<p>Paper trail stuff.
But more importantly, when the first set of executive orders reducing tariffs rates went out, it conveniently mentioned Japanese investments but did not include tariff reductions for Japanese goods.<p>So the Japanese government pointed at the written agreement and told the trump admin to get their shit together.
A few days later, the tariff reductions on Japanese goods was hastily added on.</p>

For my first 3 months it was obligatory to show up to the office.
The office was basically a apartment room, and very small. But it got the job done.</p>

I was 30 minutes from a presentation, and couldn't figure out why my code couldn't get the key from the hosting service.<p>So I just hard coded the key. The key was rotated after the presentation.<p>Does not look very good on a repo.</p>

<p>Just the short demo videos on their website.<p>Their example of the music app. You have a translucent bar showing the currently playing music app.<p>It gets harder to read when it overlaps with the background music album covers. I can very easily see a situation where you need to scroll to an empty bit, just to be able to read what it is actually playing.<p>Now, imagine you have a visual impairment. It's already hard to read with mostly normal eyes.
This will be impossible for anyone with bad vision, probably even worse if colorblind.<p>It is genuinely unreadable, and a mess visually.</p>

<p>No car advertising lane keeping or emergency breaking, would punch through that wall. Regardless of whether it's a simple poster, or a Styrofoam wall.<p>Because emergency breaking should just work, regardless of mode.</p>

<p>That should also be entirely irrelevant.<p>It's emergency breaking. There shouldn't be differing results on whether you paid an extra $8000 usd or not.<p>FSD does not advertise better emergency breaking as a feature. (Last I checked anyway.)</p>

<p>He's testing emergency breaking.
It's not some pay-to-receive service surely? It should be always on, regardless of Autopilot or FSD.<p>It has come as a default feature with many new vehicles in the modern age.<p>Are you trying to say that Tesla's FSD emergency breaking and AutoPilot emergency breaking are different? 
It's emergency breaking. None of that should matter.<p>And if it does matter, we are dealing with the possibility that Tesla is selling a deliberately worse product at a lower price point, in exchange for risking the lives of drivers and passengers.<p>There really is no meaningful difference here, because the result SHOULD be the same, regardless of what feature was enabled or disabled.</p>

<p>My understanding is that negative press of apple gets you blacklisted from media events and early review devices.<p>The advertising deals with apple are not that lucrative, iirc.<p>So bad reviews are avoided to ensure the media gets the early review clicks.</p>

<p>In the case of Japan, it's likely an issue with Japanese regulations.<p>We have a very strict radio law that applies to anything that can produce radio or em waves<p>That includes motherboards, since they can technically emit on those frequencies.<p>From what I have seen, the framework laptop motherboards appear to abide by that law.

<p>That's interesting.<p>Japanese discussions I have had, and articles in Japanese seem to say the opposite. That Japan needs to invest more; because many talented Japanese researchers are emigrating to the USA or China.<p>The main topic that comes up is that both China and the USA provide better wages, as well as greater funding for projects overall.<p>But I'm just a local, and certainly not a researcher.
Thanks for your POV!</p>

<p>Ok, but the iphone isn't remotely the same situation, work load, stress or risk; compared to a car.<p>I relatively consistently mistype on a touch screen keyboard. That's not too much of an issue.<p>However, me taking my eyes off the road in a car, (stationary or not) to fiddle with a touchscreen is a major risk. 
I personally just enjoy the fine tuning I can do with physical controls.
And the best part, I don't need to look at the control to use it.
With a touch screen, sight is a requirement.</p>
