So every physics researcher should never challenge established theories and if you do you’re a crackpot? Can you make a cogent argument against one bit of her research instead of calling her a crackpot for challenging things?

How do you only have one review? This looks super cool and would make me basically immediately able to roughly play quite a few pieces. Need to setup my keyboard and try it out.

Why would this be hell? We aren't in the sky, are we? It's mostly empty there. We are on the ground. Fewer cars will be needed to deliver things. I think this is a massive improvement and will finally use an underutilized resource

Operating margin is the correct pre tax number to look at. It deducts operating expenses but not interest and taxes.

Are there also articles written when a gar car catches fire though? That is the key question.
248.
by jjallen 3y ago
I said that because the critics would respond with the reason the article was written is because they are “new”. Everyone knows that electricity is “older” and that they actually “came out” much longer ago

This isn’t an educational article about how to drive an EV. It’s fearmongering about electric vehicles
250.
by jjallen 3y ago
Why is this news? Is every gas car fire reported? Is it news because electric cars are “new” as in ten years old? Or is it that the publisher just knows it will get a bunch of clicks from people that don’t like electric stuff?

It’s a sincere question. I didn’t have a point. I was surprised to see someone saying that attempting to sequester carbon for the good of the planet is a scam. Saying something is a scam implies it’s completely a scam. Equating NFTs with at

Many very very smart people are working on it. Are you saying all of these people are scammers? Are you saying that they aren’t smart for working on it because the idea itself is a scam?

Are you also saying that those who publish in peer reviewed journals don’t make stuff up? See the recent LK-99, Stanford president and Dan Ariely I really wish we could get over the whole idea that universities and journal have a monopoly o

They evidently made no attempt at all and want others to do the work for them

Are you saying that we should only listen/read to people who are? The first thing he says is that he’s not a linguist.

Same for me. I am learning new software languages with a fraction of the effort that was required even just one year ago. If I don’t understand something or need help I just ask and usually I get the help I need. This is especially benefici

Arguably AI and machine learning IS a trend. Just because it is ten years old does not mean it isn't a trend. A trend is a consistent increase or decrease, with no limits on duration.

Some videos are drawn out but lost aren’t. People will drop if the video gets too boring. It’s also very easy to skip in video ads or forward or reverse to the most replayed part of the video.

I'm giving them money to view fewer ads. Isn't this an inherently "anti-ad" consumer standpoint? I am telling YT/Google that I as a consumer am willing to pay money to not see ads. Am I not telling them with my wall

I do when I regularly watch a particular creator's videos over and over. However, this isn't the case for most of the videos I watch. Lots of one-off views.

I do that too when I really want to support someone. YouTube premium is a way to support each producers videos, not only the few that I might patronize on Patreon. There are dozens and dozens of different creators of videos that I watch eac

I just subscribe to YouTube premium to support my favorite application out there. I learn so much from the people who spend hours and hours making videos every month that I am more than happy to pay a measly $13 or whatever it is every mont

Unfortunately meddling with humans is not something that is very possible or accepted. This is one of the primary reasons we’ve made almost zero progress recently in understanding ourselves.

There’s a big difference between being immortal and not having to die at some preprogrammed time that is purely a byproduct of our evolutionary history. It’s a spectrum. We don’t know what it will take to make us healthier/love longer.

the fact that each species tends to live its own lifespan and each lifespan is somewhat unique (like not all species tend to live 10 years, for example) suggests that lifespan is genetically programmed. There are some good, obvious reasons
