China's BYD set to overtake Tesla as world's top EV seller

Buffalox @lemmy.world 3h ago

Tesla is on the way down in every major market China/USA/EU, So it won't be long before Tesla isn't number 2 either. VW is clearly the leader in EU, but they are not so strong in either USA or China. So maybe Hyundai or Toyota will be the next brand to surpass Tesla?
IMO VW group has the best affordable EV's currently, I just bought a VW ID.4 last month, but if I had the money, I would have bought a BMW or Mercedes. But the ID.4 is still a very nice car and I'm quite happy with it. 😎
In a few years Tesla will probably be behind BYD, Geely, Xpeng, Toyota, Hyundai and VW group.On the technology they are already way behind the Chinese brands on charging, and VW, BMW and Mercedes on quality. Probably also behind Hyundai.Toyota is only getting started on BEV, so I'm not really counting them yet. But I am confident they will compete in the top soon.

'We are in trouble:' Former Russian general openly criticizes the Kremlin over the war in Ukraine, mocks Putin as 'a guy living in a fairy tale while the rest of the country is struggling to survive'

Yes you are right, funny since they come in fish oil which AFAIK is mostly saturated fat.Omega 3 6 and 9 are very hard to get from unsaturated sources, despite apparently being polyunsaturated themselves?I edited my previous post to hopefully be more accurate.

~~Basically all the essential fatty acids we can't do without are saturated. We NEED saturated fat, we don't need polyunsaturated fatty acids~~ or monounsaturated or sugar or any form of carbohydrates.It's absolutely insane how saturated fat that we need to stay healthy is vilified, while the other stuff that is definitely harmful and we DON'T need, gets a pass.

Edit:Omega 3 and 6 are actually polyunsaturated, but mostly available from fish and animal sources, so they generally come with mostly saturated fatty acids.

‘It’s surreal’: US sanctions lock International Criminal Court judge out of daily life

Jump

Buffalox @lemmy.world 18h ago

It's been time to react for decades, but people and politicians are so stupid they didn't because USA is our "ally", but if they really were our ally, they wouldn't pull shit like this. They also wouldn't make illegal surveillance in and against allied countries, with the purpose of influencing or countering politicians from allied countries, circumventing the democratic process of said countries.

USA is an enemy of democracy, and has been for decades.

USA is a rogue state, the fact that they do these things administratively is complete disregard for human rights and complete disregard for the concept of operating within the law.It is yet another example of how USA does not respect civil rights of people of other nations, and they don't respect the sovereignty even of "allied" countries.It's disgusting, and it has infuriated me for decades how we in for instance Europe has allowed USA to do this, without as much as criticism.

There is no way it can be considered acceptable that USA can apply pressure on what a judge of a sovereign country or international organization decides. Not a judge or any politician or public servant or any private citizen for that matter.But the fact that USA has the audacity to go after ICC judges, shows the extreme level of entitlement and exceptionalism USA feel they have in the world.

USA MUST be treated as a rogue nation, and we can't allow them to continue. If Amazon does this, we need to ban Amazon in EU.And fuck all the idiots that use Amazon cloud services, you should get the fuck away from American services already. It's been crystal clear obvious that they operate illegally according to EU law at least since Obama was president!Why the fuck are people still using their crap!

The man taking over the Large Hadron Collider – only to switch it off

Jump

Buffalox @lemmy.world 21h ago

Rubbish, I just made an estimate based on the Swiss Frank was a bit lower value than GBP, and I know GBP is higher than USD. The result is close enough, So I didn't bother making an accurate calculation. So I used the value the poster before me posted to calculate the number of colliders Nvidia is worth.

Nvidia is about 4.5 trillion, 15/4500 = 0.0033 But maybe you accounted for exchange rate, so it probably checks out.So to put it another way, the total value of the worlds by far most valuable company, is equal to 238 Future Circular Colliders.I think that actually demonstrates how expensive that collider is!

Denmark becomes first country in world to end letter delivery

To me it sounds weird to "apply for an official online service". We have access to all public online services through the same login we use for banks and the official public digital mail service.No matter if it's tax, health, prescription renewal, the bank or whatever, we login through the same login service, and every danish citizen automatically has access to all public services without applying and without delay.Even people who are not citizens, like for instance exchange students are issued access to this system.

Jump

Buffalox @lemmy.world 1d ago

They are planning a replacement for LHC:

The frontrunner is a colossal machine called the Future Circular Collider or FCC.

and:

starting in the late 2040s, would collide electrons into positrons, their anti-matter partners.

It's just a very very tiny experiment. 😋

The first phase will cost an estimated 15bn Swiss francs or £14bn.

Scientists love expensive toys, the smaller you want to go, the more expensive the equipment.I hope this goes through, if we want to advance our understanding of the world, we need science to figure it out.

Fuck every American that voted for this. And fuck them twice when they claim they didn't, because they didn't think this would happen when voting for Trump. People were warned loud and clear, claiming ignorance is not a valid excuse.

You can still send letters as before, it's just another company handling them.

Letter deliveries continue as always, it's just another company delivering the service.The company taking over is already in the parcel and morning paper delivery service, and letters today are so few in Denmark, that they can probably take that up pretty easily.Letters are so rare here that last year our household only received 3 letters, and 2 of them were small medical test kits, that would probably have been cheaper to send as parcels. So in reality I count it as only 1 letter, and the previous year I don't recall receiving a single letter!

Trump Says Construction of His ‘Triumphal Arch’ Will Begin ‘Sometime in the Next Two Months’

Jump

Buffalox @lemmy.world 2d ago

Trump's Triumphal arch is a joke, it has no symbolism of any value, where for instance the French "Arc de triomphe de l'Étoile" has double significance as praising the success of the Napoleon army, and as a symbolic memorial place for the unknown soldier, and today it has become a historic landmark.

What Trump is doing is putting up a huge piece of garbage of no value and slab his own name on it.It's a cheap copy of "the original" in Paris, both in concept and design. Much like a cheap Chinese copy of a Vuitton designer piece.Trump has no style and no class, only someone completely without any sense of either could think such a project is cool.

Britons making sure the decline after losing the Empire, and later after Brexit continues.Xenophobia and exceptionalism combined is probably the most direct route to decline of a civilization.It's weird how USA and UK are messing up completely like they are dancing a weird dance of death together.
