We are in the early stage of building the platformed version of our current WordPress plugin https://www.pathmetrics.io
It's a full funnel marketing attribution & insights tool with the intent of making marketing & marketing spends more transparent. We started from creating an utm tracking tool for our agency clients and currently it's a product on its own. We'll make it a platform to remove some of the limits that we have with WordPress and reach a larger audience.
No, having an external file makes it cacheable locally. If every new page loads some of the same css again and again, it's a waste of bandwith. You should already have the stylesheet on your computer by then.
The graph of Test Aankoop also gives numbers on overall owner hapiness. Even while being last in terms of reliability, it scores 2nd in terms of overall hapiness (right after Porsche). So it must not be that bad, right?
Not really. Could be the case that if you're in the 90ish percent that has no problems, you love your car, but if you're in the 10% bucket you're screwed.
Similar analogy: I love JetBlue, when there aren't any problems. Wider seat pitch, better entertainment system, good value. When there are problems though, it's a nightmare. Once my flight was cancelled due to "weather" (mind you it was a beautiful sunny day, and I counted one other cancelled flight on the entire airport departure board). JetBlue said they could get me on a flight 3 days later, and gave 0 assistance getting on another airline because they don't have any of the "peering" relationships other airlines have. All they did was refund my money the day of, and no compensation because it was for "weather".
This jives generally with what I've heard about Teslas: people fanatically love the cars, except when autopilot steers you into a truck or a concrete divider.

It's always an 'on balance' determination vis a vie what owners care about.
Yes, not everything fits right in my 2018 Model 3. The right headlight is not flush with the hood. You can hear that the windows aren't secured when rolled down and you close the door.
Everything else is brilliant. 95k miles in, I've had zero drive train or mechanical issues. Three sets of tires and an underbody shield that tore when I hit 6" of standing water at 70mph. Conversely, the punch when you hit the accelerator is exhilarating, takes curves flat and fast, the sound system is excellent, it's so quiet, I can drive for hours without physical discomfort, the seat material is durable and doesn't scuff or fade.
I drove a 328i for 20 years that I loved dearly. I haven't given it a 2nd thought since buying the Tesla.
As a fellow 2018 Model 3 owner (70k miles), I concur.
If you look at the reasons CR gave them a low score, it's fit and finish + the HVAC system (which have seen some pretty drastic changes since our vehicles in 2018).
My experience, brand new the condenser pump was too close to the frame (causing a knocking sound). A mobile tech came out, added a rubber pad, and it's been perfect ever since.
When I read the consumer report article listing panel alignment as a reliability issue, I'm suspect. I'm not trying to ignore the fact that it's pretty terrible for tesla to pay so little attention to these things, especially at the price, at at the same time the issues these cars have are generally both cheap/free to repair (especially since they are often caught at the point of sale) and then done for the life of the car.
Side note: My prior car, a ford edge, was WAY worse in reliability towards it's EOL (130k). By the time it got there, the fan belt had cut through the brake line (Um, wtf?), the brake master cylinder had sprung a leak, the alternator went out, the battery died, and the transmission was on it's way out, the HVAC failed and the compressor needed to be replaced. All fairly spendy repairs from regular operations. That's not to mention the regular oil/fluid changes, brake changes, and new tires.
Are you talking about all Teslas or some particular model? I am looking into the current Model X and it seems to have more problems than HVAC and panel alignment. Even the most reliable in their ratings Model 3 has dings for "body integrity" (which apparently stands for squeaks, rattles, wind noise and broken seals), "body hardware" (latches, locks, power windows etc) and "power equipment" (all small moving and illuminating stuff, probably wipers in this case) on top of the "paint/trim" and HVAC you mentioned (unless you meant panel alignment to be the body integrity issue then you get paint/trim issues).
Probably the halo effect of ‘doing good’ by driving an EV. It’s like when people choose to use the bank with a less slick app, website, local offices etc but that does ethical banking. The service is objectively worse, but those users probably rate their overal happiness with the bank very high.
The driving experience in an EV is objectively better, on the whole, than a gas car. The climate factor doesn't weigh into the driving experience. It's the instant torque, the always-full-in-the-morning home charging, the lack of smell and noise, the easy maintenance, and (in the case of Tesla) the in-car computing environment.
It's not about the "smug" or "halo" factor. If it were, why would so many people be lining up to buy the electric F-150?
That ‘objectively better driving experience’ rates almost dead last in reliability. Charging can be a negative as well, if your ‘tank’ is nearly empty it’s a 2 minute top-up with gas but a 30-60 minute wait with a BEV.
You are not allowed to do maintenance on your Tesla, everything is locked down.
You are literally the “smug” you are protesting.
And I say all these things as a guy that wants all cars to become BEV as soon as possible (well, I’d rather have public transit be prioritized, but people are egotistical and shitty).
The point is that people aren't buying EVs because of feel-good environmental sentiment. They are buying them because the cars fit well into their lifestyle.
Sure, could be. I could imagine that as cars get more expensive, "happiness" with a car comes more from the satisfaction of owning a luxurious car and less from its reliability. I would imagine that someone who owns a Lamborghini is happy about it, but they are anything but reliable. On the flip side, reliability is kind of the point when you buy a Toyota.
It certainly seems to be the case that reliability isn't that bad for the typical owner. Of course, if more people than the initial enthusiastic buyers start driving Teslas, the satisfaction might decline.
FWIW, I did a quick calculation and satisfaction and reliability aren't really correlated (coefficient of 0.17). Fiddling with a few other models didn't find much more of a connection.
Because the dominant ISP (Telenet) has enabled IPv6 by default on all their residential gateways. And because they (possibly somewhat surprisingly) have some smart people working for them.
That's remarkable, since Telenet is part of Liberty Global, who owns so many ISP's. Eg. neighbouring country The Netherlands has Ziggo (also owned by Liberty Global). Adaptation in The Netherlands is only 9 pct. Makes me wonder if Belgium is used as a technical testing playground for Liberty Global or if it's just a smart move by Telenet.
Depending on where you are in the Netherlands Ziggo will give proper Dual Stack or DS-lite to new customers. It reflects the networks that Ziggo was cobbled together from. If you are in a former UPC area you probably want to call them and ask them to downgrade you back to IPv4 (they do this for free). Their DS-lite solution employs carrier grade NAT which blows dog chunks.
DS-Lite[0] means you have proper native IPv6 but only a tunnel on top of that for v4, so it's unlikely that IPv6 connections are negatively affected by this setup.
My understanding is that for historical reasons the newer ISPs (mostly cable providers) were running out of IPv4 addresses. They then switched their own networks over to IPv6, meaning that if you live in Belgium, there's a very high chance your router has an external IPv6 address and not an IPv4 one.
Because they were running out of IPv4 addresses and they are legally required to not have more than IIRC 16 customers behind one address at any time for law enforcement reasons, so they figured that CGN wasn't worth it and decided to adopt IPv6 instead.
Not all customers do. Professional contracts and people asking special stuff or modifying their (Telenet-managed) firewall settings automatically get one. Other consumers - which is the large part of their customer base - get IPv6 with CGN/NAT64 with maximum 16 clients NAT'ed behind a public IPv4 address for legal wiretap+privacy reasons.
Really? I've never seen anyone with a shared IPv4. Maybe because every time I look into it the first thing I do is modify their firewall settings slightly. Heh.
ISP's could argue that websites should be logging source port numbers of tcp connections. That would allow them to have thousands of customers behind the same IP, and still able to identify a single one.
BTW, I just noticed: No, you cannot realistically have thousands of customers behind the same IP. There are only 65535 TCP ports per IP address, just loading your typical website that loads resources from tons of domains can easily need a hundred ports at once.
No, they couldn't, because that would be illegal. An ISP cannot just record the communication of their customers because it makes thing cheaper for them.
Also, that easily generates petabytes of logs, so it's not really cheap either.
As an end-customer in Germany, 30.76% is a lie. Most big ISP don't even have any (public) plans to support at least a double-stack. However, as rumours say, internally it's all v6 now. The best you can hope for (providing you have a custom and not supplied router) is 6to4.
