How is this on the HN frontpage with 5 upvotes and a non-functioning website?

Great link.

But what is described here is how common reviewers and influencers are treated. However a superstar like Top Gear or MKBHD won't be impressed by a night at a London airport hotel. They require much more resources otherwise the company risks the hammer coming down like it was case here.

People really shouldn't be surprised by this stuff - this phenomenon is as old as mass media itself.

A professional is someone who gets paid for his work.

Fisker should have hired someone who knows how to handle this stuff.

That is the trick of tech influencers; they pretend they are not getting paid. But they are.

Now it is probably too late - but yes - before the review - carefully manage, pamper, and pay.

Granted Fisker seems to be run by amateurs but high-impact social media influencers like MKBHD need to be carefully managed, pampered, and yes, probably paid.

Any technical information on how this hack was done?

Does WebEX send its communication in plain text and was the hotel wifi in Singapore comprimised? Or was it the guy's computer? Or something else?

An entertaining piece of YouTube prankism covering the Pine Gap facility in Australia and the history of the US military intelligence in Australia and its relationship with law enforcement and politics.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pine_Gap

The narrator describes the relationship as Australia being completely subservient to the US as something unique but I think if you went to Rammstein or the Thule air base you could do much the same story.

You will probably see european companies integrating with chinese suppliers (like Volkswagen / XPeng etc.); a bit like Tesla. European car markers still have much better brands and sales channels.

BYD is a commercial company with US financing. They are leading in vertical integration and battery tech which allows them to sell at these price points. They are expanding in export markets because they think they can make money not because of "overcapacity".

They also abruptly cancelled their EV-subsidy which probably explains why the share of EVs is dropping.

You would still use floating point for training afaik.

Stay at uni and get another degree.

How is this any difference with using the sign of the amount column to signify debit or credit? Using that approach at least you save a column. Otherwise have explicit debit and credit columns if you want to be "consistent with how accounting is done".

You would also make a smaller car.

Something like the BYD Seagull:

Nothing wrong with Russian gas - something wrong with their invasion of Ukraine.

It is technological innovation. No one describes Moores law as "overcapacity" even if it forces last year's computer to be sold below cost.

For all other markets than the US. Tesla (mostly) produces their cars in China using batteries bought from Chinese suppliers.

Cheap batteries are a world changing technology. This is missing key in making cheap electric cars which solves numerous environmental problems. It also has massive geopolitical implications: A world that runs much less on oil is a very different world.

The idea that this is overcapacity is nonsense. Currently a common electric car costs 40-50K USD, if a desirable electric car can be made at 15-20K USD it will unlock massive global demand.

Neighbour countries like Denmark or Netherlands (which both have aggressively banned Huawei) have much better internet than Germany. So the difference is hardly because of lack of technology. I would chalk it down to Germany being silly conservative and content about its old incompetent monopolies running things.

It took some time but now Germany is finally free from foreign powers surveilling its citizens and forcing it to do things it doesn't want to do.

How many cars do Chinese companies sell in the US? How many cars do American companies sell in China?

Le privilège exorbitant ...

Of course this has not gone to courts yet but it seems similar to what the US did on steel - claiming national security and then deliberately stuffing the Arbitration process when the first court ruled against it.

New foldable Huawei phone also based on the Chinese produced Kirin chip. Looks like a traditional launch with celebrity promotion this time.

In the context of the broader US-China tech war this is important because it shows that Huawei has no problem ramping up production. It was speculated when they launched the Mate 60 that was just a "show off" product that could only be made in low volume due to low yield on their 7nm process.

Of course it is; and it also breaks the US' WTO obligations.

I watched M3GAN last weekend and I would say electronic toys should be the US congress' next focus.

I listed TSMC's biggest customers - and really AMD using Intel foundries? You cannot be serious.

The assumption is that there is going to be a lot more demand. Even after cutting China out which is like 1/3 of global demand. The assumption is that will be driven by AI, mostly in data centers.

Could be. Otherwise Intel foundry services will face an uphill battle vs. TSMC.
