Do you have any examples for that?
Ok, those are 3 very different points, so:

> It was covered up

This is not actionable.

> The people responsible hid crucial information which could have helped contain the spread in the early days and find treatments

You imply in punishing those people? In the case it was a leak, the people interested in punishing them don't have that power, the people with that power were the same suppressing the information, so no, that won't happen.

> The people assuring us that lab creation was an impossible "conspiracy theory" at the very least have egg on their face, and at worst have no credibility or were engaged in a campaign of mis/disinformation

You should already remove any credibility from anybody claiming it was impossible, as well as from anybody claiming any other kind of certainty. What actually happened won't change that.

What we should do is take a good new look at the containment procedures of those labs, reevaluate them, verify if they are followed and fix what is not. We should also press uncooperative countries, like China, to open those up for inspection. Again, whether this one virus came from a lab leak or not is not relevant, we know that best practices are still leaky, and we have seen how problematic a leak would be.

All this politics game of "did | did not" is very counterproductive.

Engines close together as a safety concern? I'm not an aerospace engineer but I can't recall that ever being a real concern. It's a safety feature in most cases (less roll in the event of engine failure). The only thing they'd really need is a barrier that is guaranteed to stop a free flying fan blade and a piping design that ensures a fan blade doesn't cut lines to the other engine.

> If lithium battery technology in general proves to be unsustainable, we may as well pack up and go home, because decarbonization isn't going to happen.

Exactly.

Lithium is not that uncommon. It's just that the reserves that we have found (so far) where nature helpfully decided to concentrate it for us are not very common. If we don't use those, then it's expensive to extract (both in money and energy). That's another argument for expanding renewables. Put them to work to extract lithium from salt water.

Oil had a very similar argument, but we keep finding reserves and devising ways to use previously uneconomical reserves.

Now, once extracted, we recover most of it when it comes time for recycling. I bet older marine batteries would have plenty of uses as second-life energy storage for stationary applications. It may take decades until we even have to recycle them.

> safety risks

As for the safety risks... One of the main ways to contain a battery fire is to spray water on it. Is ocean water is too salty(therefore, conductive) for this application?

Can you find a single reference stating that it's the most dense city or area in the world? I tried looking for one but failed.

There are well over 10,000 cities in the world and Gaza City is likely among the top 500 for population density, which would put it in the top 5%.

Do you generally call things out as being untrustworthy for claiming that the top 5% is among the highest in a rank?
- Yes.

- Israel.

- Yes, see how they took a position on the heart of this issue — the occupied territories themselves. They literally erased Palestine from the map.

Thunderf00t’s criticisms ring pretty hollow, TBH.

Criticism of Musk is one thing. The whole “remove the veil” sorta “red-pill” type language, criticism that Musk has never done anything useful or noteworthy other than scamming falls apart for anyone who has been paying attention for more than a couple years. Electric cars pre-Tesla were a joke. Tesla had enormous influence. And SpaceX (which was founded by Musk, who runs it as chief engineer) launched more mass to orbit last year than the rest of the world combined, a remarkable turnaround from the failure of US companies to be commercially competitive.

There are things worth being skeptical of. “Full self-driving,” for instance or even, sure, the Solar City deal (although arguable). Perma-skeptics like Thunderf00t, though, never acknowledge this kind of stuff.
I read on a bumper sticker though that "science doesn't lie".

Most people, including workers, do not like inflation because they don't expect their own wages to rise in real terms. But they could, e.g. the shifting of relative prices is possible even if the general price level is going up. But rarely does inflation benefit workers. For example now we have average real wages falling by 3%, which is not good news for workers, and that fall is entirely due to inflation.

Looking at the exact numbers 21% of people in Washington live in Eastern Washington whereas those 3 counties you listed house 52% of the state.

It makes sense that even if you had less Culp voters proportionally if you look at over half the state you will find more people in absolute numbers. Your cherry picked absolute numbers are less functional than looking at proportions.

Lets go to the map!

https://www.politico.com/2020-election/results/washington/

2020 Election Results By County:

King: Biden 75.4% Trump: 22.4%

Pierce: Biden 54.2% Trump: 42.9%

Snohomish: Biden 58.9% Trump 38.2%

Eastern WA

Stevens: Biden 27.7% Trump 70%

Douglas: Biden 36.9% Trump 61.2%

Spokane: Biden 46.3% Trump 50.7%

Through most of Eastern WA Trump got 60-70% of the vote in a state where overall he got 39% of the vote. The division is extremely clear.

In case its not lets look at Culps race.

https://www.politico.com/2020-election/results/washington/go...

King: Inslee 74.3% Culp 25.7%

Spokane: Inslee 45% Culp 55%

Stevens: Inslee 26.1% Culp 73.9

If Eastern WA was its own state it would be as Red as Tennessee. If Western WA was its own state it would be bluer than California.
You can of course. There's a risk the the stock will move quickly through your limit and you stop out somewhere beyond it. This is unbounded in a sense but not generally problematic on a highly traded stock like Tesla.

There is so many people claiming a bubble on Tesla comparing it to a car company and pointing to fundamentals. Tesla is a high growth technology company. Their valuation is all about what they could become.

The most talented young people all want to work for Tesla. They have made tons of progress and they have the culture and plans to continue to innovate. None of the old car companies can attract the talent the way Tesla does. They only need to capture the market on one of their big bets to be a runaway tech stock like FAANG.

They've got electric cars, batteries(Powerwall), Solar roofs, cross country supercharger stations, and full self driving. Any one of these things could fuel a company by itself.

It still doesn't change anything, this type of research is getting too easy/too cheap to say that policy can save us from it. Somewhere someone will be doing it knowing the goal is to invoke genocide like final solution.

It's easy to criticise, but I'd be interested to know 1. Some key ways in which this model breaks down outside of the West, 2. A good summary of the literature you mention?
I tend to sympathize with this attitude, and while it is absolutely true that the world needs to be better prepared for pandemics regardless of origin, I don't think it's correct that the origin of the disease doesn't matter.

Just from a scientific perspective, we should know where covid-19 came from. If it hopped from bats to people in a wet market, that tells us something about the likelihood of this type of virus spreading from contact with wild animals. If it was accidentally released from a lab, that tells us something different.

In a healthy geopolitical environment, an impartial investigative team that's able to pinpoint the source of the original transmission could make this information public so that everyone can learn how to avoid this happening again. If the pandemic happened because policy enforcement at the virus lab in Wuhan was weak, this is worth knowing. Not to to lay blame and point fingers, but to help labs worldwide identify potential weak points in their own procedures.

The danger is that if evidence points to an accidental lab release, some Western politicians will seize on the opportunity to shame China just for the sake of national chauvinism. This will accomplish nothing positive. The Chinese Communist Party is very thin skinned and essentially amoral so they'll have no compunctions about covering up any evidence of a lab leak in order to save face. All of this political stuff risks getting in the way of helping the scientific community understand where covid-19 came from so we'll have a better understanding of how to reduce the chances of this happening again.

> I doubt it. I'm honestly just as confused as you are, though: lossless audio streaming was possible since Bluetooth 4.0 (and before, with powerful enough encoding). Sony has been doing it for years over their LDAC codec, and Apple's AAC codec could probably do most of the heavy lifting with some minor updates

LDAC isn't lossless afaict, and the size difference between lossy and lossless codecs is generally an order of magnitude.

Of course it could also just be lack of a decoder in the headset :D

Airliners carry a lot of fuel. The wings are fuel tanks, and there are more in the belly. There's so much fuel they cannot even land after takeoff without dumping it.

Of course there is a way. The Hindenburg's dialectric problem could have been solved. It's frankly incredible how good we have gotten at making airliners safe despite being pretty much a flying bomb.

How to Make Money on YouTube – The Easiest Ways
I'm the founder of a company working to solve this exact problem. Revisit rate of Planet's 200+ Dove satellites are quite good (multiple/day) but are comparatively low-res compared to their Rapideye satellites, of which there are fewer. There are a slew of others (Maxar is the next biggest name that comes to mind) but the thesis is low earth orbit is getting crowded, satellites are incredibly expensive even with off-the-shelf parts and falling launch costs, and hardware capabilities are locked-in at launch.

We're taking the approach of using "free energy" in the form of 100,000+ daily commercial/freight/general aviation aircraft to crowdsource aerial imagery using mobile phones to start. Passengers who opt-in are rewarded with free in-flight wifi (where equipped), and we use the device to do orthorectification and photogrammetry at the edge before transmitting it back down via satellite internet. I'm glossing over much of the actual process, but this frees up a ton of computing that would otherwise have to be done on the ground. In the event the flight is not internet connected, we cache previous images based on flight path and upload the difference after comparing old vs. new on the device once signal is restored. End result is a massive boost in both temporal and spatial resolution at a dramatically lower cost. Think Google Maps, updated every few minutes.

You haven't read enough evidence to know the cause no matter how much you follow the case as we have hardly started collecting evidence. It's still in early preliminary stages.

To find a source we need a host. We haven't even found a host from SARS yet even though that happened back in 2002. All we have is a very closely related one (96% match?) and that was found in 2020. It takes a lot of work by scientists living among wild animals for years in often very remote locations.
