Google ran a huge push to get these into schools too… There was a LOT of pressure on Schools to adopt from various partners (or at least that happened in the UK)…

Google is aware of the Microsoft gains from getting people used to their products at a young age…

I’m really confused… Did you answer my question?

If you buy a derelict house(that no human can possibly live in) and fix it up to a decent standard with the intent to sell it, are you still a piece of shit?

Peace with no occupation would be ideal.

Security related issues should go through responsible disclosure and it’s up to the maintainer to provide such a process or the recently flurry of “opportunistic whitehats” will continue to spam your issues and require triaging…

Github provides a process for this under the “Security” tab: https://github.com/ether/etherpad-lite/security as an example…

I find that by having a documented process it filters out a decent amount of time wasters.

The old ‘let perfection be the enemy of good’ argument…

Surely this is a step in the right direction?

I guess you gotta celebrate the wins when you can no matter how messed up the situation is! :)

I know this isn’t the core of the story but I’m kinda proud of my country (The UK) for not fucking this up.

I think the UK Justice system did it’s job here, albeit keeping him detained for a lengthy duration to do it.

Do we all need a competitor to Alphabet/Google? I’d say yes, I don’t think Alphabet is behaving fairly.

Santander and Caixa are perfect examples of how to terribly handle fraudulent payment disputes. I worked in the industry is it’s kinda well known they don’t even follow scheme (Visa/MC) requirements and when you ask them to escalate to scheme they gaslight you.

Knowing this is the hoops you have to jump through in .es means it makes sense they don’t have a robust anti-fraud process outside of .es.

RE “next-gen” “every day” “everywhere car” I can’t comment because they don’t really make a quantifiable point.

RE Charging: In the UK we had charge at home infrasatructure w/ .gov compensation and charging points at businesses/supermarkets/petrol stations way before a specific branded Supercharger infrastructure started arriving.

RE “whole automation”: What do you mean? What point of Tesla is more automated than an Audi or BMW for a UK daily commute? Autopilot simply doesn’t work for the vast majority of UK commutes and has been shown to be a poorly operating application with a potential incoming ban.

I think it’s important not to rewrite history to fit a narrative.

I don’t have any data on sodium-ion.

I agree w/ the “best” argument but I don’t agree with the “first to market” argument… There were a notable amount of electric cars in the UK before Tesla became a thing. Perhaps things in .de are different…

I did notice in Berlin just a few weeks ago that you guys don’t really seem to be pushing for clean air zones in major cities unlike a lot of the UK which given your progressive population came as a surprise to me.

That’s how I play the game, you get on first name basis with people too that way…

They don’t “all” have to be connected, the vast majority of available global models aren’t (IE a lot of the affordable Indian/Chinese models).

The vast majority of models sold in the USA are IE Tesla. More affordable models like the Renault Zoe afaik aren’t but I’m not sure how accessible these are in the USA. I’m not sure about the Chevvy Volt tbh… Consumers can purchase to buy a non-connected vehicle.

Out of the EVs I have I mostly use the one that is connected so I can do automations to turn on climate control etc. Connectivity is a convenience/safety thing for me and I assume others…

I asked them to check it(the privacy URL) and validate it wasn’t user error and they accused me of “wasting their time”…

No need to apologize, I’m just trying to get clarity if I’m right to call them out or not…

I have one option at 30 euros (this) and another at 60 euros (movistar).

There are others but they have a terrible reputation.

Given that the privacy policy is linked from the contract, can I assume that they will just say “you need to refer to the URL in the contract” and as that URL is non-existent I’m basically not able to protect my rights or does it work the other way?

In the privacy policy it states “We may share information with our business partners to offer you certain products, services or promotions”, it doesn’t explicitly state who they are…

He was my local (Bradford) MP and he was absolutely useless. The main has a fragile ego and is totally dedicated to himself. He is an opportunist politician and Rochdale will suffer for it.

I’m sorry Rochdale, it’s going to be a rough few years…
