is globally replicated. It’s only if you need to make changes that you might be impacted if you’re already successfully operating out of another region.

Love content like this. Looking forward to @maxthemeatguy videos of dry aging steaks by leaving them outside a space station for some period of time..

Governments are good at pure science, research, and individual technologies. They are not good at making products. That is fundamentally where private companies have a massive advantage.

Trains really tend to struggle over open water. Very difficult for them to stay afloat.

I believe it has a max demonstrated wave height of 5'.

No wireless. Less space than a nomad. Lame.

I believe that max demonstrated wave height will have more to do with the height of the hydrofoil than the wingspan / ground effect distance.

Having said that, I'm pretty sure the much larger Monarch (their further future 50-100pax model) will probably have longer vertical supports on the foils.
