I agree about the needless misleading of expectations. Some, but not all, is - I suspect - well-meaning public sharing of ambitions based on most favourable ideal timelines - something very common across most Musk-led businesses. I usually read that stuff as a partial sharing of stream-of-consciousness ideas and targets before there's a fully formed plan of execution - where reality often imposes impediments!

In your Viet Nam scenario and similar cases I wonder if it is (partially) a result of the Starlink plan to use direct satellite to satellite LASER links to relay data in low earth orbit to a more remote existing ground station?

As in, if I recall correctly, SpaceX originally expected to be launching 'block 2' satellites with LASER links in mid 2021 but suffered internal hidden delays (that led to Musk's internal SpaceX existential warning in October 2021 and firing of some senior staff) so the first batch were only recently launched in early 2022.

Those LASER links being in place are likely a prerequisite for serving territories where SpaceX cannot obtain favourable permissions for ground stations.

Violence huh?

That's what this conversation is devolving into, a fluidic interpretation of violence? Seems like a strawman argument; change the topic to violence, then argue a truism that violence is bad... all the while maintaining a pretend causal link between privacy and violence?

Sorry. Not. Persuasive.

That said, for the sake of civility and moving past this distractio... I will concede the point you seem so adamant to make, violence is not so simple. But again, not on-topic here, and it adds nothing to the conversation.

Apple gets a lot of focus on it that other companies do not.

Ex. Headlines often focus on Apple when revealing some of Foxconn's worst labor practices. But stories about Foxconn using child labor to build Alexa devices, and the person who blew the whistle on that being tortured and put in jail for revealing it, went fairly under the radar in comparison. It's definitely a good thin that unethical labor practices being used to build our stuff is discussed, just the headlines and initial focus might lead laymen to believe one American hardware company is causing this, rather than most.
> also a bit rich for the US to be complaining about this kind of thing

The U.S. isn't complaining as much as shutting down a threat vector. Shooting back isn't hypocritical.

Also, you get the right to complain when you're allies, just as Germany had the right to complain when the NSA was caught tapping Merkel.
Right, but that could probably be explained away as “Hah, they couldn’t figure out how to strike a deal with the ethereal being, but we have the best mystic in the tribe with us!”

I’m not saying the experts did a bad job at all. This is probably about the best you could do to communicate with a culture of unknown technological complexity, far off into the future. I’m just saying, as good as it might be, this communication is likely still pretty imperfect :)
What tracker is comparable in price? An AirTag is $30 with no other monthly costs.

This article is largely correct. You can argue that it's "not technically a Ponzi," but rather some other type of scam, but the semantics are not interesting.

The following excerpt is a point that many seem to miss.

> In fact, investors won’t — on average — be able to cash out for even as much as they put in. Much of that money went to cryptocurrency mining. Recent analysis shows that around $25 billion and growing has already gone to Bitcoin miners, who, by best estimates, are now spending $1 billion just on electricity every month, possibly more.

> That money is gone forever, having been converted to carbon and released into the atmosphere — making cryptocurrencies even worse than traditional Ponzi schemes. Most of the money lost in Bernie Madoff’s infamous Ponzi was eventually clawed back and returned to investors. Much of the money put into cryptocurrency, even if courts could trace back tangled webs of semi-anonymous cryptocurrency transactions, can never be recuperated.
If cars, on average, last 20 years, 10% of cars get replaced in two years time. That can be significant.

I also would think cars that get replaced are driven a lot more kilometers per year, so chances are a lot over 10% of all kilometers driven were in newer cars.

⇒ I’m not convinced increasing the speed limit didn’t make roads less safe.

Reading https://www.cato.org/sites/cato.org/files/pubs/pdf/pa346.pdf, fatality rate dropped from about 1.7 to about 1.6. That’s about 6%.

Eyeballing figure 1 in https://www.euro.who.int/__data/assets/pdf_file/0015/43314/E..., I see a drop that could be of similar size in the EU, too.

⇒ I’m not convinced increasing the speed limits made the roads less safe, either.

In general, highways are about the safest roads, anyways, so you probably would have to look at safety only on those roads with higher speeds to be able to answer the question whether safety went up/down/nowhere.
You're totally correct about RJ45 not being waterproof, but a point made in the video, and one that I whole-heartedly agree with, is that there's no reason this needs to be a proprietary cable.

Interesting. I was only taught engine breaking from the practical perspective of down-shifting, but not the details of why it works. I understood the implicit effects of shifting down - maintaining the same high RPM with the same high resistance as a vehicle slows... but never gave much thought to what exactly those resistances were, I just assumed it was a combination of friction, compression, driving an alternator, other arbitrary mechanical losses etc.

Would there really be no significant braking effect without that "high manifold vacuum"? I suppose the engine does have a lot of mass so I could believe the effect could be too slow to be useful.

I can't find much besides models for < 16 unfortunately.

However, for 16-40, Patone, et al[1] estimates that myocarditis incidence is around 2/mil for AstraZeneca, 1/mil for Pfizer per does, and 6/mil for Moderna first dose, 10/mil for the second, compared to 40/mil for an active infection.

Singer, el al[2] (pre-print) states that males < 20 are roughly 6x less likely to develop myocarditis from vaccination compared to an infection.

The AMA[3] also has some info on both myocarditis and MIS-C. 95% of those who developed MIS-C were unvaccinated, and up to 40% required some sort of respiratory or cardiovascular life support (compare to 0% of those vaccinated). Also states ages 12-15 appear less likely to develop myocarditis than the 16 - ~40 range.

Everything I've read so far is that myocarditis from vaccination usually resolves fairly quickly.

Your comment brought to mind this story written by the late, great John Perry Barlow: https://www.eff.org/pages/crime-and-puzzlement

My impression is that the young generations are growing up in an environment where the lines between their "digital life" and "real life" are almost completely blurred. Whether it is socializing with their peers, dating, going to school, or getting a job - so much of "being online" nowadays involves people being groomed as both the consumer and the product. It did not feel that way to me in the 90's and early 2000's, although that might not quite fit the definition of "older folks."

The trick is to match the rpms as the engine drops naturally you just slot it in gear at the right moment. If you do it often enough at some point you don't even notice anymore until you try to drive another vehicle, at which point hilarity will ensue.

Those old beetles were just four speeds, pretty beefy gears. I never managed a good downshift though, I would cheat and very briefly depress the clutch so it wouldn't slip. Do it too long and you'd get that horribly expensive smell. I was dirt poor and got the car for free so I really couldn't complain. Baby blue. And it taught me to be very careful on wet surfaces with a rear mounted engine (took out a bicycle stand with it in front of one of the busiest coffee places in Amsterdam West, "Tramlijn Begeerte" (dutch translation of a 'streetcar called desire'). Funny little car.
It's well earned negativity. If you look at the "success" we've had with COVID-19 and climate change so far, there's little reason to believe we're up to the challenges that are here/coming. Yes, there is plenty that we could do, but very little that we will do. All that's left is to brace for impact.
No. A felony is just a classification of serious crime. It has nothing to do with whether it has federal or state jurisdiction.

In theory it has to do with if the prison sentence can last more than a year.
Tile still isn't getting harped for stalking. I used a Tile to track down a backpack thief 5 years ago, could have easily been a person I was stalking.

Apple's getting a lot of flack because they're enormous, consumers are more aware, and they have a better network... but the fact that they did any stalker alerting is beyond anything the existing products in the market have done. I'd guess the product designers at Apple are probably constantly frustrated with this reality.

> I'd much rather have the shorter and safer trucks around than the current US designs.

My grandmother's best friend, when I was a child, was killed by a truck running over her while she was in a crosswalk (legally crossing the street). The light turned green while she was in front of the truck and he ran her over. They are so tall and set back so far, many of them can't see a person walking right in front of it.
As far as big SUVs go, I drive an '04 Ford Expedition (parents gave it to me years ago when they no longer needed the child transporter and it's stupid easy to keep running).

If I drive 55 mph, I get 20 mpg on the highway. If I "drive with the traffic" in CA, I can get as low as 14-15 mpg.

I assume Apple only cares enough about the anti-stalking feature to avoid significant negative press.

>Living close to a water source or reservoir doesn’t make conservation less important.

It doesn't necessarily make conservation less important. But it certainly does in some places like Chicago. They pull water from the same water shed that it eventually flows back into after use. And they control how much water flows from Lake Michigan into the Chicago river (and eventually the Mississippi River) via a damn.

It's probably a bit more complex than that, and creating that system did change the water flow in the Great lakes (but that damage was done 130 years ago). But right now, its essentially free water. In Illinois, all roads (waterways) lead to Rome (the Mississippi).
Can't speak for Kazakhstan, but Germany and surrounding countries have sauerkraut, pretzels, beer, cider, wine, french fries, dumplings, pumpernickel and many other breads and brötchen, apple sauce, veges like asparagus and kohlrabi, desserts with rhubarb, red currants, berries... Certainly most meals are meat- and dairy-forward, but it's not like there is nothing else in the cuisine.
Jump is very profitable.
SC is a textbook example of feature creep. And Chris Roberts has the same problem George Lucas did, a creative with a blank check and nobody to tell him no. If they had stuck to the original feature set as promised in the kickstarter nearly a decade ago then the game would have been released by now. Instead they waste time and resources on overly ambitious features that are mostly unfinished and more and more ships.

Do I think its a scam? Not strictly. I don't think they went in to this with the goal of taking people's money and not delivering. But I do think its horribly mismanaged.
