politics @lemmy.world•Americans are Now a Target in Trump’s Immigration Crackdown
49·2 days agoAlways been a risk with ICE and the Border Patrol. About 1% of deportations have long been of US citizens. You need to get a friend to bring your proof of citizenship and try repeatedly to come home if that happens. A lawyer helps too.

310·2 days agoFor US citizens, that’s not so true. People do seem to be getting no-bills from grand juries and acquitted at trial.

World News@lemmy.world•Fertiliser disruption from Iran conflict prompts global food shortage warnings | Prices have jumped and exports been hit as war puts pressure on one of the world’s largest producersEnglish

politics @lemmy.world•To Cut Housing Costs, Some States Are Easing Fire Safety Rules
1·6 days agoYeah, its not completely crazy for less-tall buildings where a ladder can be used for rescue if the staircase is unsafe. Some places allow single-stair where that’s possible and it might moderately reduce construction costs

News@lemmy.world•The Dangerous Munitions Mismatch Between America and Iran | The United States has only so many expensive missiles to send after Iran’s cheap and plentiful arms.
8·6 days agoI treat numeric estimates of launchers destroyed very skeptically. The US has a history of double-counting and counting decoys.
I do expect that a lot are being destroyed, but its a very far cry from that to claiming that the Iranians won’t be in a position to have a lot go through in a few days

14·7 days agoGlobally, the Chinese automakers are taking a huge chunk of market share.
They’re effectively banned in the US, which is why you can’t buy a decent new car for $7000

News@lemmy.world•U.S. Automakers Risk Being Reduced to Niche Producers of Gas Vehicles
14·7 days agoNot exactly; they’ve got a remote worker facility where they’ve got about 1 person per 100 cars, who maps out what to do in situations where the software can’t handle it, but doesn’t do a full-on remote-drive. This enables them to gracefully handle the long tail of situations the software can’t do yet, so long as not every car hits it at once (as with, say, a power outage causing all traffic lights to fail in San Francisco, or flash flooding causing issues all over Phoenix)
