Except it's not. If there were no defects, there would be no defects reported on the forums. The number of cars sold is public. The parent isn't suggesting looking at the ratio of happy and sad posters, which would definitely be s

Good. Having sold my Tesla after 8 years of ownership, I can't believe what that company is getting away with. The car was fun to drive, but the build quality and service were terrible. And the continuous upsell to FSD, even 8 years ag

Sure. But CC-BY-SA 3.0 is a very standard license to apply to art, and has similar expectations for sharing your game with CC-BY-SA.

I wonder how this impacts carbon vs, say, eliminating the parking lot and encouraging better public transit and biking and using the reclaimed space for more housing or commerce.

Plus the two armed nuclear weapons that were dropped on North Carolina when a bomber exploded mid flight, and amazingly did not detonate.

I guarantee you that you are eating things that are being produced. Unless you are getting all your calories and spices from small family farms. Industrial agriculture is mining, not growing things.

I'm thinking like a consumer, specifically me as a consumer. I do not know how many consumers are like me, but I'm always looking for vegan, well rounded, non industrially farmed, pesticide free protein sources. So far, the leadin

It's not at all arrogant in my reading, more like lightly exasperated? They understand exactly what the color scheme is trying to do, they gave reasons why it is naive, and they basically said, "go with God".

Oh, great question actually. I mostly know wheat farmers, so that's the model that I have in my head, but yeah it would make sense they fix nitrogen.

As someone who manages hundreds of acres of forest - most trees won't live that long because we'll harvest them or they'll die to disease and wildfire. Reforesting an area would be carbon negative, and eventually the first

I mean, I guess. The fusion that causes photons doesn't happen without gravity though.

Planting a tree is carbon neutral if you do nothing to sequester the carbon. It's negative in the short term, but neutral over the life of the tree (more or less).

Spirulina is a staple foodstuff in some places, is it plausible that the side effects you are suggesting are from someone not adjusted to eating it or contaminations from other cyanobacteria that are known to cause digestion issues?

The competition would be carbon neutral pesticide free soybeans, which I'm not sure are readily available? Soybeans also typically use energy intensive nitrogen fertilizers, which I'm not sure this process requires. (It might, not

In what way does this sound dystopian? Ideally this is a protein source without the nasty externalities of intensive agriculture and it can exist in places and spaces that aren't typically conducive to food production. Ideally, yes, pl

Where is the light generated? The sun. How did the sun form and why does it produce light? Gravity pulled some hydrogen into a ball, enough of it was there that gravity forced it to fuse.

Judges are there to provide judgement. It's literally in the name. Judges are deliberately put in positions to make nuanced decisions. Yes, bias exists, but the solution isn't dogmatic and inflexible application of law.

Anyone who unironically believes "code is law" or "code is the contact" should be taking a hard look at this and realizing how terrible those ideas are.

Except, it's not that? Or at the very least it's a poor version of that. Want to get and move Bitcoin easily? You are going through an exchange, which will absolutely be regulated at some point. Not going through an exchange? Well

100k - accounting for pay, benefits, office space, training, hiring, computing equipment, support services (hr, etc)? In the States, those things can exceed the salary cost of the engineer.

I believe it's intended to be an umbrella term for many specific conditions. The opposite of neurotypical. It's a way to acknowledge that folks with autism, ADHD, schizophrenia, multiple personality disorder, depression, OCD, or

It's not policing, I'm suggesting that in a dialogue the use of scare quotes signals a negative interest in actually engaging in discussion. Typically, scare quotes will be interpreted as someone who has already made their mind up

She/her covers 3 of the 4 you mention, and the fourth form always ends in an s. So it's not really necessary to hit all 4 in a signature line. Additionally, the common pronouns (he, she, they) only really need a mechanism to tell

What's with the scare quotes and the use of "so called"? You can ask your question without them and it will feel a whole lot less patronizing.

TikTok wasn't around a decade ago. I also suspect that systems cringe might not be the best source for understanding plural folks... It might be worth trying to understand before casting aspersions.

Even if they ran entirely on solar, cars still pollute. Dust from your tires, for instance, has a noticable impact the fish populations. Electric cars are heavy and put more strain on roads. Battery chemistry can be difficult to cleanly rec

You are insane to think this "fully fixes inequality." Thought experiment: who can buy the most shares of others? And if they buy "well", how does the distribution of wealth shift? Second thought experiment: what if your
