For anyone outside the US this is a clear statement that either models are open or they are controlled by an erratic and hostile US government.

Being a US ally has become meaningless, and using a company that’s not targeted today does nothing to protect you tomorrow.

If those running backs played soccer they'd all be asked to slim down. Soccer requires a mix of strength, agility and endurance.

> You might as well blame the entire US population for certain problematic actions of the president.

The equivalent would be blaming those who chose the current president. Which would be an entirely reasonable thing to do.

Absolutely. The US has shown it is happy to threaten allies and weaponise everything it can in international relations. It would be madness to leave critical payments infrastructure dependent on the US.

At this point it seems EV economics will make the EU government mandates irrelevant. Electric cars will be cheaper to buy and cheaper to run. The only remaining question is how quickly rapid charging infra will be deployed which will make electric the default choice even for those of us who cannot charge at home.

> whatever AI cost restructuring happening today

Is it actually AI-related cost restructuring, or did they simply hire too many people? They will obviously prefer to tell a story about AI rather than bad management.

Doesn’t that already exist within the Find My app? It’s not perfect, but it’s always worked fine for me.

How is that relevant? The US can reform its healthcare system whenever it decides to do so.

For the EU, Visa and Mastercard dependence form a duopoly controlled by a hostile foreign power. An alternative is essential.

You can't just learn a few words and expect to follow a train announcement, particularly when it's not obvious from context (anything other than announcing the next station).

This reads like an attempt to pass the blame to others. Per capita CO₂ emissions in the US are one of the highest in the world, and significantly higher than those in China or SEA. This is despite the US/Europe moving some of our dirtiest/cheapest manufacturing to that region.

Personal choices matter. See the amount of energy used on air conditioning in the US compared to areas of Europe with comparable weather for a banal example. If we want to significantly reduce emissions it will happen through a combination of personal choices, corporate action and government policy.

Do you have a source for that? Google returns nothing of the kind.

Source?

Looking on Google the closest I can find to your claim is the NTSB chair saying it might not be related after she gave out the details of the previous warning lights (as you'd expect in her position before the investigation has completed).

Not fly the specific aircraft which had three pressurisation warnings in the days prior to incident until they've carried out some checks? They were serious enough that they decided it wasn't safe to fly that plane over water.

Maybe the actions of Alaska Airlines were absolutely fine, but the CEO passing all the blame to Boeing before the incident report is understandable, but a little off to me.
