If you haven't read the interview, in it she relates a story where her young daughter's teacher asked her to write three things that made her child special. Apparently she is such an awful mother that she couldn't do that, and turned to AI for assistance. The AI shat out some generic Hallmark style platitudes, and she was delighted.
People like her want to dehumanize all of us to that level.
I've only been paying attention since 1990 but every single time a feature they don't offer "is stupid" until they offer it.
Even when I liked the company this Cluster B behavior always bothered me.
If there's an example of "that's a really nice feature our competitor has but we don't offer it yet" I haven't seen it.
The closest I can think of was offering WebObjects for Solaris. Not sure if that ever shipped or we just had a beta. I bailed from that Healthcare IT team when the CIO pulled funding for two-phase commit among disparate patient medication systems with the rationale "even if medication errors kill someone it'll be cheaper to settle the lawsuits than pay for the license." Enough people left that they outsourced and everybody still hates that replacement system.
I learned too late that MBA's don't care about quality.

I remember in High School the Camaro guys couldn't stop talking about how their Camaros were better than Mustangs but the Mustang guys never felt the need to denigrate the Camaros.
It's a matter of nature.

Some people here may need to panic right about now.
Social democracy is the way to deal with it. If everyone has a stake, but nobody has overall or excessive power, and the government truly works for the people, the outcomes tend to be decent.
It probably does cost Google something. They scan apps and devices for malware, and anything that increases the number of apps and ways to distribute them will increase the cost. They also have to certify these app stores, they aren't just going to let anyone set one up and start distributing malware or pirate streaming apps.
It feels calibrated to deter unserious applicants, but not cause further legal woes.
The real issue is F-Droid and similar open source app stores. It remains to be seen exactly how it is going to pan out.
That's interesting. Ours hasn't quite caught up yet, and will do things like limit the size of the inverter you can install because they don't trust the export limiter.
How does it work for an outage? With solar inverters they need to have a special island mode where they disconnect the grid, so there is no chance of backfeeding power into it and electrocuting the technician who is trying to fix it. Most inverters don't support that and have an automatic cut-off if they don't detect the grid is up (i.e. there is already 110V 60Hz there).
If you have Vehicle 2 Load you can just plug appliances directly into the car.
Many of the nuclear fanatics want it because they think it means they don't have to change their lifestyle, or because they are NIMBYs and fear wind turbines and solar farms appearing near them (but don't care about nuclear plants near someone else).
Renewables and storage are by far the cheapest and fastest option now. Nuclear is just kicking the can down the road, not doing anything for another 20+ years because "nuclear is coming".

Nissan did it back with the original Leaf around 2012. It was advertised as for emergency use and required an expensive wall box. Later there were V2G options for it, also rather expensive.
True, but I wouldn't read much into the 75,000 figure. Folding it repeatedly isn't the same as keeping it in a pocket, exposed to normal dust and lint, and folding it repeatedly. In other words, it's likely to be optimistic.
I'd say the flaw is that the tolerance is so tight that the manufacturing yield is unacceptably low.
The right way to do this is to hire a group of developers and have test volunteers report workflow problems - then FIX them - then iterate. That's the point of choosing an open source solution.
Eventually there would be no problems remaining.
But so many possible scenarios exist that it's impossible to guess what happened here.

There are apparently other unpatched vulnerabilities that are known but 'too busy':
It sounds like this fix got done because it was 'accidentally' posted as a public PR.
Yeah, the threat actor would need a foothold on the PXE network, which is a private VLAN (or better) in the competent case.
That's why we worry about APT's and such.
Granted, you'll find people on certain cloud providers who do far too much on a public IP.
But also, in China the government runs the country and controls the economy, not the stock market like in the US. So it's really an apples to oranges comparison.
Also "vaporizing some $480 billion in market value" is kind of hilarious. Can you vaporize something that is already vapour?
