Nearly all UK drivers = "total of 1,850 drivers". Also mind you, in UK you can go to jail for disagreeing with narrative. I hold this article somewhat sus.
With that said, yeah, headlights are kinda bright these days
I'm considering a new heat pump (ducted) and daikin seems to require One+ Smart Thermostat to run it in most efficient way, so - cloud. I don't think this project supports plugging into it, but perhaps it's possible?
I constantly see beliefs dubbed as "conspiracy theory" later found to be actual true facts. Does that indicate that truth is sometimes on the fringe, and if yes, then what "fringe" really is?
I used to work in IT in a large corporation back in the days. Amount of work necessary to procure software was so staggering, that any alternative "creative solution" would be much more preferable. And the worst thing is that the cheap software was the one that suffered most. The gazillion-dollar CISCO upgrade was no problem, it's already gazillion dollars.

For example: government forces me to have health insurance, and health insurance is unable to satisfy my needs online - DON'T FORCE ME TALK TO YOUR ROBOTS. These don't typically recognize my voice, and frankly speaking "How can we help you? You can say anything" sounds like an insult to me. Many of the businesses don't even offer touch-tone navigation anymore. It used to be that "Say blablabla, blablabla, or blablabla" meant you could use "1", "2", or "3" respectively, but now even that is no longer working in many cases.
Hire f*ng human, or don't offer phone line at all.
No P&L, no cost/reward analysis, no numbers at all. Just emotional "omg need more green". Have the author ever torn down a single parking lot? Doesn't look like that to me. Why is this article even on HN at all?
I've been a Linux user for 15 years. This works fine for me and [some of] my family. I still can't fathom regular folks using any flavor of it. Chrome and Android obviously disregarded.
there's no such right, never been. Just because one has a right to speak, doesn't make it an obligation for others to listen
