Also worth mentioning that some paid MCP providers offer an actual value added. Sure, I can use curl or a self hosted crawler for web searches, but is it really worth the pain?

Actually, yes, I do. The marginal cost for publishing a study online at this point is essentially nil.

It's gotten a lot better over the last couple of years, but stating that you were offered drugs there is like being offended that you walked past a casino in Vegas.

An efficient market would see an increase in supply to meet demand. This is exactly what happened in Minneapolis, Raleigh, and many cities in Texas, which made it comparatively earlier to get construction permits (in some cases, particularly for multi-family housing).

If you're arguing that there's an abundance of space, this is true in many countries (and was certainly true prior to the Federal-Aid Highway Act or Levittown).

> We have too much space relative to our population and our cultural focus on individualism mean that people will always prefer single family homes

Why? There are plenty of locales in the US where this very much isn't the case.

> Those cant exist without cars and people with cars need to be able to commute.

If we're simply talking about the average daily commute for the average person, why? There are still plenty of cities in the US that have effective public transportation.

Tesla planned on sticking to luxury vehicles and selling electric power trains to companies, like MB, that would handle everything else. MB, as far as I’m aware, thought that Tesla would prioritize this more than they did.

Tesla helped develop the MB B 250e, MB’s first BEV. At the same time, they developed and launched the Model S, which was far more expensive but a complete game changer.

Who knows what happened between this and when MB sold their stake in Tesla, but it’s easy to imagine that both companies became less enthusiastic about their partnership over time.

Heavy subsidies to get the industry up, which are then retracted slowly to force competition.

It’s a well tried model at this point (a century or more, across a large number of countries).

MB had a large stake in Tesla. When they realized that Tesla could out innovate them (Model S vs the B 250e), they sold out.

This is still an economy where ‘digitalization’ is a desirable buzzword.

Not sure what the EU’s strategy is here. The impact of Chinese EVs is going to be the same as electrification would have been without them in the first place.

Think about it this way. The EU automotive supply chain was perfectly healthy when US owned manufacturers had a large chunk of market share. Throw on the tariffs, force local production, and everything is good.

Chinese manufacturers will eventually do the same thing. Tesla and Greely have already done it. There are plenty of recent examples of traditional manufacturers doing it as well (Suzuki comes to mind).

The EU automotive industry is still in bad shape. The level of production and employment across the entire supply chain simply isn’t needed for BEVs.

The ecosystem is simply better. The folks who maintain CRAN do a fantastic job. I can’t remember the last time a library incompatibility led to a show stopper. This is a weekly occurrence in Python.

Is it 1.95€ a day unlimited worldwide, or are there charges on top of that?

Annual meetings are apparently organized by local groups who lobby/compete with one another. China has a very large SciFi readership and the group from Chengdu was very active when it came to lobbying and gathering votes. It wasn’t until later that people started to realize this may not have been the best decision, e.g. with visa applications and so on.

As far as the actual scandal, there’s also discussion about whether there was any actual government intervention or if this was mainly the result of self-sensorship.

Yeah, I don't get it either.

If you exercise regularly and you're going on a cut, 1.6kg is a good target to maintain muscle mass. That said, in order for you to reach this point, you already have to be very good at regulating your food intake.

Otherwise, .9g per kg is a much more realistic target for the 90%+ of people who are simply trying to be fit.

I completely agree, but the ratio of overweight/obese to "I have a slightly high BMI because I lift 4x a week" has to be somewhere in the range of 100-1.
