Is your lack of empathy an urban thing, or would you attribute it to something else?

True, but you could also say the same in urban communities.

I have always felt Ebay dropped the ball on this with untold amounts of custom, varying quality photos with tons of metadata added by users. Presumably they are working on using this, but I haven't seen anything from them for it.

Sincerely asking - how does this solve the problem? I could generate a bunch of dog-shit and then sign it and publish it. Even with user attestation services provided by Apple, Google, et. al - couldn't I even automate generating a bunch of AI junk and signing it?

Sometimes things can be different without everything being a competition between corporations and testing brand allegiance.

FYI this list wasn’t “everyone said every one of these things.”

Also, the “only real devs touch the real world” attitude is pretty sad. Not everyone wants to write guidance systems or heart monitoring firmware.

> not sure if it is a data cable, also.

I may get accused of being an Apple fan for this, but this is why I dread USB-C. My lightening cables always charge and have data. Having to care about this is a pain.

I imagine daily maintenance won’t be much and they’ll probably hire out to contractors for significant repairs/additions

I wonder how this is affecting what you consider knowledge going forward. This strikes me as students using google to answer homework questions and forgoing the actual “learning” part.

I think I feel the same way. I think it has to do with someone like this going to jail sounds like justice, but it doesn’t really help any of the people he screwed over.

Sort of like when one of the government agencies issued a huge fine to a company that wronged users. Will I ever see a dollar of that? It’s punitive consequences, but not justice.

I agree whole-heartedly. I’ve wasted many hours in security committee meetings. But then a CVE was discovered and we were able to respond in minutes. Earned our compensation 10x over with that preparedness, even if a lot of being prepared looked like downtime.

There definitely is waste in big corporations, but not everything you don’t understand is waste.

I appreciate the source, but averages don’t really mean much in the real world.

I’ll tell my neighbors they should get an EV even though they can’t charge it at home and have commutes in areas where there aren’t super chargers yet, but on average they should be just fine, and let you know what they say, if you’d like.

So far we’re talking about refueling logistics, but a huge chunk of all the other uses of a vehicle preclude EVs as well.

No point in discussing it really I guess. My anecdotal evidence says otherwise. I’m happy you have these conveniences though; I’m looking forward to when EVs catch up to the conveniences of ICE vehicles and infrastructure.

That’s awesome! I guess you live in a house? Or at least a place that you can park your car and charge every night? And drive 30-40 miles a day?

Lots of folks don’t have those privileges.
