Vehicle Excise Duty doesn’t (generally) change retroactively, so 5 years ago they were telling whoever bought that diesel car to buy diesel. The bands are now (since April 2017) flat regardless of emissions for petrol and diesel [1], so the

Not necessarily. It only leads there if the flow has to be zero - reducing the flow and/or making black market guns more expensive than alternatives would still be worth doing (it would have a significant effect on armed crime long bef

There’s an abundance of evidence (e.g. [1]) that nearby states with more lax controls produce a flow of black market guns toward states with tighter controls, and that with increased legal availability the price of a black market gun declin

They might care about having to round-trip them to a repair facility (even if that's the back of an Apple Store) though, and not (without complete disassembly) being able to take the storage out before handing them over. Quick comparis

Apple doesn’t have the competitive pressure that I can take my broken iOS app and run it somewhere else as-is, or tell my customers to do that. “It works in Chrome” (and previously IE) is a real issue and the browser that broke compatibilit

The extra money is for options (e.g. to add longer range/higher performance, there’s an upgraded sound system etc.). The base car is $35-40k.

Agreed - although the argument that Apple makes the choices for you is laughable when you consider how many SKUs there are for a lot of their devices these days (never mind watch bands!).

That's all true but I don't see how it refutes what I said. The 787's been in production and delivering aircraft for 4 years longer than the A350 XWB, which is still ramping up [1]. If that's not a head start when we&#x2

Some orders will be transferred to other models, e.g. Airbus sold customers an A350-800 that didn't exist yet then cancelled the project that would have developed it. The orders were transferred to the -900 and A330neo, with the airlin

The 787 first flew 4 years earlier too, cost 3x as much to develop and aren’t selling for three times the price. To the end of last month there were 858 orders (133 delivered) for the A350 versus 1287 (625 delivered) for the Dreamliner. Con

Sounds like the VA wants out of the contract, so both sides shouting how the other didn’t meet the terms is inevitable. HPE will wind up getting a few (hundred) million to go away and the cycle of failed projects continues.
