<p>The Cayenne seems to need about 315Wh / mile.   I assume a substantial number of them are sold in California, where rates are often above $0.50/kw.   I think $1.50 would get you about 9 miles.<p>I drive a more efficient PHEV and spend much more than $1.50/day.</p>

<p>Hah, happened to see this mentioned in another comment today.  It was FreshPaint, whose website includes this gem:<p>"You need to install ad trackers on your website to get the most out of ad platforms like Facebook and Google Ads. Ad trackers can create issues for healthcare marketers by sending visitor identifiers and health information to platforms that aren't HIPAA-compliant."<p>I'm sure they are good folks, but what an absurd premise.  Something about the best minds of our generation selling ads....<p>Source: <a href="https://www.freshpaint.io/hipaa-compliant-advertising">https://www.freshpaint.io/hipaa-compliant-advertising</a></p>

<p>> What is your opinion?<p>My opinion?  Read less financial "news".  Focus on what you can control and don't try to time the market.  Build an emergency fund if you don't have one, then invest in broad market funds and focus on earning money.<p>If you knew for certain there was a crash coming, you would still have to time the market a second time to get back in before the recovery, which will also come.</p>

<p>Adding to the chorus.  I used LastPass until 2018.  I received a similar email from LastPass (and had forgotten that I never got around to actually deleting the account after I migrated).<p>My master password was a long multi word phrase with numbers and special characters, and was not used for anything except LastPass.  I find their claims of credential stuffing suspect.<p>Edit -- Also had MFA enabled and received the email in November.</p>

<p>As long as we're giving personal anecdotes, I lived in the mission (the "good side" near dolores park) for 8 years and experienced most of that list.  I was physically assaulted last fall while walking back from Noe Valley at 2pm in the afternoon.  Nobody answered the police non emergency number while I followed the assailant (who threw a right hook that I only partially dodged as he walked past me on the street).<p>Sure, you get better at dodging feces and ignoring the drug use, littering, and theft, but let's not pretend it's confined to "downtown, the tenderloin, soma, etc".<p>I've lived and worked in Manhattan and DC, and spent time in many international cities.  I've walked all over all of them, and never felt less safe than I regularly did walking to work in soma.<p>SF has a unique political situation, a climate that makes homelessness "bearable" and a huge number of absentee landlords (thanks, Prop 13).<p>We were sad to move out in January.  SF is a gorgeous city filled with kind, interesting people.  "Horrible dystopia" is certainly an exaggeration, but the situation is bad and has gotten much worse in the past few years.</p>

<p>Agreed and clearly we start infringing on pretty basic american rights if we wait until summer to stop convening jury's.<p>That said, reasonable people are avoiding being in closer quarters with sub-1000 people, and it seems like some assurance besides "call if you're so symptomatic you should see a doctor" might be prudent until a little more is known about the virus.<p>Maybe I'm just salty that I have jury duty this week (:</p>

<p>Fidelity also offers this in a "Cash Management Account" which you can tie to a brokerage account.  It's possible to maintain a $0 balance in the cash account and use margin or some funds (generally money market) to cover each debit.  Works great.  I wouldn't be interested in a system that automatically sold equities from a taxable account; too volatile and too likely to cause a tax nightmare.</p>

<p>Another counter-point.  I and everyone I've talked to love the idea.  I mostly commute by my own bike, and generally prefer walking for most errands or short trips.  The scooters are an easy (and fun!) way to make short trips more practical especially when I don't want to deal with trying to secure a bike in SF.<p>Of course there are serious issues to be worked out and there will be growing pains.  I'm particularly concerned about the number of riders (scooters and e-bikes alike) without helmets, as well as the influx of people who are finally realizing that they don't have to take a car everywhere they want to go learning to navigate a crowded urban area (and a bike lane/sidewalk!) for the first time.</p>

<p>I had a similar experience as a kid.  We had a second phone line as my parents were both occasionally on call.  Because they were just on call and the phone company charged extra, we didn't have the 'tone dialing' feature on the line.  When they weren't on call, I was able to use that line for BBS's and Compuserve.<p>It turns out that at least for US-Robotics pulse dialing is not an exact science.  The BBS I used most frequently was often busy so I would turn the modem volume down and just wait for it to eventually connect.<p>One day my parents got a call from the police who had gotten complaints of persistent prank phone calls late at night.  I realized the problem and that I had to admit to staying up way past my bedtime online, I don't recall what the police threatened but I was definitely scared.  I gave them a list of the top few BBS #s I called, and one of them was one digit off.<p>I got off pretty easy, I think I just paid for 'tone dialing' on that line going forward.</p>

<p>I can't believe this book wasn't mentioned earlier in the thread!  I finished it last month and won't spoil anything, but the author ends up with a pretty good theory.  The book goes into great detail about the investigation and examines and discards plenty of possible explanations (including every "Well of course it must have been..." suggested here so far!)<p>It's also an interesting look at young people in the Soviet Union at that time.</p>
