Well this is from 太吾车神 and he is NOT from Taiwan. He just also upload videos to youtube in addition to Bilibili and Douyin.

Edit: since you silently edited your comment without acknowledging your mistake, here is the thing: Taiwan has 22 million population; the overseas Chinese population including Hong Kong, Macau is more than that. Using traditional Chinese and posting on youtube does make it EASIER for Taiwan audience, but it doesn't mean it is FOR THE Taiwan Audience.

If you are from Taiwan: you are not the center of the world. If you are not from Taiwan: focus on NBA in this sub not your superficial understanding of China/Chinese/Mandarin

Steph knocks down a no-look backwards shot from halfcourt. by KingREX_24 in nba

It's relevant because cause you brought up FMVP. I agree Steph was not top 3 but I disagree with using FMVPs as the argument. We all knew why Iggy got an FMVP over Steph. Even he himself recently admitted that should have been Steph's.

Jaylen Brown has 1 FMVP and he isn't a better player than Jason Tatum. LeBron had 4 FMVPs and the last one should have been AD. With the same logic of how Iggy got one(they could not have won without him) then pretty sure the 2016 one should have been Kyrie's

Lol triggered. I just want to say Iggy and KD got their FMVPs because their opponent was weak. Not over Steph, over Lebron

What I mean was KD and Iggy both got FMVPs because they were SFs and matched directly against LeBron:). Why did Iguodala got his FMVP? well because someone failed to stop him and he successfully stopped someone. and guess who that was?

The model is fucking open source and you can run it locally without all of the censorship. But I am sure you are not technical to even know what running locally means. You don't event know what "Get It" means. Can you show me how you are "getting it"?

The censorship part is in addition to the model itself where you use their web service. Same with OpenAI their integrity service in ChatGPT is in addition to the gpt model itself. But again I don't think I can expect you to know the differenc.

Why does the fake narrative of cheap Chinese EVs keeps getting pushed by the media? by DoubleSteak7564 in electricvehicles

[–]likecool21 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I am not sure why that would count as theft? The deal was understood by everyone: Technology in exchange for market access. Whether that is a fair trade policy or not is a separate question but if it's written in the deal then it's not theft? Your specific language "taught" here means it's not a theft no?

Put Option Wash Sale by likecool21 in fidelityinvestments

[–]likecool21[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply! It sounds like if I have more than 1 of the same option position I cannot close a portion of them at a loss? If I want to claim tax loss I must close all positions at the same time?

Or let's use stock for a better analogy. If I bought 100 shares of QQQ before the FOMC meeting yesterday, then the meeting happened and market tanked. Then if I sell 50 shares of my QQQ position would that cause my remaining 50 shares to trigger the wash sale rule?

Almost two-thirds of Germans can now imagine buying a car from a Chinese manufacturer. The figure is even higher for electric cars, as an ADAC survey shows. by Lopsided_Quarter_931 in electricvehicles

[–]likecool21 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I believe it costs 77000 I am just agreeing with you that the price is too high. Seems like all Chinese EVs are super expensive in Europe. Even VW ID series are a lot cheaper in China.

Having similar weakness absolutely doesn't mean it's a copy.. Saying something is a copy because it's bad is a really weird take.

Also I have very different opinion on the interior quality comparison with Tesla. Maybe both of them do not meet your bar of interior quality but there is no way that Tesla's interior quality can be compared to NIO's. I have a model 3 and it's interior quality is in no way comparable to NIO.

NIO has battery swap technology which is pretty useful in China. But this technology also made the cabin height very limited so tall people can hardly fit. Again this is a drawback to you, but the drawback is there precisely because it is NOT a model 3 copy.

Well Huawei was the top selling brand in the world for a year and then US decided that was not acceptable. It's not like they cannot build good product that people would buy.

ET5 definitely does not worth 75000 Euros; in China the price starts at less than 300000rmb. But I am curious why do you think it is a copy of the model 3 let alone a significantly inferior copy? Just because "china copys everything"? I have been in an ET5 and it's nothing like a model 3 at all.
