Well seems like all car companies are somewhat subsidized/supported. I don’t know how difficult to detangle the presumably many different levels of that are, especially internationally.
But if the EU were to subsidize “just” 500$ per car sold, and China 50.000$ per car, it would be impossible for european car makers to compete on an otherwise equal field.

Now I have no Idea how supported which markets are, and I’d presume I grossly exaggerated the difference, and it may well be the other way around. I have not found detailed analysis of this though.

It depends.
I’ll use some abstracted and simplified version to explain my point of view.

If Wakanda and Middle Earth mine Vibranium (which is Mithril btw), and both sell internationally for 100USD/kg+shipping, both get similar market share, depending on details like proximity to the customer, different grades, personal preferences etc.
Wakanda now invents a new mining laser, which reduces their cost/kg to 85USD/kg.
Middle Earth doesn’t want to lose the entire market and risk an uprising of the dwarves, as they just lost their entire industry. Middle Earth decides to pay the drwarves 20USD/kg of exported Mithril, so that they can try and improve their efficiency, and still keep their families fed.
Now Wakanda is undercut, and losing massive amounts of sales, Companies start layoffs, and Wakanda injects 20 Million USD in new refineries, increasing their output.
People not just internstionally but even in Middle Earth start buying Wakandan Vibranium. Instead of constantly increasing support, Middle earth decides to put Tariffs on Wakandan Vibranium, to protect at least the national market from Wakandan influence.

I wonder what the effective radius of these things was (and what it wad expected to be)
low amount of explosives + low density shrapnel may have made this basically a touch-distance weapon.

Words like this is a spit in the face of humanity.

was Israel not attacked?

I genuinely have issues trying to discern the propaganda from the facts.

from what I gathered, I believed that Israel just took some land on which other people were living ~70 years ago, displacing these people.
Those peoples didn’t like being displaced and tensions grew, until attacks happened on Israel, to which Israel had mixed responses with violence and suppression, rinse, repeat and escalate for decades.

Now Israel had it with attacks from Palestine, and is going with the only chance it sees at maybe stopping it, which is a very violent war, presumably with the target of breaking the hope of resistance for Palestine (probably with lessons from the US interventions of the last 50-ish years where more civilized approaches failed)

If this (very simplified) view were correct, it seems that they are acting out of self defense, at least if you accept the existence of Israel, because if not they are the aggressors for occupying the space in the first place.

this could be bad for mozilla / firefox.

if Google can’t continue to try to increase / sustain their market share, they may stop paying mozilla to be thw default.

yeah, but it’s not nearly as good as it seems.

ion thruster with a tiny bit of extra thrust snd ISP because of fusion reactions.

Yes, most people are not interesting. True for Emi/Imi-gration as well as dating. And in both cases it’s tough to hear.

You largely can choose the provider of this service, but they will also choose you (or not).
And you can not refrain from the service while being in the community of those that don’t refrain. In practice there are (nearly) no places where the community as a whole chooses to refrain.

If you’re in a country with compulsory military service, make yourself interesting for other countries and leave.

Doesn’t seem to be a flattering angle. front view doesn’t seem as bad (but still wide).
Compared to the F35 from a bad angle.

But the twin-engine design on both sides of the pilot (unlike a J20) will probably just make for a wider body as well.

Well, the US has shown that they couldn’t fight an insurgency with their level of protections for civilians.
Makes sense that Israel assesses that they have less resources than the US, and thus can’t fight the same way and have a hope of success.

Of course they could have used that as a pretty good reason not to start this war in the first placez but alas, they didn’t.

Those have gotten rather expensive.

But maybe the 4 will become available and cheap now?

Well, I assume some people understood me as asking “It’s just a tree, why the bother?”. I tried to get around this with wording, but whatever.

I kinda guess this is largely a “local” thing (not sure how large “local” is though). And of course it’s a pity that an angry teen destroyed a hundreds of years old tree.

Can someone explain why it’s so terrible, that this tree has been felled?
I don’t think I’ve seen it before, so to me it’s more significant that it fell on Hadrian’s wall. But I do seem to be ignorant here, so can someone educate me?

I mean Teslas marketing here is totally predatory, and imho this is where they should be severely punished.

once it became kinda publicly known that Teslas “Autopilot” doesn’t mean hands off driving, they changed to Full Self Driving ^capability

If you are relying on T&C as a get out of jail free card for your safety system, then it isn’t a safety system.

That’s how every safety system works.
You define the necessary conditions in which it works, and guarantee (with testing and validation) that in those conditions it does its job.
Nothing works unconditionally.

The Conditions in this case are in fact, that it is an assistance system, and not a safety system, because everybody knows it can’t be relied upon. It probably works >99% of times, which just isn’t (nearly) enough for driving.

Then it should not be called “Autopilot.” The AI required to make real autopilot work does NOT exist now and probably won’t exist for decades.

Well, in Aviation, where I believe the term “Autopilot” is most commonly used, at least before tesla, an Autopilot is actually exactly what Tesla offers.
When everything is fine, it can keep the plane going.
If issues come up, it disengages and the pilot has to be able to receive full control

/e: also, waymo and cruise already have completely autonomous cars, which generally work.

Except that Tesla does claim that they’re autonomous self-driving. They’re even among the group pushing to be allowed to sell cars with no driver controls.

https://www.tesla.com/en_eu/support/autopilot

they really don’t say that. I mean they advertise with it, sure. But always when it actually comes down to it, tesla admits it’s an assistive feature that requires constant attention.

Autopilot, Enhanced Autopilot and Full Self-Driving Capability are intended for use with a fully attentive driver, who has their hands on the wheel and is prepared to take over at any moment. While these features are designed to become more capable over time, the currently enabled features do not make the vehicle autonomous.

and you get warnings source (or here ) when you first sign up, as well as reminders when the car detects that you don’t follow the requirements.

if it disengaged a few seconds before, the crash is still the fault of Tesla’s software.

I actually disagree, because it’s not self driving, it doesn’t actually claim to have any autonomous features. The driver has to be aware all the time.
The way all of this is worded when facing the public is… horrible, that’s true. But since the warnings once in the car seem to all be there, I’d say that’s more a false advertising issue than a “is your product actually safe?” issue.

Really interested in how this comes out, even more data would be interesting to me.

not 100% sure, because weather is a bit device specific.
But usually you should be able to install either weather notification or quickweather (use an API key for OpenWeatherMap) and have that data sync via gadgetbridge to the watch.

And ZeppOS watches (most/all Amazfit watches) are well supported!
Can’t recommend it enough, for anyone privacy conscious at least
