See Ocado, although things aren't going so well for them at the moment.

I guess someone who enjoys solving these kinds of problems anyway, and thinks the potential upside if they do get hired is worth it.

It's interesting, I was hoping it would be based on more than just the rates change though. Maybe combined with Google "how busy is this place" data, for example.

Classic Swiss Cheese model. How many times did someone cross the road, wearing dark clothing, with an eyepatch on, but the operator was paying attention and successfully avoided them.

> this seems to have less than 80 structures (overpasses, bridges, underpasses etc.) whereas HS2 has 175 bridges and 52 viaducts. Doesn't tunnel beat any of those structures in terms of cost/complexity?

Ah that's interesting, IIRC in the video I'm thinking of they did get a 3rd party engineer to come out with a laptop and re-enable the battery in Tesla Toolbox, so that fits with what you're saying.

Interestingly I’ve seen YouTubers replace the fuse in a Tesla for about £40 and a few hours of labour (it’s under the rear seats). Maybe something they’re doing right.

Didn't Klarna say they'd replaced all of their customer service reps with AI, and then had to backtrack and rehire them when the AI was doing a terrible job?

Isn't it more like morphine or another opiate?

I wonder if the higher-end banks, e.g. Coutts, let you use one.

Ironically until fairly recently Nationwide required the little keypad authenticator thing, and everyone hated it!

Canada, Australia and Germany are all big exporters; without tempting fate, I don't think the UK will have issues importing from those countries.

Maybe this is the next PPI/dieselgate/car finance campaign? "Did you buy a Tesla between 2015 and 2025? You could be owed £1000s"
