Hey man give them a break! Those poor megacorpos need those spare VMs for training their new AI! The customers already paid, what are they going to do other than wait in queue? Its not like they own their copy of completely online dependent game anyways.

That's very interesting, thank you. I'd heard about Chinas progress but GDPs & mega projects aside, its good to know regular people are doing better too.

However, I'd argue we need fewer categories, if at all. Developed & Under-developed, either you're doing well or not. Keeping it simple might make it actionable: you need hit certain basic metrics to be considered developed.

I think its critical is realize the outward appearance of "development" is not a true state of a country, but usually a sign of huge wealth disparity between the richest and poorest. India certainly is a victim of this where there are essentially two societies within the country. I'm not sure of China since no news coming from can be considered trustworthy.

In fact, the "developing country" tag is usually used for marketing to attract investment.

Well its not organic at all. I remember it'd create a Threads account for you even if you interacted with a Threads post while logged into Instagram. Kinda shady to boast about such numbers imo.

I think you're right: it shouldn't be legal. But there's a clear underfunding/political unwillingness to prosecute big non-slam-dunk cases. Now with Trump in power that's exceedingly unlikely on a federal level.

Elongated Muskrat doesn't know engineering, according to those in the know. Teslas current ~~successful state~~ *lead is because of the engineering R&D set in motion by the original founders. Those ran out of steam till the model 3. The cybertruck is the product of Musk's reign, and it doesn't hold a candle to the originals.

Tesla doesn't have a recent track record of investing in thr right technology that require insight. Moreover all the strategic decisions taken by Musk at the helm haven't borne fruit: Gigafactories, camera based self driving, cybertruck's steel body.

CATL's Zeng agrees,

Zeng believes Tesla lacks the expertise to successfully develop and manufacture the 4680 cells at scale. Indeed, scaling up production of the 4680 cells has proven difficult. Tesla has faced issues with the cells collapsing in on themselves during use. Other battery manufacturers like Panasonic have also cautioned about technical problems hindering mass production.

Musk is a sales/marketing guys larping as an engineer.

Ideally if you fired striking workers the NLRB would get involved. Not so sure anymore.
