I believe they'd be able to sell their vehicles in the US if they were willing to build it here (or Mexico/Canada due to USMA).
If that were the case they wouldn't have the cheap Chinese labor and I doubt the Chinese government would continue to subsidize US build vehicles for the US market.
It'd still be a compelling vehicle but it wouldn't be starting at $33k.
Important to note as part of the issues with Nike is their focus on direct to consumer [1] that left space open at physical retailers for other brands to get distribution and exposure.

How do you know he tanked twitter? It wasn't profitable when he took over and now that it's a private company you don't have insight into the financials.
Whether you like or don't like the politics/policies of the company since he's taken over, it's not clear whether he's made Twitter more or less viable as a company going forward.
This is a really elementary misunderstanding of free market principles. That theory only holds if the market is actually free.
As an extreme example, if they regulated minimum $1000 per ride. No logical person, free market oriented or not, would expect "alternatives" to take their place.
In Amazon-speak, "disagree and commit" means even if you disagree with the decision, you still commit to following the decision whole heartedly. You can't just debate endlessly or put in less effort because your preferred option was not chosen.

I think you can change a setting so it doesn’t take over your phone.
I have access to everything while connected to CarPlay.
2015 for me as well. The episode they did on Hilary Clinton where they tried so hard to make her sound like she's just another friendly normal everyday Jane running for president turned me off NPR. I didn't even mind Hilary as a presidential candidate, just the way NPR did it was so obvious.
And before the gutting of Twitter and management change, this problem wasn't even on the radar to be investigated.
Looks to me like the ability to investigate and respond to problems has improved if you ask me.
That's a totally fair point.
What if instead of posting a link to a blog of a "random person" that summarizes a number of studies, I post the study directly: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30611908/
Title: Daily oral dosing of vitamin D3 using 5000 TO 50,000 international units a day in long-term hospitalized patients: Insights from a seven year experience
During this time, we have admitted over 4700 patients, the vast majority of whom agreed to supplementation with either 5000 or 10,000 IUs/day. Due to disease concerns, a few agreed to larger amounts, ranging from 20,000 to 50,000 IUs/day. There have been no cases of vitamin D3 induced hypercalcemia or any adverse events attributable to vitamin D3 supplementation in any patient.
What would you say to this here?
Thanks for the additional info!
Do you know where you heard of this link between high Vitamin D levels and improved mental health? If you do, can you share it?
This says 30,000 to 50,000 IU is fine: https://vers.substack.com/p/doctors-are-idiots-vitamin-d-meg...
https://vers.substack.com/p/doctors-are-idiots-vitamin-d-meg...
According to the evidence provided here, 20000 IU/day is safe.
I recently came across this: https://vers.substack.com/p/doctors-are-idiots-vitamin-d-meg...
He recommends anywhere from 10,000 to 50,000 IU per day which he backs up with studies. N of 1 here but I have a friend who started taking 30,000 IU per day and feels great.
I agree. Kim has her faults but I don't recall a time when she has been an asshole to anyone.
I think this shows that the commenter is biased and doesn't have the full picture.
but completely ignore the changes we have seen in China in the last 20 years (I would argue is part of the "democratising" of wealth).
To argue from Thiel’s perspective, I believe he sees the US as the leader in “zero to one” technologies and China as mostly “1 to n” technologies. Therefore, he focuses on pushing/keeping the US on this frontier, that’s also where he has the most influence.
I don’t think he would say there have absolutely been no breakthrough technological improvements, just not enough. I would imagine if you asked him if the advances in solar power was a great achievement he would say yes. But he would also say we still spend too much time and money building the next mobile app that marginally improves on the status quo.
I also don’t see him as a historian of technological progress, carefully documenting the wins and the losses in his writing and speeches. He’s trying to push a narrative which I think is broadly true but obviously has the pitfalls of any subjective opinion.
I'm for destigmatizing mental illness so that people who need the help don't have to face that barrier to getting help. However, could it be that the focus on mental health is in a perverse way making things worse?
The way it is analogized here [1] was interesting to me:
"If we told people that fear of flying was something everyone struggles with, that it was the result of what others have done to them, or structural racism or whatever, I’m sure we’d get more of it. Imagine further if TV, music, and movies taught kids that fear of flying made them deep and interesting, and schools and universities had fear of flying awareness weeks. This is pretty much the modern approach to mental illness."

Yeah so when I start a call, I swipe down from the top right and there's a tile that lets you select the mic mode.
This tile shows up when any calling app is active. So it works for FaceTime or even third party apps like Google Meet. Good luck!
Any word on Canadian iPhone 14 models?
On the iPhone I turn on voice isolation and 99% of the problem goes away. Have you tried that?
Chipotle United plans to ask the NLRB to file an injunction that would prevent Chipotle from closing the Augusta store and allow the union election to go forward.
What does this mean practically?
What happens if they unionize and they decide to close later? Is this Chipotle location forced to remain open indefinitely?
I see in your other posts you’re saying 1 in 10 men you find attractive. Also that you’ve dated unemployed men.
So maybe it isn’t standards in terms of income, occupation, etc. that’s holding you back. It seems like you’re using attractiveness as the first filter. Which most people do when finding a mate. But given your age and your goals, maybe you should give a chance to more of those that you don’t find meeting your attractiveness bar. Treat it like a arranged marriage perhaps, arranged marriages often result in fulfilling lasting marriages (with kids!) that I’m sure didn’t start with outright attraction.
What has led those 120 potential partners to not work out?
From what you’ve described here, you’re quite the catch. Is it that belief that is leading you to have too high of standards for your mate?

“If you’re not willing to go too far, you’ll never go far enough.”
This might be controversial but this is why I like Python a lot. It just allows me to think about the problem without wrangling with syntax.
My Masters program of about 30 people were all given 2018 MacBook Pros in August 2018. We've all been using it as our primary laptop since then and there has one keyboard problem that Apple did end up fixing.
I've also spilled maybe half a cup of water directly the keyboard of my 2017 MacBook Pro and it still works just fine to this day (I've since given the laptop to my dad).
Just hoping to add some more data to the conversation.
I'd love to use your app (even pay for it) if you ever get it out on iOS!
