So find someone who shows proficiency in 5 other languages. Anyone who knows that many can easily learn 6 and 7. It's not spoon feeding, it's training.
As opposed to everyone going out and training themselves, thus guessing what is required, wouldn't it be a lot more efficient for a company to identify people capable of doing the job, then train them the extra 30% so that they can do the job?
Plus I should add that this whole conversation is really a moot point anyway. We were traveling with pets and there is no way there would have been room for all of us plus luggage in a Tesla S anyway.
It will be interesting to see how they do. There isn't a lot there. Even gas stations are very far apart. Not much civilization on the highway just small groups of buildings. A lot of independent electricity would need to be run. I'm guessing they'll expect people to use the American route to the south, which wouldn't have worked for me in this case.
But the thing is, driving for recreation is fine. I do it when on vacation, but the choice isn't always there. And if you want to check on things, check east-west Ontario routes north of the great lakes.
We recently made a 1900 mile trip. we HAD to drive at least 8 hours a day and it took five days as it was; although I would have loved for it to take less. Honestly, it was difficult enough to find a hotel at each stop. A couple times we came pretty close to not getting to a gas station in time. I can't imagine throwing planned EV stops into the mix. You sound like you don't really go on very long trips, or have a deadline to get there. That's great if that's the kind of trips you do but a lot of people need to get somewhere for a reason and not always get a lot of notice for it. Buying an EV would leave me unprepared for doing such a trip again, which is not a position I would like to be in. Different people have different circumstances I guess, but in this case I needed my vehicle when I got there and I couldn't imagine giving up the freedom of having the equipment to make such a trip work.
This sounds to be, as always, that it depends where you are. The problem is, the places where everyone is because of jobs are almost automatically the worst places to live; because society does not work well in high density places. People seem to be miserable and have lost all sensitivity to others in those places. Kudos to those who have found a place that allows them to live close to work in a reasonably prices house not sardine-canned in with others, yet still make a decent wage.
Well, I recently drove across western Canada, and there is very little around. It was 300km between gas stations, never mind EV charging stations. And this was in the summer through many seasonal areas, I can't imagine what it would be like in the winter.
When the heck do you start driving? If you start at 7am, three hours only gets you to 10am. You're ready for lunch already? Then you have to stop for at least 20 mins and you can only drive until 12? It's not really the stopping that I don't like. It's having such little choice about where and when you stop.
Or, you know, people just want their own vehicles to drive around in once they get there. Using a rental really sucks, because you have to baby it all the time lest you get charged for some sort of damage.
Wow, it must be a lot of fun driving across the country driving 2 hours at a time and having to wait 20 minutes between each leg. People with EVs are a tourist trap's dream. In doing the same with my ICE this summer I experienced half hour waits for gassing up; I wonder how that will pan out once more people have EVs.
I live somewhere where it is -13F most of the year. If I wanted to go outside to get pizza, I would have gone out to pick it up. This better come with some convincing discounts beyond the tip.
I find videos horribly inefficient at relaying information. Maybe it's because I'm a fast reader, or I can skim for certain words. Videos for the sake of entertainment, fine, but for the sake of learning unless it's something highly visual I would way rather read it. If I click on a news story and it's a video I exit out. Not worth my time to consume it.
If the police force has a budget to spend on technology, they have to spend it. Now. If they don't spend it, they lose it next year; so it doesn't really matter how short lived the program is to them. I don't understand it either, but that's how finances work in any large company.
I'm not sure what I can get here in Canada, but I have netflix and most of the shows I watch aren't on there. If a show is on there, they don't have the current season, so I would need to stop watching for a year and then continue.
I think a lot of people base their viewing on the service they have. I base my viewing on what I want to watch. I consider being forced into the former solution a pretty big step back in terms of service.
Also, the buttons that appear arent useful at all so far.
You mean like how you could just press volume up and down keys before, but now you need to look down, press the volume button to expose the slider, then slide your finger, then hide the slider? Now that's some value added!
The typos for me come from the fact that the keys are flat and not cupped. Cupped keys give you instant feedback when your hands are drifting from typing position.

Still, you can hire someone who you judge to be capable of doing the work and have them work with a person who is doing it until they 'get it'.
Sure, it's just that the magic hand tends to press people downward rather than lift them up.

Now now, let's not all panic. Perhaps Facebook intends to do only good things with all this information!

My kids have been using this for a couple years now, this is the first time I have seen mention of it online anywhere.

So in other words, they bundle fights like cable companies bundle packages to make you feel like you're getting a decent deal.

Makes sense. Large organizations don't want their employees to have control over their devices, and that comes built in with iPhone.

Yet Uber gets away with it, so why not Amazon?
