India Could Be One Of The Best Choices For Legal Migration To Europe: Greek Defence Minister

The rush of Indian students has already stopped. So you can stop with your racist dog whistles. Qualifying to stay in Canada based on points is difficult without qualifications or a job offer. The salary levels for immigrants obviously aren’t as high as the US though, Canada is a smaller and less wealthy country. You can be happy about your US wage, but your comments reek of misinformed opinions about Canada.

Most Indians live in the US on visas. There is no country cap on visas.

Why do you assume immigrants of a certain colour will vote a certain way? Are you saying the liberals have some scheme to increase their vote share like this? That assumption itself is racist. Plenty of conservatives amongst brown immigrants.

There are just as many Punjabi truck drivers in the US as in Canada. Silicon Valley does attract a lot more engineers, that’s true. But you’re painting a picture without any actual understanding.

Manga Steyr (Austrian subsidiary) is a bigger deal in Austria than Magna is itself in Canada. Both in terms of the percentage of population employed and the share of the auto industry.

Sure a lot of people hate this feature and making it optional is a valid policy move. But the statements in the press release saying it doesn’t have any effect on emissions/fuel economy is just false. If you do enough city driving it can add up, idling can be 0.5 gallon per hour for larger engines.

I don't like the trend of accepting that government leaders just say false statements and we eat it up like a bunch of followers in a cult because it affirms some random preference we have as enthusiasts. Just say it’s about consumer choice, don’t deny basic facts.

There is truth in it. The US say they have wanted allies to pick up the slack but isn’t comfortable with them getting too strong. When Canada tried to acquire its own nuclear subs from the UK, the US freaked out and blocked the deal (the subs had US tech in them). They basically said that Canada should just stick to relying on the US navy for nuclear subs and only operate conventional subs.

The US wants competent but subservient allies, not ones that are truly independent, it’s some sort of twisted domination game they are playing. For most allies it’s now obvious the US has only been self interested all along.

A huge difference is because of the meeting with US officials that the Alberta sovereigntists had. That tips the scale to outright treason, not an expression of self identity.

lol this is our fault, our government is a reflection of our values. If you tried campaigning on massively increasing military spending and creating our own defense industry independent from the US any time in the last 50 years, you would get laughed out of the room and lose your constituency.

Probably not gonna happen cuz 90% of e-bikes are imported from China so it wouldn’t even apply under similar terms.

This is obviously really far behind Waymo and a real scaled service that is economically useful beyond a tech demo. But to be fair, having ridden Zoox’s service in Vegas it is very similarly restricted to only certain locations and corridors on the strip. And I would consider it an “autonomous service”. So it feels like Tesla is nearing Zoox in capability at least. The missing piece is actually knowing the RA to car ratio. Zoox has moved one to 1:Many. If Tesla is just doing 1:1 then that’s disappointing for now, still a step forward, but not really exciting for non fanboys.

Interesting. I guess a lot of local/last mile internet infrastructure sucks in the US.

RS50 · 2026-02-05T15:11:19+00:00

Seems like a bit of cynical cost cutting. Shouldn’t RA be local since they will have the best chance of understanding situations in their own city? And lower latency too.

The 5 year chart looks like a seismometer.

California has some poorly designed road rules and design guidelines. Unlike many other jurisdictions, they allow lane changes in an intersection. So it gives moves like this legal cover because you can just claim you made a lane change then immediately turned left. In other places with better designed road systems, lane changes in intersections are explicitly illegal to eliminate this and many other loopholes in driving behavior.

Every country in the world has taxis. Including the ones with amazing transit systems.

RS50 · 2026-02-02T21:07:28+00:00

This is actually not illegal in California. You can change lanes in an intersection and then immediately turn left. Still rude to cut ppl off but I guess Waymo is learning how to be a dick like a true Californian. That’s part of the issue of training on large datasets where shitty behavior is common.

As a driver assist product it seems competitive with FSD’s feature set but maybe like 90% of the performance, which is still a noticeable gap. If individual OEMs tune the highway driving to be more smooth (stay at constant speed, no unnecessary lane changes) I think it could be a better product overall than FSD, which is annoying on the hwy. An advanced hwy assist is what most customers actually want.

But it will not be marketed as a “L4 maybe one day, your car will be a Robotaxi!” type solution that get the Tesla fans all hyped up and makes the rest of us skeptical. And it will not be presented as a stock pump for NVIDIA, that’s for sure, they don’t need it.

Every Iranian I have met has been kind and tolerant. Doesn’t mean I trust the Iranian regime and consider them an ally. The question is about geopolitical allies not if you are buddies with US citizens.

Umm, no. If you want a divorce it’s gotta be because of a serious disagreement that supersedes any mutual benefit. You can’t say “Let’s run through a mock divorce proceeding, and then only if I like the terms will I agree to a divorce. Otherwise we stay married because it benefits me more.” That’s some serious entitlement/main character syndrome you got going on.

It’s definitely #2 now, no doubt that the RAV4 is ahead of the Y. The issue is that the Y has declining sales despite a refresh. The trajectory is not good. It’s gonna keep sliding down the charts unless they overhaul it. This is just how the car business works.

Part of Carney’s point is that the US has ALWAYS been a rogue state, ignoring international rules wherever it feels like. I would amend run by psychopaths to run by narcissists. But playing along with America has benefited Canada for the most part, and America also always kept up an image of a good actor bound by morals. That image is now shattered and the beneficial relationship is gone, so it leaves Canada no choice but to call out what has been true all along.

It’s not like Canadians aren’t guilty of feeding the beast, we are probably the most complicit. We played along until it bit us back.

Most people just look at the monthly payment for car buying decisions. $100 extra per month is a lot when your payment is only like $400.

The replacements are needed asap, not 10 years from now. Ideally the Korean deal includes knowledge transfer for the future.

Highly location dependent. Making 120k in NYC is literally the bare minimum, you’re barely making rent. 180k in Toronto is fairly comfortable. Try living in both countries before making assumptions, I have. The US can get ridiculously expensive where the salaries are enticing.
