indeed ... at the point where trade essentially stops, the exact tariff percentage becomes irrelevant.

With +154% USA's tariffs → on 1st degree a $10.00 flags+hats package is now $25.40 ... But on 2nd degree, the hat's crowd will cost much more to the decaying USA.

i like this part :

There’s no specific reason why the reported Chain-of-Thought must accurately reflect the true reasoning process; there might even be circumstances where a model actively hides aspects of its thought process from the user.

Even people don't always say what they think ... and this applies to the few ones who do.

Booby trapped packages aimed to explode in warehouses and eventually in cargo planes across the Atlantic ... i think such attacks will trigger war measures on shipments.

(...) quenching supercurrents in a superconducting YBa₂Cu₃O₇ thin disc exposed to an external magnetic field. Supercurrents naturally form to expel magnetic fields from superconductors. "By abruptly disrupting these currents using ultrashort laser pulses, we could generate ultrafast magnetic field steps with rise times of approximately one picosecond (...)

Such a magnetic field (change) will propagate (at the speed of light in vacuum) during that time (10^-12 s) to a distance of about 0.3 millimeter. So, don't go too far away if you want to see that change happened this fast !

inept demagogue has delusion that crashing the economy makes it better ... go figure.

“The reason why China is making rapid progress today is because we are combining it with actual applications and iterating and improving rapidly in real scenarios,” said Cheng Yuhang, a sales director with Deep Robotics, one of China’s robot startups. “This is something the U.S. can’t match.”

Fixed resistors
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resistor
The TCR of foil resistors is extremely low, and has been further improved over the years. One range of ultra-precision foil resistors offers a TCR of 0.14 ppm/°C, tolerance ±0.005%, long-term stability (1 year) 25 ppm, (3 years) 50 ppm (further improved 5-fold by hermetic sealing), stability under load (2000 hours) 0.03%, thermal EMF 0.1 μV/°C, noise −42 dB, voltage coefficient 0.1 ppm/V, inductance 0.08 μH, capacitance 0.5 pF.

Captured image from the video shows that the hood of the engine compartment had been warped. This means there had been an explosion :

Why sustain all those nasty pink pricks and self questionings when you can simply have hundred or thousand of horrendous deaths so smoothly ? /S

We do agree that the war is bad and we do agree why it is bad.
We will not agree on the causes of the war - - it will take many, many years of peace, for the fog of war to dissipate, on both sides, before we see what really happened.

As long as you are against the war, against the invasion of Ukraine, even if you are pro-russia, we may discuss and agree on things.

After 3 years of senseless war, you must agree it was a bad thing that russia started this war, bad both for Ukraine and for russia.

MediaZona and Oryx ...

These are the sources you gave in this thread ... i can't find anything wrong about those now ... but since you've been banned from this community, maybe someone else will discuss it eventually.

Why don't go straight to Russian television ?
https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/telesur/
A questionable source exhibits one or more of the following: extreme bias, consistent promotion of propaganda/conspiracies, poor or no sourcing to credible information, a complete lack of transparency and/or is fake news. Fake News is the deliberate attempt to publish hoaxes and/or disinformation for the purpose of profit or influence.

Thanks for this detailed analysis.

As for my comment, it was from an extremely simplistic reasoning (that you could call borderline dumb but probably not neoliberal 🤣).
My reasoning was that, if their costs goes up (because of tariffs) and they have to sell at the same price, so, making a loss on every sell, eventually, they would go bankrupt.

unions support the move as a job creator

... until manufacturers go bankrupt
