And looking at her activity on X and LinkedIn doesn’t seem to mention anything about the selfie.

It seems very far fetched.

Except that you choose the MCP servers you use and you get to see the answers they give.

To me, it mitigates the problem slightly by making it less hidden.

Assuming it works and has enough stalls. My experience with Ionity has been pretty bad so I’m just sticking with the Tesla Superchargers when I’m driving in a foreign country.

Your own link says that Walter Isaacson retracted the claim.

There is no state intervention. Depending on market conditions, a 30 years fixed can have a higher rate than 25 years.

It’s basically hedged with long term bonds (Belgian or European) + a profit margin for the bank + risk based on your profile (age, health, employment history, …)

I guess UK banks are just hedging with shorter term bonds compared to Belgian ones.

We also have 20 to 30 years fixed rates in Belgium. It seems to be possible in France, Germany, The Netherlands, …

So I’m not sure that the US is actually an exception.

With your system, if I live somewhere flat and I go to the mountains, I will be out of juice during the climb. Tesla has a battery indicator in percentage and the navigation which is pretty accurate. Your ICE car has a gauge for the tank and an estimation of range.

Tesla should probably not allow you to show the battery as range as it will always be inaccurate and people will complain. But if they only show percentages, people complain as well.

The team behind Cowboy also has a history of going bankrupt and not doing the right thing. Their previous venture was a Uber Eats competitor and they took the end user’s money until the end but never paid the restaurants nor the deliverers. That’s the main reason why I can’t get myself to buy one their bike. But it seems Van Moof wasn’t any better.

I think it will mostly depend on the FAA. It seems SpaceX is still hoping another launch in the coming months.

He specifically said Google Workspace which is the non-free version of the Google suite.

Not exactly what you need but I think it may be close.

I’m running a SaaS turning affiliate platform content into an API which can be looked up by EAN13 : https://datafeedapi.com

Current users are publishers wanting to display affiliate links on their website but I could probably repurpose it for a more generic product search API without the affiliate links and different pricing. If anyone is interested, you can reach me at patrick_[at]_datafeedapi.com

Doc is here : https://datafeedapi.com/api/v1/redoc/

Indeed, my understanding was incorrect. Thanks for pointing it out

Funded != funding

You may have funded the account last year and did nothing with it. My understanding is you would still count as an MAU even if you didn’t interact with RH.

There are multiple tiers to Starlink (residential, RV, boat, plane, …). I don’t think Ukraine gets the most basic plan with limited bandwidth and meant for stationary dishes.

If I understood correctly some are used as a backbone for their internet infrastructure and some on the field on moving vehicles. The $110 plan wouldn’t cover those use cases.

> or have a Funded Account to be included in MAU

If you have a balance of $1, wouldn’t you be counted as an active user ?

It sounds to me that an active user is someone with funds or that interacted with the app/website while logged in. I’m not sure the second category made much sense to begin with (unless you wanted to inflate the numbers during a bull run)
