The *concept* sounds interesting (allowing 3rd parties to no longer have to have their own background updater running in the background could be a net positive). I want to know more about the details.

Yeah, I'd hate to miss out on my malware updates.

At least for me there are other factors too.
I skimmed the paper and didn't see what questions they wanted to ask in the survey. For only $5 or the 1 in 20 chance of $100 I'd want to know what the questions are up front and what they will do with the answers and if they collect any personally identifiable information.

Advertisers will love this. I suspect the QR codes won't just have the information proposed in this article but embedded links that you'll have to follow to get the information you are looking for. Along with that you'll get advertisements and tracking cookies.

I was a child prodigy who skipped a grade, not dissimilar to Sheldon Cooper, except I was better socialized, and excelled at athletics and was a leader in the Boy Scouts.

I had a real problem getting to sleep at night and waking up in the morning. I would read in bed until late at night and be late in the morning.

At some point in my early 20's I experienced a period of unemployment, and at my doctors advice I started tracking my sleep. We determined that I had a 27 hour biological clock. He said it was unusual, but happened to some people, mostly young men, and that I would grow out of it as I got older. Which didn't really happen, but kind of happened. I have a 24 hour clock but I only sleep 6 hours a night, sometimes less.

This is only because Google Play does not exist in China, and there is no authentic Microsoft Authenticator app for Android.

In the US maybe. In Greece 40 hours plus a very small amount of overtime is allowed. (150 hours a year of overtime (+2.6 hours a week on average)) is the absolute max allowed by law.

Yeah, its pretty impossible to promise that prices will never go up. Inflation happens.

That said, their guarantee to pay your last month is nice, but their advertising certainly didn't make clear what they were promising.

The categories of data that would be impacted by APRA include certain categories of "information that identifies or is linked or reasonably linkable to an individual or device,"

If simple 'anonymization' of the data can avoid these restrictions it won't really help much as cross-comparing with other databases can often allow the data to be de-anonymized.

It's not really an attack vector without first bypassing Apple's cryptographic signature verification mechanisms.

This works until someone discovers a bug in the implementation.

As others said, it depends on if you have home charging or not.
If you can charge at home, EVs are great for commuting, it does require some additional planning for long trips, but it's getting much better.
Also cost to charge at home is 1/3rd or less than cost for gas. Cost to supercharge is often very similar to the cost for gas, sometime even more than gas.

Rentals are generally for people away from home, so EVs for the rental market mostly doesn't make sense right now.

Driving a rental EV right now as main EV is in the body shop. coincidentally. But I'm not away from home.

No. I do not. The polar deserts are becoming valuable real estate. I don't need to persuade anyone of anything. I need to secure property rights, build fences and buy guns to protect my claim from those who clued in late. I'm really just making conversation.

You are creating poverty for no good reason.
