If Fox News wants to frame it as "capitulation", let them. That's a dirty word to them, and it will affect supporters who were already having second thoughts about how senseless this whole thing is.
Tesla makes a lot of its own batteries, and some from CATL in China. When Biden changed the EV tax credit to only cover cars with US batteries, Tesla was one of the few that could meet it immediately.
Raw materials mostly do not come from the US, though.
Oh, they do, but not as the primary or secondary. You can wrap depleated uranium around the core to capture fast neutrons that are leftover from the rest of the process. Changing the number of layers is how you can dial in a desired yield.
The suspension had to be raised to meet new pedestrian safety standards. This ruined the handling.
They couldn't get the engine they really wanted (a Mazda rotary) and had to go with a GM piston engine instead. Then, new US emissions standards hit and it had to be downrated to meet those. EU models were better, though engine design in general was kinda in the shitter around this time.
People think it's heavy because of the stainless steel, but those are thin panels over fiberglass. Its weight is in the same ballpark as what Ferrari was putting out at the time.
The first alternator they used did not have enough power for all the accessories to be on at once. People got stranded at night because of this, including Johnny Carson (who was an early investor). These were upgraded later.
Then there's some manufacturing difficulties. The early models have creases embedded on each side of the hood. Forming the stainless steel that way often broke it at the factory. Later models have a completely flat hood.
As the company's finances dwindled, DeLorean himself was caught in an FBI sting operation where he was accused of selling drugs to try to keep the company afloat. This ended up being a setup by the FBI--with Larry Flynt coming to the rescue, of all people--but it plunged the company's reputation even more.
It was a shitty time to make a sports car. Lots of stuff happening at once that made them bad at what they are. Make it 5 years earlier or 5 years later and it's an entirely different story. Even that might be generous; 1980s sports cars are known more for their angular looks than actual driving ability. It wouldn't be until the 1990s that companies started to figure out how to work within the new regulations. Then you get legendary bangers again like the Supra MkIV.
The DeLorean was 95% of the way to a brilliant car. The last 5% killed it with a combination of bad market timing and a few questionable parts selections. Most of those issues had been worked out after the first 3000 units, but the company's reputation was in the shitter by then.
The FBI sting was a complete hoax.
There is no saving the Cybertruck. It's poorly built, ugly, and comes from a company run by a narcissist.
if you can solve logic puzzles, you’ll make a decent programmer.
I mean, that's what Google did several years ago. They stopped because data showed it didn't mean anything.
That said, debugging existing code is a more realistic test of what you'll be doing on any programming job, as opposed to writing anything from scratch.
There was some indications that the hardware was done for a while--Nvidia said the SoC was set years ago--but there was issues with the yen/usd exchange rate that were unfavorable to Nintendo. The board seems to have run through a bad case of analysis paralysis to find the "best" time to launch.
They finally break themselves of that, and then a manchild with ultimate power kicks over the entire world economic system.
If it were a question about the tradeoffs of different sort algorithms and how they might apply to a given problem, I would agree. That's not what these interview questions are about.
Tried shipping a GPU to PR from mainland USA once. UPS wanted $60 because they think of PR as international. The USPS will do it for a flat rate shipping box of like $15.
The biological research will certainly be interesting. I wonder about the social aspects of these animals. Dogs are intensely social creatures. Are these direwolves going to behave like the originals? Without being raised by the originals, almost certainly not.
I mean, if you want my radical answer, it's that people would write food blogs because they like giving out recipes in a mutual aid society. They don't care about SEO, because it's just a bother. Traffic will come to them organically or it won't.
SEO as we know it is a hugely marketing driven thing. The recipe blog does it because they want to bring eyeballs from Google search results, which gives them advertising revenue. Google optimizes their rules for SEO to likewise bring in Google AdSense money.
Search engines would exist, but the incentives are all different.
