I wonder if Finix should have raised the issue? Article oddly remiss.

What are some use cases?

That seems reactionary.

Sure. But inheriting a deal is very, very different from originating a deal.

As usual, Tesla's involvement in the original deal is reported incorrectly. Tesla had no involvement in the original deal. Nor did Solar City. In fact, Silevo did the deal, was then acquired by Solar City which was then acquired by Tes

I'm optimistic. Already supported by Chrome, Safari, Firefox & Edge on both mobile and desktop including support for both Apple & Google Pay where possible.

Does the payment processor need to explicitly support it or can it be implemented independently of processor?

It's mostly a card thing.

Would be great to see more HowTo's and sample code on implementation. Thanks for your efforts. I'm bullish on the topic.

Those payment methods and countries with silly regulations will get left behind.

That’s a lot of dysfunction for such a small company and you don’t seem too solution-oriented. Why would a 50 person company even have a CIO?

I dunno. To make the need unnecessary seems OK.

But an SDK is unnecessary for POSTing JSON back and forth.

Why does every API need its own set of client libraries? Wasn't the promise of RESTful APIs to obviate the need for such? Is it perhaps because basic JSON handling and POST/GET processing is still so miserable in most environments

I always thought “deep linking” was the dumbest phrase, definitely for websites, maybe less so for SPAs. It’s just “linking”!! And it should be trivial to implement.

It's not clear what the dealer thought they were buying from Tesla nor how the dealer represented the car to the buyer. The brand new sticker is generally not used in a pre-owned sale. There would be a new sticker.

Apple’s refurbished products have absolutely been scrubbed of any extra software added by previous owner.

Kind of like a human?

Why is that strange? Does Tesla strike you as conventional?

No, it operates in an infintessimaly small test area.

In one very small geo, waymo is maybe 1-2 years ahead.

Can you buy any sort of waymo at all?

A simulation vs actual?

The $35 I think is an activation fee. I do believe you might also have to pay sales tax which on a $1200 device might be $100.

The Practice Fusion ones almost certainly would fit your crieria. Ie “after [x] type of surgery, fentanyl and oxycontin are reasonable painkillers”. (Both entirely legal and widely prescribed today)

No one murdered anyone. Opioidal medications are entirely legal. Doctors did and do prescribe them all the time. Your accusations seem a bit excessive.

"sell the customer an iPhone every three to five years" Aren't lots of people on monthly plans now with "free" annual upgrades?

I don’t get it either. They claim 300m MAUs and healthy answer growth. While it’s SEO is fantastic, the actual content is pretty marginal. I have no idea what the ultimate point is like I do with, say, Wkipedia.
