Liam Fox says cabinet has signed off its plans for tariffs in case of no deal. I guess we'll know if Chinese e-bikes are going to be cheaper next week.

I guess MPs don't want to hear different views, most have chosen their side sometime ago.

does your TSDZ2 run on 36V or 48V?

the usual method of changing the noload RPM is to change the battery's voltage. The other two methods are changing the winding (fewer spires = faster Noload RPM) or changing the back EMF with a Field Weakening controller (weaker magnetic field= higher speed). Changing the voltage is by far the...

Big Bear LS has hydraulic brakes since last year and King Meter KD58C LCD which lets you set your own power as a % for each assist level. Big Bear now has the same LCD and optional hydraulic brakes.

it's rooted in the self belief that we did do better than the continentals in the past so we can do equally better than them in the future. It's also easy to believe that crises in Europe are due to corruption and there's a belief that we don't have corruption here. BTW, plenty of my friends...

it's difficult to say. One thing for certain, the Pound has lost about 15% against major currencies so you could say we are already 15% poorer. On the other hand, it may be a blessing that the tories have not cut much more on public services in the last 3 years because they are too busy with...

latest probabilities: the cost of no deal: we will be 14% poorer.

the trend of foreign manufacturing companies divesting from the UK will still continue, whichever brexit scenario. Ivan Rogers said that Norway does not want UK to join EFTA.

Tory MPs will be given free vote on no deal brexit next week. Anyone fancies a guess? 500/150 to remove no deal from the table?

even if TM still insists on keeping no deal on the table, not many believe in the benefit of no deal. Toyota's top man in Europe has this to say: Toyota has no plan today to withdraw from the UK and stop production but a hard Brexit will create a “mountain” sized challenge for its British...

clear thinking from Martin Howe, the QC who advises the ERG. Conservative MPs who sank the agreement in January have been told to stand firm in next week’s repeat “meaningful vote” – even if the price is an extension of the Article 50 exit notice until the end of 2020. it's a bit late in the...

TM unveils new Brexit slogan:

that was the picture of a Google Waymo taxi in Phoenix, AZ. They are running the taxi service for a while now. I use Southend airport fairly often. I would happily sit in a Waymo taxi to go to the airport.

Google's self-driving cars become less polite to make trips faster: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/2018/10/10/googles-self-driving-cars-become-less-polite-make-trips-faster/ well, if looks can make up for speed: (TBH, it looks like an ambulance) quote: The company’s autonomous...

self driving cars have clocked up 1 billion + kms until now, and by the end of the year, 2.5 billion kms without many accidents. Sure, most of these miles are on motorways and the job of the computer is simplified but they still underline progress made in self driving vehicles. On average, it is...

agreed. That's what I suggested to vfr400 earlier on. I have now deleted my posts that are not relevant to this thread - hope others will do the same.

we don't create a flawed copy. The method used for building AI mimics human common sense.

they do that already. If you watch the last episode of BBC Click, 5G was deployed to connect a racing car going round a track at 200mph to the computer that controls it and other cars and lorries on the same track. In the near future, that's what they'll do for driverless cars, some are local...
