Comment Re:Used/old tractor makers are doing fine. (Score 1) 22

Chinese machines are already making inroads where they aren't banned. You can get a lot of decent construction equipment from there too. That's the danger here, by the time Western companies get around to producing EV tractors with all the advantages they bring, the market will be saturated with mature and competitively priced products.

As for durability, some EVs have proven to be very fixable. Nissan Leafs are a good example. Relatively simple, not difficult to work on, drivetrain that is separate from everything else and highly maintainable. Again, the Deeres of the world are screwing themselves with all this DRM bullshit that stops people fixing their products.

However, given the authoritarian nature of the Chinese government, those numbers could shift.

Yeah you can't trust USA numbers for anything these days. Oh wait yeah China's the discussion. It's hard to keep track with all the authoritarian governments fucking up statistics these days. What were the jobs numbers for October again?

In that case it's just statistics that make things look good like all the hallucinations of Rob Jetten.

Yeah the Chinese EV rise is a complete myth. It's just a complete coincidence that transport based emissions are dropping, overall emissions have peaked, fuel use is declining despite an increase in the number of vehicles and higher traffic, and that for the first time this century Beijing had so little smog they could see the mountains.

Nothing at all to do with the "booking scandal" which showed that EVs are a myth rather than actually being an incredibly minor and brief quirk in a large industry.

Cloudflare should just stop it's traffic to Japan and close it's Japan branch.

Or they could appeal and possibly win allowing them to continue serving a region with 123million customers without issue.

The "they could just leave" crowd are usually insanely short sighted as to why someone decided to go there in the first place.

On the one hand they were posted to Youtube so significant level of control has been given up.
On the other hand unlisted videos are at the initial mercy of the distribution rights of the person who uploaded them. They don't show up in feeds or video lists unless they were explicitly shared by someone so calling them "public" is a bit of a misnomer.

It's like your bedroom is "public" simply because someone could in theory look through the window. Or that your favourite music becomes "public" when you bought it. Both are not considered public by law, copyright or otherwise.
