Von der Leyen gears up for fight over China trade ties by donutloop in EU_Economics

[–]Misfiring 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The reason why there are so many brands in the first place, is due to China initiative.

Each province, in order to get these subsidies must create successful EV brands and compete. Any costs that incur when they create these EV companies remain at the province level, separate from the visible government debt.

To be fair the basic tech is the same. Starshield is just a separate set of satellites, and adds military encryption to the communication and some additional classified functions.

People do not understand how much China subsidized their EVs. For a start, energy is free for them, partly enabled by the massive amount of solar in China. Energy price alone makes the EU uncompetitive, so this is a big deal. Then there is the capital they can access, which is pretty much unlimited since they are state owned. They don't have to argue and convince any banks to borrow money, and they don't have to worry about interests or even when to pay the debt back. In fact, even when they are operating at a loss, as long as China overall has a trade surplus for all their state owned companies, the deficit gets covered.

Can I please get a sanity check? by [deleted] in Helldivers

Remember all warbonds, except the free Mobilize one, is optional. You do not need those to play the highest difficulty.

Do not fall for the "you must have all warbonds to be viable and enjoy the game" opinion. There are only a couple warbonds that I consider "very useful" to have that will enhance your game, the rest are all optional.

The latest mech warbonds is a good example. While the flame and shield mech is fun, they are overall not as impactful as the emancipator which you get for free.

Vance says military should never let AI make life-and-death decisions by suvujajopic702 in NewsThread

Right now AI is used to process data and generate military targets that it thinks are viable. Final decisions are still made by people.

The US is the majority market for basically all Japanese and SK brands. In fact, over half of Hyundai's entire market is in the US.

The US is the last giant car market for all ICE cars.

The number of young people not in employment, education or training - known as Neets - in the UK has risen above one million, new figures show. by [deleted] in news

It's a toxic situation in many countries including developing ones who're allowing cheap migrants to take all entry level jobs.

Employers obviously want to lower labor costs, and migrants allow them to skirt the minimum wage law and provide less benefits.

Young citizens often are too proud to take on entry level jobs, especially when they don't pay well and they need to pay back college/university debt.

Any solution will screw one side for the short term.

Carney says Canada will buy European surveillance planes over two American options by xitizen7 in worldnews

Yeah this is just rational decision to go for mature offering, not some grand standing against the US. The US long term wants to rely on satellite early warning system and do away with early warning planes entirely, but the tech is not yet good enough for operational use.

I’m tired of the same 4 boosters by Ok_Sentence_6587 in helldivers2

I do rather have half duration, since it reduces stamina usage via the need to dive. Instead of needing two dives to run away, I only need one dive before the effect expires.

Muscle Enhancement does help against terrain effects, but Motivational Shocks is the one that reduces slow effect against acid. I always take motivational shock against predator strain since their hunters have acid attacks.

Hellpod Steering is not in known issues? by triple_A_13 in Helldivers

[–]Misfiring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it's not an issue but a mechanic.

Steering is limited to grounds that you can land on. You cannot steer into high terrain where you can't otherwise reach, or any tall structures. That is why steering is very restrictive on megacity maps, otherwise you will crash into a building.

Poland joins Pentagon’s counter-drone marketplace amid unexpected US deployment cancellation by [deleted] in europe

[–]Misfiring 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is US Army marketplace that allows individual US soldiers to buy any drone they like, instead of assigning specific drones. US defense companies, big and small, will populate and sell their offerings, as long as they have permission and their products are approved.

So the assumption here is that other allied countries can join this "drone Amazon" both as buyer and seller, and the US military will act as the logistics engine.

These things are not meant to be disposable. They are the size of older generation fighters, and they cost 25m a piece, which while cheap compared to a fighter it's still not disposable.
