  • it’s not clear to me this is strictly limited to ford. apple added nav support for the tesla supercharger network (NACS) in maps. Ford was the first non-tesla brand with access to NACS but many others can use it now and more will in the future. Ford also released a PR statement about it but obviously they aren’t going to mention other car brands in it.

    edit: as the other comment mentioned, this feature will only work with cars that share the car’s SOC through CarPlay so apple can plan your route with chargers. This is a choice of the manufacturer to offer that support, not a limitation by apple.




  • sure, there is financially predatory shit all over app stores and social media, but i’m not sure this is the best anectode to be spreading that message with.

    let’s assume the parents debit card got linked to their daughters iphone through icloud magic that average people wouldn’t know about. ok fine.

    let’s assume they didn’t think they needed limits on the kids phone because there was no payment method. sure.

    let’s also say that their bank should have alerted them to these transactions (even though there’s nothing inherently suspicious about them to me, people spend money on dumb shit all the time).

    but even after all that… how the fuck do you not notice £8500 over 90 days gone from your checking account? i’m having a hard time sympathizing with that level of financial obliviousness.


  • right back at you, genius.

    anyway, there is literally no point in thinking on anything you say if you honestly believe this:

    Me: “Hiring processes have ALWAYS used sex/race/etc in hiring, it is not a new thing invented by woke lefties. DEI policies are there to REDUCE it.”

    You: “The former is present when needed for business”

    All the non sequiturs and irrelevant historical quotes are just burying this very clear statement that you’re racist.


  • You said it’s “promotion” in pre-hiring process, but not in the hiring process. Logically this means multiplication, that is, that this works as a quota. Mathematically it does, and, of course, I can’t for the life of me care what they call it in socialspeak.

    utter garbage.

    Yes, I understand both these statements.

    The former is present when needed for business,

    you don’t understand shit.

    I’ll also add that the hardest part in building any mechanism is designing it properly, not voting for it and not being so proud how you voted once for the right party, voting doesn’t involve thinking, it involves putting a mark on a paper. And the reason various freaks and jerks are now in charge of your country is because of poorly designed mechanisms aimed at various noble goals failing again and again.

    what the fuck does this have to do with anything?


  • May not always work like this, but sometimes it does.

    like where? according to Cook they do not have quotas.

    Also yes, what you described is similar to quotas,

    no, it literally is not.

    anyway, we are missing the forest for the trees. i will restate the main point i was trying to get across in my original comment. Hiring processes have ALWAYS used sex/race/etc in hiring, it is not a new thing invented by woke lefties. DEI policies are there to REDUCE it.


  • such as the use of race and sex in hiring decisions.”

    this is such a misunderstanding of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and it’s a shame to see BBC frame it in this way. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion policies are there to REDUCE the “use of race and sex” in hiring decisions by reducing bias towards majority demographics. There may be policies to promote race/sex in the PRE-hiring process to ensure you have diverse candidates to consider, but it is NOT demographic quotas that override hiring based on merit.
