It's the same with Putin. EU-Russia had a good working relationship where Russia sends oil&gas and EU sends Mercedes and Adidas and live happily. However this is not enough for the megalomaniacs at the top, this is boring they need

See the core issue is that you get US dollars in exchange, which is of infinite supply but still happens to have value due to the reserve currency status. You send your stuff to US, you get the dollars and pay your suppliers etc but they d

Why someone needs to consume the stuff produced?

I always thought that this tariff stuff is about restraining American consumerism first and coerce export oriented countries. Also, this obsession over the importance of accessing US consumers feels ridiculous. If Americans aren't buyi

Nope, you form a company in Italy and sell your goods you produce in France to that company. That Italian company ships it the same way you always did. Since Trump is erratic and there's no real trade deal between those countries and t

Because they are terrified that there will be unpredictable and turbulent times for the major industries? Just look at the public opinion polls, EU citizens are ready to take on Americans and even the most pro-US countries are barely on the

No, that's why I put a disclaimer. Can you show me you work demonstrating that US pilots are superior? I will replace the grok link with your work if you like. Until then, the AI generated one is much better sourced than the "US p

That's entirely false, the maintenance crew are highly trained people they don't figure out things on the go and when they have to figure out solution to an issue, it's based on what they know about the aircrafts from their t

I'm sure that a flaw in the plane can be handled more gracefully by the more skilled set of pilots however that's not the point really. Their point was that the flaw in the plane wasn't a big deal and the loss of life and equ

To be fair, it is ridiculous to advocate that the solution to a broken system is circumventing the laws. Fix for the problems for copyright and intellectual property systems can't be "heroic" VPN companies. Kim Dotcom become

I wonder if ubiquity doesn’t effect the lidar performance? Wouldn’t the systems see each other’s laser projections if there are multiple cars close to each other? Also is LIDAR immune to other issues like bright 3rd party sources? At least
