given there are likely no enforceable deadlines or penalties associated with the plan
You are writing from an American perspective. There is a plan in place. The deadlines and penalties will be decided when people don't meet the plan, and they will be severe or will require a lot of bribing otherwise.
China is nothing if not good on following through with their promises, and this is directly in line with the strategy that they are already adopting to become the dominant EV producer and market in the world.
Volkswagen AG is also known as the Volkswagon Group. They comprise of many "companies" which you may know including: Audi, Bentley, Bugatti, Lamborghini, Porsche, SEAT, koda and of course Volkswagen branded cars themselves.
There are per country differences between cars as well as country specific models too. I actually thought it may be possible to get to 300 without seeing the list of other brandnames, but this is not surprising at all.
If you can't get a new cert in 30-45 days you don't really give a shit and your website shouldn't be trusted.
You're talking from the perspective of a company where the website is an active and maintained part of their strategy. There are many for which a website is nothing more than a tool, many small shops with small online shopping carts, completely 3rd party outsourced IT where this will do no more than cause them additional expense assuming they are aware of the issue at all before the entire site goes down the red warning hole.
It takes me 5 minutes just to get back "into" my job after getting up for another coffee.
That may be specific to your style. I often think best when moving so when solving some complex problem I go and get coffee, or go to the bathroom and think about it while on the way.
The trick is not getting distracted by conversation.
I am reminded of the Tautology club, where the first rule of the tautology club was the first rule of the tautology club.
Not quite. A sedentary life style isn't defined as having to sit perfectly still. You can still be sedentary while doing a small amount of movement every half an hour. The key here is that little bit helps.
Yeah that's why all it's competitors had such a roaring success even with one company putting $5.5 billion into attempting to replace them.
with low barriers to entry
Yeah all you need to do is start and internet and mobile phone company with complete vertical integration and 100s of millions of customers world wide all promoting your search function over the competitors. Eeeeeeeeeaasy.
Houston is a city that has grown without planning, without human reason.
To be fair to Houston, and while I'm sure it is pretty bad, I don't think you'll find any large or even small city in the world which took "get entire population to go somewhere else on the same day" into account when they designed the transport system.
Most cities can't handle workers going home in the afternoon. "Well planned" cities only just scrape past this barrier.
So instead of every https-page I visit coming up with red URI bar and "this connection is not secure" warning, I will get a red URI-bar on every https-page I visit and "these connections are not secure" warnings?
No you get a full page alert that something is messing with your system.
Chrome is trying to find a way to make red alert redder?
No. There's a difference between getting an alert about a security event and getting an alert about systemic problems on your connection. And that's kind of the point.
First of all, a lot of people may be caught with their EV on 50%
A lot of people may have no gas either, what's your point?
It takes a fairly apocalyptic event to not be able to find gas.
Yeah like a natural disaster. Sorry but gas stations stock out all the time, and actually did in the hurricane affected areas. Even some of the ones caught price gouging ended up stocked out. An "apocalyptic" event these days is someone stubbing their toe causing wide spread panic for nothing. Resources (food, water, gas, etc) have stocked out of many places for a lot less.
There was third-party downloadable firmware which would unlock some features which Canon artificially restricted to their more expensive cameras.
They did no such thing. The third party firmware merely incorporated features in software which weren't part of Canon's firmware.
In other news it's a dick move that Windows 10 Home can't act as a domain controller. Or that my GoPro doesn't produce raw video files.
Not providing the best possible firmware with all the features of your top device for your bottom device is not a "dick" move. It's the basic economics that makes your cheap device cheap. Sure you could provide an all singing all dancing firmware but then without performance differentiation the only result is that cheaper products will start being priced up with their more expensive competitors.
On the other hand, if you have to flee an emergency that isn't quite so highly publicized, anyone with an EV will be on their own.
As opposed to? Are you under the impression that people are easily able to get fuel right now? What I get out of this is that EV's are upgradable without having to carry a jerrycan around in case of emergency.
People have different views on the morality of this.
No, people have a short sighted view on the morality of this. The end users are getting the exact product advertised at the price and performance which is advertised. Saying this is immoral because the product is capable of more basically makes every product in the world "immoral".
Or would it be more moral to physically sell a different battery pack, driving up the cost of production in general due to messing with the economies of scale and then forcing end users to go through hardware modifications in order to get extra possible performance out of their car?
You car is carrying battery weight it does not need and cannot use
So? Was that not known about up front? What will the Americans do when they realise that Chinese drivers end up on average with lower weight in their cars? Plus you're missing the benefit a gentler charging cycle provides on battery life.
you will wake up at some point to realize how your being screwed there
By getting exactly the product that was advertised with the specs advertised and at the price advertised? Also having a battery last longer as a result of low cycling ranges, and the ability to upgrade a product without having to take it to the garage to modify?
Oh wows me. How horrible!
Your bar for getting screwed is quite interesting here. I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
You suspect wrong. Telsa's 0-100% ratings already keep the batteries in ideal conditions, at least for the low end.
What is being talked about here is literally a software unlock for more range built into the cost of a product. You can buy a Telsa with a 60kWh rating, and you can buy one with a 75kWh rating for a few thousand dollars more. They are identical. You can also pay those few thousand dollars more (+ a penalty) to upgrade your 60kWh Tesla to a 75kWh model, all without leaving your home.
It is a practice to improve economies of scale used across different industries. Artificial limitations optimise cost for end users by reducing development costs, offering upgrade paths, and providing economies of scale.
No. Even in an urban setting the buses will need to travel a non-trivial distance, at speeds that keep up with traffic (perhaps not highway speed but 35 to 45 mph would not be unheard of), carrying a non-trivial number of people, and do this many times per day, for many days in a row, and do so with a cost the same or lower than current buses. This is not a trivial problem to solve, technologically (yet) or economically (yet).
Given all electric buses and taxis exist and are in use, and you just moved the goalposts away from a simplified ideal scenario to incorporate yet more stuff not relevant to a conversation, I suggest instead of writing length posts which cause people to tune out after the first 3 incorrect statements, take a debating class.
First and foremost what he did is illegal under UK law
Which is the first step of all extradition proceedings. It's basically impossible to get someone arrested and extradited from a country where a practice is legal.
should be answerable for that in the UK. Secondly there was no physical attack he merely persuaded some computers to send information the US did not want sent.
But you contradict thyself. Was it illegal in the UK or not, was the target the US or not? If the target was not someone in the US then what is he being charged for in the UK? The location of the victims of a crime basically forms the foundation of why extradition exists. This isn't some special case because "computer".
but as it stands in Bitcoin, its own popularity means that the true cost of the transactions (which will eventually start to be paid when the hobbyists funding it from their own pockets, or illicit sources of free electricity, run out) is ridiculously high.
So blockchains haven't even managed to properly deal with the original problem for which they were developed.
That Chrome will treat multiple successive errors differently than simple trust chain issues. It's the difference between "This server is misconfigured" and "every server you attempt to access appears to be misconfigured, maybe someone is messing with your connection".
Anyone in IT would have recognised the problem anyway. Average dumb users are less likely to.

I hit a nerve. I am a scientist. I live in academia. I am sick of people like you thinking you know what my life's work is and is not.
Actually what you are is an anonymous coward unable to provide any proper feedback. Unlike say....
The paper isn't peer reviewed.
The Journal of Personality and Social Psychology which is going through the peer review process right now.
There's a lot of junk science out there. I'm going to assume that you're part of it.
Please, someone, verify the math... how did Bitcoin lost more than $1000 and still be above $4000 when the all time high was $5000.
By asking that question you have shown you clearly don't have what it takes to be an investment banker.

That's not a fair comparison. Hammers are useful at hammering nails.
So far Blockchains haven't proven themselves useful at anything. Certainly not at running a virtual currency.
Sure if you assume a perfect attacker. But most are not.
Why would it? The chain of trust isn't broken by logging into your Google account.
By comparing an MITM to Google's collection it shows you're either trolling, or completely incapable of understanding differences in trust.
*messing with you, damn autocorrect.
