GP already explicitly called it bipartisan, and it was bipartisan well before Obama (though if we're pointing fingers at a modern president for accelerating the abuse of "national security", it really should be Dubya).

It’s not for users it’s for people who think 1/4 of the traffic a raspberry pi could handle is scale. Or don’t know what a server is.

... or those who don't know about constant-time functions, the difference between sha1 and argon2, etc. etc. I had to fix such things several times in corporate internet-facing systems. A generalist engineer can do this just fine, if they're aware of the state of the art, but there's nothing ensuring that they actually do. The compliance tickboxes were of no help here either.

You're assuming many can even buy a car right now, let alone a new one.


I don't live in a "first world" country, where I live people have cars, some even chinese ones.

I would assume in the first world people can have cars and air conditioning, maybe not having AC, a car, or a home is a first world problem now. If an average person in a middle income country can drive a car, surely its possible for most of humanity.


Usually a product not working with 99.995% of the eco system is a no go.
