There is always somebody ready to respond. Of course they can't take full control, that would be stupid dangerous, but they can still control the car. They even have people who go to your car to get it unstuck manually when needed.

There is someone to take over as soon as the car encounters something it cannot handle. It's not self driving. By definition it's not driverless, there is always a driver assigned who will take care of it if needed. One of the reason they cannot scale beyond small areas.

Search for "driver monitoring system". As soon as there is something unexpected there is an actual driver taking care of it. Also the reason why it's not level 5, but stuck at level 4 self driving.

> driverless taxis went from "it'll never happen" to "is this the default now?"

That's still far away, these are not driverless cars, there is always a driver monitoring, but they monitor not one but many cars, ready to take over.

I think it's working as intended. It incentivises buying a good quality plastics or cloth bag and reuse.

> Do you think that if Ukraine was not being courted by US that it would've been invaded like that ?

Invaded? Probably not. Becoming a second Belarus? Yes. Overall it would have meant a Russia - NATO border closer to me. I prefer an Ukrainian - Russian NATO border far, far more.

> US led NATO expansion lead to the war in Ukraine, and Europeans are paying the price.

As an Eastern European, I cannot thank the US enough for pushing NATO. It makes me feel safe. I'm just sad that they could not get Ukraine into NATO before all this madness started.

> As far as I understand it they want to preserve "open sourceness" for self hosted projects - ie. if you run redis in your docker/vm/k8s, you're fine. But if mega corp clouds are offering managed service, they need to give back a cut from premium they're charging end users.

I like it and I think this is how open source should work to thrive.

Do they? Even I have problem nowadays with this, because they write 60W but it's a LED and it acts like a 60W bulb but it's not 60W. 60W is more like branding.

I don't see why that would contradict my statement. Yes learning is good, but it becomes harder as we age.

It's basically true for every profession. We even have a word for it, we call it wise. They built up an experience that they rely on during decision making and produce good results. Changing that is hard.

They are older and learn slower, they also learned a lot of biases over the years. They are often unwilling to accept major changes to workflow.

That's understandable. There is still a social stigma attached to it. Hopefully it will change over time.

Pretty sure tomatoes attract more pests. Also people grow these in the forest on small sunny patches and they do just fine. It's literally a "weed", it grows like crazy. But yes, it won't be premium quality, just some average weed.

> I would be extremely hesitant to grow cannabis on our balcony.

Why is that? Just buy a small body, auto flowering seed, some fresh soil and water it every couple days and wait. You won't have a gigantic harvest but that's basically all you have to do and you will have more weed than you know what to do with. When grown, cut it, hang it upside down and wait until it's dry.
