Real vision is fucked when you can’t actually see what’s behind your car.

Cameras will prevent a lot of unnecessary property damage, and more importantly, fully mitigate risk of killing humans/animals that are behind the car and outside the field of view.

The thing is extremely repairable! Take advantage of that :)

Eh, kinda? I mean they do that then countries will work around root servers. It’s basically MAD doctrine.

So far root servers haven’t done stuff to ccTLDs

cTLDs do things very differently

Why would we expect schooling to get…cheaper?

The vast majority of the cost is hiring teachers. It should be staying in line with inflation or even increasing.

As usual unfortunately laws are reactive.

In the span of how long it takes for law to catch up to what’s going on, YouTube and Facebook has been around for a tiny amount of time.

I think more so I’m saying that the platform (metaphorical ship) is sinking.

Majority of applications on Linux are native applications. Maybe the problem is the platform?

I drop the word need there.

But yes putting it as part of DHS was a mistake and mistakes can be fixed.

FEMA does not and should not be a part of DHS. Good try though.

As a user Microsoft is windows and windows is Microsoft.

If doing native apps was realistic then I’d expect windows, Microsoft, etc to also do them.

When Microsoft themselves use electron to develop apps what expectations can we have on other devs?

Launch numbers are not an indicator of launch capacity fwiw.

Iran’s fewer launches are now hitting their targets more.
