Toyota bet on the wrong technology. Hybrid and hydrogen are not going to last, and now they have to pivot hard to BEV. And they are behind other manufacturers.
But just Toyota. European manufacturers are buying in Chinese EV tech to catch up.
Tesla is a gamble, a bet that the future is EV and being an early mover will give them an advantage. That's why they are valued so highly. They might be the Google of cars, or they might not.
Which is great, I just wish he would do the other things like make to auto wipers work and stop autopilot trying to kill you. He promised to demonstrate self diving coast to coast this year, and only has a month left to deliver in winter weather.
I have a lot too thank Musk for, but he's far from consistent.
They would not have shut the old ones down, why throw away a valuable asset if you don't have to? Shareholders demand you get maximum value from that multi-billion dollar plant and keep it going as long as possible. They demand you lobby the regulator to let you do it.
Many of the people who want to go back are elderly and in poor health anyway. Some have young children. Those groups will be worse affected, so you are not going to convince them to return just by looking at averages. They want to know the effect on themselves and their children.
In any case, so many people have moved on now that the communities they go back to won't be viable. They need to rebuild the population by attracting younger people who will want to start families, in an area that is still contaminated.
Before someone says it, the initial evacuation could not have been avoided. There was no way to know how bad the situation was going to get.
Maybe you should consider safer limits on working hours. In Europe the maximum is half that and includes mandatory breaks every few hours. That limit is based on the best available scientific evidence.
That's... interesting. I had a look at the link, and I have to say that the web site creeps me out. Very much uncanny valley stuff. Maybe they are better in real life.
Stuff like this (from the FAQ) doesn't exactly sound appealing either:
A cleaning kit is included with every doll which consists of a douche ball and antibacterial soap. As soon after you have used your doll as possible, flush the cavities out with warm water and antibacterial soap. The face of the doll can be removed for easy cleaning. You can run the face under hot water to clean it but avoid wetting the eyelashes.
I don't think you can characterize illness in those terms. And that's what this is - these companies are deliberately trying to cause a mental illness to increase profits.
It's very carefully designed so that the free stuff is enough to get you invested in the game, but then you see that other people who paid to win seem to enjoying kicking your arse and oh look the big one-arm-bandit lever is right there just wanting for you to pull it.
In the UK (where The Times is) this material could be illegal for some people. The law states that for something to be child porn it doesn't necessarily have to contain nudity or be suggestive, only likely to stimulate the viewer. So children's clothes catalogues in a parent's hands are fine, but under some single guy's mattress could be child porn.
but also more time consuming, with all the foreplay before and snuggling afterwards
That's the best bit! Maybe I'm just getting old, but it seems like I've tried most of the different positions and techniques and foreplay offers more variety. Also, it's usually a hell of a lot less work. Time consuming but not not physically demanding.
For me the best thing about sex is the connection. Knowing that she is enjoying it, seeing her smile, making eye contact.
Let me ask you something. Aren't you worried that your libido will be further monetized? It clearly is already if you bought a sex bot, but imagine once they get more interactive and start wanting you to pay for "extras" and "apps". I imagine vaginal lubricant is already competing with HP printer ink on cost.
That's it. Of course those devices will still leak out, I'm sure. But if EU based companies can't sell directly or provide any support to people in those countries, it at least makes them much less valuable. Typically those tools are not plug-and-play, they require training and expertise to use.
They should force ISPs to reveal where there is congestion on their networks. The national speed might be good, but in your area there is oversubscription and no intention to do any upgrades so what you get is much lower.
They are introducing measures to increase trade, but one provision of those new measures is to safeguard the EU's moral stance on the export of surveillance equipment to states where it might be abused.
Unfortunately they don't seem to be including the UK on the list of abusers, but it's still better than nothing.
what is needed is more competition, which is always thwarted by government regulation.
That obviously incorrect assumption brings your whole house of cards down.
There are lots of things that are heavily regulated which promote competition. The road network. The phone network. Commerce between states.
In fact, we can see that a lack of regulation is leading to decreased competition in some areas. For example, many people are served by exactly one ISP, so there is exactly zero competition. Yet they have a choice of TV channels because the airwaves are heavily regulated, even to the point where infrastructure must be shared.
The ancient Greeks came to a similar conclusion. People will always vote in their own self-interest rather than the greater good, and are often too uninterested or simply ignorant to even know what their own self-interest is. They advocated a ruling class of scholars instead.
A better option is a system that creates coalition governments. By spreading power around and taking more of the electorate's wishes into account, you end up with better decisions that help the majority rather than the few, and less political bullshit because every politician knows they might have to work with the opposition if they ever want to see power.
Trump is just a part of the chaos that Russia wanted to create, sowing division and creating conflict to destabilize and weaken the US and EU.
Having said that...
If he's such a bad president and bad person, why do you people even need to make stuff up to defame him ?
You don't. They just pointed out what he was actually like, the things he wasn't even bothering to deny to boasting about sexual assault. Trump was incredibly polarizing by himself, which is why they spent much more effort attacking Clinton.
Reading their release it's no wonder they gave up on the technology. They are so far behind Google they had no chance of ever catching up. I guess Apple decided that the reality distortion field wasn't strong enough to sell the tech if it was late to the game.
I was watching a video of GrandPooBear, a streamer on Twitch. Someone in his chat mentioned that they entertain their baby with his streams, to which his response was "don't blame me if his first word is twot-bucket".
I'm not sure what a twot-bucket is exactly, but from context I gather that this would be an undesirable outcome.
I found SmartGit works well, but Visual Studio and apps that use its shell like Atmel Studio tend to fail under WINE.
Kind of surprised that Linux doesn't have really a great, free graphical Git client and a similarly excellent IDE. Stuff like Eclipse is okay, but especially when it comes to sell well supported platforms like embedded it tends to fall far short. You can sort of bodge it all together with scripts and external apps, but why make an already tricky job even harder?
Oh, and QQ International works great under WINE. I was quite surprised, it uses fully skinned windows but they look and work just fine.

If the wind had blown in the other direction then the evacuation would have been inadequate. They were lucky.

Either way it's a shitty thing to do.

Yes, it's that crazy.
Pfffft... Those guys are amateurs, pros use disposable paper plates and pizza boxes to avoid washing up.

I wonder if it might give people a false sense of security. Just because a site isn't flagged up doesn't mean it hasn't been hacked or is secure.

Anarchy/libertarianism is shit, look at Somalia.
As the old saying goes, coalition based democracy the worst way to organize a country, after all the other ways.
