What most folks in the USA don't understand, BYD manufactures two types of vehicles. One type is for the domestic market (cheaper and dangerous), the other is for export (meets some semblance of safety). I have heard that the export models are built to higher standards and are more dependable, hence the higher price than domestic models.

Unless they are able to create God. There is no possible road to profitability.
These aren't immigrants.
They just have to go to any large corporate campus and take a good look. I know of a particular one in TX where 90% of the IT employees are of one particular nationality and at least 90 % of that group do not have any kind of permanent status in the USA. I am not talking about 100-200 employees, I'm talking about 1000 plus.
There are H1B armies of regular people, doing regular jobs, that require no critical skills, making decent wages, at the cost of the American worker/Graduate. Thank your Gov for allowing corporations to fill their ranks with slave labor. It all starts with a particular kind of CEO, CIO/CTO and it guts the technology department of American employees.
You forgot to mention the translation company he helped found was also acquired by this same CEO. :))
What a display of ignorance. You assume this is just a problem with will power. Have you ever thought it could be related to genetics or hormonal issues?

Are you not aware of the other benefits that have been discovered and are not related to weight loss? Evidence that it helps with arthritis, kidney and heart disease. It appears to also help with addiction like alcohol and nicotine. There are plenty of reasons to make this available to anyone who needs it. It can mean the difference in living a healthier and more productive life for people suffering from other problems and not obesity.

Looks like his startup was some kind of translation service. So yeah he is totally qualified. It's a miracle how Jeetu Patel was able to find Padmanabhan Krishnamurthy or even know that he was under employed languishing somewhere in the bowels of CISCO. I wonder if they know each other from India?
Do you really think NASA has nothing to offer? Elon speaks of MARS, NASA has been there......the moon too. NASA isn't just about rockets.

There are not enough revenue in tokens, etc. The only way AI ever becomes profitable is to replace labor everywhere. That is the only market big enough to make all the spend in AI profitable.

It’s not Apple, Google might associate the account with a country instead of IP address or it could associate the ipaddress with a vpn provider and not a geographic location.
As a American Centrist/Independent , I have always believed that the Pentagon/DoD would always remain in control and be the decision makers when it comes to everything from Intelligence to comms to equipment and ordinance. But after what this Administration has done, I can no longer trust that they will act in the interests of the American people and Americas allies. This Administration has shown the world that America can never be trusted again and any safety mechanisms that were in place to stop foreign adversary control over the Presidency has failed (Republican house and senate). I am sure I am not alone in my feelings and I would encourage Europe to separate its Defense Industry, Economy/Financial institutions, trade, etc as quickly as humanly possible. Trump and the Republicans have shown that there is no friend in America and that with a group as dumb/mentally disabled/uneducated as MAGA, future American Administrations should never be trusted again. As Mark Carney(Canadian PM) has said, "We have recognized from the beginning that America has changed, and that we will not return to our old relationship" It will be one of the most difficult things Europe will face but it will guarantee your survival and protection from American Hegemony.

America is not prepared for modern day warfare, not even close. Russian EW has such a lead that it is frightening. Drone warfare has changed everything. The latest story that was big news was Kostiatyn Vlasenko, 431 days on the zero line. No mans land where traditional extraction was impossible. In Feb his brother died leaving him alone. He ended up being wounded and one foot rotted off over the months and the other he cut off by himself using his knife. Finally extracted via heavy drone in the first of its kind. Several drones were sent with it as protection and at least one was lost but he made it out. This is what awaits America and NATO and they are not prepared and have done little to prepare. Everything is moving underground except the Russian meat waves. Most heave equipment now is obsolete in the gray zone. The West never did what it should have when this started and helped Ukraine end it quickly, they invited a kind of war for the future that they will regret and could be their undoing.

It is too bad Nokia did not segway into Data Centers/NEO Cloud. They could have done it, great infrastructure in Finland and some incredible know how.
How I would like this to go so wrong for Cash App and the Prosecution. 10's of millions in fines but we all know the system protects these Corporations and shitty prosecutors. In the end she will have lost years of her life, her savings, etc with no restitution.

Yes, so much oil is flowing that strategic reserves are being drained and countries are being forced to release diesel stocks.....
The Russian occupied White House will be negotiating for Putin on Ukraine's surrender. Rubio and Vance have no political career left, they as much as Trump have betrayed not only Americans but the world and chosen to support evil and murder.

You're right, who would have thought Republicans/MAGA would embrace pedophilia and rape.
Re:What Russia's doing to Ukraine is 'fine,' Trump says on Monday October 19, 2026 @05:15PM (#50158178)
If your a Republican or a MAGA, this is your legacy. A corrupt and incompetent fool that embraced evil and murder.

Junk away snowflakes.....

Perhaps schools should return to pencils and paper, teach the basics and create strong foundations, focus on academia instead of football.

800 years of Russian history has taught you nothing.

The Russians were successful in seeding Germany. During the USSR, they purposefully sent Russians to East Berlin knowing that long term no matter what happens they will have a foot hold. This is their strategy for over a century, occupy land that is not yours and fill it with your slaves who will always be servants of your Empire of Evil for ever. It really is too bad that many of the Eastern Block countries did not implement forced repatriation of Russians back to Russia after the fall of the USSR.
The White House has been occupied by the Kremlin. A foreign adversary dictates the actions of the President with the blessing of the Republican Party. Republicans everywhere should be asking their representatives why they are not defending the Republic.
