> Beyond that, they have to roll the windows down every time you open the door to prevent damage to the seals?

Not sure I understand your concern here, but isn't is how every frame-less car door works? See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NM-dunSOLw

>but isn't is how every frame-less car door works?

It isn't. My 2004 toyota solara had frameless windows and didn't play any shenanigans with it, and as others in this rough thread have pointed out, subaru doesn't either. I don't know where you got this idea but you've managed to ingore two very popular brands at minimum so maybe you should reconsider some things

I see, not every frame-less door has this mechanism.

In the case of Toyota Solara, how does the glass fit with the seal on the A-pillar and roof? The roll-down mechanism is required because the glass on those doors have to be "inserted" into the seal.

I realize I replied to the wrong comment, the one above it discussed the windows.

So it’s a form over function trade off. CLS is a low volume model. Looks absurd to me in a model 3 “mass market car” alongside 2 door handles, a classic one and a cool button press one.

You are correct that per capita doesn't matter to the global climate but it's only relevant because regulations are enforced on a nation-based fashion.

As a Chinese national living in the U.S., I would like my fellow countryperson to have the same standard of living as an average American does. Unfortunately this view is not shared by many Americans, including Obama [0].

Care to elaborate why you think the comments on this rover are nationalistic? Or, do you feel the same way about comments regarding NASA or JAXA achievements?

Disclaimer: I'm a China/Chinese national.

I think they were referring to earlier nationalistic dismissals/unfounded skepticism.

"The Snapdragon 888 wins in terms of CPU performance while the Kirin 9000 seems to be the one with the better GPU and AI capabilities. However, there are other factors to consider such as power efficiency where the Kirin 9000 already does excellently well as shown in our review video. So until there is an in-depth device-to-device comparison, we can’t say which chipset is the clear winner." [0]

It's structured by country. You need to go to the Location dropdown and select China to see the actual report.

Thanks to you and Aunche! For me that meant using the red sliders hovering button on the bottom right.

> The Japanese calendar was lunar and calculated locally until the 1600s in some areas

Isn't the Japanese calendar Lunisolar and borrowed from China? (from the wikipedia link you posted above)

"After that, Japan calculated its calendar using various Chinese calendar procedures" also from the wikipedia article. This is all just illustrating my point further.

Another angle to look this: many allies of US (who claims China is a major enemy) raises disputes with China.

China national here.

This is definitely not the way to look at this, every mentioned country (and many others) has very valid arguments against China.

Native Chinese speaker here.

I'm not sure I understand your point. Without keeping up with the new memes, IME still let people type them (it's simply not as easy when IME does not auto-suggest the new combination, users can manually select each Chinese character).

Regarding "an informal ambiguous layer", are you implying there is something more fundamental/low-level than the Chinese characters used in communication? If so, what is that?

You seems to be implying that there is no real users protesting against this game (and/or the Xi memes) but this is definitely not true. I've seen plenty of real people complaining about the references in that game, mostly on Weibo.

Regarding Taiwan, CCP does put pressure on companies but this feeling/motivation is (almost unanimously) shared by the people in China.

My point is, simply brushing off the "real" voices coming from ordinary people in China and claiming they don't exist are not very substantive and won't help understand them. For example there is one question I asked myself during the protest against that game: Why do my fellow countryperson take a meme directly at Xi an insult to them?

How would this sensor works with the microlens [0] that help direct the lights onto each pixel and already exist in most modern camera CMOS?
