Selling my Intel stock was a good decision.

Can you give a concrete example where CarPlay has been implemented properly and a bug still exists?

Your local race alignment shop.

People paid that much to see a glowing spreadsheet 40 years ago.

Google has killed plenty of things that work just fine. Being a bad product has nothing to do with cancellation, it is an organizational illness.

This is not true.

Anti collision systems of various sorts have been around for over a decade. The problem space is minuscule compared to self driving, and almost all car manufacturers offer both forward and reverse collision detection at this point.

In fact I think EU is making it a requirement soon.

The genius of one of his recent acts is the trolling he did. He basically made a joke about how fuckable children are and a joke about trans people in the same act, just to see what the media ran with.

I didn’t appreciate how he used Daphne as a shield against criticism, but his unsaid point was salient to me.

NASA doesn’t build many rockets. They are almost all done under contract.

You gotta have more empathy for the average person.

If the average person cared about binary size in terms of bloat, then being that smartphone apps are almost all statically linked, why are smartphones the most popular computer in the world?

To them bloat would feel more like apps you can’t delete, or say ads in a key gui component.

The bloat most people will care about in terms of Linux is facing down a software update prompt with 1000 packages and feeling anxiety over the last such dialog box destroying the use of their favorite apps.

I’m glad there are hundreds of successful distros, their complexities will serve well the hundreds of Linux desktop users.

Yeah, there is definitely a delineation between system and user, and like most things the line will be fuzzy.

But in that end-user software space, 300mb is a pittance to pay for a minor system package update not breaking their favorite application, or a user not being able to use software because their distro is one version behind on libfoo.
