Even worse - if you pay for the subscription and then later sell the car, you don't get anything back and the next owner doesn't get the feature unless they pay as well.

If you pay to have it permanently, you can probably recoup some of the cost when you sell. (Unless Mercedes does something so that the feature is gone once you sell, which I wouldn't put past them)

Since making that, Tom Scott has done sponsorships for NordVPN (but has always avoided the exaggerated claims from what I've seen).

Not laid off, but I have noticed that the volume of emails I get from recruiters dried up in December and January.

This gets even trickier for HR employees themselves - their job is to look out for the company, while at the same time they're an employee of the company who needs to look out for their own personal interests.

I think it's useful in the context of the original article, which is about it being okay to disagree about cooking methods.

What if an American is traveling in Europe and makes a post? Or a European is in America? What if they actually moved and aren't just traveling?

They could do that but you deeplink back into the Netflix app to actually watch to solve the DRM issue. Which I think shows that it's about more than just DRM. They want to control the experience.

I've thought about making several accounts, and watching different kinds of content on different accounts, so that each would have recommendations for whatever topic I'm in the mood for at that time.

Of course, that'd be a pain to manage, so I haven't gotten around to it.

I'd say at least, if you think you want to buy something, at least wait 24 hours and see if you still want it.

Shouldn't be too hard. Collect email when they register, give them a free trial, email them instructions to purchase through your website.

Seems like a pretty bad proposition. Take all the legal risk for only 40% of the profit.

Wouldn't the control group have the same level of inflammation in that case?

There's an extension called SponsorBlock that does exactly that. It uses user-submitted timestamps.

Phoenix is an American Airlines hub.

Poorly. I read a bunch growing up, but as an adult I've found I've lost the attention span for longer books. Which is a shame.

Do they offer a higher trade-in value if you've purchased an extra like FSD?

Interesting. Seems fairly comparable to the Sonoff Basic (also ESP8266, retails around $5), but more DIY friendly.

Are you planning to sell a case to go with it?

I wish those holes for refrigerant lines in apartments were standard in the US. My apartment in the bay area has no AC and furthermore doesn't allow window units, so I'm stuck with inefficient portable units. I'd love to be able to just put some mini-splits in (and I'd probably still come out ahead over renting a place that comes with central AC).

That's done with a credit card updating service - not by just ignoring the CVV/expiration.

If the same number were reassigned to someone else, the subscription wouldn't transfer.

Oh I'm sure. We wanted to be able to automatically cancel your Apple subscription if you upgrade on Android or Web, but we can't. We do this for Android where we can programmatically cancel.

That's a plus, but the developer should also be able to offer the option in-app, which they can't.

If I may add to this:

* Apple's payments API is very difficult to work with, especially compared to something like Stripe.

* Developers cannot disable their customers' subscriptions, or offer refunds. This has to be done through Apple. The leads to a poor customer service experience.

* If the customer uses their subscription through your website or moves to Android, they're still locked into the iOS subscription - making it impossible for them to upgrade/downgrade their plan.

* Customer's subscription is tied to their iTunes account. This leads to confusion if they sign into your app while signed into a different iTunes account.

I could go on. But having implemented Apple's subscription API, the frustration goes way beyond just the 30% fee (which is really my company's problem, not mine).

Latency is probably the bigger issue for aircraft, but Starlink could help there as well.

366 (days in a leap year) + 31 (longest month) = 397. So it's exactly one more than that.

You can also contact the company directly and ask to be removed from their list.

What about selection bias? I'd think that people are more likely to use a thermometer even if they don't feel like they have a fever now than they would have previously. That could account for numbers going down.

I'd think you should be able to do that and put whatever is leftover in an HSA.

Aww, was hoping there'd be an old-school text adventure here!

Paying people would just incentivize them to message people that they have no interest in dating anyways.
