Re:BYD Sells 4.6M Vehicles in 2025, Meets Revised Sales Goal on Friday January 02, 2026 @09:52AM (#46465292)
Seems like there's an attitude of "If letting BYD sell in Eurozone hurts Tesla, it's good" because people hate Elon so much. However I think the loser from that is going to be all the European legacy automakers who will have to try and chase the high end market to survive.

They're literally using diff/patch under the covers, at least the setup i'm currently using.
US law prohibits Starlink from transmitting into countries that don't permit it, with exceptions as directed by the US Government. If this was not the case, Starlink would have made its product available globally instead of having to seek permission from every country they want to service (called "landing rights")

This is correct. Once the cost to operate Imgur exceeds revenue from ads, all that content is likely to disappear.

No one has mentioned OpenJSCAD, which is the same idea in Javascript: http://openjscad.azurewebsites.net/

A fairly substantial rewrite is underway, the V2 branch linked above.

Re:A website to spend Elon Musk's fortune on Thursday July 08, 2021 @11:46AM (#27773517)
Of course he couldn't dump all his stock at it's current share price, the sudden arrival of that many shares would drive the price down -- but these things aren't really about facts and more about driving an agenda
This is not a measure of gun stores, this is a measure of licensed dealers. Many, many dealers do not operate a "store", so the title is totally misleading.

You're treating it as if transfer is the only cost associated here. Every one of these lines requires consuming a telephone number, which is a fixed cost passed down from the MVNO
Re:Any HN readers have ideas for improving gun safety? on Wednesday January 23, 2013 @10:28PM (#5106991)
You may own guns, but your statement is ignorant of the facts. Assault Rifles are machine guns, civilians in the US have been prohibited from buying any newly manufactured ones since 1986.
