1. Larger vehicles pose a much greater threat to pedestrians and cyclists, both from frequency and consequence of incidents.
2. Tire emissions are more toxic than exhaust [1] and tire wear is dramatically greater on heavier vehicles. This is about air pollution in the city, not climate change globally.
Passwords need to be sent both with the request, and to the requestor. I think GP is referring to sending credentials to the service making the request.
It is far better to give service XYZ a time-bound and scope limited token to perform a request than a user's username and password.
Few people have screens as high resolution as even a mediocre phone camera.
Before someone brings up future screen tech, there are additional reasons that's not a trivial workaround. Additionally there's a higher benefit to having high resolution cameras which have a wide field of view and the user may want to zoom in on the physical data vs a screen where the zooming happens in software.
Only 19% of electricity generated today in the US is from coal, trending toward 0. Then consider larger fossil fuel power plants are far more efficient than the tiny engines in vehicles.
"Coal is used to power electric vehicles," is an argument that is more noise than signal.
1. Walking on the moon implied a return trip which requires an extra ~3km/s.
2. Under the rocket equation the fuel requirements for more delta v grows superlinearly, which then awkwardly makes your rocket bigger, which requires more fuel...
3. 22 years prior a metal can went to space. The scale of a manned moon mission in comparison is absolutely nuts, even basic things like having rocket motors that can be relit is a large technical challenge.
11 cubic meters seems like a fairly small amount of water for a car fire. That's less than the capacity of a typical water truck.
What, "applied directly to the battery," means raises questions in my mind. Is this a calculation based on the exothermic potential of the entire battery pack?
Well, the US federal government thinks this is fine.
Citizens still have to file, and often pay taxes if they move out of the country.
If one renounces their citizenship they are liable for up to 10 years of exit taxes.
To have this analogy encompass the full situation, you're also a residential landlord who owns 50% of all residential housing in the US. Your tenants are only allowed to have things in their home that came from the market you control. Things bought in the market also cannot be placed in housing you do not control.
You argue you don't have a monopoly because your tenants can always move, even though most of their possessions cannot be moved to other housing.
Reasoning by analogy is bad, but I think it's important to note that most people's phones are their digital home. It is not a low friction situation to just "shop elsewhere" for a single product when it wouldn't be compatible with your home.
Intel's fault? Uhm, they've had some misses recently, but your statement about RAM support is incorrect.
The 7200u supports 32GB or RAM. That chip is over 4 years old and nothing special. Not sure how long that's been supported, I didn't feel like looking further back.
The issue is your defect rate for larger chips. If a small laptop CPU only has 25% of chips being fully functional, a 4x the size server chip will only yield 0.39% of chips being defect free.
I say this having no idea what Intel's defect rate is right now, and I acknowledge fusing of bad sections can mitigate this a bit.
That is a problem that has not been thoroughly explored. What has been motivational historically, and what is necessary to motivate in the future, do not have to be the same.
And even looking at history, the motivations of scientific development seems quite varied. War has been a key promoter of many fields of science, which has in turn lifted may people out of poverty. So we should have more world wars?
