I think the word might be 'understating', since the 'under' and 'exaggerate' cancel out?

Another point to browser experience would be local laws / blocked content.
Connecting to a country that has blocked some content will make it so that you can't see that content. So if you want to read an article and an authoritarian government doesn't want that, you're better off connecting to some other place.
A question from me:
Is there a map to show the connections between countries?
I'm curious what the latency is like from my city to other parts of the world, and it would be cool to try and explain the data with where the undersea cables are. It matters for VPNs, but also things like games and video calls.
Yea I think their comment is still relevant, because there are likely other ways that the starlink satellites have issues, but that deorbit design is a good one
I never really explored non-FOSS podcast services, did it offer anything in particular over something like AntennaPod? Is some content exclusive?
I'm conflicted because this is true, the article might discourage someone that was thinking of buying an EV.
At the same time, it's valuable to hear from people's experiences. Many regional governments want to transition to EVs. Hearing a detailed personal account of the different places this person went, and the issues they faced, is very valuable to addressing the issues. If you want to encourage EVs, and someone shares an experience about the issues they had, you're more likely to address them.
It would be nice to also have an article analyzing the issues around ICE vehicles in a forest fire, and if there's a good one, then I'll edit it in to the post. However, I don't think that's the only content we should be able to share. Sometimes people want to share a personal account, and I think it's nice that there's a column for that.
First Person columns are personal stories and experiences of Canadians, in their own words. This is intended to showcase a more intimate storytelling perspective, and allow people from across the country to share what they have lived through.
I was unsure at first, but part of it might be the type of article.

First Person columns are personal stories and experiences of Canadians, in their own words. This is intended to showcase a more intimate storytelling perspective, and allow people from across the country to share what they have lived through.
So it's one person's account of what they experienced and how they feel. There might not be a specific point to the piece, but rather you can take from it what you will. I saw it as advocating for further improving the charging network, in particular focussing on the issue of how forest fires might impact it.
It's also a bad title. The content is decent, but if you just read the title it's bad.
I didn't really see it as a knock against EVs, but the need to expand the network and make it more robust, specifically paying attention to regional challenges that could impact the network.
It's about some of the existing issues that we need to address in order to make the system better, not that we should stay with gas cars. I'm all for EVs, but we can't make the system better without talking about where we can improve it
Not a point against EVs, but rather about the need to build out the network even more
I think infrastructure is still relevant (we need battery technologies so that power loss to a region doesn't shut down all charging stations), but the other point here is that the network is still very sporadic in BC. So when a part of the network is blocked off, because of closed roads, it might leave people stranded.
There's also this other point which is important outside of disaster situations, but probably made worse during a disaster with limited support for vulnerable people:
Hardly unusual, she said, as she often finds EV chargers located in inconvenient places, such as the edges of town or behind buildings. “If I was travelling as a single woman, I would have found myself missing the comfort of a brightly lit gas station on a lonely stretch of highway.”
Post and user flairs would be nice, it's helpful in certain community types.
The rest though, I'm fine without
It was approved specifically for people with paralysis, rather than all the other wild clickbait-intended claims Musk makes
The hope is that all this extra scrutiny around their testing record so far will make it so that the human trials are by the book and well documented. At the very least, that evidence isn't destroyed this time
