Apparently its based on the field rotations in the motor or something, remember this is a fixed gear vehicle. I don’t think ICE cars use a gear either anymore, its based on the crankshaft sensor for the EFI, multipled by a gear ratio figure in the ECU. Even pushbikes don’t have gear sensors for speedo reading, they count magnetic fluctuations in the rim.
If these welfare queens can’t make anything people want then no matter - there’s a million people lined up ready to take their job.
The world does not trade in US dollars, thats a myth. If a Japanese company buys something in Australia, they convert from yen to AUD, they don’t go through the USD. Thats not what “reserve currency” means.
There used to be a thing called the Gold Standard. The amount of gold you had in reserve was linked to the amount of money you could print. The gold standard failed because it was too restrictive.
After WW2, the US proposed that instead of a lump of metal, money creation would be tied to the national economy. The US economy would be the “gold reserve” of the world and all the other currencies woudl be compared to it. The goal was to reduce the amount of foreigners using USD, as this was causing American notes to leak overseas and made inflation difficult to determine.
The Euro is used over a range of economies that are only loosely tied together. Although crude monetary policy like interest rates are common, tax collection is up to individual countries, so the Euro is not a stable value as there are too many variables.
In fact I believe the odometer reading is calculated from the electricty consumption, not from a meter in the gearbox. So if the range reading is inaccurate (and they are) it would throw out the mileage as well.
Should be super easy to prove too… Take an assortment of Teslas to a 1 mile stretch of road, drive it up and down 20 times, measure the mileage before and after.
Not necessarily, the incorrect readings may only occur at certain speeds or conditions.
How about you grow stuff Americans want, rather than what the govt will buy and give away overseas ?
You know - like Trump suggested.
Why would Trump bother ? They’ll still vote for him anyway. They’re a miniscule proportion of the population anyway and politically irrelevant.
all apps built for one distro can be run on another.
Pfft no. They won’t even work on earlier versions of the same distro. Or later. Or any distro where you’ve installed a library or driver thats older or newer than the one needed for the app your installing.
So in essence there is no difference besides the installation process, gui, and package manager.
There are three different package systems (Red Hat, Debian and Arch) and they are all completely incompatible with each other, and earlier versions of themselves. You can use containers like Snap or Flatpack or half a dozen other standards, which again are all incompatible with each other, and all of them except Snap aren’t fully containerised either - they are dependent on specific libraries and drivers in the distro.
In the near future, probably within 12 months, all the standard features of Windows will be gone. The won’t be any Explorer, there won’t be any Start menu, there won’t be any opening screen.
There will just be a prompt and you say “computer, open yesterdays word file”, like in Star Trek. There won’t be any “apps” to install - you’ll just say “phone, open the order menu for Boise City Chick-Fil-A” and it will navigate automatically to the page.
Sure, if you’re a total weirdo you will be able to install a bash shell and navigate manually, but hardly anyone will do that.
BTW, AI is being introduced into Linux as well.
You can run Deepseek on a Raspberry Pi.
Walmart will benefit because they buy in wholesale and the tariff is applied to the landed price. Amazon has warehuse in the US so Chinese traders can set up operaions in the US and pay the bulk price as well.
eg an item that is $100 on Aliexpress, costs $15.12 per 10,000 on Alibaba. A consumer pays $245, but Walmart pays about $35.
200 to make it a round number. That’s why they increased it from 104 to 125.
American toilets use to hve a great big bowl that would fill with water. Your bum would be a few centimetres from the water and your turd would float around in the pool of water.
Low flow tolietsare similar to Britsh toliets where a column inside the cistern is used to create greater pressure and flush the bowl.
1-money 2-incompetence 3-the senior prgrammer left somewhere and is uncontactable, or was sacked by a powertripping manager with the IQ of a cinder block and no one can work out what the hell they wrote.
Actually, the tweet was accurate.
Actually you had 3 hours to do it before he changed his mind.
He’ll change it again later today.
Probably will have some delays as the software get updated, and I wouldn’t be surprised if a bunch of Chinese goods get re-routed through Vietnam or other countries with lower import tariffs.
Most likely they’ll just have is “assembled” (put in a box) in Mexico.
India has 300% tariff on Chinese goods. Everything is still made in China there. US auto workers make $40 an hour, a Chinese autoworker makes $100 a week. Yes there are robots, but they have to be maintained. The difference is the costs of fitters in the US and China is even greater.
There might be a few edge cases where it is cheaper to make in the US ; food processing for example, where the sale price is low and transport is a large proportion, or highly automated things, like making plastic bags or injected moulded stuff like those garden chairs or plastic tanks.
They have to show the invoice from the supplier.
Yes, where the importer is also the manufacturer (such as cars), the factory can sell at a loss and make up the difference onshore. However, then their tax liability is greater. What they usually do is sell via a tax haven, the importer is based in Barbados, pays their supplier below cost, and the onshore distributor then pays the importer more than they sell for, so they make a “loss” for tax purposes. Tax is only liable on profits.
How can they ? Trump has cancelled negotiations.
Anyway, he’ll just change his mind tomorrow. Or sign an agreement and then renege on it.
The minister is also a Conservative MAGA fan. This is the CDP.
The far right in SA/NZ/Australia are pro-EU. That’s why they were so confused about Brexit.
Of course they would be pro-Europe, how could they be anything else ?
This is pretty standard treatment. There are only a limited number of holding cells in an airport, moslty for men.
If there is no returning flight that day they are sent to a local jail (known as a remand centre outside of the US) and stripping and searching is standard at those places.
The women said that they were going to do work in the US.
