I don't think the point is "China is not an authoritarian regime", but rather that America is more authoritarian than most Americans think, or are willing to admit.
I don't have more but the government for makes a really good one.
Someone on here once described our laws as being written in a very advanced programming language, where they are upheld based on intent rather than exact wording.
It can be drive by cable in a multitude of ways. One way is that your foot moves a plug in and out that physically connects the batteries to the motor. There are other ways that are real, too.
Have you ever driven one? I got to drive one for a few days.
It handled heavy rain. It knew where the lines were even though I couldn’t even see them myself. It does really well even when there are no lines.
It does turns and exits. It slows down automatically for curves. It even swerved out of the way when someone was merging into me. It was fine with drivers going faster and slower than myself.
Frankly, I have no idea what you’re talking about, especially regarding a clear day and straight lines.
It drove better than me. In my use case, the 2021 Model 3 is already practically self-driving. I legitimately felt less safe while manual operating the vehicle.
I have, yes. It was a pretty scary experience, to be honest. It doesn't anticipate other drivers' actions, it just reacts - so it was always getting into dangerous situations like having to swerve out of the way of people merging into lanes. It worked okay in the dark, but not dark and rain, and not really in the rain particularly, which makes it not very useful on the West Coast of Scotland. It only works on motorways and dual carriageways, which, again, make it not very useful.
It doesn't work on single-lane roads so I wasn't able to find out if it can see deer, sheep, cows, or other animals. It probably can.
It's like being driven by a drunk teenager, because it doesn't anticipate, reacts late, and cannot cope with developing situations.
I don't really see the point in them. Why would you want a self-driving car anyway?
"for legal reasons". After all that is the only reason there is a driver according to tesla.com/autopilot. And that's 5 years old, so surely we should feel comfortable in the back seat by now besides the law
Do you think it’s related to Hong Kong or Xinjiang? Or even that Xi himself is ramping up tensions?
>No one should underestimate the Chinese people's staunch determination, firm will, and strong ability to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity," Xi said. "The historical task of the complete reunification of the motherland must be fulfilled, and will definitely be fulfilled."
>He struck a slightly softer tone than in July, his last major speech mentioning Taiwan, in which he vowed to "smash" any attempts at formal independence. In 2019, he directly threatened to use force to bring the island under Beijing's control.
>China's air force mounted four straight days of incursions into Taiwan's air defence identification zone from Oct. 1, involving close to 150 aircraft, though those missions have since ended. Xi made no mention of those flights.
right but it could also be temporary and Amazon may remove it surcharges when the prices pull back and stabilize.
Not that I agree with Amazon here, but it makes sense not to just increase the fee overall and have it itemized if its anticipated to be temporary (even if thats temporary on the scale of say...1 year)
There have been periods of negative inflation [1][2].
Though thats not really the point either. Gas prices DO fluctuate and recently have done so drastically (48% or so YoY). They are a contributor to the overall inflationary trend recently. Though aren't the only cause, or even primary IMHO, they are probably one of the biggest that are noticeable to the common person and one that doesn't scale well.
In 2006 after Katrina i was paying well above $3.00/gallon for gas. That got better over the years and really good in the last year or two. Then its bounced back up.
So again, if Amazon sees this as a temporary trend and cost to their service, it makes sense to itemize it off to allow the option of its removal when it stabilizes and/or reverts, rather than lump it in with their standard bottom line service charge and have to explain not one, but two changes to that down the line (an increase and then decrease).
I was cheating in War Thunder a year ago. Strangely enough, there were some players who could aim and hit targets incredibly far away just as well as I could, if not better. We’re talking tanks just a few pixels in size. There’s many cheaters.
