It will save people a lot of time because they don't have to go to the Apple store, they can use their own passport to discover that the phone is still too big in a different dimension to use with one hand.

The swipe controls are terrible on my Pro 2s and make me miss physical buttons like on my ancient Jabra 65t. It's easier to reach into a pocket and push the volume buttons on my phone without unlocking or looking at it.

Tesla can do both. There will undoubtedly be a fee to join and use the Tesla ridesharing platform - I would expect that every Cybercab sold to require, at the minimum, the monthly $100 FSD subscription. On top of that, Tesla would take a cu

I don't know if that's true, especially when those "local governments" are cities with millions of people. You can get permission to operate in a small city, but if you can't drive outside of it, that really limits

Companies have to convince potential franchisees that they will be successful. Usually, the franchiser needs to already be wildly successful and have a playbook of how the franchisee will also be successful and how the franchiser will prote

Between "Most of the west" and "Asian countries" it seems like it's the vast majority of industrialized countries that take off or swap their shoes inside. There's just an odd blip of over-represented online pe

Tesla's system is well-integrated to the car and chargers, but its navigation is terrible. It seems to have marked a street near my home as impassible, so it takes an absurd roundabout route. This problem does not exist on Apple or Goo

California also has its own special gas that no one else uses, and cannot produce or refine it domestically to meet its own demand.

It's not just Mac apps. A Twitter ad is a negative indicator, and makes me less interested in the product.

I thought that was obvious. Stores specify garbage cans outside for the convenience of their customers. People generate trash, especially while eating. But also when they buy stuff. So we have garbage cans so they don't have to carry i

There's no line in my garage. Also most of the public chargers are networked, so you know when they are busy.

I don't live at Costco so it's going to be 30 minutes just back and forth. My Costco does have quieter times, but then I have to plan around it. It never made the slightest bit of sense to make a separate trip for $5.

It's probably part of the initial franchise standards, required and signed off by the fast food corporation. Or the shopping center design. We know as a society, that we need garbage cans, so they are budgeted for and installed. But ow

The user had to notice, and then investigate, their extremely high heart rate and lack of fitness, to have any reason to run an ECG. The watch didn't alert them in the conventional sense, it recorded the information and provided an add

I'm not sure that anyone in the management ladder is affected. People don't generally choose a fast food restaurant or convenience store based on the cleanliness of their parking lots, so sales isn't going to be affected. Nor

It's too bad there's no API to find the current wait time at the Costco gas station. I'm not going to spend an extra hour of my day to save $5.

It is unlikely the low-ranked employees responsible for cleaning up garbage are making decisions on whether to construct or retain garbage cans.

We're not throwing the homeless in jail here, but all the streets smell like urine and you have to watch your step on the sidewalk.

> Apart from BMW, the trend has been for electric cars to get more visibly weird/different, not less. Yup, also see the weird styling decisions on the Toyota Prius and other hybrid cars that shared bodies with non-hybrids.

When Tesla windows are up, the glass tucks underneath the door trim, on both sides of the window. I'm guessing it's for aerodynamics and/or wind noise. I'm not familiar with those other cars, but maybe they're only

Which is only important because someone at Tesla decided their cars must have frameless windows, despite it being a luxury feature that adds complication. Normal framed windows don't need any special handling of the windows when you op

Tesla also cheaped out and didn't use a normal rain sensor for the wipers to enable auto mode, instead using "Tesla Vision". I've heard nothing but bad things about it. Rain sensing was a solved problem and Tesla un-solv

The tiny cameras show up a lot in concept cars, but illegal to have in the US. They've been trying to change the law for a while: https://www.caranddriver.com/features/columns/a28120245/car-... (2019)
