Subsidies are another way to say State planning, which is how you direct the “free market”. No capitalist, which includes China, will “innovate” without being baited with money.

There are massive subsidies in the US as well, but these go into the pockets of the CEOs and political/financial class. If this were to happen in China they’d go missing like Jack Ma of Alibaba until he got his head right.

Great news, thx to all developers/contributors for your efforts!!

odd, I see there are comments available, but can’t see them from lemmy.ml 🤷

She’s killing it! Bravo! someone in government with a moral compass🙌

Because Americans are obsessed with iphones, as a status symbol and “American” product and it’s a default…no effort required.

I’ve got a 3rd gen laying around, I’d be very interested as well:)

Oops, they had no idea;)

Thx

That’s a cool bot! This is a great solution, but I wish more lemmy clients allowed privacy redirects built in

Sounds great, the more options users have the better, I say!

I can understand this is insane for the BoC, but luckily the country does have gold in the ground

So great that you’re doing this!

Hmm, this doesn’t seem like it would store energy for long though right? Once the energy starts flowing in, the wheel magnifies that force I assume, but needs almost constant input right? It’s just meant to deal w hiccups in power outages?

Sadly, it says almost nothing about how these actually work, and the video shows them taking the unit off the truck and onto a concrete pad … that’s it.

Glad to hear it, now re-invest it into public services like healthcare and transit where it’s sorely needed.
