If you’re going to perform in the US as a foreign musician you need an O or a P visa. Trying to do it on a B1/B2 is a no-go. This isn’t anything new.

How much does car insurance cost per year in Germany?

It sounds like standard is just a holding company for Nebula to add a layer of protection in the ownership structure.

This corporate structure seems a bit sketchy for creators if the platform wants to sell. If they sell Nebula then creators split half of the profits. If they sell Standard then creators get nothing.

It’s provincial and most provinces have it with varying degrees of data collection and accessibility but data isn’t shared across provinces.

The EV market is basically (1) Tesla, (2) a bunch of Chinese auto makers (BYD and ten others you’ve never heard of), (3) and every other well-known legacy auto maker.

BYD is giving Tesla some healthy competition.

Tesla is working on a $25k auto right now that should be available in 2026.

There isn’t much hope for legacy auto in the EV space. They’re too far behind and their costs for production are too high to remain profitable.

The Chinese auto makers have announced plans to open factories in Mexico which would give them easier access to North America under the USMCA.

Yes and further to that, not properly handling octal properly has led to security exploits. There is a whole defcon talk on this topic.

BYD is opening a plant in Mexico to avoid tariffs. If that happens we should see BYD cars in the US and Canada by 2030.

Shouldn’t the answer be Canada?

Chinese manufacturers like BYD are opening plants in Mexico to get around the US protectionism against Chinese made cars. Blocking this would require serious changes to the USMCA.

Tesla has proven you don’t need a dealer network to sell cars in the United States.

The model Y is getting a revamp over the next few months. It will be interesting to see how many of the things in this article Tesla decides to change.

It is one thing to show ID. It is an other thing to show ID and have the details stored in a database in perpetuity by companies who don’t have huge budgets for data privacy and security.

Rail is certainly not an efficient transport between the DPRK and Russia. They run on different rail gauges, so all freight would need to be manually transferred to Russian box cars, or the bogeys on each rail car would need to be swapped out.

If it is crime related, then the courts could impose criminal asset forfeiture (aka a fine) after a criminal conviction.

Civil asset forfeiture needs to disappear completely and forever.

I don’t think people remember the days when ISPs/free wifi hotspots would inject their own ads into the content of pages served over http, or replace urls on YouTube content to show lower resolution copies of videos.

Wouldn’t not buying a car from a dealership have more incentive to end the corruption?

Is there a good way to do case-insensitive accent-insensitive collations yet in postgresql? It’s been a holdup for using that for some use cases like searching for data, like a person’s name, in pgsql when the casing or accents don’t match perfectly.

Mssql has had this for ever, and I’m pretty sure MySQL has it as well.

Does this also suggest that the execs charged with the FTX fraud may also get hit with a huge tax bill?

Cybertruck has 1.5 million preorders and revolutionizes the technology used today in cars and trucks. It may be ugly but it will win in every other category.

Tesla is going to win on cost. They keep driving down the cost to manufacture EVs. That will bring down the selling price as well. Legacy auto makers offering EVs won’t be able to compete on price with Tesla without huge losses.

If you bet against Elon, you will lose.

Manufacturing capacity and output are also increasing as they build more Gigafactories and optimize existing ones. The price changes are an optimization to balance sales and production output to avoid shortages or inventory.

Yeah. BYD is the biggest threat to EV manufacturers worldwide if they ever move outside china with any real velocity.

Cyber trucks will start rolling off the assembly line in q4 this year and will achieve full production next year.

Tesla is in an infinite loop of building efficiencies and lowering manufacturing costs.

Elon has said many times that the lower the price of a car, the more market share opens up.

Their margins are in the 20-25% range whereas a legacy auto maker is below 13%.

There is a lot of room to cut prices and still make money.

They are cutting prices because they are cutting manufacturing costs. They are able to obtain the same margin after lowering the prices. The price cuts result in more sales.

Google mostly runs their own data centers. Amazon mostly rents space in commercial data centers with lots of different companies. Aws is probably pretty secure but likely less physically secure compared to Google if you get into the nitty gritty details.

It should because if you can exploit the root user, it is much easier to use that machine as a lunching point for a secondary attack. Further, root will let you cover your tracks much more easily than an unprivileged user.

Is that slowness actually measurable/noticeable or is it just theoretical?

Do you think government regulation is the reason you didn’t get scam calls? Or is it more likely that the Indian and Pakistani scammers can’t speak German and therefor don’t target Germany?

This change just says that only the card issuer or card network can store the card number (PAN). Everyone else in the processing chain can only store card tokens.

This isn’t a surprising change and was always going to be the future of PCI compliance.
