Some very few do, not sure if they're in China though.
"Windfarms hurt birds" is 90+% fossil fuel propaganda though. Yes birds run into windmills, they also run into skyscrapers and houses and antennas and planes.
We should of course look for ways to mitigate that. We should not just pretend smokestacks do no harm and not develop renewable energy projects.
Dogs are significantly more subjective. And there's a noticeable correlation with dogs trying to please their handler by indicating someone the handler is suspicious of.
Nothing is foolproof and its good to have more tools in the kit.
This kind of fundamental university based research is about to get a whole lot rarer in the US and that's not great.
In that case you're going from, for example 50% and 50% to 49% and 51%.
If you just have 100 people in a room divided evenly, and one person crosses the line in the middle, one side of the room has +1 person and the other is side has -1 person. There's a 2 person (2%) difference.
2 factor authentication via app/texting I'd imagine.
An authenticator app is better than basically anything but a physical token / key generator, but the apps are more universally supported. No one is probably going to spoof your phone number to get into your accounts.... But doesn't hurt to me more secure about it anyway.
I think I've mostly run across that with "no neutral" switches FWIW. It was confusing for a bit when setting up my garage.
Also very frustrating info to try and track down when buying sometimes.
They keep refering to them as "undocumented cellular radios", which either means they have no idea what they're talking about (very probable) or that they're concerned it's getting on the Internet. In theory, decades from now they could maybe all turn off simultaneously and cause a noticeable lack of power. I guess.
Mostly, it's very frustrating that the articles are all about what inverters and batteries are and that the US doesn't trust China, instead of what the things they say they found actually fucking are.
I can see thinking the tragedy of the commons is capitalist propaganda if you think there is a hard line between people and corporations.
The North Sea fishing industry didn't collapse because too many of the proletariat wanted to do a lot of fishing, it collapsed because thousands of people organized into dozens of groups that systematically overstrained the ecosystem. Because those groups wanted to make more profit for a small group of hundreds of people. Everyone involved was acting in their rational best interest with no oversight or regulation guarding the big picture view and it caused everyone involved to destroy their livelihoods. Other than the ones at the top who's livelihood is/was consolidating profit of course.
The tragedy of the commons isn't about how it's an individual's fault or responsibility. It's about how larger groups need disinterested guardrails for long term higher quality of life.
Yes, but littering used to be a legitimately big problem to. Like the hole in the ozone, now that it's "solved"/ the norm for it to be getting better the focus should shift to other things.
"Indistinguishable from malice" doesn't mean they're malicious. It means their ignorance is causing harm as if they were malicious.
Like say if someone didn't understand vaccines to such an extent that they voted to remove them. Causing harm.
Vaulted ceilings exist. Even in new construction there really isn't a universal answer for this. Different localities have different codes and norms.
I mess with SC and S42 every few years, have access from the kickstarter from way back when.
They're fine. They're even neat. But Elite Dangerous gives 90% of what their original promises were and has much more demonstrable development progress. Planetary systems without a loading screen is not as impressive as it was in the early 2010s. Kerbal Space Program was created and died since then.
I just have a basic pilots license (PPL) but a lot of rural airports it's normal to cancel radar services (IFR / flight following) when you have the airport in sight because there's no tower and you're making location callouts on the airport frequency in case there's traffic nearby. ATC can and will ask to let you go without if they're busy or whatever as well.
Especially in mountainous areas radar/transponder coverage can be pretty spotty unless you're pretty high up or near a larger airport.
Smells like any other random conspiracy theory.
