Working hard and long hours at the detriment of other things can be a good idea. If you have equity, a stake in the thing you're doing. You could print money. But if you're an employee, there's no such incentive.

It's not even that he has business in China. He has also stated that Taiwan is part of China and that China-Taiwan tensions could be alleviated if Taiwan gave up some of it's territory to China. He has already chosen to side with the adversary in any future indo-pacific conflict.

We'll be dealing with the after effects of the early Anthropocene for eons.
Every country is free to make it's own agreements internationally. But it doesn't make a lot of sense. Bargaining as the EU instead of an individual country gives you so much more bargaining power.
China for sure. Taiwan only on paper, in practice it's fine with the territory it has and has no ambitions of ousting the CPP and regaining it's former territories. But if Taiwan breaks this "stalemate" than China will consider it a declaration of independence. Which is also weird, since Taiwan (formally the Republic of China) has been an independent nation since 1912 and is a direct continuation of 250 years of Qing Dynasty rule. Whilst China (formally the People's Republic of China) was split of from the ROC in 1949.
Which even weirder is that the British obtained Hong Kong from the Qing Dynasty. And since the ROC is the continuation of the Qing Dynasty, Hong Kong should be returned to Taiwan. But for obvious practical reasons that was not what happened.
The cloud is amazing. As long as you control the cloud. I've been considering a Homelab for this very reason for some time.
This was an atrocious read.
But it's pretty clear why Teslas are hitting motorcycles. The cars are only using cameras and are improperly recognizing motorcycles on the road. Every other self-driving car uses LIDAR which detects the physical presence of an object. My bet is that the Tesla thinks the narrow set taillights on the motorcycle are actually that of a car in the distance therefore assuming, wrongly, that the road is clear and hitting the rider.
