I wonder if this will happen in Europe first, since the connector is standardized with Tesla's. I also wonder how, in the US, they'll handle the fact that lots of EVs charge very slowly.

Why did the takedown notice have text in Arabic when Iranians speak Persian? This is what made me think it was fake, at first.

I just really doubt there's that many people out there who rolled the dice like that. First of all, landlords can report late to reporting agencies, which will make it difficult to get another apartment later and can impact the person's credit score. Secondly, there was never any guarantee that this would be the outcome -- it could have been something like having to pay back rent on a schedule. If you have the means to pay rent, why bother with the risk? It doesn't add up.

If your threat model includes state level actors, there is no commercially available solution that will make you 100% safe.

A vast majority of dog breeders aren’t doing it for service work. They do it for profit. This is cruel and unnecessary.

Of course breeding dogs for work makes sense, because those dogs are needed and, due to the price, the market helps ensure there are few abandoned.

Each year, approximately 1.5 million shelter animals are euthanized (670,000 dogs and 860,000 cats).

Breeding is cruel. Adopt.

This is the future of most nations. A notable exception being the US, which will not have a demographic inversion in the 21st century.

If you’re focusing on a person having access to your pulse data as the threat model, your thinking is out of date. The real play will be combining heart rate data with other signals like which Facebook page you’re viewing in order to inject ads. Basically, know when you’re most vulnerable to influence and catching you with a post that sends whatever message the highest bidder wants for you at that moment.

TL;DR It's not just about calories, it's about what the food makes you do later.

To the people whose lives are at stake, what difference does it make?
