Think it does also need to be said because there's a LOT of amateur investors here: If you're a person sitting there thinking you'll drop even just a few thousand dollars into SpaceX, OpenAI, etc when they list - you probably shouldn't. You'll very likely be losing it and you're the one about to make someone else rich.
The "Two sides" you're spotting is US posters vs non US posters. It's not exactly a secret that the US has long had a propaganda process going against China with their own citizens. From the outside it's weird how 'cult like' some parts of the US education system come across with things like this. It's similar to the whole socialism = communism = bad fear embedded into US society.
The US obviously isn't the only one guilty of this kind of thing, it just happens to have been one of the most effective.
BYD are genuinely decent cars. And they've skyrocketed in popularity across parts of the world.
In the UK the major car dealers are franchises, and you tend to see for example a Ford garage next to a Toyota garage, and they are operated by the same company. Most of these places have closed one of the branded ones and turned it into a BYD franchise dealership. Theres so many of them across the country now.
I'd take a BYD over something like a Tesla thats for sure - far better cars, it's not even a fair comparison anymore.
I dare say they'll struggle a little more in the US with the whole "China bad" propaganda engrained into society, which is likely why BYD have gone for the agressive expansion in Europe instead.
Meanwhile a huge portion of them are filmed in other countries, edited by brits, staring europeans, etc.
There's a good reason major studios have spent billions on film studios in the UK instead of the US.
Take something like Andor. Filmed in the UK and Spain, with a team of staff almost exclusively from the UK and EU. With a Mexican lead actor, 1 American co-lead, and then tons of British Actors, a few Australians, Swedish, German, Irish, etc.
Very few big movies or tv shows can be classed as "American" these days. They require people and facilities from all over the place.
Hard to care anymore. They made it abundantly clear they dont care about their original audience of makers and education anymore now that the industrial market are so reliant on them. Not to mention the whole crapping all over their customers on social media and then accusing them of some sort of coordinated 'attack' just made it clear they're clueless about their audience.
The price increases were the end of the Pi being a viable option for most application in my eyes.
Downside of it is like all Metabrainz projects they seem to intentionally go and make everything as utterly ugly as possible. It feels like someone there intentionally thinks up ways to make the worst UX possible.
Have you actually used it? Because sometimes is doing heavy lifting there and very rarely is flat out lying. It consistently messes up and hallucinates.
