It's not only about demoing. As a farmer you have very few days to get your seeds out and very few days to get your harvest in. If you machine breaks down for too long, you might lose a lot of money. So you only get machines from someb

That's a problem for you. It's not a problem in Germany when a few people out of hundreds are out healing.

Your capacity planning is off. If a few people out of hundreds are out sick, this should in no way affect the others as a whole.

Yes but there are still significant differences. E.g. Germany has no legal concept of dedicating work to the "public domain". Everything released as "public domain" today is effectively copyrighted. You can release your

Not disagreeing with you but quite a few younger people driving those cars are living at their parents and have little to no other significant expenses. Yes, 800€/mo is a lot for many but for some it's in the "affordable if I

All of this is already happening. In the EU energy efficiency labels are being put on household appliances and cars. Clothes dryers have them, vacuums have them, washing machines and dishwashers, too. It's not allowed to sell things th

If that's the case, why should auto makers now demand you pay sticker price? Public companies don't do anything in your favor, ever. It's always because they think that they can now extract even more money from you.

I cannot confirm VWs being unreliable. My family drives 4 18+ year old VWs (3 Golf, 1 Passat), all Diesel with 150,000+ km (2 with 300,000+ km) on them. Not a single rusty part, all on their first clutches (one is pulling trailers regularly

The only reason why Tesla hates dealerships is because they don't want to pay them, full stop. All those horrors can also happen without dealerships, see above. Tesla wants people to pay the sticker price without being able to haggle a

Yes, a machine readable section on the diploma, like a QR code, would suffice here. Covid vaccination certificates in the EU use this method. No blockchain required, just some good old public/private key cryptography.

To be fair, HN is run by a startup investor, which attracts a specific audience. A lot of commenters here have kind of fetishized money and early retirement.

Or rather spending time with their family and friends after clocking out at 4pm without on-call or required overtime. Plus no performance reviews and goals to match for stock incentives to worry about.

Since Tesla is a very young and upscale brand deaths per mile would be very misleading. You need to also account for price range, car type, and age of the vehicle. There is quite the difference getting into an accident with a 20 year old Ho

Europe does fine differently than the US. The fines will increase dramatically and persistently for each continuing violation. It might eventually reach 4% of annual world-wide revenue - for each EU country.
