Yeah, it could be. But why would I want 5+ small 5 minute interruptions when I could have a single 20 minute interruption? Assuming all interruptions have a minimum of a 5+ minute context-switching time, the 20 minute meeting is 25 minutes whereas the 55 ends up being 510=50 minutes.

Does Economist have a history of having sponsored articles? Especially ones that are unmarked? If not, why does it "make you wonder"?

I just looked at Economist's landing page and less than 5% of it was centered around Ozempic and related drugs.

It seems to have been updated now. The landing page otherwise was dominated by the theme of their 26 Oct edition: https://www.economist.com/weeklyedition/2024-10-26

I'm not sure anyone does.

The article says that the information had yet to be verified.

How did the driver not step on the breaks or turn before they got that far down the tracks? I don't know how this could be possible if the driver was paying attention at all.

The obvious foil to the lithium industry is the fossil fuel industry. Lithium mining isn't inherently bad, it's only bad in the case where children are being forced to work in the mines. Fossil fuels is an inherent negative due to its outsized environmental impact.

You're throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

I had only used CarPlay once in a rental prior to buying my Tesla. I don't feel like the infotainment thing in my Y is missing anything, but I also don't really know what I am missing out on.

What about CarPlay/Android Auto are you concerned about losing? I'm not trying to convince you that you don't need it, I just honestly don't know what I'm missing.

Maps/directions are much better than Tesla's. You have voice interface. Music (Apple/Spotify/etc) is much nicer - though they do have Apple Music and Spotify apps, it's easier to just control through my phone.

Most people consider their phone their digital life, so having the car entertainment system get out of your way and just integrate the car with the phone seems more natural.

How about all the apps that work with CarPlay (and have worked for years) that don't exist in Tesla's ecosystem.

Seeing as I have not used CarPlay, I am not sure what those apps are :). Which ones are most useful to you?

each of us has apps we like and Tesla only supports a few apps. Ex. I use YouTube music but tesla only supports Spotify and Apple Music.

The 3 just got a refresh a few months ago.

I roughly agree with you in enjoying the table of contents.I wouldn't say I love the site though.

I find the blue-on-white text difficult to read. Though, surprisingly, it's a bit easier to read on mobile for me.

The line height is too short to read easily.

I have a lot of trouble with the "How and why EasyOS is different" page. Especially on mobile where it's nearly unreadable for me.

I don't understand this sentiment. I'm not attacking, I'm trying to understand.

So if there's opportunity for a feature that adds real value for many people to an application without it affecting the core of the product, it shouldn't be added? I can add passwords and unlock websites just as quickly with 1Password as I could 8 years ago. Why does adding other useful, related features make a difference?

Because they keep on changing the product at the same time. If they added value and left what worked still working, it'd be great. But they change things, and it's buggy, and the UX is worse, and I just want the nice productive utility I had a few years ago.

You say you can do things as fast as you could eight years ago -- but I can _not._

It’s based on experience that more features tend to break functionality, change user workflows and changes in product strategy, sometimes even companies get acquired or shut down things.

Of course, these things can happen to any product in theory, but with experience I’ve developed a bit of a radar for what kind of company is behind a product based on their design, website, marketing etc.

Like what? I’ve had the same experience with 2 pw managers for probably a decade, and the only noticeable change has been passkeys. Note that for me it’s personal use only though.
