...is it always the countries that have no ID cards, so it will inevitably fail?

No, but you can prepare your suicide before it's too late.

NOBODY write HTML code by hand these days, 1991 was a long time ago.

This fascination of grownups for children's movies is beyond me.

They asked for his password, they got one.
They should have specified which one.

Enhancer for Youtube and BlockTube extension do it for me on Firefox.

Albeit I don't want to have to buy replacement processors on EBay if the car is 20 years old, like NASA had to do.

Always has been.

I'd have liked to see robots selling and buying stock on the stock market floor, if it still existed.

I doubt it.

When companies throw around terms like "cities and towns" for drone logistics, they are usually talking about sprawling suburban developments with neat, wide-open lawns, not dense urban cores.

Even with this big rollout targeting nearly 500 communities, the operational reality dictates where these things can actually land:

The Footprint Illusion:

Amazon isn't building 500 new drone stations; they are counting every municipality touched by a regional network.

A single facility covers a massive swath of territory (roughly 175 square miles), which inevitably zeroes in on the suburbs and outer rings of places like Atlanta, Chicago, and Dallas rather than downtown high-rises.

The Landing Zone Problem: For a drone to safely drop a package (even a modest 5-pound shoebox-sized item), it needs a clear, unobstructed patch of ground free of overhead power lines, tight balconies, narrow alleyways, and inquisitive pets.

Try finding a reliable 2-meter drop zone in a dense neighborhood.
Not to mention it being a porch-pirate's wet dream.

I KNEW it!

The actual 'X' needs 4 serifs that are missing.:-)

I had the exact same thought. Maybe they're called "cell phones" in the US because they live in some sort of jail?

...for the sarcasm.

And I must say, I'm not disappointed.
