ig is neither a TikTok clone, nor is it poor. TikTok users in the West skew young (ie poor) and it's all short form video, which fb calls out as harder to monetize, so I can't see how TikTok is a threat to soak up the ad spend. We

"we don't want to track individuals" --- right, but each ad FB places has a lower conversion rate if they don't know as much about the user, so while your goal may not be tracking per se, tracking does get you the same s

How did "wolf" get turned into "wolvic"? That section at the end just seems to take it for granted that permutation is totally normal.

Gonna need a citation on that one. My sources say driving (ice) is 13x as bad as cycling. Electric cars are much better but still worse than cycling and create far greater impact that's not captured by ghg metrics. https://w

by this logic, why is there an airtag on your bike? Shouldn't law enforcement keep people from stealing it?

In my experience, real estate is often a second or third career. The barrier to entry is very low, the potential pay is very high (also potential for very low pay, but the high ceiling attracts those who feel they're playing catch up),

maybe, but is this worse than the alternative of needing to allocate precious space in dense urban areas to car storage? It seems like getting rid of on street parking and thus opening up ~2 more lanes per road would be a win even with incr

it seems more likely the car will park a mile away where space is more abundant, rather than using the roads as a mobile parking space. In some cases it will make sense to build a self-driving specific parking structure that doesn't ne

why not? Because some people would choose not to buy the car if they had to drive it at the speed limit across the empty expanses that make up their favorite road trip, or through areas where the limit is lower than it "ought" to

waymo's driverless cars in Arizona are hybrid Chrysler Pacificas. Electric cars still produce greenhouse gases since our grid is not 100% renewable yet. Brake dust and asphalt also contribute to local air pollution. I have already noti

more people will definitely move farther away and commute in their personal self driving vehicles since they can get in the car at 4am and sleep through the 3 hour traffic jam. Especially because their car is electric, so like, zero emissio

I think it would have to know my age or other vitals for a lot of this. For example someone born in 1950 in Colombia might have a very different life expectancy than someone born in 2010. I thought it would be more interesting if they asked

direct to consumer drug advertising is only legal in two countries in the world. Perhaps FB is ideologically on the side of the other 200. That said they should apply the rules consistently if it's the case.

Yes, it's up to the listener to judge whether the criticism is valid, and if it's wildly disconnected from my understanding of reality, I label the speaker a kook. I didn't mean to imply the kook label was objective.

I don't understand the controversy. So Rogan had a kook or two on the air, kooks with credentials who promoted non-consensus opinions. Is that the problem? I mean, listeners should be able to determine for themselves whether something

Unless your attitude is that people shouldn't be allowed to decide what interests them, it seems Joe Rogan is the most deserving media personality on the planet.

"with no fast charging" --- this assumes you can charge 150mi overnight, which I cannot in the townhome I'm now renting.

he's wrong in the sense that there are other reasons not to buy electric: * price * options & availability * (for long trips) lack of charging infrastructure along desired route * lack of charging infrastructure at home also kind o
