One of the lessons we've had as the Federal, multi-branch nature of the US governmennt has frustrated Trump is that the government may be fucking us over, but it's not doing it in *unison*. It's doing it piecemiel, on the initiative of many interests working against each other, just as the framers intended. The motto on the Great Seal notwithstanding, there are myriad roadblocks to consolidating power in the hands of a single individual. It takes time and repeated failures. This is why the second Trump Adminsitration is worse than the first; they've figured out ways around things like Congressional power of the purse, put more of their henchmen in the judiciary, and normalized Congress lying down and letting the president walk all over them. It's a serious situation, although fortunately Trump isn't long for this world.

I didn't say they don't need calibration.

I said they don't need calibration all the time.

Failure to connect to the cloud should not result in immediate device failure. Manual calibration steps should be possible. Or at least a message "cloud service unavailable, device will stop working in 48h" or similar.

I don't understand why people are willing to bootlick the company in this case. Cloud connected everything is cancer.

Before anybody points this out, a gallon of bleach (the common size) is currently well over their weight limit. OTOH, that doesn't mean we shouldn't be thinking ahead to the possibility of hackers ordering risky combinations of materials that might ignite or release hazardous fumes if jostled. I don't know if Wing's drones drop cargo like other services I've seen either. The videos I've seen have drogue parachutes but things still come down a bit fast. Anyway, it's not a realistic concern *for now*, apparently; but hopefully it's being considered.

I'd like to send an order of bleach, ammonia and thumb tacks to 1000 of my closest friends, via drone.

I mean, the data is easily googleable.

Me: Prison is not the answer to everything.
You: It is because (insert specific scenario).

Let me introduce you to the word "everything" and what it means.

This whole article is about how to STOP people from driving while drunk. I'm not hand wringing, I just don't think that prison is the only solution here.

Because prison is not the answer to everything for fuck's sake.

Sure, in this case we can say "fuck you" to drunk drivers and the don't deserve sympathy, but this everything must be cloud connected trend is going to fuck us all eventually.

The problem is that the above sentence requires a person to be able to hold two thoughts in their head at the same time, which appears to be above almost everyone commenting in this thread.

Drinking and driving is not cool.

Making a device that could and should operate locally rely on a cloud service is also not cool. Breathalyzers have been around for decades, and do not need calibration all the time.

Sure, in this case we can say "fuck you" to drunk drivers, but this everything must be cloud connected trend is going to fuck us all eventually.

Let me translate:

"... it often depends heavily on external crates, which can introduce complexity and auditing challenges, especially in enterprise environments."

"If you write code in rust, you may link to a library in your code. I think this is somehow unique to rust, but I have no experience in software development. That makes rust more challenging in Enterprise environments."

The difference is that everything is statically linked in Rust. This isn't a problem if you rebuild the universe and release every day anyway, fix the library and everything will pick it up.

But it's an issue for Canonical (and Debian) because they don't rebuild every one of the tens if not hundreds of thousands of packages for each update of the Release file. And this would have to include older releases too that are still supported.

With many languages, if you rebuild the .so then that's all that is needed. Sure end users need to restart processes to be sure of picking up the fix but that's all. Debian tries quite hard to avoid library bundling where possible but rust sort of makes it implicit anyway.

The downside of the shared library model is that any and every incompatible library change requires a soname bump. ABI stability is critical to the .so model.

You''ve added the word 'more' here and that wasn't in the original statement. The original statement is 100% correct. It would also be correct for Java, Javascript , C#...but it's still correctly used here.

That other things are also bad is no reason to not try to look at and change your own situation.

That's some optimism you have, asking people to think before posting.

But there is about:
- constantly lying about economic indicators to international organizations
- manipulating currency exchange rates
- endorsing/subsidizing massive ip theft
- disregarding environmental regulations
- deep disregard for worker health and safety
- complete disregard for product safely ... I'd keep going but it's pointless because you're probably a Chinese funded bot anyway.

....I'm curious how they'd tell the difference?

WILL they follow their natural 'fuck Trump and everything he does' combined with the power of their innate 'EV advocacy' stance?

Or, will the herd find themselves unable to rationalize away ceaselessly toxic Chinese behavior, industrially, economically, commercially and find themselves ... if not supporting, then not directly able to attack Trump on this one?

Or will someone manage to simply do BOTH and to hell with intellectual consistency?

Awkward bedfellows are almost certain to follow! Stay tuned with bated breath!

(if /. posting code was from the 21st century, I'd toss in the animated meme of Michael Jackson in a theater eating popcorn eagerly awaiting the show!)
