Standardised is a funny word, a car manufacturer doesn't standardise. Laws and 3rd parties like ANCAP do.

When they need to do it to sell it with certain safety requirements, they will.

However, even if those happen, and car makers today start building them with that, it'll take a decade or longer before you'll start seeing them in majority on the road. So even if you lobby for it, expect time since I'd say less than half of all people buy new cars, so it's not until the second hand market sees it will it be commonplace.

Right now the second hand market is starting to see things like collision avoidance systems and they will often flash brake lights when emergency braking on behalf of the driver.

Your family is in our neighbourhood and in this domestic dispute I'm just wondering if I need to call the police or the abundance.

Coming from a decade of vmware esxi and then a few years certified Nutanix, I was almost instantly at home clustering proxmox then added ceph across my hosts and went 'wtf did I sell Nutanix for'. I was already running FreeNAS later truenas by then so I was already converted to hosting on Linux but seriously I was impressed.

Business case: With what you save on licensing for Nutanix or vsan, you can place all nvme ssd and run ceph.

Yep. I am absolutely fascinated by it. Totally agree with you, you couldn't be more right. I'm a heavy AI user and I love seeing those 2 minute papers about what clever people are doing with it, like creating a swarm of AIs to create a game using giving AIs roles and responsibilities and reporting hierarchy, code review, and more. On the other side I literally made copyright infringing material by accident.

While public ones might get some safe guards to help prevent people from doing bad things easily and intentionally, there's plenty of unrestricted ones coming in, scraping the internet, training and offering a moral free AI. The arms wars have begun on all kinds of fronts. I can't predict where we will be in 5 years from now.

Id be betting pessimistically though

I'm trying to get you to validate your point.

Risk 1: identity theft. Doesn't apply, travel cards aren't a form of identity. If stolen they can not be used as identity.

Risk 2: money theft. Largely mitigated to minimal amounts trivial if not returned.

I get it, you don't like this conversation, you'd rather I do my own research than discuss alternatives any further. I won't reply after this.

Explain the risk of fraud with a travel card.

[-] Annually2747@lemmy.world -1 points 11 months ago

What I was just advocating for, is taking ownership and control of the risk. If it's your own entire bank account perhaps with a few thousand dollars, that risk is thousands of dollars. By segmenting that you can reduce it to dozens of dollars in which case, no matter the coin flip of bank fraud and money return, you're never putting your eggs all in one basket.

Risk management is more than good insurance.

The fraud prevention page for my mastercard debit card is the same page as the credit card page.

However, what I really recommend is you can get travel cards that you load with minimal money and are entirely disposable. You don't need to only use them overseas. I have used them for online payments and in person payments and they're disposable. That is I can get two more unique cards with unique numbers at any time. Minimising my personal risk since they can't be used as ID and I limit the money on the card to just what's needed. If it's stolen skimmed or tried to be used fraudulently I might at most lose 50 dollars but I also probably know who within a margin of error skimmed it since I rotate them with new cards every so often.

I'm also in a place where losing 50 Australian dollars won't financially bankrupt me if it was stolen. Because I'm pretty sure there is lots less fraud protection on those travel cards.

Anyway there's alternatives for those who can't or morally object to credit cards. Like me. Mine is I'm bad with money, I morally don't trust myself since I went into 10k debt at 18.

I seriously wonder how some of you read comics as kids, and if that explains who you are as adults.
