Summary

Global leaders criticized Trump’s new tariffs, which range from 10% to 49%, warning of trade wars and economic fallout.

The UK and Italy urged negotiation, while Brazil passed a reciprocity bill. China and South Korea vowed countermeasures.

Australia and New Zealand rejected Trump’s logic, citing existing trade deals and low tariffs. Norfolk Island was baffled by a 29% duty despite having no exports.

Financial markets dropped, oil and bitcoin sank, and leaders warned of inflation. Analysts say Trump risks fracturing global trade with little to gain economically.

Summary

The U.S. imposed a 29% tariff on Norfolk Island, nearly triple the 10% rate applied to the rest of Australia, with no explanation from the White House.

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese expressed confusion, noting Norfolk Island’s limited economic activity. The territory has a population of about 2,000 and minimal exports.

Other remote territories like Christmas Island and Heard and McDonald Islands also received tariffs, though the latter are uninhabited.

The preachers, who a UC spokeswoman said were not affiliated with campus, left by 4 p.m. Shaikh said it wasn't their first time there.“Today it was particularly aggressive,” Shaikh said. “They were berating students walking by.”

TL;DR: Self-Driving Teslas Rear-End Motorcyclists, Killing at Least 5

Brevity is the spirit of wit, and I am just not that witty. This is a long article, here is the gist of it:

• The NHTSA’s self-driving crash data reveals that Tesla’s self-driving technology is, by far, the most dangerous for motorcyclists, with five fatal crashes that we know of.
• This issue is unique to Tesla. Other self-driving manufacturers have logged zero motorcycle fatalities with the NHTSA in the same time frame.
• The crashes are overwhelmingly Teslas rear-ending motorcyclists.

Read our full analysis as we go case-by-case and connect the heavily redacted government data to news reports and police documents.

Oh, and read our thoughts about what this means for the robotaxi launch that is slated for Austin in less than 60 days.

"An Israeli air strike on Khan Younis has killed at least 12 displaced Palestinians from the same family, relatives told Middle East Eye, as Israel expanded its offensive on Wednesday to seize "large areas" of Gaza.

“They were hanging out at our place, and wanted to wish their mother a happy Eid,” Basma al-Qaoud, a relative of the victims, told MEE.

“They left, and an hour or two later, we receive a call telling us the Bari family home was bombed, which was the home they were renting.”"

I made a community thumbnail for [email protected] a few days ago. I thought It would be a fun and creative project to make it animated.

Wow was it a lot of work! I didn't know anything about gif animations so I looked up a quick tutorial. I made two frames alternating and worked from there. The result is rough in places but im proud of it anyway. It took way more animations than I expected to get things smooth. I learned early on small changes between many frames make for a more smooth viewing experience. Also too many new lines at once looks jaring so it needs to be subtle movement in and out

Thanks /r/sino!
