Don’t fall for it, Germany. There’s never going to be a convenient time to stop burning fossil fuels. The economists will never tell you it’s a good idea, unless it’s in some comfortably distant future that will never come. Do it now.

Remember when Google tried to bring remote “attestation” to PC web browsers? Everyone was horrified and they were forced to back down. Somehow when it happens to phones, people are slower to understand the danger — as if they’re not real computers, and naturally should belong to someone other than their nominal owners.

Presenting everything that’s happening as somehow normal — even while sensationalizing it — is what the mass media do now. I don’t mean it’s a conspiracy, it’s just that’s all they know how to do.
