Industry wide tax, even the mafia gave you a better vig.

>So putting your drivers license on your iPhone isn't some slippery slope.

Yes it is. And participating is accepting it.

Good. Send it in the mail. I don't want my inbox to require legal burden to read.

I'd skip the Gates foundation at any wealth level.

Cash has near zero resistance (USD at least). Good property for day to day IMO.

Our simulation is for testing brands. Can't reboot the whole thing because the cornucopia didn't make it through A/B testing.

Wow, that's a little tone deaf. I was hoping for a small iPhone, They're so big now we make dedicated bags... F

running a parallels windows install off one, no issues. macos does unmount if battery gets really low but not really an issue after reboot or replug.

What's the VPS for? Just for a IP that's not your own personal one?

The challenge of moderation is a can of worms.

I've thought long and hard about how a new comer could get around the issues but never came up with anything rock solid. SMS / Email is maximum sign up resistance but could help. Also being able to browse before making an account is key for new users but then you're open to bots.

Anyone got some good idears?

That’s pretty cool, but it took me quite a while on my phone to figure out what I need. Been doing e-bikes since 2007. Also, the little plus next to the shop was confusing to somebody that had a beer. I think your product is hot, thanks for making something that the world needs.

I tried Gnome 5 years ago and all we could do is point and laugh at it. I tried it recently with a new framework laptop "official support" and all, still a horrible OOBE and I don't feel like I can trust them.

The perfect car to experience car perfection IMO but yes, it's probably going to be a second car 90% of the time.

I like the obvious porsche 356 inspiration on this car. If the truck actually hit the 50K launch price, id also love to have one in the collection. But hey, make life easy by putting people into "buckets" so you feel like you have a grasp.

Crazy, I just checked the full pinout on the bottom connectors: no USB D+ / D- pins at all. Mostly more MCU and MPU breakouts for 3 cameras...
