@renard @jwildeboer battery degradation slows down over the lifetime. Although this probably depends on the chemistry.BEVs typically have lower maintenance, so I don't see why 20yr can't be matched. If (e.g.) 70% State-of-Health is acceptable 20-years in, i guess it's still a viable car to drive.However, I'm not sure why "20 years" is a metric to hold up against. Is that primarily a financial consideration? Worded differently: Would you buy younger for the same price?

Good news story!Switzerland said "no" to Palantir after 7 years of Palantir lobbyingJournalists FOIA'd and published thisNow other nations are looking into the extraordinary pressure and whether it might not be prudent to let a USA-aligned corp handle citizens' most private data (medical, tax, residence, assets, etc).we must have made them very nervous, since lawmakers in Germany and UK are questioning the contracts. It is possible that authorities are hesitating to sign new contracts. So we have triggered something that they are starting this PR campaign against us (I don't remember another media company being mentioned on their blog).All of this thread https://infosec.exchange/@adfichter/115826298160548686 is encouraging! Now while the story is hot, it is a great time to email your local journos and ask if maybe your municipality, state/dept/province, or nation is being pressured to work with Palantir or other authoritarian-aligned corporations!#GoodNews #news #Palantir #Switzerland
