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.

but only as in the modifications to Falcon 9 to make Falcon Heavy, right?

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.

We can reliably screen for HIV (all blood donations are) why the fuck are homosexuals discriminated against over this.

except that the tests are (per cdc) up to 90 days late in detection. So you may get infected and spend 3 months testing negative.

And judging by OPs being german, where the rule (admittedly only since 2021) is "you may only have fucked one guy for the last 4 months", this seems like being on the safe side, but not completely excessive to me.

I've donated plenty of times, because it makes sense that there is no other way to save lives than to donate.

On the other hand, I've been wondering for years, that while I've been told a million times that "blood reserves are low - donate blood now!", I've not ever heard that a single person died due to lack of available blood.
Why would something like that not be reported if you want to motivate people to donate?

My personal guess is that this comes because "lack of avaiable blood donations" isn't a valid cause of death, the cause of death is whatever else (gun shot wound, knife severed artery / complication during surgery etc), thus it's hard to pinpoint. Also Doctors may try to "save" blood, when they know little is available, and people may die that may have lived if they had gotten (more) blood, but also they may not have and it is hard to tell.

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.

thanks, i didn't know that was coming

 

I've just found this Optimus Gen 2 demo, and I thought it's quite interesting.

The Hands are surreal, the gait is still weird, but from what I understand it's a lot easier to walk without an outstretched joint in robotics (avoiding singularity in the kinematics).

Very curious to see if they just did the "easy" 0-80% and will kinda get stuck here, or will keep improving rapidly.

Really looks like it may be used on assembly lines in another year or so. But this is promotion, so looking like that is kinda the point.

what do we think the runtime of these is untethered?
If they have a full AI stack in them, won't they need quite a bit of compute power?

Hey there.

All my scam-alarmbells are ringing, but I'd like to have a little perspective because I never got into trading with crypto at all.

A friend of mine apparently put about $70k in different crypto into masscoin.vip Then there seem to have been some hijinx with mistyped adresses, and talks with support later, masscoin.vip representatives tell my friend, that they need to fork over another 10% of their holdings, so another $7k, to validate their account or something.

This has to be a scam, right? The Money is gone, and since it was put in via crypto there is no way to recover it?
