Really? You could tell the planes in Top Gun: Maverick were all CGI over reference footage? You could tell the Barbie movie car sequences were shot in front of a green screen (as opposed to a matte painting, which is how it appears)? You co

I couldn’t disagree more. Everyone can understand some common tourist phrases without tones - and you will probably get a lot of positive feedback from Chinese people. It’s common to view a foreigner making an attempt at Mandarin (even a ba

It completely botched teaching someone to say “hello” in Chinese - it used the wrong tones and then incorrectly told them their pronunciation was good.

This is how carbon capture is being used currently. However, I it's absolutely not the goal of legislation that funds carbon capture research - research that was lobbied for by environmental groups (not that big oil didn't lobby f

This doesn’t make sense to me because other questions seemed to follow the trends you’d expect.

Anyone else notice how those with the most adverse experiences were both more likely to be depressed and more likely to be happy "all of the time" for the past month? Is this a flaw in the data? What is the causal explanation for

I’m not convinced. planet-tracker says that refinement method, not ore source, determines carbon intensity. But deep sea nodules are richer than ore on land, which means they use less energy per unit of refined product. This is born out by

Like many other people are commenting, I have subjectively felt that rain forecasts have gotten worse. I can think of two theories that could explain this. I'd be curious to hear from someone more knowledgeable if any of them are right

Synthetic hydrocarbons would likely not use much of FMG's hydrogen technologies: membranes, hydrogen liquidification, hydrogen vehicles, etc.

It should be noted that Fortescue Metals is not some disinterested third party here. They have a massive stake in green hydrogen production (see their FFI division). Hydrocarbons (not necessarily from fossil fuels, see https://pr

Well I haven't done the depth of research he has, but I believe a key piece of evidence is that in the initial Cybertruck announcement Musk said the Cybertruck uses the same steel as Starship. At that time, Starship prototypes were usi

I believe it's clearly unacceptable for a car to visibly rust within a year of production. That would never happen with a regular car.

That's true, no other car company would build a car body that can't stand up to normal outdoor conditions. Perhaps there is a reason every other car in the world is painted...

Sinks are made from a more corrosion-resistant alloy than the one used on the Cybertruck.

Well the passivization is corrosion. Stainless steel is covered by rusted chromium, which prevents further rust. If you scratch it, you should get another layer of passivization. They Cybertruck's problem (oversimplifying here, there&#

by elil17 3y ago
Depends on the stainless alloy used. Meat grinders would be designed to stand up to salt - they use 304 or 316. Cybertruck's aren't, because they use a 301, which is less corrosion resistant. Meanwhile, 316 will gladly rust if put

You're presenting two claims here: 1. The judiciary makes some distinction between a 500-to-1 and a 1,000,000-to-1 ratio. 2. Speech cases are somehow specially protected from high ratios between punitive and compensatory damages. I kno

by elil17 3y ago
Perhaps you're basing that on TXO v Alliance? The specific ratio for TXO (which happened to be 526-to-1) does not paint the full picture. Consider two things: 1. TXO does not provide a hard-and-fast rule on a maximum ratio of compensat

I think doing a small amount of aerosol injection right now is an appropriate way to confirm that we understand how they work/what the effects will be. I hope that the work this company is doing is being adequately studied.
