The $25,000 Tesla You Can Drive Is Dead, And Autonomy Killed It | Carscoops
  • I don't believe Tesla will be able to make the $25k Robocar.
    But even if they do, it will probably be pretty expensive to own. Because it can't drive without FSD, and that will probably be subscription based.
    So the formula is like selling cheap printers, but to actually use them is expensive.

  • Deported fugitive returned to Taiwan after Singapore rejection - Focus Taiwan
  • Also Taiwan is the remains of the original legal government of China. Which meant mainland China wasn't recognized originally after the revolution.
    Which was of course equally stupid.

    Taiwan is an independent country, failing to recognize that is immoral. Pleasing China by recognizing their one China policy, is equally immoral, and will only serve to encourage China in their hostilities against Taiwan, exactly as was the case with Russia and Ukraine and other previous Soviet states.

  • It absolutely is, people have clearly reacted according to the propaganda on for instance anti LGBT issues.
    Ukraine too is widely Christian, but they have banned the Russian Orthodox Church, exactly because it's an arm of Russian propaganda.

    Christianity was the religious self-identification of 47.1% of the Russian population in 2012.

  • Yes I warned strongly against Brexit, explaining how it would be bad, and have no real benefits for UK.
    I especially focused on bureaucracy being doubled, but just moved from EU to UK. Something that maybe wasn't intuitive to realize, but has come obviously true. But I also warned about freedoms being removed, because UK were already walking the line within EU. And of course the obvious issues with economy. Everything I and others warned against has come true. Including the lack of benefits.
    I think Brexit (edit:) campaign has also been a significant factor in making UK way more xenophobic.
    It's difficult to say exactly because of Covid, but I think the economy is actually hit a bit harder than I expected.

  • If it is a PR stunt it is dumb.

    I think the idea is to show a further escalation, supporting the Russian narrative of a possible WW3.

    Russia is hardly a deeply Christian country.

    Russia has absolutely turned to Christianity a lot since 1991, even if they don't go to church. Putin has positioned FSB agents in the Russian Orthodox Church, and it's a key component of Russian state propaganda.

  • AFAIK UK used to be pretty open and tolerant towards commonwealth emigrants back in the 70's?
    IDK why it's become so bad in the UK, but it seems they've gotten worse together with USA the past few decades.
    This is an unfortunate trend that sweeps most of the world. USA, Europe, Russia, China and India. But UK and USA seem worse than most.

  • They probably will bring in more over time,

    Maybe they will, but I suspect this is some sort of PR stunt, probably to show a win for Putin. Maybe even to influence the US election, as Trump praises both Putin and Kim Jon Un.
    Christianity is illegal in North Korea, owning or reading the bible is a capital offense. Yes you read that right, there is death penalty for participating in anything Christian.
    Russia is a very Christian country, and there is not much chance those North Koreans won't be exposed to some Christianity.
    This makes it doubtful these soldiers will ever be allowed back into North Korea. They are probably write offs in a political PR play.

  • Maya signed a Non Disclosure Agreement (NDA) making her unable to speak about the abuse she suffered.

    I'm pretty sure such an NDA would be invalid here (EU), an NDA cannot legally prevent you from disclosing experiences of abuse regarding your own person.
    But in USA UK the rules are made mostly for the rich, and in this case, the school is richer than the teacher.

    Russia's Kharkiv offensive – what is the plan?

    >Russia has launched an offensive into the Kharkiv region, and it has created a lot of alarmist news reports. In reality it is difficult to see what Russia's plan is, and it is not self-evident that it is a smart use of resources. In this video I discuss whether we might be seeing a return to the fragmented command structures that Russia had in the beginning of the war.

    4 months durability for an $800 phone!

    My old $200 Motorola G9 Power phone lasted almost 4 years with only very minor scratches. Obviously in that period I have dropped it a few times getting out of the car, where the phone sometimes work itself out of my pant pocket while I drive, and then it slips out when I get out of the car. But no problem on my previous phones, despite the Moto had cheap Panda glass front.

    Then I bought my $800 glass back Xiaomi 13T Pro in January, and I loved the phone for the camera and good specs. But alas after only 4 months, and single drop of just 30 cm while sitting on the porch, the glass back immediately cracked! The back now looks like an ugly mess, and the high water resistance is very likely gone too.

    For sure the last time I buy a phone with a glass back!!!

    I wonder why glass back is so popular, and I curse the media for reviewing the Samsung Galaxy S2 as "feeling a bit cheap", because the back was synthetic, and drop tests showed it was 10 times as durable as the iPhone with its glass back.

    Samsung did it right in the beginning, glass backs are a curse.

    PS: I don't use condoms for my phones, if they need that for daily use, it's an obvious design flaw!!!

    The glass back is supposedly there to give a premium feel to the phone. But because it's fragile, people have to use a cover, but with the cover, the premium feel of a glass back is gone anyways? How is glass back not a design flaw?

    EDIT FOR CLARIFICATION:

    I am not clumsy, that's why I believe the phone should be able to last without cover. This was the first time the phone slid out of my packet, and I've NEVER dropped it out of my hands. One 30 cm slip and it's broken. Where for instance my Moto had maybe 4-6 in all over the years, and remained unscathed, apart from some tiny scratches. The sliding out of pocket does occur maybe a couple of times per year, but it's a low drop, and the phone should absolutely be able to handle that tiny drop, as it's an item for everyday use. I've also never had problems with scratches on my screen on any phone, which is the reason people use screen protectors I guess, which I don't either, because they are ugly, for instance they create a tiny ring around the camera, and they feel awful IMO, my phone came with it, and it took exactly 10 seconds for me to decide to remove it, because I could feel the edge of the screen protector when using the phone. But please stop with the dropping my phone regularly comments! Just because I dropped my Moto a few times (slid out of pocket) over almost 4 years! Always from low height, which it should be able to handle a few times.

    Why do Google searches not give maps links anymore?

    It used to be very convenient that when searching for something that had a geographic location, Google searches used to show a small map which linked to Google maps when pressed. Now all I get i a tiny useless map, that doesn't have any of the feature of Google maps, and often I don't even get that. Anyone know why that is? And if there is a fix? I use Firefox, but I'm guessing it's independent of browser, unless Google is up to their shenanigans again. I've added Google maps as search option, which luckily is dead easy in Firefox to do. At the same time I added Open Street Map, to minimize Google map use to maybe show them they are losing traffic.

    EDIT:

    I think this is the reason as u/garrett@lemm.ee writes:
