It's literally about EV range loss in the winter. The journalist put Tesla's advertising to the test and took a drive up the east coast. Experienced massive range loss and had to sacrifice speed and heating. Was not instructed to

Fun fact, they can’t exfiltrate the key because it’s burned into the secure element coprocessor and unreadable by software.

He is 100% that petty. He literally mass blocks people who have simply liked or followed anyone he disagrees with, no interaction. Not an exaggeration at all.

So the question was “what value crypto offers that can’t be done with more energy efficient mechanisms,” and your answer is.. you can transact in crypto. This is trivially circular reasoning.

What like a policy that bans extremely energy intensive things that offer no value other than to construct Ponzi schemes at rapid clip? Yeah we need that policy. (Happy to hear what value crypto offers that can’t be done with more energy ef

Two reasons: * expensive to scale * developer limitations This limited it to smaller scale projects, MVPs, proof of concepts where paying a little more for a certain range of developer productivity makes sense. Such is the case with rapid d

The study only looked at open source which could bias it. It is possible that open source thrives on rare individuals whose heroism is simply having the time to donate significantly to free projects.

Strong words, but you didn’t cite any sources. What are the “scientific first principles” that support your claim? Lead acid batteries are entirely different materials and chemistry, e.g. lead retains its quality through secondary smelting.

This actually reinforces my point. The first part releases “lots of fumes” into a poorly ventilated underground space, which then requires firefighters to remain for “a very long period.” Your claim that the later part is less dangerous ass

Then your question about “bystanders” is irrelevant to the topic at hand. The article claims people were selected to be killed on very flimsy evidence, yet always classified as enemies killed in action. These are not “bystanders.” You will

What’s your source on recyclability optimism? Otherwise it sounds hand-wavy. Recyclability is very bad right now.

If your concern us protecting the rest of the garage, putting 28,000 gallons of water in a basement may well flood it anyway. It may protect the structure but the issue here sounds more like firefighter safety.

The difference is not the toxicity of the fumes, it’s the duration of the fire. A respirator will not fully protect you from a seven hour underground fire.

You’re assuming the innocents killed were bystanders, not targets.

One point about smartphones that doesn’t necessarily apply to combine harvesters is that gluing everything together enables more compact, durable designs. There are plenty of arguments against this but there is a big one for it: consumers l

Not to mention Miami, which was putting ads up around SF, actually has a higher violent crime rate than SF. It just has more segregation.

Literally have all those things in the heart of SF. Some people just like living in more segregated communities. > And yes, San Francisco in 2020 in terms of crime. Again, no data cited! Even after being called out on it.

by abalone 5y ago
Because the claim is that SF violent crime got worse, which is false. You are resorting to comparing the general disparity in crime rates between major cities and small towns, which is not unique to SF. Therefore it is an illogical argument

Not a significant space issue at the beginning. Still not a good theory.

Quite simply crime rates in SF came down around 2010. It was high in the 90s but even then the first dot com boom had some startups in SF and some in SV. Notably Salesforce. But by the second Web 2.0 boom (as it was called) SF was a very at

Not a good theory. Before AWS startups would colocate. On premise was rare.

Silicon Valley happened because of proximity to Stanford University and Moffett Field and the copious amounts of government / military funding and contracts that came through them (DARPA, etc). This is a very basic fact of the history

You’re comparing SF, a major city, to Lafayette, a suburb. That is objectively a ridiculous comparison. You will see similar disparities in most comparisons of that nature. Your only SF specific crime stat is about property crime (shoplifti
