Ran into this over on Reddit
  • Meh, he also nuked hundreds of thousands of civilians, under the pretense to stop the war. If the Japs had the nuke and used on civilians in the US and US won the war anyway, i am sure it will be remembered more than concentration camps

  • Km is 103m cm is 10-2m so the difference is 105 i.e. 100000 (one with 5 zeroes)

    Or more intuitively one centi-meter is a 1/100 of a meter and Kilo-Meter is 1000 meter therefore 100*1000 100000

    It is quite intuitive, once you start using it

    What's weird is why we don't use Megameters and megagrams (i.e. one metric ton)

  • Replace ruling family with ruling class and this seems very fascist to me. Do as I say or else

    There are civilizations that went extinguished because they rebelled once conquered, and again history is written by who wins, we will never know (luckily) what history would say if Hitler or Mussolini won (the Mussolini part is just a joke, he never really had any chance without the Nazis)

  • If only there was a solution, I don't know, a cable resistent to jamming the ether, something we could call ether-jamming-resistant-network, in short Ethernet

    I know... I am just dreaming :-P

  • We should slowly invest and push for transition, but the current status quo is for early adopters and enthusiasts IMO

  • Nope,it's a problem in many other scenarios

    If i ride to vacation to a country with no charging infrastucture, if I want to ride to the mountains where it is subzero and my range drops dramatically, if I go to a place where it's 38 deree celsius and I need AC my range is pretty much fucked up... (not to mention that close to remote places like cool beaches there is no charging station)

    If I want to have a road trip... i suddenly becomes a planning issue

    There are still so many things that are complicated by having a EV, and I don't need the extra complications

  • The taxes should be an exponential function of the income, no tax brackets

    I never understood why it isn't like that

    At least a quadratic or cubic function

  • But that's about the local temperature of the year, it says nothing about the glaciers shrinking or expanding, also if glaciers are shrinking, wouldn't we lose some readings? I mean if the glacier this year is smaller than last year, means that we have lost at least one year readings (most likely much more than that), not to mention that it contradicts that ice gets deposited every year.

    It is my understanding that glaciers expand and shrink seasonally every year, and lately the expansion (if any) is always smaller than the shrinking, but it is a trend that started more than 100y ago (basically since when we started keeping record) and has been accellerating, because of this how can you extrapolate when to start dating in reverse? If you never saw a the, let's call it inflationary phase, how do you know when it reversed? The error might be small... or not

    Is there an error in my reasoning (or my assumptions)? Consider that I am not the only one having this doubts.

  • anyhow do you know the answer? Because I'd have a ton of questions, since the argument is complex and I don't like the hand-wavy argument "well he expert say so"

    Experts, scientists, luminaries in their field were prescribing lobotomies to mentally ills and castrations to gay people less than 100 years ago, so yes please always listen to the experts, but keep doubting their answers
