Numberone , to 196 in r🥛le

So hot, equally baffled.

Numberone , to Technology in History says tariffs rarely work, but U.S. President Biden’s 100% tariffs on Chinese EVs could defy the trend, researcher says

Yeah maybe the problem is no one is describing what "work" means in this case. The goal is to reduce Chinese market share in the US EV market, protection of US industry ( lets be honest, probably the owners' income stream). I don't see that goal failing being likely.

See this makes sense to me. In good faith I don't understand how tariffs couldn't work. I mean, even if it doesn't STOP import of Chinese EV's, the uptake would be so much less than if they were 50% off....right?

History is rife with examples of countries developing their own industries by making imports more expensive.

Numberone , (edited ) to Privacy in Chat Apps, Government Ties, and Transparency – Threema

Signal no longer requires a phone number. You can now create an account. Not sure if that helps your outlook on it, but yeah. It was a fairly recent update that this was rolled out.

Edit: being told we still do need numbers to register. I haven't gotten a new phone since well before the change was made, so I haven't actually created an account and gone through the process. It looks like I misinterpreted what was going on when I read the changelog.

Numberone , to Technology in Report: Microsoft to face antitrust case over Teams

Ha...guess I'm the asshole. But I still hate teams alright!

Numberone , to Technology in Report: Microsoft to face antitrust case over Teams

I've had to repeatedly switcho "new teams". The selection isn't sticky for some reason. It seems like it shouldn't be that hard to develope a messaging app that does file transfers and meetings but apparently this bloated pile of horseshit proves reason wrong. A second long delay when changing threads? "You'll use it because corporate says you will...and you'll LOVE IT".

Numberone , to Technology in Tesla’s Autopilot and Full Self-Driving linked to hundreds of crashes, dozens of deaths

And now you know something about me😋

Numberone , to Technology in Tesla’s Autopilot and Full Self-Driving linked to hundreds of crashes, dozens of deaths

Added, sorry for the delay.

Numberone , to Technology in Tesla’s Autopilot and Full Self-Driving linked to hundreds of crashes, dozens of deaths

Added. Sorry for the delay.

Numberone , (edited ) to Technology in Tesla’s Autopilot and Full Self-Driving linked to hundreds of crashes, dozens of deaths

Is linked to excess deaths? Technically it could be saving lives at a population scale. I doubt that's the case, but it could be. I'll read the article now and find out.

Edit: it doesn't seem to say anything regarding "normal" auto related deaths. They're focusing on the bullshit designation of an unfinished product as "autopilot",and a (small) subset of specific cases that are particularly aggregious, where there were 5-10 seconds of lead time into an incident. In these cases a person who was paying attention wouldn't have been in the accident.

Also some clarity edits.

Numberone , to Memes in I hate that guy

Here is a wiki source (insert error bars here) discussion of his stance on his work being officially licensed. He thought that use of his work outside of a comic strip would cheapen the value of the strip itself. This was frusterating as a child (who wouldn't want a fucking Hobbes plushy) but now later I can see that it was at the very least a very defensible choice. Compare how people feel about C&H vs something that was commercialized to death like Garfield. Anyway, hope it's useful.

Numberone , to Technology in Americans reporting nationwide cellular outages from AT&T, Cricket Wireless and other providers

Haha! Over my head. Sorry

Numberone , to Technology in Americans reporting nationwide cellular outages from AT&T, Cricket Wireless and other providers

Cricket shill here. I've had cricket for years, it's affordable and has good perks like free roaming in Mexico and Canada. It's just an MVNO of ATT last I checked, so if ATT went down cricket would too.

Numberone , to Technology in 'Better than a real man': young Chinese women turn to AI boyfriends

🤯

Numberone , to Technology in GM Reverses All-In EV Strategy to Bring Back Plug-In Hybrids

I get this sentiment, but it'd go a long way for people who have the dreaded "range anxiety". If they want the expense of both systems, then go for it. I have a used Chevy Volt which is a PHEV, we got it a few years ago and didn't want to commit to full electric yet. It's my families only car and in our case it's been bullet proof. 95% of our driving is on electric with only family visits requiring gas. It's not a bad system for people who aren't convinced. Different now that it's becomming a culture war issue though.
