<p>I don't understand these types of comments. It's clear you don't value the features Immich provides. Can you not imagine someone else valuing them?<p>What are you trying to communicate to us? Maybe you are just trying to tell people that they can get away with simpler solution if all they care about is unscheduled photo backup. If so, I feel there is a less antagonistic way for you to say it.</p>

<p>The 11 series has a new MediaTek modem compared to previous Pixels(since 7 I think?). The old modem had power efficiency issues during poor cellular signal as well as a relatively lengthy GPS lock acquisition.<p>I don't think there is enough evidence yet about either but I can attest that GPS feels improved over my 7. It's only been 1 week though.<p>The non-Pro 11 has a much larger photo sensor and has more base storage. Everyone has different priorities. I'm not saying which is better but trying to give a more complete picture.</p>

<p>You can still use the cable that came with the device. Are there a lot of manufacturers who are shipping cables that are not sufficient for their device?<p>And if the complaint is that cables are the same color, can they not be labeled? Everyone who wants different cables should just treat their USB-C cables as different cables. They get everything they want and the people who want the benefits of mixing cables (at the cost of them sometimes not working) can get what they want.</p>

<p>Yes. This is the worst case scenario: You don't have the required cable.<p>In an alternative world with no unified connector, you also likely don't have the required cable. The result is the same.<p>It's just that in this world, the worst case scenario happens a lot less. There is often a fallback when you don't have the required cable and you get <i>some</i> functionality. But, most people most of the time the cable they have does what is needed.</p>

<p>By immigrating, your parents(and you) took on the shared responsibility for the countries wrongdoings and great deeds.<p>When people talk about this stuff, it isn't about apportioning blame.<p>I'm not big on the stolen land thing because it's turtles all the way down, but this idea of divvying up blame makes no sense. We are all citizens.</p>

<p>Why you would compare a minivan to a compact SUV in terms of mass? The Sienna and Odyssey both weight ~4500 lbs. That's more or the same as the Grand Highlander or Pilot, both mid-size SUVs. Compact SUVs typically weight in the 3500-4000 lb range.<p>It's true that full size SUVs and trucks weigh even more though.<p>What is the physical mechanism that would cause a vehicle hitting a more massive vehicle to be worse than the same vehicle hitting a wall at the same speed? My understanding is the impulse is greater in the wall collision. It feels like a wall is the ideal test. I know there has been talk of getting the NHTSA to test offset frontal collisions, but it would still be stationary.<p>Regardless, I'm sorry that happened to your family. I would fear for mine if a similar thing happened. The arms race of ever more massive vehicles is an unfortunate social dilemma problem.</p>

<p>I think you are being needlessly antagonistic here. I think they were simply stating that we, collectively, would benefit from prioritizing vaccine development more than we currently do. Perhaps they felt stating that would in some way convince others that this is true and maybe more people would vote for it.<p>May I suggest you be more charitable in interpreting people here? I think you'll find conversations more productive.</p>

<p>Netflix used to define the ratings as "Hated It", "Didn't Like It", "Liked It", "Really Liked It", and "Loved It". I didn't find it difficult to memorize.<p>What's to stop you from applying whatever textual descriptions you want to the numbers?</p>

<p>They stated why. If you allow people with the means to do so to opt-out of a system, they do not participate in the system.  The system now loses the governance and to some degree resources of those people with means.<p>More specifically, rich families put their kids through private schools and abandon the public school system. Without skin in the game, they vote to reduce the budget of the public school system. Rich families generally have more time and resources to spend being involved in the schools. They won't be spending those resources advocating for improving the public school systems. Additionally, their kids, who are well-cared for and come from a family who values education, do not form a peer group with the other less fortunate kids. This deprives those kids of better peers to model.<p>Now, you can argue that the freedom of and benefits to the rich families trumps the benefits that the poorer families would receive, but there is a greater good argument.<p>I've seen it argued that universal social programs are generally seen to work better and are more popular compared to means-tested ones. For example, Medicare and social security vs Medicaid and TANF.</p>

<p>I've been playing around with Plaid the past few days and they very clearly list the permissions during authentication:<p><a href="https://i.imgur.com/xNPTIzy.png" rel="nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/xNPTIzy.png</a><p>They even link to a dashboard that displays all the information you are sharing with developers:<p><a href="https://my-sandbox.plaid.com/account" rel="nofollow">https://my-sandbox.plaid.com/account</a><p>That said, I agree that the average user won't realize the implications. Additionally, revocation/deletion of the data requires emailing them.</p>
