It works just fine for me; maybe try again. In either case, here's the text:
Four years ago, Tesla introduced the Supercharger Network – the world’s fastest charging solution – to enable convenient long distance travel. Today, more than 4,600 Superchargers allow over 160,000 Tesla owners to drive across the continental U.S., from the Arctic Circle to the south of Spain, and across all of the population centers in China and Japan, among many other places. Supercharging has even helped owners drive their Teslas around the world.
We’ve designed our network so that all customers have access to a seamless and convenient charging experience when they’re away from home, as our intention has always been for Supercharging to enable long distance travel. That’s why today we’re announcing a change to the economics of Supercharging – one that allows us to reinvest in the network, accelerate its growth and bring all owners, current and future, the best Supercharging experience.
Ensuring Use for Long-Distance Travel
For Teslas ordered after January 1, 2017, 400 kWh of free Supercharging credits (roughly 1,000 miles) will be included annually so that all owners can continue to enjoy free Supercharging during travel. Beyond that, there will be a small fee to Supercharge which will be charged incrementally and cost less than the price of filling up a comparable gas car. All cars will continue to come standard with the onboard hardware required for Supercharging.
We will release the details of the program later this year, and while prices may fluctuate over time and vary regionally based on the cost of electricity, our Supercharger Network will never be a profit center.
These changes will not impact current owners or any new Teslas ordered before January 1, 2017, as long as delivery is taken before April 1, 2017.
The Road Ahead
Just as you would charge your cell phone, we believe the best way to charge your car is either at home or at work, during the hours you’re not using it. For travelers, the Supercharger Network has become a powerful, unique benefit of Tesla ownership. As we approach the launch of Model 3, this update will enable us to greatly expand our Supercharger Network, providing customers with the best possible user experience and bringing sustainable transport to even more people.
Completely agree. Here's another example: BitDefender (antivirus) passes your email and MD5 of your password in the hash when you want to go to your dashboard. When I contacted them more than 1 year ago about it, their "senior e-threat analyst" said it's nothing to worry about. Absolutely ridiculous.
What to do when the company is ignorant and continues to use something as stupid as that?
If you didn't check already, see NomadList[0] for summarized information on a lot of cities. It provides a "score" in basic categories that would/could be important for people working remotely.
Honestly, I have exactly the same question. I saw dozen articles that talk about the thing but noone mentions exactly how it works / what happens after you catch a pokemon.
> So the thing is that nobody knew how it worked and all the information has been word of mouth from the process of deduction
I really like this about it. At the popular spots near me, you can overhear a lot of rumors and guessing about how certain features work. "My friend says he caught his Dragonite at this gas station! But I wasn't there to see it, so I don't know if it's true."
It reminds me of the original games. When people would spread rumors about how "holding __ button while the pokeball spins make it work better" or "You can catch mew if you glitch behind this truck." and so on, almost none of them actually being true. In a few weeks, we'll have a P:GO Wiki filled with confirmed information, people analyzing the binaries to see what does and doesn't exist, realtime maps of exact pokemon locations.... And I just don't think it will be as magical anymore.
I much prefer "I think you can find this pokemon in that park" over "There is one of them at this intersection, and you have 11 minutes and 34 seconds until it despawns. Be sure to feed it only 2 razz berries, and then use a left curveball for the best odds."
It happens for all popular games eventually and I agree that it kills the magic. It makes it impossible in most competitive games to win on knowledge. In most games you can compete on skill (or grinding), but I strongly miss that particular flavour of winning because you understand more about the game. I remember the days when as kids my friends and I were playing StarCraft over LAN, and at some point I started to kick their asses because I learned the attack type/armor type coefficients and height difference bonuses, while they didn't.
As for non-competitive games, you lose the discoverability aspect - but that at least can be overcome by purposefully refusing to read on-line material. I did that with Stardew Valley to my great enjoyment. The game would be much more boring if I simply went on-line, read the tips and started to min-max the shit out of it.
I experienced this too many times with UK/US providers (e.g. Hostgator and Fasthosts).
They often ask for server root password or email/password combo for the client portal, even after you verify account ownership.
Seems that they don't have any other way to grant the technicians access to the server/my account, which is absolutely ridiculous.
Same here. Since it combines most of my areas of interest, I don't need to use other sources.
If I'm not active on HN for some time, I check out Lobste.rs to keep up. They have way less members and posts, so hot news stay longer on the front page.
For funny things I go to regular Reddit front page.
