Stop there. The costs of today state-of-the-art hype-ware will be lower tomorrow.

In a year, there will be fewer easy to find bug, and models like this will be cheaper.

Doing math based on hardware deployed today is a bit naive.

Assuming any of this is intentional about reducing devs is just dumb.

No foreign investors would put money into US stonks.

It's not impossible, sure, but probably worse than the great depression.

All the ships stuck in the Gulf probably didn't consider the threat impotent.

On the other side: what more can the US do? Target civilian infrastructure? There is no appetite for getting stuck with boots on the ground, and everyone (including Iran) knows this.

You're probably right that it won't a win for anyone. If some of the points includes removing sanctions from Iran, it might be a huge win -- for Iran, or at-least it's population.

Lol, under what definition?

Personally, I have a hard time seeing any good actors here.

But of all the actors, I kind of doubt Israel is in it for the money.

Also the US has fairly strong private property rights.

Do you think Europeans are going to have a problem buying/selling US stonks any time soon?

In developed countries 20-50% of the cost of roof top solar is labor.

But there is are lots of people buying a used car for 10k

Regardless, I do a agree, EV is absolutely the way to go.

I'd rather freeze.

And you have to pay interest on larger car loan.

But in practice, yes, when charging at home EVs are dirty cheap to charge.

The total cost of ownership (toc) for an EV is much lower. But you are paying it all upfront.

Higher prices will drive EV adoption and busses.

In the EU, EVs or public transit is the only long term solutions we have.

You could expect order books to get so thick that production increases.

I mean looking from the side lines, I could see why many countries might want to have a few interceptors on hand. Just in case, it's certainly a nice way to buy some time.

Might there be microscopic layer lines? Or other unknowns you're not familiar with? Making 3d prints that can be cleaned is non-trivial, maybe there is a surface finish involved, etc.

Also how do you know your design is correct? Won't cause your teeth to move? A 3d scan doesn't mean you know what a mouth guard should look like.

All of a sudden, having a product that's made with a vetted process is pretty attractive -- and 600 USD seems like a bargain.

What's the cost of having your teeth fixed, if they accidentally move? (Not to mention the discomfort, which can be considerable)

That might not work with the current administration. Which probably a/the problem.

I kind of doubt it's enough. This wouldn't be another 9/11, it would be merely be retaliation.
