Oh come on, Africa has been absolutely stripped of all its huge commodity, mineral and material wealth by the west for more than a century.

China is being forced to sell hybrids because of punitive tariffs on EVs while indigenous auto makers scramble to catch up. EVs are selling much better than hybrids inside the China itself.

Yep totally. China is completely finished. A nothing burger in dim sum clothing. Useless. Washed up. LOL. (hint: rip out everything in your home that is made in China, then try to repeat that post. Heh.)

Breaking news: company which is way behind the curve on a new technology says it's all rubbish anyway, and angrily takes its ball home.

Great photos, thanks. But I do have to disagree about London being unsafe. Yes there's the typical big city amount of petty crimes (shoplifting and phone snatching seem to be the fave of the moment), but overall crime is very low for a

Not sure how much of a shrunken tax base a thousand fleeing rich people is going to be?

I understand. I really don't have enough information to attach fixed numbers to the circumstances. Whether it's £350,000 or £10 is a mystery. And maybe that's the problem. Maybe it's fine that people go to UAE Italy and

I understand completely what you're saying, but I've got a feeling this new regulation is aimed at those who don't earn any money in this country and therefore don't pay any tax in this country - even though they're

I'm not sure that's quite the argument you think it is? The fact is that losing a thousand well-off selfish people is not really going to put a dent in the UK's financial well-being at all is it? This is not a question of &#x

But that's my point exactly. If you're not that fond of the UK, by all means go and live somewhere else and ensure your tax burden is minimized. But it's interesting that out of the 145,000 directors in the UK, only 1000 have

Yeah, they're just spamming the threads at the moment with their commercial product.

Great article. Funny, accurate and very damning.

Good riddance. Tax leaches, the lot of them. If you earn, you should contribute your fair share to your domicile society.

Really? It seems very coherent to me. Sweden did not benefit from a free rein policy. On the contrary, the country's death rate for 2020 was in the EU top 10. And the reason it escaped the worst of the second wave is it vaccinated rigo

Indeed. But value is a subjective matter, and if a company believes they're receiving the requisite amount of value from their expenditure, then that's all that matters really isn't it?

I would add to that the double jeopardy of being created by a team based in India. Cultural differences are fundamentally important in any environment, including AI.

Just tried it out. Really quite impressive. A little slow, but, in my admittedly unscientific little app test, it did really well.

Of course Europe can break free, there's no question about it. But the big issue is how long will it take? It's clear that technology supremacy is moving eastwards. That may be the deciding factor in the long run. Once the sinopho

The app generates fake messages not fake identities. Which is a little weird.

Am I wrong in thinking that Mercedes self-driving was only within a specific mapped geography? Whereas BYD is an underwriting of general self-driving liability?

This is probably the worst it's ever going to be?

Yeah because the Western auto makers were developing advanced electric cars for decades before the Chinese started their program. Good catch. /s

Oh come on, you can do better than that, surely? :) Have you seen the level of robotic automation in Chinese car factories? Not sure what universe you live in...
