You will have to look that up I guess.

The mines are also in China. What's your point? Why are you asking obvious question?

But it reduces the load because you don't pay attention to the road? I know cruise control reduces the load because I don't pay attention to my speed.

Out of curiosity, how do you use the self-driving? Do you pay attention to the road with your hands on the wheel in case it fails or do you just, I don't know, look at the landscape? If you pay attention to the road what's the benefit over cruise control?

Yeah, I don't know how train in Germany are branded.

Two Avant tickets to Granda: 60 Euro.

Gasoline to drive two people and a EV bicycle to Granada: 30 Euro.

No one buys a car and pays 4000 in insurance and taxes to make a single trip.

IMHO Breaking Bad is exactly like modern day X-Files. That's why I hated it. BB happens in TV reality. It all feels incredibly fake, artificial and manufactured. In the 90s that's all we had: fairly small and disjointed TV shows built on common tropes and similarly produced. Breaking Bad is a modern show that pretends to be more complex but in reality just regurgitates all the same tropes. That's why it was so popular: it was same old stuff in shiny new packaging.

I think there should be two parallel networks:

  • anonymous one run by private corporations or volunteers with heavy moderation and the company taking full responsibilityp for anything posted there. pretty much what EU is trying to establish. You want to make money of anonymous posts? You take financial responsibility for making sure there's nothing illegal on the platform. You could still have right leaning sites but with no misinformation or harassment. Fedivers instances that notoriously post illegal content would get the same treatment as neo-nazi sites.

  • publicly owned platforms (like mastodon instances) available for everyone for free but with no anonymity: you want to make something public, complain about something or simply interact with normal people you can always go there. Less moderation would be needed so it would be cheaper to run. Users will be responsible for the things they post, not the platform.

This way if Twitter is unable to moderate their content you block it and people would have public instances as an alternative. We would see if running a platform like that with proper moderation is still profitable. If not they would start charging people or shut down. I don't think losing sites like Facebook or Twitter would a big problem if we had public alternatives.

Find? More like manufacture.

It's in the article. They were aiming for 1B, grew 800m.

Years ago I was following "alternative science" channels (for fun) and one of their ideas was to put metal rods in a field and apply current to increase plant growth. Their other ideas were intelligent plasma generating free electricity and using water as fuel so I dismissed the "electric soil" idea as another idiotic experiment although the least crazy one. Could they be on to something after all? Not with the intelligent plasma of course, just the electricity and plants.
