Is it a political thing, a tech thing, an issue of expectations?

The intra-Palestinian meeting in Moscow has precedent
— Hanna Notte (@HannaNotte) February 29, 2024
Russia's hosted such meetings in the past, most recently Feb 2019
Russia has long lamented the US' "monopolization" of the peace process & tried to carve out a niche for itself: mediating among the disunited Palestinians/2

A mass expulsion of Afghan migrants could destabilize the region and fuel radicalization. The West should pressure Islamabad to change course.
All eyes on #Chad right now
Chad has two internet trunks coming into the country: One from the Red Sea via Sudan; the other from Cameroon. Not possible for the totality of the country's internet network to be shut unless done centrally. A lot of rumors swirling; few facts. https://t.co/N6bDJZ2ixO

It's wild that Venezuela is now holding a vote on whether 2/3 of Guyana actually belongs to them! Analysts suggest that Modoru may want military action to pump up his sinking popularity.

"Both the AU and the intl community place more weight on whether elections are held than whether they are free and fair. Sanctions/expulsions occur when there is a coup but not necessarily when elections are rigged or if an “institutional coup” occurs." https://t.co/m9dNimJP0D

Yglesias on topic as far as elections are concerned:

Nate Silver used to be pretty good at this - pointing out Bayesian buckets of likelihood, defining for us just how uncertain some races were rather than trying to pick just winners. If I say Biden will win, it's not as impressive as saying he'll win by 5% and be right, which is at as impressive as cataloguing the possibelle factors by small frequency range and having my pick correctly fall within that scenario (if the turnout for these 3 groups is this much, if the weather is X, if there arllis a candidate-leaning October Surprise of X magnitude... Or other ways of pitching it)

Global auto sales 76m, EVs max 5m. (BYD passed Tesla with 1.9m global, Tesla )
Those 70m gas & hybrids have at least a 10yr life, even tho 60% of cars ""entering China's roads" in 2025 should be EVs (so numbers we see in Jan 2026, but for domestic consumption).
COVID has hit China hard, so output, new car demand (and economy over luxury) and other factors will affect that growth.
Meanwhile i don't know that electric charging infrastructure has evolved anywhere to support huge growth. EU had 375k charging stations in 2021, France & Germany adding 600 per wk, say total is 1200/wk when est demand needs 6000 stations per wk to hit 3.5m by 2030. This will make EU EV adoption unequal.
3 new BYD Models coming to the EU have 260-320 mile range (tho declines the more highway mileage in the mix). Winter range is 15-20% lower, which also affects suitability for northern countries.
