Yeah, but hard to compare apples to oranges here....

These Nordic idiots are the same folks that ride fucking bicycles in ice and snow in the middle of winter too....

This sort of attack is inevitable when you have open-access software repositories. If anybody can upload a package, that implies any bad guy can upload a package. So:

• Ask yourself if you really need a package for this, or is it simple or straightforward enough you can code it yourself and avoid the dependency and the associated supply-chain risks.
• Do your research. Don't just grab the first package that looks like it fits your needs. Review all of the results, then look at who published them and look them up on the web. Look at their web site. Look at what other packages they've published. Look at how active they are aside from the package you're looking at. Toss any that have red flags like no history aside from this package.
• Validate your packages. Authors often sign packages. If they do, get their keys and enable validation so you only accept packages signed by the author you know. That way if a package gets hijacked it'll fail the signature check.

Copper is actually about to become MORE expensive than fiber for a second time - pay attention to the metals market. Copper had a bad dip but it's recovering and will soon once again climb back up into double digits per pound price, at which point fiber is the penny pinching alternative.

Bruh needs to stop promoting nazism and get off his delusional billionaire high horse.

It's illegal to promote fascism or host content that does in France. They should have gone after him for that, since there's only three groups on Telegram, 1) Gay furries, 2) American nazis, and 3) Russian nazis. The latter two groups are enough to hang the man, and they should.

The good news is that nine-in young people

What is "nine-in".....? New term to me....

The rush is that burning it is buggering up the planet. If the US refuses, it becomes a security issue and we be dealt with appropriately.

Chicken little has been shouting this for waaaay too long....driving our ICE vehicles will not cause the planet wide DOOM scenario....certainly not in any lifetime soon.

We have plenty of time to come up with new and better vehicle power schemes.....

"making production decisions" is carrying a lot of water, business decisions are not made in a vacuum, they respond to incentives both from consumers, their competition and the state apparatus. Automakers didn't just decide to add 3-point-seat belt's or emissions controls into vehichles because of their own accord, they were either forced or incentivized to.

Actually the ultimate decision maker here...is the consumer at at least in the US, there just is NOT the market for EVs. The people that want them largely have them.

The general populace is NOT clamoring in mass to have EVs.

There are a number of reasons many involving lack of full infrastructure across the whole of the US....but whatever it is, the demand is not there in the US and well....a company is fucking stupid to build what the public is not demanding.....

The US, however, has PLENTY of oil...so, there's no rush for us to get off it.....and go full blown EV.

Besides, since there's not the full needed infrastructure here across the US, no one really wants them yet, at least not in mass.

Central planning is still better than the lack of planning we see in the USA

Well, never fear comrade....we'll soon see the new communist/socials utopia succeed in New York with Mandani!!!

And remember, in NY..if you can make it there, you can make it ANYWHERE, eh?

Good hope China chokes on it.....anything detrimental to China is a win for the rest of the world.

One would think the third-party doctrine would pretty much scuttle OpenAI's objections.

If we were to get vehicles at near China's prices its hard to argue that demand for evs wouldn't improve.

Not necessarily.....most of the folks that want and EV, have one.....there just is NOT the demand for them here in the US that you have in other parts of the world.

A lot of this is due to the recharging infrastructure not being in place unless you live at the extreme west and maybe the east coast too.

I live in the New Orleans area....and from the maps and charging station finders I've seen we Still have precious few public charging stations anywhere in this area....

This is typical for most of the US.

With that comes range anxiety, and there's a TON of people, about 1/3 of the nation's populace that can't charge at home due to being in apartment complexes with large parking nots and no chargers or renting homes without chargers out side or no off street parking.

Unless you own your home and can charge at home, it's just a PITA to deal with and EV over here for a significant % of the populace.

I don't want one.....wouldn't work for me.

Never mind that their FSD is more capable than any current system on the market today.

What is "FSD"? New term to me....

You do know what direct line of sight is, yes?

Go look at some airplane designs from profile view and note the engines hang well below the fuselage, thus meaning one can blow and throw shrapnel straight at the opposite engine.

In fact, the FAA has reports of exactly this happening.
