Started watching King & Conqueror yesterday. 1,5 episodes in, it seems more like a hagiography than a historical series, but I might finish it still. It's a bbc series about 1066.
Oh, the market can stay irrational far longer than you can stay solvent. You are way better off betting on companies you believe have a bright future ahead.
And the only reason Chinese cars are so cheap is because of massive subsidies all throughout the supply chain.
Edit: If you're going to spout whataboutisms, provide proof. Because for all intents and purposes, European manufacturers aren't nearly as subsidized as you think they are. Also note I stated "throughout the supply chain", which is far more substantial than a discount on buying an electric vehicle.
Two things I think. They gambled on fuel cells because it offers an easier solution at a time when charging stations were rare. It's Tesla becoming popular very quickly followed by VW going all out on EV that really caught them on the backfoot. The second thing is that they underestimated the level of change to battery technology. They (at the time correctly) stated that for every 10 EV's, they could make 90 hybrids. While that is still valid, the battery technology has evolved significantly and become cheaper in the process. Even 2 years ago you couldn't find an EV in Europe for under 30k €, now there are several cars to choose from and not only Chinese cars either.
To be honest, it is not in the best interest of Ukraine to piss off two neighbors who are also EU members. Not that those shit stains Fico and Orbán don't deserve it, but they can make further sanctions on Russia or EU support for Ukraine significantly more difficult to achieve.
I know several people who watch everything on some iptv website for free. It's one of those that bombard you with a dozen popup ads and ad overlays. It doesn't require any technical knowledge to (eventually) get it to play and you can watch what you want to. 96% seems a bit high, but it is really common. Most people aren't as tech savvy as the average lemmy user.
Hasn't that been in development hell for almost a decade by now? I check up on it maybe once a year or so and there never is any progress. Last I remember the script writer basically said the source material is too diverse and expansive to create a coherent script that translates well to tv and still gives you a proper sense of the scope.
They (NYT) also did a similar one on election day in November 1999, where the answer could be both GWBUSH and ALGORE with the hint "The next president of the United States". Their crossword puzzle person/team is pretty clever.
Yea, and tomorrow Musk announces the imminent go live of his robot sales, predicts several million will be sold in a matter of months and the stock will bounce back up 10%.
Even if I was still an active investor I would not bet against Tesla. Musk has proven a master in stock manipulation.
Them allowing unlimited book checkouts during covid in defiance of copyright law, resulting in them getting sued and losing bad in court. They knew it was going to get them in trouble and proceeded anyway.
I'm not saying it wasn't a noble thing to do, but it was stupid and they knew better. So now they are just paying off the fine and I don't want my money to go straight to the publishers and lawyer fees.
I regularly donate to wikipedia, the guardian, keepass2android, whatever fund raising Ukraine Matters has at the time I feel like donating and lemmynsfw. Also have a tax deduction directed to animal shelters.
I used to support the internet archive, but I'm still pissed off at their stupidity.
