“Patriots” who are either too aloof to get involved or just become traitors along the way to power

Well, all domestic car makers will be in trouble as well. Does any body else make these components other than China?

exanime ,

I found this sub entertaining for like 2 days after I found it…

Later it was clear it was full of people fishing for praise, people rage baiting or just assholes

In any case, like 99.9% of Reddit, it was clearly not good use of anyone’s time

Hollywood can’t ditch its Teslas fast enough: “They’re destroying their leases and walking away” (www.hollywoodreporter.com)

Tesla is reportedly planning a reveal of its self-driving robotaxi on the Warner Bros. lot amid widespread anger in the industry over the brand’s controversial CEO, Elon Musk, resulting in a rejection of its cars.

They just decided he should be paid $56 billion dollars for his contribution… So, not anytime soon

exanime ,

Charity can also be used as a tax avoidance scheme and weaponized for political purposes; this is why the rich love it, through charity they are able to help themselves even further

exanime OP ,

Lol, my daughter is going to have a kick out of your comment

Nano?

exanime OP ,

D’uh… How could I miss that, I use nano and micro all the time. I guess I missed the context switch

Thanks kind stranger

Oh what a cutie

Wow adorable

Health management platforms have to be the biggest waste of money I've ever seen

Clinical information systems and healthcare patient portals are proving to be a significant waste of money. Millions of dollars are invested into developing and maintaining these platforms, often by third-party vendors, to provide patients with online access to their medical records. While the idea behind these portals is great...

You don’t have a clear picture.

My Chart is just a module of Epic systems. If it’s accessible to you, it means your health care provider uses epic as EMR. You data is there, that’s how the hospital or health care provider office works

exanime ,

Such a standard has existed for decades. It’s called HL7

exanime ,

Yes but that is not due to a lack of standard for electronic communication.

Sometimes you have to deal with providers that do not have digital records, sometimes they are old medical records that were not digitized, sometimes the insurance companies do it on purpose to drag things out

exanime ,

Gotta love how the articles frames it. While at work people “kill time” with tik tok but at home they “goof off” folding laundry

exanime ,

I can tell you it wouldn’t… We usually do not have multiple words because they are completely and 100% interchangeable.

It is the exact same message manipulation when a cop outright murders someone the headline often says something super tangential like “Perp lost life in altercation with police”… words matter and you’d expect journalist to know this

exanime ,

I still think it’s overly cynical

Definitely could be… I know this of myself and I have been working on it

exanime , (edited )

Same here… we get one day in the office, I have tried to make the best of it but nobody cares, I find myself there with less than half the team to:

  • hop around until I get a desk where everything I need works
  • get interrupted by people not on my team all the time because why not say hi
  • get complaints because all my meetings are Teams anyway and everyone is mad they hear a crowd when I am not muted
  • Lose 45 mins of my life getting ready and another 1.5 in traffic (round trip) to work less in the office

Developers are usually not bad at naming. Marketing on the other hand…

exanime ,

I bought an umidigi Bison Pro 3, years ago. It’s still going strong with no noticeable issues

I tried to get a custom ROM but they don’t seem to exist, people call this a garbage brand (it may be, I don’t know) but it has served me well and I’m happy to have paid $250 for a fast phone so I can constantly chat with my wife and browse Lemmy… Why would I pay $1000 for a “flagship” phone to do those 2 same, completely non critical, tasks?

exanime ,

Fair. Although Motorola also left me in the dust with my precious phone, but I was able to find custom ROMs for that one

exanime , (edited )

You are correct, but that has happened with American brands (even cars) before

At half the price of other EVs, I bet an entire new class of service stores, half mechanic shop, half third party parts, half mods, would spring into existence if these cars are allowed in the market

Instead, we protect the horrible local brands

exanime ,

Not necessarily. China makes all the fancy stuff Americans are super proud of.

If safety were a real issue, the gov wouldn’t have attempted to ban them based on tariffs

Ps: your entire first paragraph could have been about American meat processors and I wouldn’t have noticed

exanime ,

Ok without devolving to ridicule every message, the point it that just because stuff is made in China, it is not necessarily cheap (as in crappy, low quality or unsafe).

I’d like to know what is unsafe about these cars and whether or not this is a real consideration. So far, all I seem to get is protectionism and platitudes.

exanime ,

Why? doesn’t Toyota, Kia, Hyundai, SaaB and all the non-American brands already do this? why would China not be able to do it?

A ton of the parts for the American cars actually come from China, why would it be harder for China to do what they already do on behalf of the American manufacturers?

exanime ,

Again, not sure why you are so certain about that when China is already manufacturing the parts for the companies you trust to have them

exanime ,

I can find parts for Ford, GM, Chrysler, Toyota, Mazda, etc all made in China. Why does it work for American and foreign companies making every part they sell in China but it wouldn’t work for a Chinese company

And, if that is the case, wouldn’t it make more sense to just force them to establish some corporate headquarters in the USA (as they rest of the brands do)?

exanime ,

But then, how tariffs make all those dangers OK?

PS: sorry but the video is just some Vlogger rant with no evidence presented.

exanime ,

Well, that’s kind of what is happening today with brands started in the USA as well (Henrik Fisker pulled this stunt twice with Karma and the Fisker Automotive)

I do get your point, I just have a hard time dismissing any and all Chinese cars when the collective “we” have no issue dealing with China as long as there is some middle man charging a premium. I also have a hard time understanding how tariffs address any of these issues.

China is stable enough, or so it seems, to supply most of our electronics, electrical components, plastics, tools, mechanical parts, etc etc etc… There is certainly a way to work with them in a stable way.

exanime ,

The middlemen you’re talking about are established brands.

In this case, with the auto industry, yes you are correct. However this same exact thing happens with almost any industry. Just a quick example, I home brew, every single device/machine/vessel I have every purchased from my “local” distributors were all made in China. All of it.

I am not saying your concerns are invalid. I am just trying to see how would it ever be different by just applying tariffs to them. Wouldn’t it make better sense to demand certain guarantees before they are allowed to sell in the USA? How would any Chinese company ever make it to the KTM status you mention?

And to clarify, I am only “defending” China here because something crazy like 90% of what we use today was made totally or partially in China, so to me it makes no sense they are only good when making money for American companies while we pay the middle man

exanime ,

Ok but then we accept anything Chinese made with all the likely human rights abuse, environmental issues, corruption, as long as some American company can act as middle man and take a piece of the pie?

exanime ,

Which again is OK when Amazon and Walmart do it based on Chinese manufactured goods but not when China does it directly? We need better than that!

exanime ,

Yes, I understood… I am just making reference to my prior stance that, for the USA government at least, if Amazon does X is fine, but if a Chinese company wants to do similar, it cannot be allowed… even though, in this example, Amazon is doing the exact same bad thing with Chinese manufactured goods all the same

exanime ,

I believe everything you claim but my question remains… how does American companies, whose entire (or practically entire) production is manufactured in China, avoid those pitfalls?

Most American companies are not known for reinforcing and over engineering their products, the same cheapening out in materials and corner cutting strategies are applied in North America all the time.

exanime ,

I think it may be due to the “against” votes coming from the obvious places (Israel, USA) and a bunch of tiny places most people couldn’t point in a map.

The “curious” ones for me are Panama and Argentina. Curious as in I wonder what their statements to vote against would be

NYPD shot four people - including two bystanders one who is in critical condition - and another cop over a $2.90 fare. (www.nbcnewyork.com)

Police opened fire on a subway platform in Brooklyn during a confrontation with an alleged fare-beater, striking the man cops said was armed with a knife, two straphangers caught in the fray, and one of the firing officers, NYPD officials said Sunday....

exanime ,

That or they are holding for evidence as cops seem to lie all the fucking time

… To the surprise of <checks notes> absolutely nobody

Actually I have a question and I admit knowing nothing of the legal framework here but…

Isn’t it absolutely ridiculous that a not-for-profit entity can exists solely for the purpose of developing a closed-source piece of software, demand to train it for free off copyrighted material, just to switch to a for-profit entity??

Sound 100% like tax avoidance. Like me registering a charity so I can throw a mega concert/party privately, secure preferencial treatment on supplies, get discounts on artists or even free performance and then switch to for profit as I start selling tickets

exanime ,

These companies do not make profit in paper but have already made millions for others.

It’s all smoke and mirrors

exanime ,

You dropped this -> /s

Hopefully it’s because you’d never need one

Oh please, there are hundreds if not thousands of stories about suicide out there and they don’t have warnings

Stop being so overly cynic, trust me, it’s not as edgy as you think it is

exanime ,

Having more experience than you in a topic does not mean projection

Nothing here is about you bud… Self centered much?

I’ll just stop feeding the attention hungry hippo

Oh no! Anyways…

Now, Apple might argue that they’re being environmentally conscious by reducing packaging waste. That’s a fair point,

It isn’t… That’s like not flushing the toilet in a public bathroom to “save water”

exanime ,

By that low bar then, there is nothing special in the video either. It’s not like journalists own the only cameras and access to the internet and accidentally let Miller spew vitriol

Maga mouths can always do that freely, openly and unchallenged on their own. The fact that a simple question made Miller lose his shit and throw a tantrum may not disuade the morons but it definitely is not a win either

Disney built its entire empire on existing/public domain stories. Cinderella, Little Mermaid, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Beauty and the Beast, Robin Hood. The list goes on. Hell even Aladdin is largely located from Middle Eastern fairy tales.

Absolutely, but at least back then they truly added value by tweaking the stories (those original stories are mostly horror stories to our hears) and providing great animation. Nowadays, they buy great IPs and just ruin them; not only they are not adding any value, they are actively taking value away from them
