Having had experience with Chinese cars here in Australia I would definitely pick the models from some (but not all) Chinese brands ahead of what Detroit is selling in Australia these days. (I can think of several Chinese pickup trucks I would pick ahead of the Ford, Chevy and RAM pickups you can get here for example)

A higher up at Microsoft posted on twitter saying the issue was caused by paperwork that these projects didn't do, that all of them were impacted at once because the missing paperwork is tied to a deadline and that Microsoft is working to get it sorted out so these projects can continue.

Are there Chinese cars that are junk? Yes. But there are a number of Chinese brands (BYD and MG for example) that are actually making decent cars (EV and otherwise) now. No they aren't as good as a Toyota but they are better/more reliable/etc than many things sold here in Australia by western auto companies...

I have family that bought an MG EV and they LOVE it.

Google should not be allowed to put messages on its websites saying "switch to Chrome instead" when you access them with a competing browser.

Apple should not be allowed to deny approval for your app store app because it competes too closely with something apple sells.

Amazon should not be able to artificially push people towards its own products (Amazon Basics etc) over other products.

TSMC has had all kinds of problems getting it's US fab going (and that doesn't even do the entire process of making a finished chip) and Intel with its decades of experience in chipmaking has had many problems with its newest stuff.

It would be great to see Musk build his own chips but it's not as simple as buying a bunch of stuff from the ASML catalog...

For a traditional bookmaker, you win if the thing you bet on happens and the bookie wins if it doesn't happen.

But for these prediction markets, the other side of the bet is some other punter, not the house. The prediction markets should in theory not care which outcome occurs since they should make the same money either way.
