That's the rhetoric of both sides though, isn't it?

the only difference is in who the far left vs far right each believe "should be stopped".

Literally the business model of every "shared resource service model" on the planet. Hetzner's entire business model is built on this... them acting like they're shocked to discover this is... disingenuous at best.

Warzones don't have a day shift and a night shift...

I say this as someone who ran Gentoo for years and daily drives Arch today.

Because sometimes you don't want entire swaths of your server being rebuilt/tinkered with on a regular basis under the hood. "Move fast, break everything" is great in dev/test land, or a prod environment where the entire fleet is just containers treated like cattle, but contrary to what the SREs of the valley would believe, there's a whole ecosystem of 'stuff' out there that will never be containerized, where servers are still treated like pets, or rather, at least "cherished mules", that just do their job 24/7 and get the occasional required security updates/patches and then go right back to operating the same way they did last year.

I had forgot, this is 2023 where there's never a middle ground in any discourse, regardless of topic. Thanks for the reminder.

And yet heinous acts of abuse/violence/etc have occurred in both.

By your logic, we should pave all the parks and burn down the libraries.

As a human that has only eyes, I've smashed the underside of my front bumper on many a curb over the years in various cars because just sight alone, blocked by the hood and front end of a car is a crappy way of judging things like that.

I say this as someone who absolutely loves his Model3.. but a step back is a step back, no matter how one spins it.

Radar-delete was a user experience negative for me as well. My autopilot experience today is far more 'jerky jerk' in terms of stop/go traffic than it ever was in the glory days of 'radar distancing data', so much so that AP is now banned on anything but 'smooth sailing highway driving' when I have certain motion sick vulnerable individuals in the car. Add on to that it's now (rightfully, given it's lost the radar available data) far more touchy about weather conditions before it'll even engage. :(

Not sure that's true (most of the founder folk appear to be non-US based, and the foundation is Swiss if I'm not mistaken), nor is it what the US Govt is claiming.

The SEC appears to be saying "45% of the validator nodes on the network are US based, therefore the transactions happened here, and our laws apply". Which is a horribly bad statistical assumption by an agency that would, one hopes, employ actual mathematicians.

I'm far from an ETH fan, more old school BTC myself, but to me, this feels like an exact reminder of why centralization (Even at the country level) is bad, and I can only assume that someone somewhere, who is working on the "next generation of blockchain" just scribbled "GeoIP based node populations limitations/banning" onto their feature roadmap.

But if it's "working fine and generating heaps of cash" as far as upstairs is concerned, there is no way you play the 'refactor/redesign/replace' game and come out ahead.

I'm not sure that's the case for the majority of the country. At-least it's not here in my greater metro area (suburbs or rural... yuppie downtown areas... perhaps, but again, downtown is not majority for most places)

Monthly inflation numbers have been > 5% since May 2021. Oil didn't exceed 2018 $s until will into October 2021.

(toosoon?)

For a Dell, HP, or other multinational conglomerate who gets new chipsets in advance from Intel and always has a dozen or more models on the never ending merry-go-round of 'hype the new, dump last seasons at Costco on the people who don't know any better', no, it's not unreasonable.

For a small batch manufacturer who's been shipping laptops less then a year and is still effectively on their first model release? All in the middle of a pandemic induced supply chain fiasco?

It kind of is.
