When you're driving significantly below the speed limit (or more accurately, below the average speed of the other drivers), it becomes impossible to maintain proper dostance behind you. Add to that the fact that people randomly drive i

Definitely, and that's exactly why I claim this is not even close to FSD, and why I absolutely do not want this in my car. If I have to be on the wheel and ready to react at any point in time, then I'd rather be the one driving an

Very very far from "always". Many say "when kids are present" or "on school days". Some rely on external signs to indicate whether the zone is active or not, and some localities within the US have completely un

> It may do the wrong thing at the worst time. So, basically, I need to somehow predict that FSD will do the wrong thing and react myself, _before_ the worst time, because the worst time is when it's already too late. Or, in other w

And yet, you know that it's there, and nobody called it "without microcode".

That's a good complaint though. Abstraction can be a very good thing, making things that are difficult more accessible. But a level of abstraction that tries to hide the fact that lower levels actually exist creates confusion, widens t

I mean, they don't need to. Their job isn't to make work more comfortable for the employees and/or make them more productive. It's slashing costs while still maintianing a facade of a desirable workplace. That's why

Pretty sure that's what they meant. They said "tokens."

That doesn't sound like something that would reduce my workload as a driver. Sounds like I need to be with hands on the wheels, always on the lookout for the system not to respond to something that it otherwise should, AND for things t

That's true, the apps are sometimes good and they do make certain things easier and more accessible than traditional solutions. I know I didn't mention it explicitly, but the "stupid app" was actually me venting my anger

Cutting corners is how these so called "tech companies" disrupt markets. They remove all the bloat; the bloat being safeguards and processes created through years of experience and evolution. And we flock to them, praising them fo

Always happy to see OneBag shared, even if the forum doesn't seem to be apt. This incredibly comprehensive work by Doug Dyment has made me into the traveler that I am today. I have been following his guidelines and recommendations for

I definitely agree with this, although even for the "zero negative consequences" argument I usually counter with "one of your friends loaded all their contacts into some app that shows them who's calling them, and now yo

I feel it's very easy to counter this argument too. A person can choose to trust specific persons/organizations/governments with their personal information. For example they'll share secrets with some friends but not wit

Interesting article and interesting opinion. I particularly like this quote: "Employers can get away with paying workers less when those workers don’t talk about money." I find it to be very true.

If they can't be tracked, how would that deter thieves? Edit: looks like they can't be used to track, but to identify cacti "suspected stolen", so I guess that's something.
