Not an owner or shareholder. I encourage you to read up a bit more on their competitive strengths, including their battery, charging infrastructure, and autonomous driving tech. In that regard they are WAY ahead of the competition. I am stoked that VW is serious about playing the EV game, and you are correct that they are significantly more capitalized; however they are still WAY behind Tesla in the critical areas mentioned above. IMO, they are going to gain a lot more market share, for a long time to come.
Does FB put in writing somewhere that deleting your account will result in all your data, including inferences and profiling data derived from data you and others have provided will be actually purged from their systems? Or do they just delete what little personal data you may have provided directly, but could still reconstitute virtually everything about you, whether anonymized or re-linked upon request or payment by a third party?
Search for "deleted" in https://www.facebook.com/full_data_use_policy. The bit you'd be worried about is: Keep in mind that information that others have shared about you is not part of your account and will not be deleted when you delete your account.
It's not obvious to me that other people's comments should be deleted or modified because they mention you. What if they mention you again after you've left?
I doubt that it is a problem with the dev team, or a PM's lack of org clout or lack of API access (apparently the app could functionally do what it needed to do, except perhaps the final step, which might have required correcting an expired CC. iTunes has the same flaw when my card expires, requiring me to login from my desktop to fix). In my opinion, this is purely the fault of the PM or PO for lacking any sort of understanding of proper interaction design or making it a point to enlist the help of others who do, with the end result being a horrible UX.
I have gone through several Bluetooth headsets including Jaybirds, which lasted weeks at best. right now, I am using the Plantronics BackBeat Fit Bluetooth Headphones and love them. You don't sound as great as my old Motorola us, but they have lasted over a year so far of exercising and no problems whatsoever.
I had not heard of the East Meets West art by Yang Liu. Looked it up and found it very interest...if not spot on. Some made me quite sad about Western culture, such as grandpa walking the dog instead of his grandchild. Or the one on "self".
Results are buggy. "San Antonio to Caribbean for two weeks in July" displayed plenty of results, including Georgetown, except it was Georgetown TEXAS. My next search was for "San Antonio to anywhere in July for under $200". I get many results; however the price range is way over $200 on most of them. If I hit the back button I lose my search (can't see what I last typed to fix it). Also I keep almost clicking the giant PLAY button in the center of the page to start my search, probably because my search string ends right about where the big play button is. My eyes have to scan far right to see the actual search icon, which is somewhat obfuscated because it has no contrast with the search bar. I guess I can just hit Enter to search ;)
