can you share what vehicle that is? i don't know why you wouldn't just name it in the post...

Looks like it's the F-150 Lightning. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47421383

I chalk it up to poorly designed software from a company where software isn't the core competency, rather than blaming the basic concept of putting software in a vehicle.

"Bad software is bad" doesn't have the same ring though...


I think in this case the point being made is "bad software makes the whole product bad", not just "bad software is bad".

Its similar to how bad brakes or a roof prone to leaking makes the whole car a bad car. The "weakest link" undermines the whole system.

> software isn't the core competency

Software is a essential part of modern cars, remove the software and they don't function (or in some cases are not allowed on the road). The car manufacturers "core competency" is making cars so I would argue that software is definitely a "core competency" of a modern car manufacturer.


I agree it ruins the whole product.

I also agree traditional car manufacturers should have software as a core competency, but instead they're notoriously terrible at writing software.


i thought Sinners was so overhyped. mediocre performances (great music!) and a terrible plot (why were the vampires forced to ask for permission to enter, and then able to storm the building a few scenes later? was there no better way to resolve that then just forget about it)

loved OBAA (incredible pacing!) but had its flaws too


> why were the vampires forced to ask for permission to enter

Part of well established lore.

> and then able to storm the building a few scenes later?

Because the wife who just saw her husband killed invited them in because she wanted revenge.


> Doesn't pay attention to plot

> Claims plot is terrible

People who complain about aspects about movies they didn't like should all be as forthright as GP in explaining why exactly they didn't like that aspect, so I can decide whether to entirely disregard the opinion.


>terrible plot (why were the vampires forced to ask for permission to enter, and then able to storm the building a few scenes later?

Imagine dinging an Oscar-winning film's plot this loudly, and being absolutely wrong about something easily verifiable.

The shopkeeper's wife (Grace, played by Li Jun Li) freaks out and explicitly invites them all in.

If I was this offbase with a comment, I'd delete my whole account.

IOW, I quote your own comment history: "how does it feel to be misinformed yet opinionated?"


arguing on hn

fwiw i share the same interpretation as the other commenter.


how does it feel to be misinformed yet opinionated?

i have helped several major oil and companies migrate core infrastructure to the cloud.

plus, by the time you steal data relating to seismic surveys and reservoir analysis, you're years to late to exploit it as a competitor.


Thanks for the info. I stand corrected.


you're describing Israel here, right?


Which village in Gaza do you consider to have been peaceful?


speak for yourself.


Could someone explain how they are doing this, safely and without detection or damage to municipal property?
