Do you have any idea how much the power demand would be if you truly had a parking lot full of chargers? Tesla wants a 60 amp breaker to feed their fast charger. That's the size of the entire electrical service in old houses. Newer houses have only 2x-4x that size for the whole house. Restaurants have bigger power feeds than homes because they need the power. They don't have enough slack to feed a parking lot full of super chargers.
Say you want to provide power for 20 parking spots. You're talking a 1200 amp service. The main circuit breaker for that would run around $6000. Additional service breakers, wiring & conduit, tearing up the lot to install it, cost of all the chargers.... You'd hit a quarter million easy for the materials, never mind labor to install it.
If my cell phone was recording everything around me and transmitting it, my pocket would be on fire, my battery would be dead before lunch every day, and my bandwidth allowance would be toast by the end of the first week every month. At home, there's essentially infinite power, no bandwidth limitation, and I can hardly tell the difference between a small hockey puck that's idling & one that's active just by looking at it or touching it. Tolerances for cooling aren't nearly as tight as a phone.
The limitations of a mobile platform provide a degree of safety, or at least verifiability. The laws of physics are on your side in this case.
Jake Surfer here... Not sure I can speak 100% for my brother Joe, but if I have to think, "Gee... I wonder if I'm just gonna get scammed out of half a penny with a bunch of clickbate if I follow this link," you can bet I'd be following a whole lot fewer links. Also, why am I giving someone an interest free loan so they can hold onto my money and deduct some of it for every piece of clickbate I get fed?
The problem is less lack of payment mechanism and more lack of quality / necessity. There are no shortage of places that provide reliable, relevant news. The supposed "journalistic integrity" that I might be willing to pay for gets eroded a little bit more every time ${majorNewsSite}.com parrots the prevailing party line without even a scrap of effort to contradict obvious lies and policy 180's.
There will be a lot more digital blood to bathe in before anything of value is lost.

You have far more faith in 60-70% of the population than I do.
Some older Macs I've had did this. Is was mostly a problem if you used a smaller MagSafe brick than was included with the machine. MagSafe came in 45, 60, and 85 watt versions. You could plug any of them into any machine, and it would work. The difference was like plugging a modern phone into an old 500mA USB port versus a 2.4A quick charge.
My partner & I had 13" and 15" MBP's at one point. My 15" came with an 85 watt brick and her 13" with the 60 watt. Running my 15" on her brick made the brick get hotter than normal and would result in just *barely* maintaining the charge (not actually increasing) if I was doing heavy CPU/GPU stuff.
The only people who think they're idiots for blabbing are the hackers and governments (what's the difference again? I keep forgetting.) who have been exploiting these bugs/back doors to their own gain. Just because you're just hearing about the bugs doesn't mean they haven't been known and used by others for years.
Apps aren't using the data for authentication. The phone still handles auth the same as TouchID. Apps are using face data to make the dog ears and tongue smile and frown along with your face in your selfie app. And possibly other purposes....
OpenZFS and Oracle ZFS have diverged a bit. The on-disk pool contains a version number which identifies with certainty whether you can import it on a given implementation, so there's at least no chance of mistaken mis-importing & data loss from that. They're interoperable for pools that aren't upgraded past the highest pool version supported in the final CDDL release of Oracle ZFS. Beyond that, they won't work.
Oracle ZFS has since added file-level encryption. The encryption and the on-disk structure aren't readable by OpenZFS. OpenZFS has incremented the pool version number by a large jump (5000) past the last Oracle ZFS version and has fixed & enhanced some things in such a way that the on-disk isn't compatible with Oracle ZFS. For info about OpenZFS version & feature flags, see http://open-zfs.org/wiki/Featu...
I don't think it would take a tremendous amount of effort to merge the functionality one way or the other if the licensing issues were solved, but they're definitely not on-disk compatible if you're running the latest pool version supported by either release.
If Oracle licensed ZFS as GPL in addition to the current CDDL, (nearly) everyone could use it. CDDL is incompatible with GPL (intentionally so), but CDDL is NOT incompatible with BSD or most other non-GPL open licenses.
The BSD's used Sun's own ZFS code for years before OpenZFS was founded. I ran my NAS on FreeBSD with it for about three years until ZoL stabilized enough that I jumped back to Gentoo. CDDL isn't copyleft, so the BSD's can use it without any problem. If they stripped the CDDL option and released as GPL-only, that would screw the BSD's.
Alternatively, they could release it under a BSD style license, and everybody could use it under one license, but I'm probably dreaming...
Do any existing RAID systems allow you to do that in one step?
You could do in in Linux w/ ZoL by using md to stripe or concatenate the two smaller devices & feed the md block device to ZFS. It should work, but I could see ZFS making some ungood decisions based on hiding the underlying hardware from it. Dunno about performance either.
For those people, there's the switch in Settings that won't turn itself back on. It's in the same place it's always been and does the some thing it's always done. This new switch that looks different in a new place does something different.
You've always pushed a bright red switch on the right side of the panel to do a thing. One day there's a brand new orange switch on the left side, but the same bright red switch is still in the same place. Perhaps there's a chance the orange switch might do something different than the red one?
For every time I've come home after a day in flaky WiFi land and forgot to turn WiFi back on until I've sucked down a bunch of LTE data, this is an improvement.
I don't, but if someone stands up something with the same SSID as something I've connected to in the past, it'll connect to it. Same for basically every WiFi enabled device ever created. It's especially bad with the access points AT&T and the various cable companies provide. I want to connect to those to save cellular data when I can, but they're often overloaded or misconfigured which knocks me offline. The "take a rest wifi" interface option has come in handy numerous times. It's a documentation bug at worst.
There isn't much of a market though. Most people (biggest market) don't care. Somebody managed to get a "THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!!!" cry out on this one which was enough to motivate some of the drones, but that's the exception.

Out of fear that the price will fall below the basis they bought in at and won't rise again, IE crash.
But do they have machine learning????
