Wouldn’t you just need a police officer to go to court and say they are accusing you based on said evidence and then you still face the accuser

The huge invasions of privacy seem like a much bigger issue but I am also not a legal expert

Find a hobby that you enjoy that is remotely social, then perform said hobby and comment on it with other people, after talking with the same person a bit ask their name, try not to jump the gun but after a few times of talking with them casually see if they want to do X hobby together then after doing the hobby together for a bit ask them to do something after the hobby one day like get food

Then once you become friends try and meet their friends then kill the original person and steal all of their friends, you can then repeat this until you have enough friends or someone kills you

A paper from around a decade ago talked about using WiFi to identify key strokes so with large data models we have today I would assume they could get pretty good fidelity on a person. Maybe not enough for “beyond a reasonable doubt” but probably enough where your WiFi company is selling your data on what you do at home

Myth of Sisyphus is a great book if you want to lean into the absurdism

Modern subs are almost all nuclear powered so less of the diesel smell (still some from lubricants) but nuclear subs can be underwater for weeks at a time so they have to scrub the air which is an imperfect process that leads to some funky smells

It requires inference… maybe that’s a bit too complicated for you

Considering your restatement was wrong I am going to assume it’s you

“ How many cars are sold per year in the US compared to Europe?”

It’s a comparison between two places and one sells more than the other. The answer to which one sells more is the US

Well this is a waste of my time so I will leave you with one final look up. How many cars are sold per year in the US compared to Europe?

Hint the answer is the US

Imagine you owned a store, what seems better, having 40 customers come in and all of them buy or having 80 people come in and all use up time with a salesman and then only 45 people purchase. You would end up spending a much more significant amount of the sales revenue on the larger showroom and more staff. This isn’t my opinion this is why the American market has been prioritized, that and the fact that Americans spend more on cars per year

California has different emissions requirements (not safety) but since they are a strict upgrade to the rest of the US (and comparable to other int markets) as long as you follow their requirements all cars in the US can be sold without any contradictory requirements

A very common kpi used is to examine the success of a campaign in a per target demographic so having the much lower response rate is worse

If you are making an ad campaign, all of the US speaks the same language, generally has the same safety regulations, and a much larger percent of the people are your target ad personnel

The EU is a cohesive unit for regulations but speak many different language and once you branch out of the EU to all of Europe you can see why there are huge advantages to advertising in the US.

So no it’s not the absolute number that matters

There are around 290m cars in the us for the 330m people

There are around 420m cars in Europe for the 730m people

So while the actual amount of cars in all of Europe is more than the US the percent car ownership in a single country is insane

You are a billionaire you can custom design a new car with no spyware using reliable parts from other large brands

So why not keep time as a constant and if individual places want to change times they can do that

Even just single states can have vastly different sunrise and sunset times and changing 300m people’s schedules so that a few people can have a few extra minutes of sun in the morning for part of the year seems absolutely ridiculous

A local school district could very easily do a 1 hour shift as the sunrise gets later so that it properly aligns with their local school pickup times

It’s not a joke if you hit boron with a neutron it releases the energy in the form of an alpha particle which is just a helium atom.

So take some boron-10 put it in a neutron flux and you get helium. This is being done in nearly every nuclear power plant in the world every second

Helium may not be renewable but we can manufacture it from things like boron

Well you see three is the phrase pussy cat and there is this thing called a bussy and if you put them together you get a bussycat

R134 was the “safe” refrigerant to replace R-12 because R12 is 11000x more potent of a ghg than co2

There are some new refrigeration units that use R600 but the vast majority of refrigerators are still R134

R600 being a highly flammable gas (it’s butane) has slowed its rollout a lot. Hence why a solid state non volatile refrigerant is still a cool development

Old school refrigerants were absolutely horrendous ghg even modern ones are pretty bad with R134 being 1430x worse of a ghg than CO2

If we can reduce that, that’s good! And metals like titanium are recyclable so yes initially extracting them is bad but the full lifecycle isn’t as terrible

It depends what you want to do

Community college can make networking with professors harder. However considering the laughably small percentage of people who ever do undergrad research this doesn’t matter for most people.

In capitalism as a whole economic mobility is not very prevalent. If you are born poor you generally have a worse education, worse nutrition, worse job prospects, etc

If you are born rich it is orders of magnitude easier to end up in a high paying career since you have a financial support system

The idea here would be to make sure everyone is given the same tools to succeed and the same options. For example anyone who can pass their could go to med school vs only people who can afford to go without a livable income for 13 years while working 60-100 hours weeks

Then you reward people who choose to do things others don’t want to do which is the compromise

You can have that as home as well where the person who cleans the bathroom gets an extra cookie after dinner

This is in huge contrast to capitalism where the owner of the house gets the entire box of cookies and is benevolent enough to spare a pittance of food in exchange for the bathroom being cleaned

Everyone would have their basic needs met, and nobody would have 10,000x what other people have
