Exactly, your car will outlast your phone. Which is why you want all of that software on the phone instead of the car- so it continues to be updates in software and hardware, can easily be replaced with something better, and is an open platform that allows you to choose your software providers. Hell, worst case you can mount the phone on your dash and use it. Anything in car you're stuck with permanently. Not to mention who knows how long it will be around- my car is 20 years old. There is 0 chance any car company will support it that long- if anything they'd consider bricking it after 5 years a benefit as it could force you to get a new car.

The problem with that is the I- Intelligence. The right doesn't have any of that.

Umm, even without computers you can print. Which is what most people do when they write. I've read plenty of hand written notes, blackborad/whiteboard messages, etc in my life. Nobody has ever used cursive to write them. Even adults who took cursive, like me, usually don't remember how to do more than write their name. And the time savings cursive was supposed to give you, when actually studied, ended up being a myth. Not to mention print is more readable, you can almost never read anyone else's cursive.

So yeah, even without machines we'd get along just fine without cursive. It literally has no value except reading historical documents.

Because it feels a bit pointless. Hey, for your birthday I'm handing you $50. Hey, for my birthday you handed me $50. Why the fuck did we bother? By doing a gift card, there's minimum veneer that we thought about what the other might like.

Do you think the average person knows what a wallet is? Or has the technical ability to use one? Or has the technical knowledge to secure and back it up effectively, and the computer on which it resides? Especially given that a major crypto developer just proved he couldn't as he lost over 3 million USD to a compromised PC? Banks exist for a reason- to safeguard and protect money. The same reasons you don't hide your dollars in your mattress are the reasons why people would use an exchange.

That's not true at all. The fracture threshold of a human skull is 14-70 joules (source: https://www.walshmedicalmedia....). A 2 kg (5 pound) package would have energy of .5*m*v^2. It will reach that threshold at 3-8 m/s. Which if being accelerated by gravity at 9.8m/s^2, it will reach pretty quickly. And of course its worse if you get hit by a corner, concentrating the area of impact. So yes, its totally possible for a 5 pound weight dropped from 1-2 stories up to fracture your skull. And a fracture isn't the only possible injury- laceration and concussion can happen at much lower thresholds.

Bitcoin has fees on every transaction. And no government isn't a good thing. The ability to roll back transactions in the case of fraud, theft, etc at a minimum is a good thing. As for a lot faster- it can take hours for a Bitcoin transaction to settle. How long it takes depends on how much you pay in fees. Cash, credit cards, etc are far faster. Bitcoin loses on all those fronts, as do all other cryptocurrencies.

Nobody argues for the fucking purity of a headphone jack. We like headphone jacks because we prefer wired and because it's a second connector. And mildly because we already have headphones, but if they got rid of them and replaced them with a second USB connector we'd all be ok with that. It's about not liking wireless (easy to misplace, need to be charged, not liking in ear buds, easy to lose when they fall out out your ear) but not wanting the sole port on the phone to be dedicated to it.

Charging infrastructure is the problem. People who buy that kind of car tend to live in an apartment or have roommates (or both). They mostly don't have a dedicated place to park and charge their cars. That makes them unusable. Especially with a 150 mile range, they may need to be charged every night.

I have a way to push reminders at just the right time. It's my calendar app. Why would I want an AI to guess when I can set the alert in like 3-4 clicks?

Does it have a calculator? No app is complete until it contains a calculator. I wish I was kidding- when I was writing soft keyboards once I was asked if I could make it print the result to the screen if you typed an equation and hit =.

This law wouldn't have helped her. I advertise a job with a range of 50-60K. There's nothing preventing me from finally offering someone more than that, just less. Nor should there be anything preventing me from offering more- if I'm in actual negotiations for a great fit with another offer, I should be able to reassess what I'm willing to pay.

So they offer her let's even say the max- 60K. The next guy who comes in can still negotiate for more- even much more. You still need to learn to negotiate.

(Rule #1 of negotiation- anyone who says an offer is non negotiable is lying. I've lost track of how many non negotiable offers I've negotiated).

People are also misinterpreting who this is meant for. This isn't meant to help programmers making 200K in salary and another 100K+ in stock. At that level there's too many variables and perks to do an easy comparison, and truthfully they need less help negotiating. It's meant to help the people making $15 or $20 an hour, to know whether a job is worth their time applying to and prevent bait and switches. So comparing jobs making 3 that isn't exactly germane.

I'd love to see wireless completely eliminated. In a world where we have an energy crisis and are not on 100% renewables, wasting energy by broadcasting it instead of plugging in a charger is inexcusable.
