> There are more social services for people that need this than there were in the 70s

Less people aren't volunteering. Flat means stationary. On working hours, it's not significantly different either.

Indeed, in the good ol days people were worse off. But I suppose you forgot to quote that part.

There are more social services for people that need this than there were in the 70s and volunteering appears roughly flat since then.

Meanwhile, people have been getting old, having kids, two jobs, medical conditions and so on for a little while now. A tremendous amount of America isn't even in a food delivery area unless you count McDonald's.

Eating out is a luxury. Getting that food delivered even more so. This isn't about basic needs.

> Google probably will still win huge shares of the consumer market

I dunno. The consumer Gemini shit is so infuriatingly bad. I have had Google home, tv, and pixel for many many years. The assistant product is so embarrassing for how much of a headstart they had. It's not like they don't have the talent.

As much as I hate to say it, did anyone ever care beyond a few employees? Get rid of them and well..

Family member had a rav4 prime instrument cluster go black. Spent 4+ months without that vehicle while they were trying to figure that shit out. No idea if this is common, but those cars aren't exactly readily available so they were stuck with a Corolla for a long time.

It takes only a few seconds to discover dozens of unsolved engineering challenges in multiple fields. The only things that are going are the trivial ones. Ignoring that, LLMs bring a whole slate of their own challenges.

There's plenty of us who enjoy programming and still welcome AI. The act of programming isn't the product. Some products do good in the world and are difficult to fund.

Another way to look at it is they are running a business. It's not even close to gambling for example.

Why take what risk? Every make and model has issues. This car has 5/5 safety with best in class accident avoidance.

This lock issue is not regulated and many electric cars have this and/or other issues. It's not like I have great choices if I want to drive an electric sedan.

I own a 2023 model 3. The rear door releases are behind the door panel, apparently used for production, and not accessible to rear passengers. The front doors are double paned but the rears aren't. So I can only open the front doors but not bash out the window and the reverse in the back. Fun little puzzle I have to deal with if I get in a bad accident with my child.

I could just punch a hole in the door and route it, as many have done, but it has no child lock integration which could be problematic.

In Chicago the drivers and passengers just yell at you to move to the back. I've never seen a bus not get to capacity due to poor utilization. Trains, it does happen and those you can enter anywhere. There's no staff there to call out the inconsiderate.

In the US, if a neighbor's tree falls on your house, they are likely only liable if it was due to negligence. I don't see how the state could possibly be liable for a tree on public land falling on someone's fence. Why would tax payers want to foot that bill?

> What do passkeys offer users that rand strong password + password managers don't?

Wrong question.

Users don't use good passwords or even password managers. Users reuse passwords.
