Great team player and leader, active communicator, dedicated and self driving. Can approach business problems from many angles to figure out the best software solution, delivering it on time and have a solid plan on how those specific objectives integrate with larger company needs.
I don't think there are any Mortgage Collectors that do not allow you to send a physical check that needs to be processed. Of course they'll encourage you to set up AutoPay, bank transfers, etc, since it makes their job easier with no benefit to you (same can be said about "paperless").
Paperless and autopay online is absolutely a benefit to me, I have all of my records in a folder in my email and never forget a payment or make it late.
Does anyone know if any bodies are trying to define an open standard? I wonder if the money they're spending fighting this would be better spent developing this standard.

My problem with apple news is that it still doesn't really resolve the gamified nature of news and the misaligned incentives between a concise but high quality and information dense content that the user wants and the click-bait, flame bait, low density, attention stealing articles news companies are incentive to write when their compensation is proportional to impressions and time engagement irrespective of the quality of that interaction.
I want to be able to have a non trivial level of discretion as to which writers/groups to starve and which to support. For example, being able to pick a handful of sites or articles where my subscription/views/view-time don't count towards their bottom line. Or we could set aside 30-40% of subscription cost to distribute based on the the proportion of some active user action for like Medium's claps or some other rating.
At present the economist/ft are the only publications that haven't let me down in a big way and I'm weary of supporting anything else.
Does the 7 day return policy not alleviate those fears?
Or do you look at it from a perspective, I want a new car, have $40k to spend, let me test all the options, and being all-electric isn't a binary choice?
I think of it in 2 ways:
1) You have budget for a new car, shopping in the segment covered by Tesla offerings. You care not for its drive train and evaluating it purely on the car likeness. You go to different dealerships and educate yourself on different car features (as opposed to online) and test drive while you're there. Tesla not having retail presence hurts, for sure.
2) You do your research online, watching reviews on youtube, reading reviews in CR, etc. You are pretty certain you want car X, but want to test drive it to make sure. If that car is a Tesla, you have to buy it, knowing you can return it if something doesn't line up, getting your money back.
> Does the 7 day return policy not alleviate those fears?
Not at all, it's ridiculous to pretend that's a reasonable replacement. Cars are subjective things, luxury or higher end cars even more so. I've gotten pretty excited about the prospect of buying this or that only to drive it and realize I have zero interest.
In fact, I always thought I might want a Tesla until I actually rode in one and realized they feel profoundly cheap, the fit and finish is embarrassing, not even remotely in the ballpark of a standard German luxury sedan.
Maybe that'll change for the newer models. I'll likely never know though, instead I'd just go to a BMW or Audi or Mercedes dealer and be treated like a functional adult and a consumer looking to make a major purchase.
And once those guys get real, competitive electric options in stock, with functional dealerships and repair departments and so on, how exactly is Tesla planning on retaining market share?
I am currently waiting for a return refund for > 62k and have been told it will take over a month. Pretty sure most people would never consider that an acceptable return policy.
Of note, I am a big fan and want to order a new one, but ... seriously.
It sums up the biggest issue with npm. Modules shouldn't be a name but a namespace + a name , just like composer. Someone shouldn't be able to have a monopoly on names like "web" or "async". It should be "some-namespace/module-name".
One of the main stated goals of vertical landings is so they can do it on other planets/bodies. There are other proven methods of reuse when you have a benefit of an atmosphere and/or infrastructure.
A working vertical landing mode that can also be used on Mars, Moon and other objects in the solar system is one of the major mission at SpaceX. Shipping a giant vat of non-corrosive/conductive liquid to another planet does not appear viable.
RedLaser was released on May 15, 2009. It works with original, 3G, and 3gs iPhones (although it is faster on 3gs). It was released for the pure need for that scanning barcodes was very subpar on the iPhone. They were the first (and I think still the only, most others license their tech) app on the iPhone to do barcode recognition straight on the phone (no need to take a picture or send it to a server to be 'read'). Until very recently that wasn't possible with horribly slow Android SDK.
