Those Model 3's _are_ Chinese EVs, I'm guessing this is more of an issue of you not recognising Chinese cars.

In Australia the vast majority (80%) of EVs are Chinese manufactured, with Chinese brands now accounting for 50+% of EV sales.

Ifixit do? Their whole shtick is building repair guides, tools and selling spare parts...

There is definitely an incentive for content makers to discover the next Xgate and some are going to extreme lengths because drama is popular. That being said destructive testing is part of testing a product, it's not like the engineers at apple weren't doing the same sort of things internally.

The facts seem kind of light here. Sounds like Boeing essentially did further "due diligence" using privileged information, decided the whole concept wasn't viable and wasn't afraid to share that information.

Given that buying companies is the only way such a calcified company can expand its product base, you'd expect them to be better at it...

There is nothing polite about this, it's predatory behaviour. If you can't make a 8m saas contract work your then company is broken.

The Queenslander house style was built for large blocks that had sufficient airflow, they were built to be cheap and don't work properly with modern block sizes. While they are iconic, and have some great design features, the lack of insulation is not one of them. A modern well insulated house with a heatpump + solar is extremely energy efficient and comfortable in all weather.

It honestly feels like the technology advantage Netflix enjoyed has all but disappeared.

Content is now king and all of the other production companies have been making content for decades, Netflix is in serious trouble if it doesn’t lift its game.

Honestly by that logic the British have a stronger claim, they sunk the ship.

(Both claims would be/are farcical)

It might have been originally designed to kill tanks, but it's incredibly well suited to current asymmetric warfare.

- Massive Payload capacity; it's a missile truck, 5x what a reaper can bring.

- Cannon can hit infantry in closer quarters than any explosive missile/bomb.

- Armoured and extremely tough, designed to survive small arms fire, loss of wing, loss of engine.

AC-130 might be the king of CAS but it's also crewed by 13 people and has a top speed half that of a hog... which is important when people need support _now_.

The US airforce don't like the A-10 because it's a platform that primarily does grunt work for the army and they'd rather spend that money on their own missions.

Yeah a mast or tethered transmitter probably they way to go, but now you have the problem of operating both a submarine and a pseudo surface vessel.

Nothing insurmountable, but it's not as simple as running under everyone which is what the article implied (to me atleast).

I love the concept of submarine cargo ships but there are three main issues that make them less appealing than ships.

Subs require significantly more thrust per cubic metre of cargo.

Communication and navigation are more difficult because GPS and satellite comms don't work underwater.

Loading and unloading in comparable times to a standard container vessel.

People are angry. They see vaccine refusers as prolonging the pandemic and putting their loved ones/everyone at risk for nothing.

This looks like yet another aluminium composite panel fire...

Australia has free bank transfers and our credit card fees are regulated to be significantly lower (amex = ~1.5%, visa/mc = ~0.5%).

That explanation makes sense, if it's been in work for so long it's probably difficult internally to get the resources to bring it into line with current expectations.

Unfortunately v1 will probably bomb in its current state and we won't see the proper potential of the device.
