But practically,

> start buttons

What is a difference from switch on button on laptop? How do you tell the car, that you are ready to drive?

> physical keys

So when your phone will not be working, are you walking home? I like physical keys because it does not create dependency on single artifact and thus single point of failure.

Last time when Russia tried to launch a vehicle onto orbit, launching ramp has fell apart. So don't throw stones in the glass castle.

Target has been conquering Kyiv and installing pro-russian vassal government like in Belarus. He tried to, as we have seen first 3 months, but spectacularly failed.

Everything after first 3 months is grinding war to save face without a clearly defined target.

Panslavism has died in 19th century when other slavic states figured out that it is just different name for Russian empire. Then panslavism was revived after 1945 as Eastern Block. It has been an economical disaster.

So why billionaires are pushing it, when it will erase them from existence if it is working.

And no, private army or some bunker on Hawaii is not going to save them

I don't complain, I think current seniors are going to be showered with money just to come work for company XY.

1. Cheap electricity: The faster you charge, the more expensive it will get, to the point that charging on Ionity stations is more expensive than taking gas, but it is only way how to charge the EV within 30 minutes, which is still slower than gas. Chinese have stations where you can charge in less than 5 minutes. The price will be probably in multiples of a full gas tank.

2. Place to charge: If you are living in a city, then you have more use from EV, but space is at a premium, so it is unlikely that you have a dedicated parking space. You can drop the gas car wherever. You can't do that with EV because it would not be charged in the morning.

You may want to point out experiments with lamp post chargers, well it turns out that wires in lamp posts are supposed to transfer few kilowatts for lights, and there is no reserve of few megawatts you would need for slow charging of few dozen vehicles. So you would need to build chargers from scratch anyway.

3. Working infrastructure: It really sucks when you have a broken charger or charger which tell you to GFY because software stacks between charger and a car are not compatible.

4. User friendly infrastructure: This is where most progress has been done, but early app-only and no debit/credit cards chargers did a lot of damage to spread of EVs.

Furthermore charging in the middle of nowhere without any services is not a fun experience at all. On gas stations you have at least basic amenities. On a charger in the middle of a field you can maybe piss in a bush.

You can either go through UBI taxing automated work by 90%+ and pretend that capitalism is still a thing, or just nationalize everything and go with communism.

Henry Ford understood this problem with his Model T and realized that if he wants to sell it, he also needs to pay workers to be able to afford it.

I have also worked in customer support for some time and I have found that huge problem for some people (often times developers) is that they are lacking theory of mind. Like they literally can't comprehend that I don't see into their heads and they need to articulate their question with correct context otherwise I can't help them.

AI is like a litmus test for it. People who have theory of mind, are capable of putting together a question which will give them good results out of AI. On the other hand people who are struggling with the fact that AI can't see what you mean unless it is in a context window will have bad time with it. These people also usually suck in managing other people because - once again - they are unable to provide tasks with enough context and properly set boundaries. At best they will give you some vague poorly defined tasks and get mad when you will do it differently than they had in their mind.
