I would have thought so too, but they’re working on at least one. Although you’re right about a lot of places being unfeasible–anything more than dirt/gravel in a very limited number of communities would be cost prohibitive.

Those are the exact things I’m looking for (just waiting for a few more roads to connect towns). I’m glad to hear it’s living up to the expectations I’ve heard of!
I went to Iceland a couple years ago and the landscapes are amazing, but there are definitely areas where you run into a lot of tourists, busses, etc.
I’m visiting the Faroe Islands later this year and I’m hoping to experience some rugged landscapes in relative isolation there too.
I’d definitely like to go there someday too–it’s just a bit too remote for me at the moment.
I can see its tourism becoming what Iceland was like 15-20 years ago.
I think Greenland will fit the premise of your question in a few years.
There’s not a ton of tourism infrastructure yet, but there are currently a lot of subsidies going into roads, airports, lodging, etc. to induce more tourism.

Fallout 76. Granted, I played it almost a year after release.
I found it to be a very good game overall. Not as good as New Vegas or FO3, but I thought it was better than FO4.
That’s where the “definitely just a balloon, don’t pay any attention” landed after the Chinese spy balloon was shot down about a year ago.
At least that’s the first time I heard of Dead Horse.
Here’s a really good podcast episode from 99% Invisible about this exact topic.
Alas, Babylon. Earth Abides. On The Beach. The Road. One Second After (this one is meh).
If you want some other good collapse survival books similar to Lucifer’s Hammer.
I stand corrected. There is literally no functional difference between “currency” and (at least some) crypto.
You literally just defined the attributes of a currency. The only difference is that crypto isn’t backed by a government.
Edited. See below. Apparently some crypto is government backed. There is no functional difference between traditional currency and (at least some) crypto.
“A police state keeps everyone safe”
…
“No wait, not like that”
The people most likely to be abused by police are the least likely to be able or willing to file a formal complaint.
It’s a high crime neighborhood because criminals live there. Or more precisely, because it’s a poor, gang infested neighborhood.
What you’ve said makes no sense. There are high crime neighborhoods like this all over the country independently of what Google maps does. There are also neighborhoods full of tourists that aren’t high crime areas.
Particular conditions, in this particular neighborhood, lead to these particular crimes occurring.
Did you reply to the wrong comment? I don’t think my comment is really related the points you’ve brought up.
I guess my comment was a bit vague. China is certainly currently interfering with our systems on a smaller scale. I was referring to a large scale, widespread cyber attack as described in the article.
It’s highly likely China is capable of of that sort of attack. But I don’t see how we’re more at risk of that happening now than any other military action.
Another commenter described it well as another theater of a potential war, not necessarily that a war is imminent at this point
That’s what it seems like to me. I don’t see China executing a cyber attack without being willing and able to follow up with military action. Preparation, as you said.
Tensions don’t seem high enough currently for that to be the case, but perhaps someday they will be. At that point we’d be facing an all out war.
I understand that the US is likely vulnerable to cyber attack, but is a widespread attack by China likely in the immediate future?
I mean, let’s say China does disable infrastructure, banking, etc in a coordinated and widespread attack. But then what? An attack on that scale is an act of war, and I doubt China would be willing to follow up with military action at this time.
Perhaps this is more of a preventive MAD type strategy? Essentially a warning to the US to not mess with China, or else these are the consequences.
Pretty sure you’re remembering “Life After People” from the History channel.
It’s not the exact same way, but it’s still essentially the same outcome. Your pitching machine example doesn’t make sense because AI doesn’t do anything with pinpoint control.
This objection is similar to saying photography isn’t an art form; all you do is point and press a button. In reality there is a lot more to it than that.
A Very Brady Sequel.
