I had a mortgage from Wells Fargo in 2012, and I do recall once the loan was setup I noticed a checking account was also set up for me when I logged in.

I just wish Google could settle on one single app for the end users. The back-end, which is opaque to normal users anyway, shouldn’t matter. What matters are:

Kind of related: I had an auto 335xi during a period when I was lazy and didn’t want to row. The car would seem to always start in 2nd gear. Only when I step on the gas pedal to the end and feel this button/click on the floor will the car be in 1st gear.

So if I were the head of marketing, I’d just lob that 20% capacity off the spec sheet and call it 80KW (instead of 100KW) battery pack, and say it’ll fully charge in less than X minutes. Problem solved.

So, this will impact far more whites than blacks, and most of those whites impacted are his voters.

If you’ve been to China, you know this is a rather normal occurrence. While living in China on assignment, I’ve often witnessed things like this, or driving the wrong way, or seeing a car coming towards you on a highway off-ramp, and a thousand other things that would cause me to road rage. Speed limits and signs are…

And we deny export or expatriation of technology to other countries that we deem national security sensitive. We also force (foreign or domestic) companies to sell off pieces if the FTC feels they’re violating the Sherman Act. So it’s OK when we do it, but not them?
