This is a youtube video on the same topic. Inventor of this device tipped this youtuber off, and so the youtuber looks to confirm the reasoning behind the device. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrDEtSlqJC4 Long story short

Different question to whether Elon Musk is a Con Artist. Con artist would imply that there is no intent to deliver. It also suggests that all efforts he makes are for the purpose of obtaining money without delivery. While this dishonest con

The video is dramatised mostly in it's presentation. Look at the way the clips are cut together, the shadow framing of some scenes, the music. Seeing that dramatic presentation is a heuristic for dishonest data because, let's face

I don't know. From what I read, the issue is that the policy prevented the generators from running during the planned outage. I was thinking tests of policy. Look for circumstances where there could be conflicts. They should have known

Funny how some policy prevented backup generators operating, during a planned outage. Surely this is a case where there should be an overarching policy of, if a situation arises where no power is available for any level of criticality, then

Despite one correlation, Betteridge's law of headlines still applies. 1 health benefit does not justify all the other claims made frequently.

A thought occured to me a couple of months ago. People so regularly forget social technology. Social technology has almost all of the above traits. Want to get rid of Money? Good luck with that. I suspect, there's an underlying assumpt

This statement seems braindead and markety: I have a 5G phone, and I’ve had it since the end of last year. I suddenly realized that something was different about it. The operator didn’t tell me they had just enabled 5G. I just noticed, espe

Bit rich to go, prove it, but but also what about a similar class which I'm not going out of my way to prove. The American technology angle here is semi-irrelevant, the real problem with Saudi is that the US allied with them in the fir

People clearly don't feel like there's anything they can do about the PRC, but BLM being a domestic matter (at least for USAiens) is something they might be able contribute to. Hong Kong is especially in trouble though, in practic

Determining where people are directing their attention is never innocuous. It's literally what shapes peoples opinions, and knowing it is how you modify your messaging. True for both Advertising and Propaganda.

The issue with the USA224 for circulation of media in the public (call it propaganda or propaganda busting, not relevant) is that it states pretty clearly "As the Military of the United States, we have a problem with you, China".

So the videos are... made on a set that Westerners set up, using movie type effects? Or does China want people to believe they are doing this to... make for chilling effects without actually committing the atrocities? The first is a positiv

At least with iPhone no one was under any illusions about the walled garden. Google seems to have adopted EEE from the Microsoft playbook. Even if we say, well they created android, it's more they embraced the enthusiasm of a community

I agree. But. So I think there's an unstated assumption about the driving force behind human population. Asides from a couple of pretty extreme environmentalists, most humans want a world well suited to the life of humans. This means t

I think you've found a confounding variable. The root cause here is that people are entertained by something that pushes their buttons. What you've said makes it sound like people want to socialise but are hampered. I would argue

I don't quite agree, as change does sometime come. I also don't really get your condensation, is there any further context to that quote? What I do agree with is that it is a complex issue and so agree that self improvement as a p

There's a reason China is so keen on it (let's not get on the state surveillence bandwagon yet). Their population and population density is consistently high in so many cities, that they face contention problems more than anyone e

I'm curious, what could be made out of a processor in the order of 4000 transistors as here, but with entirely modern chip design and fabrication tech? What could you put out on TSMC's 7nm, presumably an extremely small wafer.

I personally am still fine with the ~100 ppi density. Being fine with it means using a UHD TV of slightly more than double the diagonal length of the 1080p 23-24" monitors is actually a cool way to get more real estate without multiple

They can, they can crowd out good comments with an absolutely crushing volume of crap. While humans can put out a lot of crap, bots can do orders of magnitude more. The issue is that it is an effort multiplier for when a small number of peo

I'm looking at it entirely from an academic point of view. I personally have hyperopia, so a bit of added myopia might actually help. As distinct from presbyopia, which is different again.
