Is there a problem with counting software updates as recalls?

I like the idea of penalizing manufacturers for frequent software updates: they either mean that there are frequent safety issues addressed after manufacturing (so calling them recalls is 100% appropriate) or they mean that the manufacturer is constantly fiddling with the infotainment system. Neither of those are traits I want in a car manufacturer.
I don't doubt that can happen, but I'm also highly doubtful that it's the norm for large, established, mature projects with lots of attention, such as popular libraries and the standard library of popular languages. As time spent on the project increases, I suspect that any gain an interpreted language has over an (efficient) compiled one not only gets smaller, but eventually reverses in most cases.

So, like in most things, the details can sometimes matter quite a bit.

I had an older one (W210) for a while and have to say the driving experience is amazing - the words tank and vault come to mind. I also mostly worked on it myself and this older model was very maintainable and well thought generally - the only exceptions were the pusher cables on the sunroof and the insanely-buried evaporator coil. I've also driven the Car2Go Mercedes models and even though they were the cheapest Mercedes, they still drove very well imo. I miss driving Mercedes cars.

There's probably not a single answer that covers all orgs at all times. I don't know if the core of what happened was due to a fight between "safetyist and amoral capitalists" or "egomaniac and representative board" but it the end it was clear who stayed and who left. Ideas are only as powerful as the number of people of gets persuaded. We are not yet(?) at a moment where persuading AGI is sufficient, so, good ideas should persuade humans. Enough of them.

It’s not for everyone. If you can charge at home with average electric rates and you’re not regularly traveling more than 5 hours at a time then it’s probably a good option.

If consumers wanted smaller cars, they would buy more of them. A car is still much less expensive than a larger vehicle. The data clearly indicates people want bigger vehicles.

That's why they presumably agreed to find a solution. But at the same time shows that in essence, entities with for-profit incentives find a way to get what they want. There certainly needs to be more thought and discussion about governance, and how we collectively as a species or each company individually governs AI.

I'll try to fill in.

I'm very aware that I'm in a bubble with my peers, so these are certainly opinionated.

I would pick Postfix because it's more maintained, and what most of my peers use it too. It's a PitA to configure, but there seems to be many resources online. Most of the configuration are quite common, so that one-time configuration is manageable.

Exim is pretty robust too. I don't have a strong reason to not use it, except that I don't have many close peers who use it. Really nice configuration. If you have a multi-tenant setup, Exim would serve better.

Qmail, despite being unmaintained, is praised for being quite secure. I suppose it's the low number of CVEs.

There is also msmtp that provides sendmail compatibility, but uses an external smtp server (like AWS SES) to send the actual email. This is what I use when the server I'm sending from has low IP reputation but I don't want to change my app to use a REST API to send email.
The pro-Kissinger side will obviously have plenty of defense.

Anthony Bourdain on Kissinger [0]: “Once you’ve been to Cambodia, you’ll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands. You will never again be able to open a newspaper and read about that treacherous, prevaricating, murderous scumbag sitting down for a nice chat with Charlie Rose or attending some black-tie affair for a new glossy magazine without choking. Witness what Henry did in Cambodia – the fruits of his genius for statesmanship – and you will never understand why he’s not sitting in the dock at The Hague next to Milošević.”

Here's a twisted thought...

There are many things in election systems I don't really understand. One such example is being able to vote while not living in your country of citizenship for a very long time.

NOTE: I am only using the US here as an example. The issue is likely present in many other nations.

I have a friend who moved his entire family to Australia twenty-five years ago. They have no intention to return to the US. They can, however, vote one every election. Of course, the reason is that they are US citizens and they our laws grant them this right. And yet, I think it would be just to consider that this should not be allowed.

Why?

If you have relocated to another nation and become a citizen of that nation, your vote is forcing a choice on those living where you used to while you do not have to live with your decisions.

Say you vote for a tax increase. Everyone pays. You don't. Say you vote for a serious change to laws pertaining to education. Everyone has to live with your decision, you don't. You vote for a lunatic for president, governor, minister, whatever. No consequence to you. Not the same for those still living there.

Perhaps the requirement should be that the person has to have lived in-country for a minimum of five contiguous years prior to casting a vote. That means you have been a part of the affected population recently enough and long enough to have "skin in the game".

There is another side to this idea which takes a very different path:

Voting as a weapon.

Imagine a scenario where a nation with billions of people under totalitarian regime sends millions of people to another nation. They instruct them to stay there long enough to become citizens of that nation. In the US that would be about two years. After that, they are forced to repatriate (perhaps there's an implied threat to their family, which ensures repatriation). Once back, these millions of people can be ordered to legally vote as citizens of the other nation. They would vote as directed by the adversarial government. This government could use remote voting as an economic tool and, in many ways, a weapon of war.

What happens if this adversarial government systematically plans and executes such a strategy over decades. At some point they could have control over tens of millions of votes in other nations through their planted naturalized citizens. They could, quite literally, sink entire economies into chaos.

Impossible?

Well, the laws, as far as I know, would not prevent such a scenario.

Either way, I sometimes feel that those who chose to leave a country behind and emigrate to other lands should not have to right to vote and influence life in the country they left.

EDIT: Wow. Really? Why are people arguing about US-specifics that are utterly irrelevant rather than discussing the concept of the potential nefarious use of "remote voting" in any nation? Didn't read my note at the very top?

Geez.
> This may be an ironic question, but have you consulted any attorneys on your risk of running a tool such as this? Seems like this is one of those things where your edge cases will be company-killing lawsuits. If not criminal charges.

That's not necessarily an edge case: contract review is practice of law, and offering it publicly unlicensed practice of law, in many (maybe most) US jurisdictions, often subject to both tort liability from anyone harmed -- potentially either customers or lawyers, though its harder for the latter to prove particularized injury -- and criminal charges. Its why Donotpay.com, who was offering that publiclty earlier in the year, pivoted out of that space and other practice-of-law spaces after media attention, government investigations, and the leading wave of private litigation on the issue hit them.
Yeah, and that just means that the board is useless de facto.

Road damage is caused at a rate of something like (weight ^ 4) / (# of axles), right?

So, a proper road use tax would have to be based on that same formula times the distance driven. That seems pretty simple and unavoidable, no matter how distasteful some people might find it.

Same for big trucks, although they should probably get a reducing scaling factor applied because they're usually hauling commercial products that benefit larger numbers of people.

> I think the "electric SUVs are bad for pedestrians" is just there to replace "SUVs are bad for the environment". Basically, this isn't a real argument, just a vibes thing

Actually both of those statements can be true. Trucks have gotten larger and more dangerous for pedestrians and so it has become more common for people to point out vehicle size as a concern in addition to environmental issues.

> the difference in pedestrian danger from large car vs. small car is minimal.

I am not an expert here but from what I have heard, this is false.

To me it feels like Mazda did it right even though they got a lot of crap for it. Still feels like they are a hidden gem. What they did was focus on fleet average. Their thesis was whats the point of being green if you still are selling gas guzzling hogs and you just sell some garbage EV to offset them.

So what they did was first drop their pickup truck and then develop a smooth and efficient 4 cylinder engine mated to traditional transmission to deploy across the fleet, then slowly migrate all of them to a hybrid drive and then finally move to a fleet wide EV architecture. This keeps the fleet average down while also not compromising in other ways like crummy CVTs. (Im not sure if they use deactivation.)

Will it work? well so far their first EV entry didn't fare so well. But they are still on the move to hybrid phase and they make some pretty darn smooth cars these days.
