Not only they warned him. Reports are Tesla design department out of their own initiative and knowing how bad the proposed cyber truck was developed and alternate "sane" Tesla electric pickup truck proposal. When they tried to suggest it to Elon he reportedly didn't want to here none about it and got mad.

He told the design boss just to make the existing design work. As we can see that didn't end up going well.

Doesn't matter that parties aren't mentioned. Political parties are inevitable predictable outcome of the ruleset.

Also actually one of the biggest fixes USA could have is getting rid of single winner elections districts. Well President has to be single winner (though again why the heck electors should be single winner or even better why have electors in first place). However there is no reason to have single winner legislative body elections, since there is large number of members anyway. Only reason it is that way is, because Congress decided to make law about it.

Since one key truth is: there is only so much one can do with the ruleset to make things fairer while having just single winner. All the other votes get wasted by default, except the winner. The only amount of power one can win is 100% or 0%.

To have better proportionality one has to use multiple winners (or mixed member proportional, which is still multiple winners just indirectly via the party quotients). Since it allows dividing political power in more granular amounts than 0% and 100%. Like say 33%, 25% or 20%.

After that one can start talking, we'll how should we allocate the winner of each for example 25% share of power in the district.

This would also increase political activity, since previously apathetic voters would know "my candidate doesn't have to carry the whole district, we are just aiming to get 1 of the 5 seats. That is much more achievable. Yeah the big two probably grab say 2 each, but hey with good luck there is realistic change we get that 1/5".

Where as there was snowballs chance smaller player could take a single winner district as whole.

Lot of people don't seem to understand how multiparty parliamentary coalition democracies work.

PiS was still biggest "oh dear". Doesn't matter, what matters is who can pass the confidence vote in Parliament and based on current estimates, PiS can't.

Oh since you seem to be Polish, who is likely to be put up as PM candidate by the new coalition to the Parliament to vote. I would assume Donald Tusk? Then again I know pretty much nothing of Polish politics.

already enacted, vote went through in July. However the "come to force" of the earliest part of the regulation is 2025 and the replaceable battery mandate come to force date is 2027. However I would assume stuff starts going with replaceable battery 2025-2026, since by 2027 it's illegal to not have that for on sale item. So one would transition year or two early to have ones retail and supply chains empty of the old non-replaceable stuff to avoid having unsold stock or get hit with punishment for being caught selling non regulation items*. So you want the replaceable battery products designed and in production before 2027.

Also one key I would point out, that is often left out. It doesn't only cover phones. It covers pretty much all battery powered electronics. SO lots of those other small electronic gadget with built in Li-ions will start sprouting battery covers or possibly moving back to their old power of choice, banks of AAs. Since those are inherently replaceable. Well plus non-recycleables aren't covered by the regulation. However also the maker can argue their green credibility with "well customer can put rechargeable AAs in it. Then it's a replaceable battery product."

* Well in reality one's retail partners would refuse to accept the stuff for sale, since upon it being on sale at their shelf it's now their ass on the firing line by regulators.

Also I would add inflation went up, prices jumped. Meaning not so much free spending cash any more. People might have previously had the cash to update phone, just for sake of update even without it being necessary. Now days? People have way more important things they have to spend more money on.

Heck it is say for example straight up the plan in Europe. Since say for example there is no getting away from IG Metal for all German makers. Since IG metal literally covers pretty much whole industrial manufacturing and so on.

So they just immediately went "IG Metal, workers of the company, now don't go doing anything rash.... we have retraining program planned".

Remember this was what Herbet Diess of VW got in trouble in part. Saying to Wolfsburg of "large fraction of you should be just unceremoniously fired, we need more cost efficiency". Though his main fall was the mismanagement of Cariad and software delay resulting. Which caused the cardinal sin of any big legacy car CEO.... Announced launch and delivery dates were not kept. Out he goes unceremoniously.

I found it funny how some were going "The CEO is talking truth to power, the need to cut workers, don't you understand". You don't do that in place like Germany. You can't get away from IG Metall. They can make CEO's life living hell, if "employee-employer" relations are not at least on tolerable stance. Even the comments were from union side of caliber CEO seems to be dumb and doesn't understand how things are done here in Germany.

Work force is the main asset. Meaning retrain. Combustion engine labs will be soon instead studying most efficient heat pump setups, most efficient electric motor windings and most importantly Battery pack and cell optimization. The casting plant, that cast and machined engine blocks. Congratulations you are still casting "engine blocks", only now these new engine blocks are called "electric drive unit housings". Assembly people are moved from assembled double clutch gearboxes and engine valve trains to assembling electric drive units and battery packs. So on and so on. The gear cutters who cut transmissions, well we still need reduction gearings and say differentials and so on.

Depends how deep the lines are. They have breached the first line at some points. However as per ukrainians, after the first line is the second line and so on. Russia knows how to make deep defences and anywhere, where they lose one line, they will adjust and start added more lines to the rear to compensate for the lost line. First line lost, second line is now first line, third line is second and so on and add the new Nth line, since the old Nth is now Nth-1 line.

It will be a slow slug and battering ram fest, unless Russian army morale breaks/ supplies exhaust and they run.

i don’t agree that it keeps users locked in. convenience wise it should be alot easier with e-SIM, technically you should just be able to open up an app and install a new e-SIM and voila your on a new provider.

As long as the phone maker and the phone service company play nice. The whole point of physical sims is. "you break your phone screen and phone? You can literally in the minute borrow your buddy's phone, slap your sim in it".

Why would it matter? For example here in Finland we have this thing called The Mobile ID. Which is commercial high security identification method, that works on the SIM. It's user interface is the phone, but the actually crypto and logging works on the SIM. Just as with PIN number, the phone is just keypad to tell the SIM the security code to unlock it and operate. Not only does it work on SIM, due to security it is tied to the SIM. Each ID is a cryptographic key living physically in the SIM. never to leave it. public-private key exchange between the authentication server and SIM. on first boot/activation, SIM generates in-situ the private key, sends the public key to phone company, normal registrations hand shakes. Only thing anyone else has is the publickey. they private key lives it's live in the SIM and just on getting signatory request and then correct unlock PIN signs the request and sends it back.

Which again means in the "oh my phone broke" situation means I haven't lost my mobile ID. Just yank the SIM out of the husk of the broken flagship expensive smart phone and slap it into the cheapest 30 euro "I make calls and send text" budget phone. Still works just as well. Any phone you find (that isn't SIM locked) will work, since as said the ID is the SIM, the phone is just keypad interface.

Also physical external sim allows physical update of the crypto processor. with eSim, if there is hardware fault or vulnerability found with the eSim, you are toast. With physical sim? So sorry customer, there has been vulnerability wound with the Sim crypto. Do you come to visit nearest operator store to get your new sim for your phone or do you want it sent by mail. Specially on say long lasting equipment... It is a very good thing there is a physically exchangeable cryptographic component. Rest of the equipment isn't toast, just because someone cracked the SIM crypto.

Pretty sure your uncle doesn't drive his back hoe 120km/h down a public road. Also atleast where I live back hoe equipped tractor needs to be licensed, driven by tractor licensed person to travel down public road. If it isn't so, it needs to be trailer loaded from work siteto another.

Also tycally to commercially operate heavy machine either industry regulation or just business sanity demands trained operators.

I would note, you don't need drivers license to drive a car on private closed road. Go crush oneself in car volt on private yard all one wants, the issue is untrained person driving on public road endangers others. That is why there is also demand for traffic insurance for the other parties damages, not ones own damage.

Well.... Iceland has ocean warmth due to gulf stream and is a literal vulcanic Island. Heck Island doesn't have heating problems, they just capture heat from the hot springs created by the vulcanism.

As such Iceland is kinda misleading as is Greenland. Iceland has less ice than greenland. Though Iceland is not green, more like black given all the volcanic basalt.

Though most heat pumps are also air-conditioners. All it takes is a 4 way refrigerant redirection valve manifold. Heat pumps don't just advertise it as headliner, since the main point is energy savings in the heating. One doesn't get energy savings in the cooling. When switched to cooling, its just an air-conditioner. Same old power hungry airconditioner.

Heat pumps just list in the side sentence "oh you can also run this heat pump in cooling mode in addition to heating mode. Note: the inefficient energy use, when being run in cooling mode."

Yes... but would Tesla be so open about "yeah this update was about a safety flaw in the cars control software". Since that is what OP was saying on my reading. Yeah the OTA might fix the things, but all you might get from unscrupulous car maker is "we did feature improvements on the drive train algorhitmics". Said improvement being "we removed feature called critical bug from the software". However the last part they wouldn't tell you. Well now they have to.

Since the Recall is not about the database really or the name. It is about the underlying law and regulation, that demands car makers to notify safety authorities upon finding a safety flaw or issue with their vehicle and to not lie about it. Withholding such discovery under recall laws is illegal and to make a point companies have been punished under that statute. So not like it is a solution looking for problem. Oh there was a problem. It is only natural. No maker wants to admit bad stuff about their product, if they can avoid it. However safety recall notice regulations says "own up immediately upon finding an issue or face penalties."

Again this isn't about "Tesla bad". Since most of the "you hid safety flaws" is the big old legacy conglomerates. However for this system to work no one is above the law. Everyone has to own up to their safety issues, including Tesla. Might they also be equally open without the law? Well we would need alternate universe to find out. Since Tesla has operated all it's existence under safety notice laws. So we don't know how they would behave, if they had a choice. Given example of legacy auto... probably not so well. big business gonna big business.
