Same pattern as when Japanese auto manufacturers first entered US/EU markets.

They were initially a joke.

Now: not so much.

Decline? What decline?

January data: BEV share +20% YoY

The losses are a problem not even NASA had a solution to!

"During NASA's Space Shuttle program, which was carried out from 1977 to 2011, more than 24,500 tons of liquid hydrogen were purchased, of which 54.6% was used on-board; the rest was lost during storage, loading, or replenishment"

No. It has extremely poor energy density.

by volume, but great energy by mass (3x gas/diesel), but yeah... the tank issue eats that up.

If the EU is serious about breaking up the monopoly, the notarization requirement is what they will go after.

You're basically asking the EU to compel Apple to open up their platform and all their R&D that goes into their toolchains to developers for free at no charge.

I'm doing no such thing.

Apple should be completely free to charge as they like for their toolchain.

But other toolchains will arise. And Apple's doesn't half stand on the shoulder of others.

If that happened to me, I'd regard it as a lucky escape.

That sort of counterparty will abuse you -- like dropping your salary just as you're about to sign.

Everything is a negotiation.

Ah, the investor cash incinerator that is what3words!

Didn’t realize the history of the company prior, apologies.

> The DMA is expected to force Apple to make a range of significant changes to the way the App Store, FaceTime, and Siri work in Europe

I'm not sure that's going to fly. My understanding is that the DMA, like the DMCA, applies to EU citizens wherever they happen to be.

I think Apple has enough lawyers advising them that most likely this is poor/fuzzy reporting and we shouldn’t jump to conclusions about the specifics of how this will all work from external reporting of rumors.

> in Europe

Surely in reality that will mean if your account/device is set to the European region.

EU law applies to residents, not citizens. You don't get to avoid other EU regulations because you're a turk living in france, just like you don't have to follow it just because you're a french person living in turkey.

DMCA is a US law also, GDPR, working time directive, or something would have probably been a better example to go with.

"My arrogance and small-world view is available for hire!"

They could merely be replaced with "I do not like" or "I prefer a different approach".
