Некоторые области удивительным образом игнорируют прогресс в других областях. Для меня самым характерным примером являются, пожалуй, бортовые компьютеры автомобилей.
Вчера я ехал на такси Комфорт+, это была вполне приличная и не старая Kia Optima. Водитель параллельно со своим телефоном включил встроенный навигатор, и он ожидаемо оказался очень плох. Мало того, что даже близко не адаптирован под Россию, с убогой не детализированной картой, так ещё и жутко тормозил: FPS анимаций в районе 1-2.
Потом я вспомнил, как мы с друзьями в Москве брали в каршеринге Genesis G70 — Южно-Корейский автомобиль премиум-класса с ценой от 2.5 млн рублей. И там стоял адаптированный бортовой компьютер под управлением Android. Надо ли говорить, что скорость его работы была настолько необъяснимо отстойной, что даже самый дешманский ноунейм китайфон справился бы с задачей навигации лучше?
Каждый раз, когда я вижу экран бортового компьютера автомобиля, я будто смотрю через маленькое окошко в прошлое 20-летней давности. И по скорости работы и по функциональным возможностям всё поразительно плохо. Можно оправдывать это якобы безопасностью (сторонний софт нельзя ставить, чтобы он не мог повлиять на движение автомобиля), но на деле эти цепи легко разделяются: двигатель и важные узлы в одном месте, а навигатор, информация с датчиков, климат-контроль — в другом, на другом процессоре с другой областью памяти.
Автомобильная промышленность в целом довольно консервативна. Поэтому большинство серийных моделей выглядят одинаково скучно, о каких-то крутых новых функциональных фишках мы слышим раз в десятилетие, а какие-то изобретенные полвека назад вещи до сих пор есть далеко не в каждой модели (например, парктроники). Но иногда до абсурда доходит: в тачке за пару лямов компьютер хуже, чем китайский планшет за десятку.

Why I don't have any power?
I guess you have
Okk, what kind? Can I breath in water?
NO
Will I live forever?
NO
Strength or speed?
NO
Okay, then you tell me please
You've the power of HOPE
It will never let you die , just don't let it die
No matter how many times you lost your battle You'll stand again and try, just don't let it die
You'll be able to see light in the dark
Your little little steps will reach to your mark
The road could be long but won't be wrong
All you need to listen is the voices of your heart
We gave you something, which no GOD has
This makes you different, a human from the ash
All the suffering i know you can cope
I believe you child, use the power of HOPE

NOTHINGNOTHING
There is so much to see, so much to feel.
So much to talk, so much to do.
So much to take, so much to give.
So much to make, so much to break.
So much of so much that makes time scarce.
And then there is nothing.
Nothing that withholds all the nothings that makes everything.
Nothing that subsumes everything we'll ever be.
Nothing that consumes everything as it sees.

JUST ANOTHER LIE...
Ever since I started walking he was always next to me. I have known him forever. I loved him forever. He was my best friend before even knowing what friendship was.
Whenever he held me tight I never wanted to let him go.
When others made me cry, he was the only person who made me smile.
There were so many times I wanted to tell him how I felt. I never knew what to say, just like today.
Standing in here embellished my face with a smile. All eyes on us made me feel overwhelmed.
Holding up the glass and all I could think of. What should I say?
Should I say how much I love him?
Should I say I will always love him and he is the love of my life?
Should I say how I really feel?
Or just another lie.
All these years I waited to see love in his eyes. And there it is, for a fraction of second I saw that love in his eyes gazed around just to see the love of his life.
Finally he looked at me raising his glass.
The time has come.
Now what do I say?
That I loved him the most?
That earth stops spinning when he looks at me every time.
Or just another lie.
Well among all the thought that was running in my head all my mouth could comprehend was just another lie.
A congratulatory toss on his wedding day.
#review#shortstory#Hope...
I used to often dwell in the past - achievements and failures, happiness and sadness, joy and anger.
But now I realize that there's nothing much to gain from the past anymore.
Now,
I'm starting to love the dreams of the future, better than the history of the past.

How should I use "I hope" and "I wish"?
@fluencyinenglish
@ieltsstrategies
✅If you want to use "I hope" and "I wish" correctly, you just need to memorize these two phrases:
I hope I can...
I wish I could...
You may be wondering: why do English speakers use the present tense for "hope" and the past tense for "wish"?
The secret is that "could" is not really past tense. It looks like past tense, but it's secretly something different. It's the "unreal" aspect. In other words, it expresses something that's not really true, or not very likely.
We use "wish" to talk about things that are impossible, or things that probably won't happen:
I wish I could fly.
I wish there were more hours in the day.
I wish I'd studied something a little more practical.
On the other hand, we use "I hope..." when there's a good chance that something might happen. You can use it to say what you want to happen in the future:
I hope this cake turns out OK.
I hope we can still be friends.
The grammar of "wish" and "hope"
Here's how "wish" and "hope" look in present, past, and future.

❇️Present
I hope this is the last mistake.
I wish my phone worked here.
@fluencyinenglish
@ieltsstrategies
❇️Past
I hope Antonio got home safely.*
I wish you'd told me sooner.
* You can't use "hope" to talk about something in the past, unless you don't know what happened yet. In this example, you haven't heard whther Antonio got home safely.
@fluencyinenglish
@ieltsstrategies
❇️Future
I hope it stops raining soon.*
I wish it would stop raining.
* You follow "hope" with the present tense of a verb, even when you're talking about the future. So you say "I hope it stops" instead of "I hope it will stop."

This year, scientists found a way to control HIV without daily medicine. They used special lab-made antibodies in two tests. Some people stayed healthy without HIV drugs long after the treatment stopped. This shows it might be possible to live with HIV without taking pills every day.

At this tragic moment our thoughts go both to the people affected by the anguish and fear of having to face war scenarios, and to those who unfortunately are already experiencing it.
TMONK as #charity project It was born to #help others, to give #help in difficult times, to bring #hope where it is very difficult to see it.
But we must also act with facts, not always the word is enough, and for this $TMONK will open a #fundraising for #war victims
We hope that @tonchain, @telegram and all our partner will support this initiative.
For the #freedom e #dignity of people.
To give them a ray of #hope
