China’s space officials said Thursday they welcomed scientists from across the world to apply to study the lunar rock samples the Chang’e 6 probe brought back to Earth in a historic mission, but noted there were limits to that cooperation, specifically with the U.S.
This is where China's "debt trap diplomacy" might actually be beneficial for Kenya...
China's loans serve to improve the top-line (economic growth), and China's loan concessions don't affect that. When Kenya puts Mombasa Port's 50-year operating and port fees up for collateral, that's a hit on the bottom line (Kenya's government revenues) but does not change the fact that the port still exists to drive economic growth. Moreover, often the short-term hit in port revenues is less than the interest that would've been paid on the loan, so these collateralized loans are often cashflow neutral or even cashflow positive to default on.
The IMF and World Bank are more focused on padding the bottom line (tax revenues) by increasing taxes and decreasing subsidies. What an insane policy.
If a country can't grow, how can you expect it to pay off it's loans? The entire principle of government loans in the 21st century is that GDP growth makes loans progressively less expensive. The IMF and World Bank exist only to keep developing countries poor.
MIT researchers discovered that light can cause evaporation of water from a surface without the need for heat. This “photomolecular effect” could be important for understanding climate change and for improving some industrial processes.
It’s part of a growing resistance to the 2035 measure.
Well, the trade war is also a factor, but what I'm saying is that Chinese government policy is what's keeping EV manufacturers from selling abroad. The EV supply chain has gotten so robust and cost-efficient in China that the government has to bribe manufacturers to focus their efforts on the domestic market instead of just eating the cake of everyone else.
You didn't have to inject your pedantry everywhere either over 10% losses, and yet here we are.
AC/DC converter losses are on the order of 10%. Negligible, and don't change the point. Your pedantry is noted and ignored.
Every single Chinese EV manufacturer wants to go make sales abroad because the price war in China makes profits barely attainable, but government policy and subsidies keep sales within the country.
The open secret is that China's EV subsidies are designed to keep sales within the country, because otherwise Chinese EV companies could make obscenely higher margins selling overseas.
The BYD Seagull ($9700 in China) is being sold as the BYD Dolphin Mini in Mexico... For $21000.

Sanders could've won against Trump in 2016 and he could've won against in 2020. Yet, here we are in 2024...
Lai is a short-sighted idiot that would rather be dependent on external seaborne LNG imports than maintain any degree of energy independence with nuclear.
I don't think I need to say anything about how bad natural gas is.
Vibrant manufacturing-led economy cannot afford loss of reliable power source
"This is the ninth straight quarter of unusually high unrealized losses since the Federal Reserve began to raise interest rates," the FDIC said.
How much internal migration between Crimea and other regions has there been? The population of Crima has hovered around 2 million for decades.
Dividing America by building infrastructure instead of dumping trillions of dollars into the next military superproject.
I shouldn't need to say that not only natural gas bad, but oil also bad
I'm cautiously optimistic that the burger empire will embrace HSR like the rest of the advanced world. America's competition is no longer the Soviet Union, but China.
With half a dozen US rail projects in the works, Andy Byford thinks Americans will soon clamor for 200mph train lines
Heat is actually surprisingly easy to moderate with green spaces, water, shade, and wind.
Unfortunately, roads, roofs, and buildings fuck that all up.
Plant trees along every road. Line every building roof with greenery. Water that greenery, and centrally control how it's watered to create temperature/humidity differentials and thus wind throughout the entire city.
"small creature comforts" like air conditioning and the refrigerants used in them make up 7% of global GHG emissions. How about you take your air conditioning apologism and fuck off?
Can you ban people for spurious reports too thx
The real answer is that most roads are a transient solution as transit gets built out. They should form an auxiliary network, not the backbone of a country's transportation.
In this case Russia shot down everything and there were casualties.
Yay I love little explosive pellets
It's not. Americans just can't live without AC.
Building, or built? Either way, maybe these companies will come out with a better design than Tokamak, but until then they're literally just research ventures because the vast majority of investment at actually scaling fusion is happening for Tokamak tractors.
Rainfall in the Swiss canton of Valais has caused severe flooding, isolating Zermatt and prompting evacuations as authorities raise alert levels.
Hydro-Quebec says it plans to charge higher rates for large homes that use 'excessive' amounts of electricity as part of an action plan to encourage Quebecers to use energy efficiently.
Scorching heat across five continents set 1,400 records this week and showed how human-caused global warming has made catastrophic temperatures commonplace.
The U.S. Olympic team is one of a handful that will supply air conditioners for their athletes at the Paris Games in a move that undercuts organizers’ plans to cut carbon emissions.
China spent $230.8 billion over more than a decade to develop its electric car industry, according to the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
