If you work on a project of any size, you're never going to be able to avoid working with programmers who are worse than you.

Compounded by the fact that people can write a lot like AI if they want to (consciously or unconsciously).

No, you're wrong. You're also a moron.

Why are you a moron? Because you took your opinion of something and assumed that everyone else has the same opinion. It's also a mistake a four year old might make. By the time you reach age eight, you realize other people have different opinions.

It's not that they were more tangible it's that you couldn't buy your way out of them. When the nukes hit they were going to hit for everybody and they were going to fuck up everything. If you are pretty well off financially you can continue to ignore the effects of climate change pretty much forever. As things get worse you're going to have to be even more well off but everyone convinces themselves they're going to be rich someday.

Would have hurt Reagan and Gorbachev and the rest of the Epstein class.

The climate apocalypse doesn't hurt them at all. They will still be temperate zones with fresh water for them and they will have private armies staffed with drones to protect them from the rabble.

Adam Smith's capitalism required the capitalists to be living in the same community and society as the working class. So that the working class could beat the living shit out of them if they got out of hand. This was part of Smith's writings. He did not expect to see a world where they could live half a world away from the shit they owned and have automated killbots murder anyone who inconvenience to them. Karl Marx saw that coming, the globalism and international oppression anyway not to killbots, but he had no fucking idea what to do about it and if you actually read his solutions they boil down to "I don't know kill the fuckers"

That sounds great but every time it's been tried the violence gets out of hand and you horseshoe back to fascism after putting psychopaths that are good at violence in charge.

I honestly don't see a path forward. People are too big of it too stupid too greedy and there are too many social problems we aren't willing to address for too many stupid reasons.

Pretty sure the EU got manufacturers to stop including wall warts with phones, instead insisting that every manufacturer standardize their power connectors.

As best as I can tell, the so-called "instrument panel" is a secondary, and redundant display of selected info from the car's main (included in the base price) display.

  What fantastical unique information is the driver deprived of if they choose not to order the $255 instrument panel? Nothing.

This is very much in-line with previous cars that offered optional heads-up displays on the windshield (like in a fighter jet).

I doubt Charlie actually ever said that, but if he did, he got three of the four right - Michelle married into her position of prominence, and had a successful career before her husband went to the Whitehouse.

Joy Reid is still searching for the homophobic hacker that posted all that hateful stuff on her blog, and hasn't been able to put together a coherent thought on current events in years.

Sheila Jackson Lee literally asked if the Mars Rover could navigate to where the Apollo astronauts landed on the moon.

Keysnji Brown can't identify what a woman is, and has repeatedly been rebuked by her peers. She was LITERALLY picked by Biden after he publicly declared he'd only pick a black woman for SCOTUS... that is literally the definition of a DEI Pick.

Except that's a small tip of the iceberg. The companies we would most gladly vilify as those who have done the most damage are precisely the ones who don't do the emissions themselves, but rather sell products to others who proceed to do the emitting.

Every Hyundai with an ICE has a stick shift option. If you're lamenting not having a stick shift on an EV or a hybrid then I am also sympathetic to your view, the same way someone is sympathetic in general to people with mental handicaps.

That sounds like great information that every car makes available to the driver on the ... wait for it ... instrument cluster.

Voluntarily or not? I didn't know Telsa offered it as an optional extra? I thought they just made one shitty design choice and forced it on whomever wanted the entire model.

This is putting important information in clear sight vs making the drive divert their attention from the road. Comparing it to heated seats is asinine.

A tacho is not remotely important to the operation of a motor vehicle unless you're racing or off roading. How many cars do you know who don't have a spedometer on the instrument cluster?

Some choices shouldn't be available. Ever. Kind of like how we don't give people the choice of not having ABS or airbags.

Teslas exist in the UK. It's legal. Fucking stupid, but so far legal.

They are actually not mandatory in most countries to exist above the steering wheel, for one many Teslas don't have them. The information just needs to exist some where. You are spot on with what they mean though. Yes they are removing the thing that's easy to glance at and are pulling a Tesla forcing the driver to look over at the massive infotainment system

Fucking stupid.

I'm old enough to remember when delusional disorder was added to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders edition IV. It describes a recurring false believe, especially when it has been debunked over and over again such as the so called "adjustment to create warming trends"

Congrats my friend, you officially have a mental illness.
