Use a fake email as my id? No, I’m not doing that.

I said email, not gmail.

There are thousands and thousands of email providers. Gmail is only one of them.

And even if your email is a gmail account, you may not want to associate your google account with the service, just the email address.

That’s the OP’s point - logging in by email is not an option.

Yeah, it’s phrased in a weird way.

He is saying that when cars were becoming popular, lots of people insisted that horses were better. Over time, basically everyone realized that cars are better.

Now electric cars are becoming popular, although lots of people insists that ICE cars are better.

He is saying that over time, people against electric cars will change their mind, just like the horse-people did.

but it does not explain the weird burn mark of my initial failed print.

I guessing that when it was falling over, part it got taller. (Think of a 199 cm tall cabinet in a 200 cm room. It can’t fall over, it will hit the ceiling.)

As it got taller, the nozzle could dig in.

As the nozzle got embedded in the plastic, the heat would melt some plastic, and the dirt would stock to the warm molten sticky platic.

Yes to both.

We all know that fining corps isn’t something that actually works because they just consider it part of their operating cost, so the goal should be to prevent them from operating altogether if their product can’t adhere to traffic laws.

You could say the same thing about human, but that still works.

1: Make the fines big enough to matter, but without making then prohibitively big for small companies.

2: Too many fines result in revoking permission. This doesn’t have to be on company level, the company could group the cars by model or something.

The numbers can be discussed, but this is the framework the legal system is used to, and I don’t see what it wouldn’t work, other than lobbyism.

😂😂

If you can look it up yourself quickly, or just ask a person on the phone quickly, lots of people will call.

But if the phonecall is at least 15 minutes of listening to annoying my music first, looking it up yourself might seem like a better idea.

People who really need to talk to a person might be annoyed, but it won’t make them consider a competitor.

If the first layer is good, this looks like some sort of over-extrusion.

How many layers up is this? The more solid layers, the less overextrusion it takes to get this pattern.

And yes, it’s normal to have it in areas like this, with no good explanation of why it’s a problem “there”, and not “there”.

A good closeup would help diagnose this. Maybe even a nice closeup video of how it looks while it’s printing. When I get these results, it’s very clearly overextrusion, when I look closer.

If it is overextrusion, there are many solutions, each with different side-effects. You can consider doing an extension rate calibritation, with the exact filament roll you are using. Or maybe simply adjust the extrusion rate down a little bit.

Hetzner works very well for me.

Not in Denmark. Although there’s a law on the way, so every employee will know their range.

I think that means that from the title, you will know that everyone in the company with that title, will have between X and Y salary.

This should help negotiating salary in a more fair way.

As I understand it, they are not employees, minimum wage does not apply. They are each independent, legally running their own company. A company can sell their services as cheap as they want.

I don’t understand how that works, because it’s illegal to run a company and then work as if you’re an employee. Specially not when the purpose is obviously to get around the law for employees.

I don’t know how the system works, but that is definitely not how it’s supposed to work. I would not like to use a system like that.

you’re not from one of those countries which freed themselves from some dictatorship or other recently

This is true.

software running on your devices which is capable of automatically reporting to the authorities everything you do.

This would be my only government app that is NOT capable of doing that, because it’s open source. If they start doing that, it will be all over the media.

I already have at least 7 apps where that could do that and get away with it. That should be the concern, not this new app.

As the US is showing right now, it doesn’t take much to go from absolutelly legit activity

If our government was like yours (even the way it was before Teump), I would be as concerned as you are. But it’s not.

I’m making the bet that if the government changes, I will have time to adapt. (Yes, I could be wrong.)

profoundly against any “report to the authorities”

Yeah, but that’s not what’s happening here, so I don’t feel like discussing that here.

Yes, all of that happens. That is a valid worry. Which is why they tried to avoid it.

Did you see how much they did to avoid this? Do you see a flaw in their solution?

This won’t tell them that.

That system is basically the government. They already know.

First, government id has a very different ring here, than in the us. It’s not that different from a name or a face. It’s not s big deal. Almost anytime there’s any need to be recognized formally, the government id is an easy way to do it.

We don’t really use “all names and addresses you’ve had the past 5 years” and all that.

So think about any app, where you need to id yourself better than just an email adress or phone number. It will be all of those.

I have an app to access my medical record. Nobody accesses my medical record without identifying themselves, in a trustworthy way.

My bank app, with access to all my financials, including pension funds - same deal.

There’s a payment app that is very popular here, the kids uses it too. It requires id. That id solves some issues that could have been solved in other ways, but since id is no big deal here, that’s the easiest solution by far.

I do see your concerns as valid. But at least in my country, we already have all of that.

I have an app I use to id myself to all sorts of stuff. Almost all of us has that. All the changes you mention are not changes, we have already had that for years. The new thing is that you don’t give your id to the website.

Just like during the pandemic, we had an app to prove our vaccination status, without revealing id. Before that we had to prove id, and then they looked up vaccination status.
