Tesla sell cars in the luxury car bracket in Australia. BYD and MG in the last few years started selling cheaper cars, and now dominate the market. In the last few months several manufacturers have dropped prices and released cheaper models. And more people are competing at Tesla's price point, like Polestar mentioned. So apart from the very real Musk hate from purchasers and their neighbors and family and friends and random vandals, there is now the option to buy more affordable vehicles or choice when buying a luxury car.
That feature is set to debut the moment Apple figures out how to make it a subscription service.
Heck Trump himself negotiated USMCA his last term and is now apparently reneging on his own agreement?

"A Trump never keeps his word"

"A Trump never pays his debts"

I don't know if it's dementia or if Putin has compromising info on him, but he seems intent on speed running the tearing apart of the west.
Yes, but with Trump you have to wonder if the tariffs will be reversed in three weeks when he has a change of mood. So it may not drive long-term investment in factories and supply chains, just a short term advantage for companies that already have local product.
Would you mind sharing the design?

I did! Thank you! I translated 1200 MW in my head to 1.2 GW but forgot to M->G by the time it came to post.

1.2MW is ~1600 HP, or two modern EV's at peak power. Let's hope that's not what all the fuss is for! :)

Trump should do this: 1) announce the government buying bc repeatedly then not buy anything. 2) The price will go up and drop again every time until people stop believing it. 3) He should announce it again then buy one million worth of bc. 4) No one will believe he will do anything serious with it. 5) Then he should announce the government is considering buying 400 billion worth of bc. 6) Silently purchase the bc spread out over a few weeks using many wallets. 7) The price will go up. 8) Announce the government now holds 400 billion in bc. 9) The price goes up again.... 9) Sell everything. 10) The end :)
How much does this cost you on an ongoing basis, if you don't mind me asking?
I love this.

Totally have been here done that. While my aesthetics are a bit different than yours, the core idea is very similar. I just imagined if Nuphy and Planck would have a twin and come up with this. I was on a budget so I basically said fuck it to the thickness and just kept the size small. Everything was FDM and I even had a 3d printable pcb-not-so-pcb if you can’t wait at all. This runs zmk for full wireless experience, uses an nrf controller and have a battery life of over a month. I even had custom keycap with stickers on it so I can lookup rarely used keys.

PS. The only cons or why I am not running this for everything is that you kind of need 2 hand to do certain things like pause the music or adjusting volume.

> I’m sure I’m way over simplifying this, to the point of stupidity, but tariffs raise prices on foreign goods to encourage the sale and/or development of local goods, don’t they?

What about all the businesses that export products or the ones that rely on imports. Businesses go bankrupt, prices go up for everyone and less people have jobs.
Honest question - can you not get these products from other stores or do all of them source products from Mexico and China? If so, it does seem like DOGE and other price saving initiatives will be closer to a net 0.
Trading jewelry for goods in desperate times is a thing. Even desperation in current times has examples of this. Pawn shops advertise in large letters that they buy gold.

But I agree, bullets are always a better currency; one of the positives (for people who responsibly enjoy firearms) living where I do is minimal restriction on such things.
> If I were to write a fictional story, and set this many characters of such magnitude in the same city at the same time, people would think the premise was absurd.

Heh, I chuckle because understanding the mechanics of what is happening in that anecdote one is one of the high-payoff learning curves the the article was talking about up to that point.

The dynamics of how a group makes decisions is not particularly intuitive and favours small knots of high-performing decision makers in a small geographical area. An interesting follow up observation is democracy actually leverages that really well in practice, but most people who notice get annoyed because they have a naive view that all the voters in a democratic polity are meant to have equal sway and impact in practice. The reality is the democratic process picks which tribe of decision makers gets control of the army and boots tribes when they descend into groupthink.
I don't particularly like crypto (mainly due to inefficiencies being common and it being a breeding ground for all sorts of grifters), but this argument doesn't convince me. Like... what ratio of legal-to-illegal transactions is permissible until you say "no, this is wrong, you can't use it even legally" or argue against it in a "only criminals use this, and you're not a criminal, are you?" way?

If we followed the same chain of reasoning, we can still easily apply it to real money. Cash, especially nowadays, is probably far more likely to be used for illegal transactions than electronic transactions. It's hard or impossible to trace, it can be laundered far more easily, it's easier to cook the books or hide illegal transactions with cash. Does this mean we should move towards banning it, as our society becomes more anchored to digital banking and the ratio of illegality keeps growing?

Your phone was made in the US. They’re all black rectangles. The reason you picked the phone you use is because of the software, written here. All the LTV is tied up in software and services. Almost all made by Americans. To me, the status quo is very good - there can be unlimited valuable software written but people only need one phone. A policy of pro manufacturing doesn’t necessarily make sense in each specific.
> Or, and here me out, those are the 5 biggest crypto coins.

How long has Cardano been a top five coin? Did you look at the marketcap chart and assume it had been there longer than a few days? Who owns the majority of Ripple?

> So if you had to pick what to put into a reserve it would make sense that the 5 biggest coins would be there, no?

Who decided five to begin with? And then I should actually refuse your logic and pick coins that weren't in the list of the five biggest?
Nothing says “I need to relocate my supply chain” like 24 hours of tariffs
They are not overwhelming the Ukrainian side. They are making very slow, grinding advances, and taking massive casualties in the process. Between five and ten times as many as the Ukrainian casualties, because this has turned into a war that heavily favors defense.

sure, and a good baseline assumption for most consumer goods is that price elasticity of demand is pretty low in the short term, so consumers pay most of the tariff. then in the long run perhaps things change and more non-tariffed substitutes become available resulting in maybe a 50/50 split of "who pays" (after all, the substitutes didn't have comparative advantage before, so are probably a bit more costly to produce). in any case, total quantity sold will be less, consumers benefit less, and suppliers benefit less... but the government does get revenue.
Imagine having Trump living in your head rent-free that this needs to be forced into every single HN thread no matter how irrelevant.
See, I want to agree with you, but at the same time we are actively burning our only habitable planet because the rich refuse to give up any money. So I guess, if we only send poor people to live on Mars, this will probably hold? But if there's one rich guy up there he'll probably kill every last person with him if you don't make sure he gets paid.
I don't think it's impossible to time markets. But it is really hard to do. If you think buying something overpriced in a bubble is worth the risk, I would argue it is you who is timing the market. Either you think you can pull out fast enough (a MUCH harder timing problem than figuring out when to get in), or else you think that the market will never get wise to the bad value.

>Spelling his name wrong will generally bias people against your financial opinions.

Yeah let me worry about that as I type it on a phone with an unruly keyboard lol.

>Perhaps listen to Buffett and Charlie saying they didn't time markets

Where did I say you should time it? I just said, don't invest in things that are obviously overvalued. Buffett is having trouble finding anything that isn't overvalued, so his cash stockpile is growing. You can view that as timing the market or whatever, but the bottom line is that buying overvalued stuff is a guaranteed loser. And when prices come down, you need to have money available to buy anything that is at a reasonable price. Of course inflation makes it difficult to figure if prices are actually good or not, and makes it harder to preserve value while waiting for a good buy. But it's a lot safer to try to do that in general.
This is so frustrating, because of course manufacturing countries aren't going to operate at a loss, so whatever price increase that happens will be paid for by the consumer eventually.

And if they eliminated the IRS because the ERS covers all our expenses, that would effectively mean that we have shifted all of our income tax revenue away from relatively wealthy high-earners to the poor (who currently pay little to no income tax), since the poor have to buy items at the price they're listed.
Is the market actually disciplining?

Or are Wall Street actors gaming the volatility for further profit?

Or both?
What I stated is the textbook definition.

For suppliers with fixed costs there are strong incentives to lower prices to stimulate demand sufficient to maintain utilization where possible. The commodity NAND market is an example of this. The fabs are extremely sensitive to utilization which leads to wild profit and loss swings.
I almost forgot... You'll also be receiving all the spam that the big providers filter for you, and that's a lot.

Just to let you know i am booting a VM to install windows 11 while recording with OBS studio. Check this space for updates. I'll admit if i am wrong.

looks like this is correct. I didn't have to do this before, so there's some software switch in the iso i have that triggered a "must update" - which makes sense.

Not to shift the goalposts, but you can disable the microsoft login after you set it up. I'm 99% sure that apple and google both require you to give them a username and password, as well.

I am getting the 24H2 disk image now. The one i was using is `Win11_22H2_English_x64v2.iso` - which is real old. It makes sense to me that microsoft wouldn't want you to use an old installer without being connected to the internet.

The download is probably going to take longer than my edit timeout, if so and anything changes about my comment i'll make a reply

found this https://github.com/memstechtips/UnattendedWinstall while i'm waiting. Says it bypasses the microsoft login.

Geothermal heat pumps are more efficient. They also ignore air temp so they keep working efficiently when cold outside.

The downside is that geothermal is expensive and hard to retrofit. They make the most sense in new construction in cold climates or adding to large properties.
You realize that the only reason this is a topic of discussion is because of politics, right?
You do, actually. Countries that have succeeded with tariffs to "build an industry" eventually forced their companies to compete in the foreign market (look at Japan and South Korea) so that they would not be fake leaders.

These markets produced actually competitive businesses that thrived and outcompeted the market leaders (US and European companies) in multiple industries. So if you keep tariffs forever you end up with Russia or some other backwater where people are forced to buy shitty goods because you have no access to external markets.

The computer market in Brazil, for instance, was like that. Most of what we had were pirated hardware, because there was never an effort to create a real industry in the country, they would just copy and paste whatever was available out there and "launch" in the local market, so even with years of tariffs and protectionism the country did not produce any player in the computer manufacturing market.

In a literal sense, taxation is not theft.

People often don't like the outflow of money. They complain about it constantly. "Netflix's prices went up!" "The store wanted me to pay for my groceries and wouldn't just let me walk out with them!" "I smashed my neighbor's car with a bat and now the judge says I have to pay for it." These things are not "literally" theft.

You can't run your own e-mail, or not entirely. It's practically impossible to send SMTP from your own IP address. For sending SMTP, you need to go through a smarthost that has reputation.

If your ISP provides you with an e-mail setup that you can use with a conventional mail client where you enter IMAP4 and SMTP credentials, chances are you can use that for SMTP sending. I.e. from the perspective of sending mail, your ISP can't tell that you're a server; it thinks it's just Outlook or Thunderbird connecting to it.

Receiving mail is no problem; your ISP just must not be blocking port 25.

It's handy to give yourself mobile access. When I send mail from my phone, it connects to port 537 of my own mail server which provides authenticated SMTP over TLS. It forwards to the aforementioned ISP. (I can't connect directly to my home ISP's SMTP server from my phone because the phone is on a mobile network unrelated to that ISP; the ISP's SMTP forwarding servers are firewalled so only the subscriber addresses can talk to them.)

If you're in, say, Hungary... you don't really need to rush your exit. You might find the politics unpleasant, but you can leave whenever and take the time to take your stuff with you.

Yeah, self-awareness is necessary for these abilities. It's also a form of subtle awareness - that level of introspection and awareness of inner emotion and thought helps you comprehend other people.

My experience is quite a bit different. Of course the examples I would use are more like what you might expect in real code. The comparison should be against code that calls a function that either returns and error and checks that error or one that panics and recovers. The overhead of returning the extra error and then the conditional used to check that error is more than a panic on error and recovery somewhere up the stack. This was not true in the early days of go but it is true today.

It really depends on the code being written. Try one approach then the other and see if it works better in your situation. For the example in the article there is really no need for an error check in the idiomatic case so why compare that to using panic. If there was an error to check the result would be much different.
