Definitely just the guy that preached hate, they don’t care about the kids, but I am curious if they held one for the elected democratic members that were assassinated a few months prior.

Nah, it was ThisIsMyRedditName (jk)

I wouldn’t call that an ideal implementation, but if they implemented it properly, there’s no way for the website to know who you are, and there’s no way for the website to tell the authority you visited their site. If there is, it’s not actually a ZKP and it’s a failure of the technology (and I assume at that point be against the law). The only abuse that should ever be possible is that the authority knows you are using tokens, not where.

The only required trust that should be needed, is that the authority proved your age in the first place, such as when you get your drivers license, and that they actually implemented all the cryptography properly (which a 3rd party could verify)

Edit: And if there’s concern about token sharing somehow, it should be locked behind your biometics in a way that again doesn’t leak any information, which they saw you encode when they verified your identity.

Edit: think something like a programmable credit card with a key that can’t be removed, but the card can be programmed with an age by the authority and locked by a biometric. You go in, plug the card in, they add the age and their part of the key, you scan your fingerprint on it, and then you’re done. They never see your key. You then use it anywhere it’s needed and it never goes back to the central authority. Give it a limited lifespan so it has to be renewed once a year or something.

Well that’s awesome. I had heard Germany did a ZKP solution, I didn’t realize it was EU law.

I don’t really expect anywhere but the EU to do that though. ZKP are really the only way to do it if it’s going to be done.

but this doesn’t necessarily mean that the identity verification company is reporting to the government which people have initiated age verification, or for which websites.

Oh sweet summer child.

Unless it’s designed to not be capable of doing it (its not), they are doing it and it’s the intended plan.

It becomes a saftey issue when there’s enough to cause pitting or gouging, which in turn reduces the surface area you can brake on. You’ll fail before that point. You’ll fail at the point that using the brakes can clear them and let you pass.

It means the test is too strict.

Rust can be a real problem, but you can fail before it is a saftey problem.

It’s not a serious saftey issue at the level that would fail the car.

If you are gung ho on regen and never use/clear your brakes, you could definitely get to the point of it being legitimately dangerous, and that 100% needs to be found during an inspection and resolved, but that’s not what’s happening here in a lot of cases. This isn’t a OEM problem, it’s driver education around something entirely new problem. (edit: There are a lot of signs that something is wrong before it gets dangerous.)

Oh shit, I didn’t realize this was Denmark, i was thinking of the German one. In the German one, Tesla was only 1-2% above the next worst one which wasn’t an EV. And the reason Tesla would have more issues with rust is the reasons I listed above.

Where do you see the actual numbers/ranking the article you posted doesn’t show that, but the first thing it calls out is brakes (among all the others)

Edit this is the quote from the article

It is especially the fault groups “brake equipment”, “lamping equipment”, “axles, wheels and tires” and “controlldom” that the cars fail

Regulation regarding rust on the brake discs is very clear, and trivial to fix. So why wasn’t it fixed?

It’s not something to “fix” like that.

It’s there one day and its not the next. If it’s there, you fail.

It just depends on if you’re using them or not and the weather at the time. If you take the time to go to a shop for a pre-inspection (not everyone will), and they see rust, they’ll just tell you to go use your brakes. That’s the fix.

Tesla wasn’t going to be last if not for this rust issue.

Edit: Just to be more clear - If you drive your car in the rain, park it for a few days or even overnight and check it, you’ll have rust. You don’t fix that in any way other than using them. OEMs don’t just fix that.

Tesla’s high failure rate is primarily due to rust on the brakes from people using regen. Rust will form on all brakes if left unused, it’s just a matter of using them. There was also an issue with the front suspension that required a service bulletin at the time that was legit, but wasn’t a saftey thing.

There’s a few things that could lead to Tesla having higher rust rates over other EVs

• Tesla might have stronger regen so people use the brakes less.
• Tesla has a strong 1 pedal driving option which further reduces braking if enabled [0 brake pedal usage needed to come to complete stop, it will blend in brakes for the last few km/h]
• For cars that use blended braking anywhere, they may initiate it sooner than later.

Either way on an EV, you need to use your brakes on occasion or rust will form. Using the brakes clears the rust.

Edit: Essentially, this is a case of the facts are true, but the facts don’t always tell the whole truth. If you walk away from reading about this report thinking Tesla is the least reliable car, you’ve been mislead, unintentionally or not.

The Canadian and US autosector are heavily intertwined. BYD destroying the US or Canadian market, will also destroy the Canadian sector which is already on edge.

Ah ya, i remember that article. The one where the author used the cyber truck being blown up by a person using fireworks and the limited sales / fires to get to that conclusion the fireworks allowed.

BYD is being sued for slave like conditions in Brazil.

You think they’ll do that in Brazil and not China?

Everyone is like YAY BYD BAD TESLA, but buying a BYD is gonna be worse overall. If you want to buy something other than Tesla, don’t buy a fucking BYD. Find a non Chinese brand, there are plenty of them now.

You don’t need your phone anywhere, it’s just not Android auto. You can make phone calls through your phone via voice, it can play music from your phone, but there’s limited controls there to control the phone, or you can just use any of their built in music apps with full voice and touch screen controls. I think you can even do voice to text messages or have text messages read to you, but I’m not 100% sure on that one. There’s something about text messages though. You can share a map location from your phone directly to the car.

I keep a $50 bill hidden between my phone/case so I always have some if i lose/forget my wallet, but that’s definitely a prime target for being stolen… might toss one in a shoe as well, that’s a good idea.

They stopped testing and covid went away, if that isn’t definitive scientific proof testing was causing covid I don’t know what is!

Clearly, the brainworms know they’re gonna be targeted by the tech in the future and need to stop it now.

17th biggest in the world. I was surprised when I learned that.

It never occurred to me that authors would do that, but of course they would.
