And then they will complain that Chinese company are simply crushing them... As a European, I have been buying only Asian cars for ages as I don't want to play their "add options" game, and I think that more and more people are tired of that.

Is it me or mods are actively hiding everything that is critical of the current admin? This post is 6 hours late, 308 points and at the bottom of the 3rd page. This is not the first post that is either flagged or just made invisible. Is HN still a place we can trust?

Referring to 'unelected officials' highlights a misunderstanding of how the EU operates and getting really tiring. They are named like most executive of other countries and confirmed by the EU parliament. The French prime minister is even more an unelected official than a EU commmissioner.

EU + UK line are going to disappear when the new EU passport check (ESS) and electronic travel authorization (euphemism introduced by the US to call a visa) will come into force. And now that EU citizen have to do the same for UK it will to just transform a quick Eurostar travel in a big headache.

5 years ago, the value of companies listed on the LSE was 2 times the size of Paris. Now they are almost equal (Paris was first in 2023). In 2024 only 18 IPO took place on the LSE, the lowest number in the last 20 years. London is still the major place for financial services but other European center are growing faster.

The Republican party is also flipping seats in the Senate and the House, yet you seem focused on Harris. It's not that people are voting for other Democratic candidates, the country is simply becoming more conservative as people leaning on left are simply not voting.

Sometimes you are going to loose a lot of time trying to make a ChatGPT solution work when Google would have provided right away the right answer... Just yesterday I asked ChatGPT for an AWS IAM policy. ChatGPT-4o provided an answer that looked ok but was just wrong, tried to make it work without success. Just Googled it and the first result provided me the right answer.

Ok yes the video will not play on it's own if you point to the link directly. However this is a news site, and if you click on the main page that link to that article then the video will autoplay. This is a way hundreds of website are using to bypass the no autoplay rules.

No Just did the test before posting on my ipad pro to make sure it was still the case. Music + advertisement on Reddit -> no more music (and the same with the autoplay videos on 2 news sites)

Sound management is a nightmare... you put some playlist on Music and start to surf the web with Safari only for the music to be interrupted because whatever random web site has a video on auto-play... Seriously?

No if you operate in the EU you have to comply that's it. If you buy something from Joe the farmer in PA, you are the one importing it (you are paying the custom duties) and Joe the farmer doesn't have to comply with anything related to GDPR. If Joe the farmer wants to sell directly its product in the EU (not from the US) then he has to comply.

Funny that you mention France when the USA is #1 in the world for corporate spying. Having been involved in western Europe for deal where US competitor were given "advantage", USA spying was always number one concern over all other countries (and this is how counter spying agencies brief companies) as it had more direct economic damage and is more difficult to identify than Chinese spying.

Few examples just for Airbus every few years you get report of US spying: * https://www.dw.com/en/airbus-fires-16-over-suspected-german-... * https://edition.cnn.com/video/news/2015/05/01/airbus-spying....
