It's even more awesome when you need the power plugged into the external display module for that to work, but the laptop won't turn on unless the power is directly plugged into the laptop.
You couldn't even use magsafe on your lap in bad, the cord would keep coming out. Of course I have the same problem now with USB-C.. Apple just doesn't care about people using a laptop anywhere other than at a desk.
Yeah I don't really care about the full tank every morning bit if I can't go and rescue someone who hit a ditch full of snow on the highway. EVs represent a sacrifice to our way of life and our freedom because we will have to call a company to help us.
Other than the cost, how were cars not better than horses in every way from their very inception? You're saying some day bluetooth will be as good as a cable? It's just going to take some advances in bluetooth unlike anything we have seen before?
But what processing can we realistically fit on a car? Can google's data center even process 1000 images a second from a million cars all with completely random pictures of traffic? For each car there will be a significant delay through wireless transfer. Therefore the logic needs to be on board, on the car.
People cannot lose their ability to access remote areas. If there is no EV charger there, then there must be a comparable vehicle that will do the job. Therefore the ICE market cannot change significantly until all these issues are resolved.
I really don't know how you got that. Almost everyone needs their vehicle for a long trip from time to time. Especially the vehicle they pay +$5K for. The second vehicle for $5-$10K can run around the city where it is ok to break down.
That makes it a worse issue. If citizens in sparsely populated areas get left behind then that is a national issue. Exactly why farmers rioted in France.
So when they stop making ICEs, the people who cannot use an EV should just keep their gas engines going together? Will we have a nationally supported gas vehicle so we can still drive around?
My point is that EVs should work for everyone and should be better.
I've been down this road before. Self driving proponents will just make up sensors that can see around and through cars and bushes and walls and buses. THey can see under cars and over cars. They work in fog and rain and snow and ice. They'll ask you to trust them that these sensors will be in all vehicles and will work by the time self driving is commercial as a condition of having a conversation.
No, they don't work for MOST use cases. As in "a person buys a car for a lot of money and may go on a long trip once in awhile". I really don't see how we can talk about them seriously when all the people who can by them do, it really won't make a dent on the environment at all. Gas will still be king, it will still have to remain the same price it is today. Likely as crude gets more expensive, governments will shift 30% road taxes from gas to electricity to keep the prices on-par.
Listen, I want to buy an EV badly. The industry needs to hurry up and make something that reasonably replaces an ICE.
I've always been able to use relational databases with an ORM layer to accomplish my goals. Am I missing anything by not using this or is this just hipster 'its too hard to learn more' kind of stuff?
All these companies have to do is know what they are doing. That's it. Why is that too hard to ask?
On the other hand, why would any cloud provider not have several fail safes for a customer to go through in order to open a DB directly to the internet?
And we have been through the whole Norway thing. Norway is actually quite warm with short mountain passes through I have yet to have confirmation that people are actually taking EVs through mountain passes. Also EVs are falsely made cheaper because the government raises taxes on ICEs.
EVs don't work. I grew up probably more north than you, with people that hunt with bows, and go ice fishing in the middle of nowhere. We grew up with it so hammered into our heads to always have enough fuel because getting stuck could be deadly. There just won't be power close enough.

And when you destroy your laptop and Apple tells you your dongles weren't "Apple approved"?
It's even more awesome when you need the power plugged into the external display module for that to work, but the laptop won't turn on unless the power is directly plugged into the laptop.
External graphics, mouse, keyboard, test device. 4 dongles.
Why would I buy USB-C when exactly one device in my house has USB-C with the others all having normal USB? Then I need a dongle for everything else!
I've tripped over Thinkpad cords a few times. Laptop/port/cord were built sturdy enough to keep going without having to release.
You couldn't even use magsafe on your lap in bad, the cord would keep coming out. Of course I have the same problem now with USB-C.. Apple just doesn't care about people using a laptop anywhere other than at a desk.
Isn't Keynote just Powerpoint?

Thanks, this is the best way I have seen it said.

Well I guess when they're at 80% market adoption I can come back and you can call me wrong. We have a long time to wait.
This is a *true* national security issue.

What about all people being equal under the law? Your point is irrelevant because the constitution is being broken.

They can't even make a car look right with the correct sensors on it and they still have to put the datacenter on somehow.
