Germany's official name in English is "Federal Republic of Germany". (And in French the official name is "La République fédérale d'Allemagne").

Another country's official name in English is "Republic of Türkiye". Since 2022.

In both cases, that is what officials from the country expect the country to be called, when using the English language.

For instance here

I hear that yes, Azure is capacity constrained at present.

> I won't be calling Turkey Türkiye anymore than I would call China Zhōngguó.

Whyever not? It's their stated preference. And it's hardly the same kind of change as "China" vs. "Zhōngguó" or "Germany" vs. "Deutschland". It's just a slightly different spelling and pronunciation of the same word. You can change your ways.

> When the consciousness itself not understood and well defined in the first place, it is pretty pointless to debate if something is or isn't conscious.

I don't think that this actually follows. Compare: "When Angels are not well defined in the first place, it is pretty pointless to debate if a pebble is or isn't an Angel"

i.e. even if X is poorly defined, you can still often say that Y isn't plausibly X.

> Interesting this also happened in South Carolina and Ohio within the past few months.

Not that interesting, apparently this scale of meteor happens on average multiple times a year, just not usually over such an urban area.

The 2013 Chelyabinsk meteor (1) was larger and caused ground damage and injuries from e.g. flying glass from broken windows.

> Sounds like the beginning of an alien invasion movie. Sleeper ships buried themselves into every state.

Based on the last Alien invasion book that I read (2), it would rather start with air bursting the bioweapons, spreading the plagues to weaken us. Which ah, also fits this incident.

I think it's pretty interesting when something happens that rarely occurs in a populated area.

It's interesting in the personal sense that I have read multiple news articles about it, and checked to see if people heard it (they did).

It's not interesting in the scientific sense of being an outlier, unusual and noteworthy. It isn't, it's a common enough occurrence.

No joke, MS's offering for this is Q# "Q-sharp"

It seems that the person who opened this issue has a real and relevant point.

But neither the original post nor the majority of the responses are productive, mostly due to the acrimonious language used.

> Tesla has released the cybertruck that screams "electric" and is a sales disaster.

I agree that the cybertruck screams, but not that it has generic EV stylings.
