  • Canada Freezes $43M in Suspicious Tesla Rebates. Tesla’s Claim of 1.5 Sales Per Minute Prompts Government to “Fully Examine Each Claim Individually.”

  • And something like a machine can "seize up" too.

    I think the trick with English is to just keep seizing any old random words out of a hat until the other person nods convincingly enough.

  • Judge any service (and most other stuff) by its support, aftercare and how they handle complaints / fix problems.

    That's worth more than flashy front end, marketing bs or even technical performance specs.

  • Similar just the impact of dust over a large enough distance.

    Try going up to the top of, say, a 50 storey building in a moderately polluted city during a fairly still, warm, dry spell of weather and look down at the ground.

    It'll likely look a lot more dusty than from street level.

  • Urgh, when you forgot to check the fool-performance charateristic curve on the datasheet and it was on a log scale.

    Very similar though - just waiting for them to elect farage to gut UK public services.

  • That's why scientists ( I assume they're supposed to be the right hand side) claiming to measure "intelligence" should pick a more specific term for what they're measuring.

    If they use the word "intelligence" I'd be extremely suspicious about why they've chosen that word. I would assume they have a decent understanding of how the word is likely be interpreted by the other 97.5%, if not they need to get out and do some fieldwork.

  • What movie is in your top list despite its absolute shit rating?

  • I'd be in the 9% that rated Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus 10 on imdb.

    I had to buy the DVD a second time as someone stole my first one it is that good.

  • It's not just ships. Before and after ships forests were/are cleared for farming. Net carbon sequestration of almost any forest is likely to be better than cropland and pasture - more so the old forests with well developed fungi and worms and stuff that fix and recycle some of it, not so much the timber forestry but i sustect theyre better than farms still.

    Steel ships did not really even slow deforestation much - globally. Though you could argue that the sail ships enabled Europeans to bring all their various shit to the Americas - so it is maybe linked to the farming thing.

    https://ourworldindata.org/world-lost-one-third-forests . FYI This graph is a bit misleading because time is warped on the vertical.

    We also drained and dried out wetlands and bogs which are quite good at trapping a high amount of rotting material, also to make farmland. I'm not sure if that is counted in those stats - that is possibly more of a European overpopulation thing than a global one anyway.

    I dont see how it will stop unles people start eating less, or more efficiently (I guess swap a lot of cow for cereals).

    I don't think monocultures + fertilizer + pesticides is going to be all that sustainable at keeping high yields in the long run - but we shall see about that I guess. Gene techlogy does seem to create some advances.

  • I just dont get why you have to assume that though?

    Maybe I'm a pessimist, but I've met and worked with enough humans that I think the best assumtion is that they're all full of shit until they prove otherwise.

    It's fine to rely on experts for some things, but if those experts aren't subject to independent scrutiny or directly independent of the claim or sunjecy under test, or can't give clear testable /replicable evidence, I'd just not put much weight on their testimony as a source of evidence.

  • I hope the screenshot dude is also going to stop this unquestioning belief in the things people say or claim without evidence.

    Those first two paragraphs look like a tendency to prefer hero-worship to critical thought; that seems to be a fairly widespread problem in humans from long before this latest batch of demagogues.

    There's also a hint of "I'm not an 'expert' in it so I can't (be bothered) to understand anything about it" also a very depressingly common attitude.
