As far as I understand the nomenclature, PFAS covers both the inert final products like Teflon and reactive intermediates, degradation products and reactants. It's a very broad category of chemicals. My understanding is that the bigger

There is no such thing as "officially closed". The moment people start shooting there, driving a ship across becomes dangerous. This was an absolutely predictable consequence of the attacks on Iran, you didn't need to wait un

Where are they supposed to put all that gas and oil if they can't transport it? I don't think they have much choice here. And as far as I understand, helium is a byproduct of the extraction, so they can't choose to keep only

It is disconcerting to see that quite a few of the well-known billionaires seem to have just outright insane beliefs. And those are people with real power and the ability to influence events on a larger scale.

Europe is a big place, but my understanding is that the US is the outlier here and Europe is relatively similar in this regard. The only time I really saw checks used was when I was a child ~30-35 years ago and my parents used them. I did o

It feels a bit like in a Road Runner cartoon. We already ran well past the cliff, just haven't noticed yet that we should be falling down.

We'll see if the markets are still too optimistic here or not. I don't see how this will resolve quickly, so the Strait of Hormuz will likely remain essentially closed for quite a bit longer. I don't see any escort plans by U

Trump was mostly a known quantity when elected a second time. And on foreign policy it was clear that he would be at least erratic and unpredictable. This is not an unexpected result of voting for Trump. People voted for a vindictive and pe

The last time I looked into it my impression was that disabling the JIT in PostgreSQL was the better default choice. I had a massive slowdown in some queries, and that doesn't seem to be an entirely unusual experience. It does not seem

That's not what this user was talking about. For example, with a German ID you can provide proof that you are older than 18 without giving up any identifying information. I mean, nobody uses this system at the moment, but it does exist

I'm not convinced age restrictions like this are a good idea. But yeah, the non-availability of IDs in the US is a self-inflicted problem. Another example where this plays a role are voter registration and ID requirements for voting in

RAM increased the most, but also SSD and HDD prices increased significantly. And it seems there are also supply problems, so you can't even be sure if you get the components you want at higher prices.

This is with safety drivers. So at this point you can't really make any conclusions about how good the Robotaxi is at avoiding major crashes since those should ideally be handled by the safety drivers. Without the actual data around al

It's impressive how bad they're at hiring the safety drivers. This is not even measuring how good the Robotaxi itself is, right now it's only measuring how good Tesla is at running this kind of test. This is not inspiring any

I don't think you need a NOTAM for that, you could just close the airport directly. And so far this administration hasn't shown itself to be particularly concerned about preventing the spread of infectious diseases like measles.

There is a circular restriction around the airport and a trapezoid one next to the city ( https://elpasomatters.org/2026/02/11/unexplained-faa-order-s... ). What are the plausible explanations here? I can'

This kind of story seems to be very common for all kinds of US prisons or detention facilities. The most prominent one right now probably the ones from ICE. Like this story about the ICE prison for children ( https://www.propublic

Nothing in your argument is proof that the investors aren't idiots.

Yeah, I'm not buying that. I don't see how that could be any cheaper than regular datacenters. It might just be technically feasible, but launching stuff into space will always be more expensive than not launching stuff into space

There's an epic conflict of interest here with Musk owning most of both companies. And they're in entirely separate fields, there is no plausible synergy here to be gained.

I'm a bit hesitant to draw strong conclusions here because there is so little data. I would personally assume that it means the AI isn't ready at all, but without knowing any details at all about the crashes this is hard to state
146.
by fabian2k 9mo ago
I think it's fair to put the burden of proof here on Tesla. They should convince people that their Robotaxis are safe. If they redact the details about all incidents so that you cannot figure out who's at fault, that's on Tes
147.
by fabian2k 9mo ago
As long as there are still safety drivers, the data doesn't really tell you if the AI is any good. Unless you had reliable data about the number of interventions by the driver, which I assume Tesla doesn't provide. Still damning t

Your list is misleading, the TÜV is about safety, but you're only listing the more trivial things, I wonder why. They also check major things like steering. I think it is reasonably safe to assume that the issues that are not directly

Looks like the Tesla Model Y has roughly the same amount of faults after less than 3 years as the top cars in this comparison have after 11-13 years ( https://www.tuvsud.com/de-de/publikationen/tuev-report/maen
