That makes sense, thank you

Really confused at the business owner saying his company is paying the tariffs. Did they get into a contract with a clause that makes the exporter bear the tariffs+fees to the destination country?? More likely I'm guessing that the buyer just sent a call saying the deal is off or had a strict price limit, but if it's the former case that's some remarkable business sense and foresight 🤦‍♀️

(I suppose it's also possible that China's tariff policy works a little differently. I'm not an expert on the subject)

Past a point, your instructor/professor only has so much time to read through everyone's papers, and it's easy to waffle. If there's no limit and a student turns in a 500 page write-up when the expectation was 50, that student's paper will take a lot more time to process through. Enough students do that, and what was supposed to take one week to grade now takes considerably longer, which is a big problem when there's extra curriculum to go over.

Wouldn't be surprised if there's wiring and shit in the tailgate that's not cleanly removable without snapping cables

Me? Reading that there's a drop-in replacement function for the one that was deprecated, in the error message? Why I'd never!

On the corollary, someone's feelings can be a very important factor in addressing a situation. If you are to operate purely on logic, that logic needs to take into account the psychology and feelings of others when making a decision to maximize your intended effect. Doing something that "needs to be done" but pissing everyone else off in the process might lead them to undo your work purely out of spite, even if you were correct in your initial assessment.

Once a business enterprise reaches a size where it can afford to influence government policy to benefit said enterprise at the expense of its competitors, it's in that business' best interest to do so. A business which plays by the rules and behaves ethically will be usurped by one that's willing to bend the rules into its favor.

Once things reach this point, the line between government and corporation blurs, and you get a state that will prioritize private gains of its corporate lobbies and bribes instead of the gains of its people and the health of society as a whole.

Therefore, ruthless and totalitarian antitrust of private enterprise must be incorporated to ensure a fair market with competition and choice can flourish, should you wish to go that route. Your business makes up so much as 1% of your industry's domestic output? That business needs to be broken up into like 4 pieces.

Maybe the onus should be on LLM developers to filter out trash like this from their training datasets

At any rate, it's extremely unhelpful to not include a version number at the very very least

Just don't leave fingerprints on the bottle :)

Unless your vehicle has particularly bad emotions, generally speaking that's the recommendation. All vehicles have a front-facing emissions cost from their manufacture; EVs having more due to the battery materials. While it's better in the long run to have an EV on the roads than a gas/diesel, there is value in maintaining an existing vehicle.

Like, I'm not sure how to properly convey the point but there's something about reducing the market demand for a new car and its environmental impact. If someone were to trade in their old vehicle and buy a new one every few years (which is unfortunately pretty normal in the US for middle class'folks), they'd actually have a worse carbon footprint buying EVs because of those front-loaded emission costs.

The best step towards a greener future is cutting out unnecessary production rather than chasing the next gadget that's supposed to save the world.

At that level of wealth, it is easy to insulate oneself from anyone who would actually give helpful advice, and even easier to find oneself in the company of yes men suckups.
