In many countries outside of the US, Musk isn't a well known figure, and people buying a Tesla don't have to know who is the CEO any more than who is the CEO of any other car manufacturer.

I'm sorry but I have no idea who is the CEO, of say, Nissan or whatever, and I'm sure 99% of buyers don't research that.

Same with all cryptocurrencies having a "white paper", as if it was anything other than marketing crap formatted like a scientific paper.

Why does it matter? If they ban your Microsoft account because you had an upside down Xbox sticker on your fridge, is it relevant if Microsoft has a monopoly on sticker manufacturing?

Skype doesn't matter because they don't ban you from Skype, they ban you from everything, including things they do have a dominant market position on. And also from Skype, which doesn't matter as much.

Yeah the sponsored pins are visible, and annoying. But they have nothing to do with driving and were there for many years. Google hasn't added anything new, and definitely not any pop ups, like some random person falsely Tweeted and every news site ran with it.

Debunked already, and the linked article contains a correction.

I learned about this acronym in a Geography class in school, 15 years ago, and this wasn't in an English speaking country. So it's old enough and common enough that it was part of the curriculum even though it was a foreign acronym.

Clearly an unpopular opinion, but I think the Cybertruck looks cool. It's a bad car which you shouldn't buy for many reasons, but in terms of looks, I like it. It's unique, definitely stands out on the parking lot, and the retrofuturistic aesthetic is my vibe.

Even then, the other nodes would only need the hash of the password, not the password itself.

No, it doesn't say you can treat someone badly if they treat you badly. It doesn't say anything about how others treat you having any effect on how you treat them.

It says you should treat everyone the way you'd like them to treat you, regardless if they actually do or not.

The article was updated, this was fake news. There are no popups while driving.

It was all based on someones Tweet, which either made it up or was confused.

There is no popup whatsoever during navigation. The alleged popup screen is actually what appears when you yourself click a pin (whether normal or sponsored). Nothing ever pops up by itself.

The article was corrected, maybe you read it before that happened.
