There’s mostly anecdotal, like this: https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-model-s-400k-km-250k-mi-7-pe... 400k km, supercharging a lot, 7% degradation, that’s better than anybody expected.

More like for being an ass about it. Volkswagen is promising (to use your terms) to produce millions of cheap EVs in 2019... err, 2020... er, by 2025. They’re doing that for years, without producing barely anything. Meanwhile Tesla is overl

Norway has electric sockets next to parking spots. It predates EVs, something about 12V batteries and extreme cold around there.

It’s rather obvious it learned nothing. After seeing cookies banners, it was entirely evident and predictable that GDPR will result in more aggressive banners. Which it, surprising no one competent, did.

I already encounter EU blocked sites almost daily. It would get much worse. And yes, I do consider it terrible that my nanny state government decided what is best for me, over some hysterical fears about tracking. I don’t give a damn. I don

For others reading this comment: “recently” as in “several years ago”, i.e. not do recently, that rule was rather short-lived.

As the article says, it’s almost always useless. Even if it weren’t, at least some amount of thinking should be involved in requesting it, and e.g. don’t do it on feature requests or API defect problems. But they do, oh they do. It should

They have a habit of spamming this request semi-randomly, seemingly without underlying knowledge of an attempted fix - e.g. you get the same request, at the same time, on several bugs. Sometimes it’s obvious it doesn’t come from any knowled

It also depends on where and how you drive, park etc. To me, the difference between filling up on gas and 20 minutes on a Supercharger not only isn't enormous, but literally doesn't matter. But that's because I charge at home

Revoking a certificate removes the ability to sign the malicious executable and any future executables . Blocking a specific executables block that one. Depending on AV used, simply rebuilding may get you through (different hash); some tri

Nothing is zero risk, including owning a car; include the risk in your calculation. Your time frame is not one year, but typically 3-5. If your loan is at 2%, you don't need your stocks to hit 8% every year. You need them to be no wors

Not universally true. I can't get better care even if I pay for it, I'm only legally allowed to pay only for trivia; the only care available to me is the "free" (read: costing ~8% of my income in mandatory medical tax) o

They are changed slightly - some UI elements differ, some controls have native capabilities (e.g. right-click a text entry field). The expectation is, I think, that they’ll adapt the UI More significantly eventually.

...and this is the obvious difference that seems reasonable to blame, yes - if frivolous lawsuit is low-risk, low-expense action, why not do it. In reality, looser-pays is usually more subtle, the winner is typically awarded only some stand

US speaks a common language and has common culture and well-working federal level public oversight. Federal-level elections are prestigious, the best policians are not local, but federal, and can talk to voters in all of US. Literally none

Is it so hard to acknowledge that people you politically disagree with might actually have valid reasons and not be the vegetative idiots you assume them to be?

I’d say it’s essential for a functioning democracy to have all decisions made under scrutiny. Whether that’s local or not doesn’t matter, scrutiny matters. And for better or worse, we only have somewhat functioning local scrutiny. These

You don’t “loose” copyright, you never had it in the first place. Copyright is (read the law!) a temporary monopoly granted for works meeting certain criteria, being creative is one of them. You’d hold copyright for the code you wrote t

GDPR covers personal data. It is not universal magic dust for punishing everything you dislike. Movement of your finger on the screen is not personal data. Screenshots most of the time aren’t either.

They are not required by DMCA to nuke you after 3 strikes, and they are allowed to keep the content if you file a counter-notice. Neither really works with YouTube. This IS on Google.
