And in France, it is all about German, Asian or french brand, tesla being an curiosity in the EV world.
What is driving the market is EU regulation, not Tesla. And no, it is not a major player, at least in France.
Denmark may be biaised, because it is still a small cuntruy, with no car industry, so maybe a bit forgotten from the European brand which prefer to make a head start in the bigger European countries... This could be an explanation.

Whatever PayPal has implemented will be better than nothing, even if email with code is not great and code on SMS has its downfall.
Given a choice, for general public, I think that Google/Lastpass/ms Authenticator scheme (all based on the same RFC) is good enough.
Of course,FIDO stuff is better, but less common.

Hmmm, i'd say just no. Shame only shut their mouth, but don't change their inner feeling: they won't go to vaccine themselves anyway.
We will still win one point: they may not convince as many people, but that's it.
And on the first occasion, they'll get their flags, troops, and signs on the street.

Those antivaxx make so many nominees, those years...

BTW, we can still mock or grieve the anti-vaxx deaths, they don't care, as they are "immune" to any argument, be it sensible, rational, and undeniable...
The only question left, since convincing is NOT an option (we tried, and tried and tried, and failed...), is whether they should be healed or not in hospital and at which cost.

Comment Re:Percentage of emissions (Score 1) 116

And despite this, each country has to do its share toward the engaging signed CO2 percentage reduction. Then it is mostly a matter of looking where you stand in the 80-20 share of your reduction plan : some must address the carbon plants, other are looking at their car CO2 production :)

Comment Re:Would not work in the US. (Score 1) 116

Well, i'm french, so i can shed some light : will it work : in short, no, this kind of message will have little impact, but at some point, if you have those messages among other of the same kind, people may consider not taking the car when they can do otherwise.

Basically, regarding how the country is organized, i'd say people already only take the car when they have no choice, there are still a couple of situations where a bike could do (like the daily trip to bakery at 2 km), but i would say that people already try to spare the car trip when they can (also consider that gas/fuel is 50% more expensive than in the US, due to heavy tax system, and this is the most impacting message they can do).
One better solution would be to have a better pro-active policy toward bringing the services and goods at a bike/walk distance, the cities use to have the infra structure, it's just been abandoned for activity zones with big supermarkets/shop, but it is still not too late to move backward (and some are already on their way). There is a big trend toward consuming "locally" (largely fueled last year by the covid context and lock-down), and this, imo, will help more than these messages, whose biggest interest is to please the ecology activists...

Comment Re:Part of the problem is behavioral changes (Score 2) 262

Well, mate, i'm currently traveling to Canada, i've been paying attention, not mixing with anyone, always wearing mask where it has to be, keeping distance when needed, and i still got infected (nothing serious, i'm 3-times vaccinated, last early december). Another friend of mine got infected a month ao, one who is taking care of his parents (fragile health), and thus being highly cautious with all the recommended behavior... Got it anyway...
So i'm afraid the behavior is not exactly the problem (don't get me wrong, these are all things one MUST do, and i'll grant you that some are not so cautious as they used to be), but still, even with all the recommended behavior, this virus is spreading.
Good thing it is not a lethal as Delta, let's cross finger it would not evolve in a more lethal version...

A loss is something that you were supposed to win, for sure, and that you end up not getting for some accidental context.
The money you don't earn juste because someone is not subscribing your service or becouse he is cheating your usage condition is not a loss, since you have no garantee that he would have subscribed otherwise.
You can also count the number of billions netflix is "loosing" because most of the worldwide population did bot subscribe, that's still not a loss.

At most, those can be considered as an interested marketshare to convince...
