select distinct from billionaires where source_of_wealth not in (‘inheritance’, ‘exploitation’, ‘regulatory arbitrage’) gives you an empty table, that’s why :p

So Ford+ is about charging you $14.95 a month for things you used to get for free? :p Or would it be more about actually cutting out the middleman for a subscription model?

The only way that subscriptions are okay is when the functionality actually requires ongoing maintenance, say, for advanced cruise mapping. Everything else, yeah, no.

The problem with PHEVs is that unless you explicitly incentivize plugging in as much as possible, no one will do it because it’s not necessary.

I’ll take a screw cover over a clip any day of the week. Normies have decided that rusty exposed fasteners are bad, and bean counters have decided that they can 1) pay for higher grade fasteners that do the job AND look good AND won’t rust during the warranty period, 2) hide the screw heads with a plastic cover, or 3)…

Nice MB-Tex suit? Vegan Leather?

So that means most normies are going to get streaming/app-based unlicensed cabs/car rentals because ownership is so 1990, some normies might buy music on AAC/FLAC/ own an EV, and only serious nerds who prefer analog will own vinyl/ICE.

The first manufacturer to launch a full-size mass market electric CUV in the USA will clean Tesla’s clock. I’ve also done the same all-electric test drive thing, and as much as we all like to rag on others for Americans driving hilariously large cars, those compact electric CUVs are just slightly too small for 5…

I’m not happy with the band selection for the newer Fitbits. A blaze with a stainless steel multilink band looks almost like a regular watch.
