The latest Cloudflare and Amazon outages have got me thinking about utilities. We can't build modern software without dependencies. The days of running entirely on the client are over, which I see as a good thing. The cost is that we rely on infrastructure.

It also begs the question as to how less attentive drivers are when they're using even basic cruise control or traffic aware cruise. Never mind any system that does the steering as well so you're essentially a passenger with a steering wheel to rest your hands on.
Tesla "robotaxi" so safe even the safety driver can fall asleep. Maybe not.

Tesla "robotaxi" is indefensible, though their crash record is BETTER THAN WAYMO OR CRUISE had for initial service in SF.
Waymo had 9 crashes in first ~46k miles of commercial ridehail service.
GM Cruise had a multi-person injury crash first day of commercial ops, resulting in their first recall.

Taking asylum seekers jewellery is a hardy Labour trope.

Asked if that meant taking asylum seekers jewellery in committee he said, ‘that is exactly what we will do’

7 billion - 13 billion just to tidy up an old building?
MPs can’t even fix their own workplace. And they have failed to do so for more than a decade as it crumbles around them. There is no solution in sight.
Political metaphors don’t come more heavy-handed than that.

A final decision on how to repair Britain’s crumbling parliament is likely to be postponed beyond the next general election, according to four people familiar with the matter.
