It’s really not, the image is just compressed to shit, zooming into the crowd you’ll see the artifacts

Depending on your location that’s a big chunk of the market already, India is a goddamn powerhouse in that regard.

Yeah, everybody knows google is evil by now. My last sentence is a bit redundant but whatever.

“Military intelligence” my ass, it’s a meaningless term. You’re using military intelligence-derived tech every day.

From what I’ve read Wiz work in commercial cloud security, but I’m sure Google wouldn’t mind a slice of the defence budget. Don’t know whose though. Not to mention, they have a shitload of their own services that could benefit from having them in-house.

Secret Service personnel on the ground moved quickly during the incident, with our counter sniper team neutralizing the shooter and our agents implementing protective measures to ensure the safety of former president Donald Trump.

The secret service didn’t know (or didn’t care) there was a shooter until after the guy clipped the ear. They failed at the prevention part of their job.

edit: all I’m saying is if they failed once, they could fail again. That’s it. I myself have no intentions of ever setting foot in the states.

Nah, it’s chinese so ofc you can’t

If you want to have a cool dream car (without the intention of owning one), look at HiPhi. They’ve done some crazy shit.

It’s worse than that

as part of a revised economic deal that offers Kyiv no security guarantees in return.

It’s not a war you see, it’s a special… military operation? Wait, I think that’s copyrighted, shit

I think plenty of them recognize it, they just can’t organize by themselves. The seeds of distrust have been planted long ago, now they’re starting to give fruit.

seeing humans through the lens of producer and consumer

eh, we’re long past the point of foraging for berries to survive, we kinda have to be both. interesting take though

True, that’s why I sneaked a “probably” in my comment lol

Probably used a car with real plates on

people vastly underestimate how much you get from regenerative braking under real world conditions

From what I’ve heard and read, that’s why the original Opel Ampera/Chevy Volt was so beloved.

and pretty much every major manufacturer switched to plug-in hybrids

Nowadays we have new Honda (and Nissan but who cares tbh) hybrids where the engine doesn’t drive the wheels 99% of the time. So we’re intersecting with that timeline a lil bit lol

I’m not a time traveller so I can’t say for sure, but cars lile Chevy Bolt and Renault Zoe wouldn’t be the same, since Leaf showed that there was demand for small BEV hatches and battery cooling systems

We wouldn’t be here without it though. It did a decent job popularizing EVs, much better than i-Miev for example.

Leaf was the first “off the ground”. Tesla were the first to show that production EVs weren’t limited to boring econoboxes.

Anyway, you can filter out early adopters because they didn’t have factory anti-chrome, so if you see a shiny trim around the windows - it’s probably got a pre-public meltdown era owner.

then you try heroin, makes you feel like a million bucks /s

It got 5 NHTSA stars for driver safety, 4 for passenger, anyone caught outside of it are acceptable casualties. And as far as I know the manufacturer can self-certify.
