Yea, an area where the unintended consequences are actually going to push China domestically built airlines to be competitive with Airbus and Boeing, even if they lack the range and efficiency.

If Lemmy has a best of, this should be submitted. Or maybe we just need to create a new one called hardest life lesson.

Seal, YTDLnis, Newpipe, Tubular, freetube, etc... So many alternative options.

Your caredge article gives context for actual numbers rather then percent. Tesla sells between 110-170k per quarter in the US. It's down 11% in January in the US according to Business Insider. While still selling 35,000 more vehicles then Ford in that month.

Where as Germany sold 1,429 Tesla vehicles in February, Australia sold 1,592, and France 2,395.

So the scale of sales is vastly different. This is not to say it's not having an impact, but to dig into a percentage or statistics. (Mind you I wouldn't use percentage in this post, except I can't find the month on month numbers without paying for it, so I'll wait for it to come out in future reports.)

I believe it's a remote station/environment issue based on my working in Antarctic and on Research ships.

NSF finally saw the light after it was forced down their throat, and they still haven't resolved it.

Antarctic builds are costly, difficult, and filled with challenges you don't see in daily life, so while that might seem like a simple idea, it's about half as hard as as putting it on the space station, with a 10th or less the budget.

In addition to vk6flab points,

  • How do you get enough "reporters" to write the pages?
  • What does your vison of a topic look like?
  • How do you see this having an impact on these incidents?

It would not be hard to set up, but I think spreading the word, then maintaining it (if it becomes a target) could be a huge amount of overhead. I like the concept, I'm just wondering if there is a lower threshold way to make this happen. (Different platform, lowering the scope, etc.)

Maybe we can finally switch to the metric system, given there won't be anyone left to keep the imperial standards. /s

Had to look this up with the other comment.

Critically, neither country made concessions to Trump on Monday regarding their trade balance — a condition Trump laid out as a requirement in order to prevent the 25 percent tariff from going into effect.  “They have to balance out their trade, No. 1,” the president said Sunday. Trump has long touted tariffs as a way to prevent other nations from ripping America off economically, but this didn’t seem to be an issue on Monday. 

Republicans and the Trump administration have long touted Trump as an expert dealmaker, capable of giving his adversaries the runaround with little effort. In light of the brief trade dispute, conservative media hailed Trump as a conquering victor over America’s North American neighbors. “Canada is bending the knee, just like Mexico,” said White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. 

Rep. Warren Davidson (R-Ohio) struggled to defend Trump’s deal with Canada and Mexico as a win for the president during an interview on CNN later in the day. 

“Is there a tangible concession in your view?” host Kaitlan Collins asked. 

“Yeah, absolutely,” Davidson replied, noting the supposed “commitment from Trudeau that wasn’t there to help with fentanyl.”

Collins pointed out that that plan had actually been announced “six weeks ago.” 

“Well, at least he’s reiterated it,” Davidson demured. 

The tactic by Trump is obvious: work nations and investors into a frenzy over a potential trade dispute that would actively harm Americans, only to swoop in at the last moment and cast himself as a master negotiator and savior of the populace.

 

The Police Department has released two new images of the man it believes fatally shot the chief executive of UnitedHealthcare, including one showing him in the back seat of a taxi on the day of the shooting.

The images were released late Saturday night as the frantic investigation continued to identify and track down the killer of Brian Thompson, 50, the health care executive gunned down outside the New York Hilton Midtown hotel in Manhattan on Wednesday.

One image, captured from the front of the cab, appears to show the unidentified suspect peering forward from the vehicle’s back seat with his face partially obscured by a blue surgical mask, a dark hat and a black hood. The other image, apparently recorded through a window, shows the man walking on the street wearing the same mask, a black puffer jacket and a hood pulled over his head.
