Used cars will always be an option, and there will be a time when the standard used car on the market is an EV.
> I thought the goal of a pension fund is to ensure that people have pensions?
Yes, through an investment portfolio, and this article states that the 4 pension funds in question have a combined $300 million in shares invested in Toyota.
The article says:
‘Toyota is jeopardising its valuable brand by lobbying against much-needed climate related regulation of the auto industry,” said Anders Schelde, AkademikerPension’s chief investment officer last week. “What is the science based argument for their position, which is what we expect from companies if they are going against most expert views on the role of battery electric vehicles and the required timeline for phaseout of fossil fuel cars.’
> If it was a jet plane, the ending might have been quite different.
I disagree. Jets are basically giant computers usually with far more capable autopilot and often even auto-landing capabilities. I imagine it would be far easier to talk a non-experienced pilot down in a jet by telling them what knobs to turn and switches to flip without them even needing to ever touch the yoke.
People often dream of being digital nomads. If Airbnb can convince the world to embrace remote work, how many millions (or hundreds of thousands) will work from Airbnb rentals? I agree with the CEO, but not having the world fixed to an office directly and positively affects Airbnb's business.
This carries as much weight for me as the Zoom CEO blogging about how everyone should WFH.
Ridiculous is thinking servers shouldn’t have to pay taxes like the rest of us. They already under report their tips/income anyway. I have no sympathy or desire to further help more people evade taxes. You’re suggesting that servers should only pay taxes on $2.15/hr even if they make $60k+ in tips?
Wish I could only pay taxes on 2.15/hr of my income.
I have on a parking meter. I scanned the app clip QR-like code and a lite version of the parking app popped up for me to pay. Felt incredibly native and more trustworthy than a QR code taking me to a site.
I didn’t read “made up” to mean faked until your comment. I can see how someone who’s mother tongue isn’t English can easily interpret that way, but I’d be shocked if native English speakers mixed this up. “Made up” is almost always synonymous with “comprised of” when referring to fractions or percentages.
“Thousands of dollars and would have taken a few minutes” 1.) The hundreds of other people buying laptops that day are also spending thousands of dollars.
2.) It doesn’t take “a few minutes” when there are 15 employees to help hundreds of people.
Order online or make an appointment like everyone else. What makes your $1500 more important than the hundreds of other people patiently waiting to spend $1500?
Given that EAS has an incredibly specific tone (that is illegal to broadcast) it shouldn't be hard for Vizio to just detect the EAS tone. I don't get why everyone is pretending like Vizio can't account for a very simple and common edge case in broadcasting.
Why would the author keep wasting their time applying to jobs in different cities with no indication of remote work in the req if relocating is a deal breaker? Why would you drag it out all the way to the offer stage without knowing basic expectations of accepting the job?
I’m legitimately baffled.
I can’t speak for other states but my state does not allow gas stations to serve alcohol. Maybe beer at most, but that is tightly controlled and regulated via licenses, inspections, and tons regulations and liability on the licensee.
CashApp Tax is Credit Karma Tax that was bought by Square. Everything transferred from previous years and Square/Block Inc is publicly traded corporation with a ~$85 billion market cap so I’m not sure what you mean by “whichever way the startup winds blow.”
Furthermore — it’s your tax records. As soon as the government receives them they enter the permanent records of surveillance valley.
