" If a restaurant has a good reputation people are willing to wait."
For restaurants with an excellent reputation I am willing to wait, but not for my table but a couple of weeks for a reservation to get my table immediately when I arrive.
"Restaurant-queuing seems to be a cultural phenomenon associated mostly with America. It's not unusual to see a mile-long queue for a restaurant in America but in other parts of the world if there's a few waiting by the door people deem it to be busy and quickly move on to the next place."
Exactly my thoughts. I would never wait at a restaurant, I eat in restaurant 4-5 times a week an I always have a reservation and I always get my table immediately. Either there are not enough restaurants in the US or the management is incompetent or they are just greedy and they accept way too many reservations, just like the US airlines.
You obviously haven't spent much time in bayou country;)
Bayou In usage in the United States, a bayou is a body of water typically found in a flat, low-lying area, and can be either an extremely slow-moving stream or river, or a marshy lake or wetland.
Next Spring I'm going to till about an acre at least and plant crops for my wife and I to eat. Add a couple of chickens and beehives, plant some fruit trees.
"yeah, well, unless it is like a Samsung "smart" tv were they constantly break things with the updates."
Exactly! I have one too, but I just use it as a monitor to watch m pirated stuff, so I don't need constant updates to the 'smart' gizmos that I don't use anyway.

'He would have been far better off spending the time and energy to study'
Study? Why? The idiot got the questions in advance and still was too dumb to get the right answers. If he had opened the book and take a few notes, he wouldn't have needed to up his grades.

"Hyperloop will have all the problems you cite for trains, except here in Europe, we have had trains you can drive cars onto since about 1965."
In Luxembourg they just finished a big intermodal project where you can drive large trucks onto trains and transport them throughout Europe, where they can drive the last mile to their destination, in order to reduce road congestion. They also have trains going to China and back which will improve quite soon, since China is investing billions to improve the speed.

Huh? You seem not to understand near vacuum. A hole or a dent will just get to get fixed, just like when a stone, a cow or a tree is on a railway line, with the difference, that a failed vacuum will instantly and automatically reduce the speed of the 'train' and prevent any 'accident' of "running into the bullet-hole" or whatever you think will happen.

The Champignon drive is so stupid, I can't watch it.
On a laptop?
Where changing the GPU is mostly impossible?
What does he want to play?
Enemy territory?
Dammit!
Ruined my pun.
Wanted to say: So they will fly 'ueber' (German for above) the other Uber vehicles.
1% owns all the Wikipedia content while another 1% owns all the money, by not paying taxes.
Who does more for humanity?

" I want to sincerely apologize to each and every one of our users,"
Both of them.
I have 2 eyes, I'll sue them as well.
"And for the record: I agree that this plan is utterly insane."
I disagree. If that was the case, the article obviously would have the whatcouldpossiblygowrong flag.

" It calls for the human population to be warehoused in gigantic megacities and the rural areas to be depopulated. "
It's a swamp, not a 'rural area'.
You don't have to install in in the bedroom.
I plan to put one on my garden shed or a special big amazon packages box.
"This may come as a shock stupid people like you but not all friends live near you."
The guy who had his locker beside yours 20 years ago ain't your 'friend'.

For my secrets and crimes, I use encryption.
It means that the navigation UI was overlaid by the Solitaire UI,
