Starting price is the same with less equipment. If you start putting the same things the new "cheap" Model Y has already by default, ID4 goes ~5k more expensive (and with less WLTP and I didn't check the charging curve)

They did. This can be done online since August 2022.

Interesting, thanks! Apparently it requires a German eID-enabled ID card (or compatible EU ID) and doesn't include transactions involving real estate, but still it's progress.

The German eID system had a bad start but it works fine now.

This is possibly the greatest bullshit I've read today. Greetings from Germany!

You should bear in mind that thinking of an IT specialist or a software developer is very much uncommon among population. As developers we tend to think alike worldwide. But walk out the door and ask ten (older) German people whether they would prefer to use government email-like service instead of paper mails, and see what answer comes to the top.

Read so far*

You haven't read all the 280 comments in this submission yet ;)

Not sure it's worth the time. ;-)

Besides all the daily stuff that happens with the current US government, I'm _really_ excited (not in the best way) to see how the citizens of the USA, Europe and the whole world will deal with the aftermaths of the current government.

Strange times to live in.

> how one dude is trying a year living together with his ex again

Get us in, how is it going so far? :-D

I’ll update you as soon as I find out! He JUST signed the lease. Haha

The exact thing happened to us, too. Bought a font from a small foundry which then got acquired by Monotype two years down the road.

They started questioning us and assumed we had pirated the font. Send them the old receipt and told them politely to fuck off.

Never heard of them again luckily.

Is there any legal obligation to send them the old receipt? I’d be tempted to just let them waste their time on it more.

Not sure, probably depends on how resilient your company and staff is. :-D

Marketing got very nervous though and wouldn't calm down, so I sent the receipt.

First place I worked at where we got audited, Monotype presented us with a bill in the high six figures. It came as a surprise as the entire product and tech team had turned over at least three times since it was set up and no-one knew anything about it.

It turned out we had got licences, but not for anywhere near the billions of pageviews we were putting through.

We quickly switched the fonts to open source analogues and got the legal team involved. The final bill was much less than their opening bid but still a lot. It would have been much more expensive if we hadn’t had the resources to negotiate.

My uncle got a Hilux for his gardening business. Seems to work well for driving around lawnmowers and other stuff, also for towing the large self-driving lawnmovers and other heavy equipment.

Maybe it's because I'm not a native speaker but that headline is terrible to read and process. Is it "good" English to write it that way? It's possibly the shortest way, yes, but that's everything I'd give to it. :-D

It's not "good" English, but certainly the usual "newspaper headlines" style. You have to get used to it.

Hah yeah, I'd never really thought about it, but newspaper headlines must be a late-game boss for non-native speakers, they are super convoluted

Sure, it's not incredible, and it's biased to a headline style formatting, but I think the biggest factor is the HN submission character limit

That's what I thought at first, too, but that is the actual original and full headline. So either Bloomberg has HN in mind or that's just their style... :-D

> It's getting dangerous out there.

You're all driving on the wrong side of the road, what are you even talking about? /s

If only we knew!

The real reason we drive on the left is so that our driver's windows meet in the middle and we can use our right hand to do sword battles and jousting with oncoming vehicles.

Needs a (2023) addition in the title

make it 2021 actually. After these years, was this fixed?

It was fixed for me on Chrome.
