that would have been good; too bad Google didn't bring it up at the time.

And another protection that is failing you. Stuff like this is critical to keep capitalism functioning and it's all being torn down.

It's become painfully obvious that the billionaires don't like capitalism and don't intend to keep it around.

That would be the time to start asking what that means for you personally.

irrelevant to what I said; Canada is under the crown

even then, over 10 years ago, FB was selling your personal information and got in trouble for doing so. They've done it again and again. that's why I ditched it and all other usual social media.

It never was good.

Try getting a subreddit plus a Discord channel.

Was so basic and limited that a few posts from me about how Trump fucks kids and me repeating several times in those posts did Trump fucks kids would get this crappy little llm bot to repeat it.

It makes me wonder if we couldn't do another santorum if we put a little bit of effort into it.

Like if everybody just went on to their socials and just started posting the unmitigated fact that Trump fucks kids and reminded people over and over and over and over again how Trump does in fact fuck kids if mnd be we could get the bots to start repeating the basic truth that Trump fucks kids.

Imagine if Trump would be known not as the former president but as the former Kid fucker.

It's only 100% accurate.

EV are polluting too though; it takes 3.5 years for one to work off the carbon debt and NO company is profitably recycling the batteries.

We'd be better off using biotech to have algae ooze octane and similar length hydrocarbons. ICE works well.

memeboy.

Current U.S. military actions in the Middle East have nothing to do with oil; zero. Or you think we're getting oil from Syria, Lebanon, Gaza, Iran?

I'm claiming a place should rightfully give UK English the finger. Canada should do the same to the King, who currently is their head and commander-in-chief of Canada's armed forces. In fact, the world would be better with some French style slicing and dicing of Royal neck.

"and picks your charging stops", I should have added. On long trips it optimizes to minimize charging time, which typically translates to 2-3 hours of driving, then a 20-minute stop, then 2-3 hours of driving, repeat. The charging stops tend to align pretty well with bio-break needs.

It's really not.

In practice what you do is you use the car's navigation system, and it tells you if you need to charge to get to your destination. About the only manual planning I do on road trips is to think about where we'll be for meals and override the automatic charger selection to pick chargers in those places, and check the icons on the charge station to make sure there's food nearby. This is a minor annoyance, far more than offset by the fact that when I'm not on a road trip I never have to go to gas stations at all, and pay no attention at all to my "fuel" level.

The best numbers I've been able to find put that number at about 25% of car owners. That is a large number of people, but it's not a good reason to hold up the EV transition. Such people will transition last, and only after public charging options are sufficient that they don't need charging at home (and after apartment complexes deploy charging infrastructure so more apartment-dwellers can charge at home).

Also, we need to help people understand all you really need for home charging is a standard 120V outlet from which you can safely run an extension cord to your car. L1 charging will add ~40 miles of range every night, so unless you drive more than ~280 miles per week (14,600 miles per year), L1 is enough. Access to some public charging is also required, to deal with exceptional circumstances, but it can be rare and used only for getting a 15-minute quick charge when the battery is low. L2 is nicer, of course, but it's not the minimum requirement most people think it is. L2 at home enables you to pretty much just forget about charging/fueling ever in your daily life. It's a significant improvement over having to deal with gas stations, so people want it... but it's not a necessity.

We need to avoid all-or-nothing thinking. It will likely be the case for quite some time that people with unusual requirements have to stick with fossil-fuel vehicles. If there are legal electrification requirements they need to have an exception process.

I actually don't think we need legal electrification requirements, myself. If we put a reasonable carbon tax on fossil fuels (calibrated based on our best assessment of the future cost of mitigating the warming that will be caused by burning the fuel) to internalize that externality and if we drop trade barriers that block the purchase of cheap EVs manufactured in China, the transition will happen on its own for purely economic reasons. It'll probably happen even without those steps, but they would make it happen a lot faster.

For that matter, I think we don't even need to impose the carbon taxes and tariffs, just pass them. Phase them in over a decade, so people know they're coming, and people will begin making the change even before they take effect.

You want to sign an NDA to stop your business secrets from getting out? Fine.

But that should not let you refuse to talk to the law.

Imagine a crook that says, "I am sorry, but my NDA with the Cartel prevents me from revealing how we get the Cocaine here."

That is NOT any different from a car repair business saying "I am sorry, but my NDA with TESLA prevents me from talking about the safety issues with their breaks.

Or a cop saying his NDA prevents him from revealing how he suspected the criminal.

No I am saying that no single database should exist for all of their customers.

Amazon does not need to store passwords in the same database they store the sales information in. One database could contain just their encrypted passwords and the emails.

Another could store customers names and addresses.

And each database could be under the control of a different director who gets to maintain their security in a different manner.

Also, Amazon has different businesses. No need for the kindle unlimited accounts to be in the same database as the music accounts. No need for the Whole Foods to be in the same database as the Amazon Fresh. No need for Amazon Medical to be in the same etc. etc. etc.

What is going on is that the businesses are doing things for their own convenience that endanger their customers. NO!

You want to run a business with a million customers? Fine - more power for you. But you do NOT get to run this massive industry in a way that saves you a ton of money but also puts all your customer's privacy in danger.

Just as a small business is required to take minimal steps to ensure the safety of their customer data, you - being a huge business - is required to take HUGE steps to ensure the safety of customer data.

You do not get to use your economies of scale to endanger your customers data.

As long as they can tell themselves that it was at least a teenager they think it's fine.

A depressingly large number of men in their 20s hit on high school girls because they are vulnerable and easy pickins. Now Trump went after girls as young as 13 with an emphasis on ones that looked Young. I think Trump is an actual full-blown clinical pedophile. And that's just the clinical definition he's certainly a pedophile by any reasonable person's definition.

But as long as there is the slightest amount of wiggle room people are going to give Trump a pass.

The men are going to do it because of what they did when they were young.

What's depressing is the women doing it. There's a thing humans do where if they suffer they want other people to suffer the same way. So women who are taking advantage of when they were young are going to sometimes be okay with other women having the same thing happening to them...

I have a trans friend who was briefly upset that younger trans girls were getting better treatment than she did when she was young. The funny thing was she knew what she was feeling was wrong but she couldn't help herself feeling it. To her credit she knew it was wrong.

It's just a thing humans do. Misery loves company. The sad thing is that thanks to the Republican trans panic my friend can no longer say the younger generation has it better...
