  • Cheap Iranian drone downed $25 million US Army helicopter—maybe by chance

  • You're making it sound like they are in completely arbitrary positions around the region, but if they are both in the vicinity of targets, like the helicopter is meant to defend, and the drone is meant to attack, then the chances go up significantly.

  • With drones everywhere an accident is going to happen once in a while. Pilots can make mistakes, equipment fails, or sometimes shit just happens. It's not that crazy.

  • The iPhone explains 33–52% of fertility decline among women aged 15–44

  • yes other smartphones existed but they were well behind iphone, especially in regards to web browsing.

  • I have my doubts too but to be fair they compared the data against Verizon and Sprint which did not have the iphone in that time.

  • US firm validates 1.1-GW nuclear fusion plant design to deliver 400 MW electricity

  • It does a little. funding isn't unlimited. If the goal is to get off fossil fuels ASAP, to me it makes more sense to invest in building technologies that we know work.

    Once we stop the house from burning down we can look into upgrading the sprinkler system.

  • yup. i love my EV but my dream would be a hatchback EV. fucking US car manufacturers have brainwashed everyone to think they need an EV of some sort. yay rugged individualism.

  • yeah i would not recommend EVs to anyone who can’t charge at home. we are just not there yet with infrastructure.

  • yes, extra battery capacity does not require extra maintenance or fossil fuel like an ICE engine does.

  • the problem with PHEVs is the battery is very small, which is a longevity concern. Batteries lose charge capacity based on how many charging cycles they go through. So if you are discharging most of the battery on a daily commute you’re going to kill that battery’s capacity within a few years (like a cell phone).

  • You need to look at the total cost of ownership. EVs often cost less than comparable ICE vehicles because of savings in fuel, maintenance, and repairs.

  • Toyota hybrids are reliable compared to other ICE vehicles. But EVs are even more reliable. Also you still have to do ICE maintenance on hybrids like oil changes.

    I agree hybrids still have their place, but i think many more people can switch to full EVs instead of going hybrid. they are just wary of change.

  • Valve antitrust lawsuit reportedly reveals lengths Steam owner is willing to go to prevent cheaper prices elsewhere

  • there's more to it than that.

    Gabe Newell asked Valve's top lawyer "What the f*** do I pay you for if that’s your opinion?" in heated debate over porn games on Steam, report says

    Jump

  • True but there's very liitle context here. It could have made more sense in the conversation if it was meant like "I pay you to fight for our position, not roll over to threats."

  • For most US drivers, electric vehicles offer emissions benefits and cost savings, according to a new study by MIT researchers

    Jump

  • depends on the state/locality in the US. Since we pay for road maintenance with tax on gas (which EVs don't pay obviously), some places add an EV tax to make up for it. Problem is it's usually a flat tax that is higher than most people would pay via gas taxes.

  • well yeah, you also have to factor in maintenance and repairs.
