There's also that cultural shift that resulted in people's Teslas getting burned or vandalized. I would imagine that some many would-be Tesla buyers changed their minds because they wouldn't want their new car to get attacked.

So with the tax rebate ending and the Tesla destruction, I'm oddly kinda optimistic about that 6%. It's still progress

Didn't the EV tax credits go away? I haven't been following very closely.

If so, then isn't 6% growth still kinda good? At least it didn't shrink within the first year of the "price hike", right?

I'm so curious: Before others replied, which continent did you think Norway was in?

To me, that just looks like "move fast and break things" taken to an extreme level. Quantity ≠ quality. Honestly, I think it kinda makes the other companies look better, in terms of software quality.

(I'm going solely by the chart though; I have not installed any of these apps)

Yeah but that's a porn site, not Discord, Reddit, Instagram, X, etc. A porn site is at least understandable. I mean, people have had to show ID to buy physical porn for years, so it's at least not a new concept. (I would never upload my PII in exchange for porn, but I can at least understand the logic.)

Ah, that sounds really nice.

My job at the time just requested that we work from home whenever possible, so I didn't gain much extra free time (aside from transit time saved, which I won't complain about 🙂)

Ah that makes sense. Personally, I tend to avoid urban areas if possible. Too much air pollution, noise pollution, light pollution, people... Maybe it's a sensory thing. I could see how it's much easier to build a public transit system when everyone's so close together though

Every one of them? Very interesting. I'd be curious to know why non-white conservatives are white supremacists.

Honestly, it's just so convenient to be able to get in the car and go (unless the destination's parking situation is really bad).

Americans value convenience quite a lot. We even trade our personal data for it.

I kinda wish the big companies would do the same and just block the states that pass these laws. Like, the state just loses access to a big chunk of the internet as soon as the bill passes, prompting an uproar and a learning opportunity for those lawmakers.

Obviously that's probably unrealistic, but I can dream 🙂

By verifying that they're correct...? 🤔
