Yes, it could happen, but according to the well detailed article, would be one hell of a coincidence.

You nailed it. They never seem to mention how load these things are. The use case is more of a dune buggy or jet ski. An expensive toy.

This article is a strawman. Facebook is not creating a new name for the purpose of "hiding its problems". It is to have a different corporate name for all of its different businesses.

The goal is not to shut them down. The goal is to make the papers profitable and maintain that for as long as possible. Seems to me they are doing a good thing

We were told that Fauci and the CDC speak for the medical establishment. And that if you disagree with them you were anti-science, and Google/Twitter/Facebook would censor you. I still trust my doctor, I long ago stopped trusting

Exactly. The CDC went from masks don't work, to everyone wear masks, to no masks if vaccinated, to wear a mask even if vaccinated. In 18 months.

If masks worked effectively, it would be quite simple to find a strong correlation between cases and areas with lax mask usage. Instead it is all over the map (pun intended).

Cryptocurrency has three successful use cases. One is speculation, hoping to profit from coin value increasing over time. Two is enabling nefarious activity such as ransomware payoffs and buying illicit drugs, weapons, illegal pornography,

This section destroyed the authors credibility altogether in my mind. Seems the entire article was a set up to make a political attack.

I think we are long past "short" anything related to COVID. It is now clearly endemic and will persist indefinitely. People need to make their own decisions on how to protect themselves and get on with their lives.

The best use case for NFT, and possibly all crypto, is money laundering. But, yes, it's not legit.

Compared to taking the train, if you drive, when you arrive you have a car to get around with. You also get to leave when you want and not have to rely on the train schedules. Combine that with the car being significantly cheaper for that i

We should stop with the "it's just the Trump supporters" thinking. Yes them, but various other groups including PhDs. A Carnegie Mellon study identified the groups with the most vaccine hesitancy. "independent hesitancy

I think the issue of vaccine hesitancy is much more nuanced than this. For example, according to the CDC, the population least vaccinated in the US are black. https://www.kff.org/coronavirus-covid-19/issue-brief/la

The problem with many first time entrepreneurs is that they fall in love with a solution. That's backwards. Fall in love with a problem, innovate a solution.

It is not the frequency of EV fires that is a concern, but the difficulty and danger associated with putting them out. From this article, an ICE fire requires 300 gallons of water to extinguish - and for electric vehicle fire, 28,000 gallon
