Comment It is only in the EU (Score 1) 209

People are getting upset for something that most likely doesn't affect them. It is only applicable to the EU, in the same way that in South Korea, Apple is going to be forced to allow third party payments. Americans don't like government overreach... They don't need to worry because this is not coming to their country. In Europe, we like strong government regulation to guarantee fair competition. The laws in the EU are designed to protect businesses from unfair competition practices, rather than focused on the impact on the consumer from unfair competition practices. Two different approaches with completely different outcomes. This is why in Europe we have a huge number of airlines.

Comment Only a truly Britbox would win (Score 1) 87

In the UK, every channel group has its own app/website. Some work on IOS/android, some on FireTV, some are only browser based. The iPlayer is the best, but it is still pretty bad. It fails to have the smoothness of a netflix or amazon prime user interface. If you could have a single platform with all the different providers, which would combine content and catch up TV, this could really have an impact. Anything less will be failure.

Comment Even the safest cars will kill you (Score 2) 641

The Tesla Model S is one of the safest cars on the road.

However, it has the performance of a Ferrari. People are aware of this since it is one the key selling points.

Maybe the car could have a spare key for limited performance settings, if you are going to loan the car to someone else or to a valet parking attendant.

In any case, drinking and driving is inexcusable.
