Much better way to describe this concept then my comment. It still funny that’s the result caused by his actions which is the exact opposite of what he wants to do.

Yes but most cars with an immobilizer can not be remotely activated unless a specific system is installed which is normally offered as a premium feature. Like if I had a keyless start Ford from 2014 Ford couldn’t remotely shut that car off.

It is funny that Trump is uniting the world through their hatred of him. He ironically might be the best thing ever for the destruction of imperialism.

It’s always been awful. We have always sacrificed the homeless and the poor on the altar of “political progress”. It’s pretty par for the course in the United States.

It’s particularly egregious, though, when it’s done by a United States sitting president. Especially for the incredibly petty reasons he’s doing so.

No, there’s a few incredibly cheap cars that do not have these features. Also, I’ll just buy used cars. These features don’t exist in hardly any car before, like, 2015.

Yes, but I don’t have to buy a car with OnStar in it. It seems like every electric car has these OTA features at least in the states. In internal combustion cars that can avoid those features. I’d be more than happy to buy any one of these electric cars if I control the updates and there’s no always on connection.

Sacrificing the homeless on the alter of distraction. Foder for the powerful.

Fucking awful

Reddit too

Man, if all electric cars can do this bullshit, then I think I’m gonna just be stuck with an internal combustion engine no matter how bad they are for the environment.

Ain’t no way I’m gonna get into a vehicle that can be remotely disabled by a jackass.

Evidently not well. Seems like they don’t want you to retire according to the article

He was just asking for information and the email … chain makes it quite clear that the decision was made by the police that it would be inappropriate to, to make any contact with him and, and that was the end of the matter

This had been anybody else but a lord. They would probably be in trouble for this line of action.

Idk it kinda feels like the implication is that if you have due process, then this would be okay. I’m firmly in the camp that nobody should be shipped to an El Salvador Gulag for any reason

This is a really interesting read, but this dude missed a major component of best practices, which is that your architecture needs to be able to respond to a proper disaster, which includes Amazon just dropping out of the sky and nuking your entire account.

Frankly, it’s shocking that he didn’t have local copies or a home server that he kept backups too. I’ve seen some people mention that a multi-cloud architecture is hard to set up, which is true, it’s also expensive, but I don’t think it would be super hard to set up, like, a blob storage in Azure, or a Google Cloud Storage, to just keep backups of whatever you’re working on. We should always keep in mind that our accounts getting locked is always a possibility.

It’s kinda weird, normally when you hear about things like this, it’s the other way around where somebody was running a major production component on personal infrastructure and couldn’t handle the bare metal.

During the entire article I kept thinking how it wasn’t best practice to use the same cloud for everything, that you needed a different cloud because occasionally, your account can just get nuked from orbit. People dont understand that these corporations are really just held together with luck prayers and duct tape. Software enables us to develop in the worst ways possible, and then call it production.

Hey, I don’t care about the reason as long as it helps the cause.

stagflationary environment that economists were predicting a few months ago: mediocre growth, a weakening labor market, and rising prices.

Yeah, that tracks.

Probably could have left out the words “without due process” because they should not be throwing people into an El Salvadorian gulag.

That’s just imperialism, dude. Unfortunately, what you’re describing is the final stage of capitalism. Imperialism, where all that’s left is for capital to drain everything for the gods of profit.

Unfortunately, it’s a bit of the other way around. Israel only exists at the pleasure of the United States. I’ve read somewhere that we’re funding up to 70% of their economy right now.

The sad fact of the matter is, the United States doesn’t care about the Palestinian cause or plight other than the bad press it’s giving them.

Don’t be fooled, the United States has always been in control of a situation, and it’s simply choosing not to do anything.

Good to know. Thanks for the additional info
