The Jaguar redesign / rebrand has been a complete and utter disaster! A 97% drop in European sales. That’s not a misprint - 97%!!
No one would call the cybertruck a success either.
This design is a massive mistake for Ferrari. Looks at Porsche’s first electric, the Taycan. I can tell it’s a Porsche as soon as I see it. Look at Lamborghini- looks like a Lambo. Look at this car - looks like a Volkswagen. This is going to be a bomb.
Have you met kids? They’re devious, tech knowledgeable, and scheming and can find ways around any rule. Plus, no matter how good of a parent you are, you’re somewhat at the mercy of their friends’ parents as well. I can block TikTok from my daughter’s phone, but can’t block her from watching her friend’s phone while she’s out of the house.
Handy tip for software testing - Gmail ignores everything after a “+” in the address. So when you’re testing different accounts in your software you can use <youremail>+1@gmail.com, <youremail>+2@gmail.com, <youremail>+3@gmail.com etc. to create many different accounts in the software that all go to the same email address.
They don't generally cover normal vision needs. Your regular glasses and/or contacts aren't covered.
Eye injury or cancer, though? Usually covered. I honestly can't recall anyone getting denied for a possible scratch on the eye, either here in Norway or the US (Am from the US). Expenses for eye issues with MS or Diabetes? Usually covered. In these cases, you often go to a specialist MD instead of the normal eye doctor (if you see an MD at all). More is generally covered for eyes than teeth - if teeth were covered like eyes, it would be an improvement. A lot of acute care and infections and stuff would be covered.
As a glasses wearer, not covering glasses feels reasonable to me, although I can't quite put my finger on why.
I guess I see glasses at least partially as a fashion accessory--a necessary one for sure, but then so are shoes, and I don't expect those to be covered by insurance.
All the comments are missing the bigger picture with this new policy - Trump is sending a message the tech companies will need to pay up (to him) to get this policy to go away.
Tourism is one of the best “products” a country can produce. It’s almost all a service industry which doesn’t strain natural resources, doesn’t cause physical health issues for its employees, incentivizes a higher level of education, and brings in large amounts of foreign currencies, helping to stabilize their own currency. The positives FAR outweigh the negatives. Countries like Saudi Arabia have embraced tourism as a great way to diversify. A country like Thailand is able to “thrive” relative to its neighbors because it derives far more economic power from its tourist trade.(20% of GDP compared to Cambodia’s 9%, Malaysia’s 15% and Myanmar’s 3%)
whatever economic power it gets from tourism is used up on stuff like smartphones for the rich. Not food. Not resources. Their health clinic shelves were empty.
In effect, tourism just absorbs talented manpower. Thailand has a huge dearth of educated people doing world shattering stuff because so many went the tourist route. Sure it stops the other braindrain with ex-migration.
That’s absurd - the guy’s worth $130B, you think he cares about the not-even-pocket-change that would come from owning the land that a Twin Peaks is on?
Dell’s RTO is purely a silent downsizing.
