I would just like to give props to you for owning up and listening to the information. I do not in any way think that you were wrong in your reasoning, just that there was more context that is likely relevant which you hadn't been privy to, and once you were informed of it you reevaluated. Not everyone does that and I think a very valuable part of this community is when people do that (I know I'm not always particularly good at it myself).
I have not seen the other videos you're talking about but this one pretty clearly showed both consumers and companies why LTT should be treated with caution and skepticism. I'd say that that's relevant information beyond just "drama".
There's a joke that when the recommendation from the pandemic for standing six feet apart was removed, Finnish people sighed in relief because they could finally go back to their usual ten feet.
If we were talking about defederating from instances that promote pedophilia, would you still consider it a shitty feature?
Federation, or defederation, is kind of the core of a federated platform. Having different instances with different rules would make moderation impossible if defederation did not exist, maybe not in most cases but at the very least when it comes to fringe groups having their own instances.
The Nokia XR21 also has a 3.5mm jack. It's likely weaker performance-wise but it has a battery life of approximately 3 days so it won't run out of juice as quickly.
I have no idea about the statistics about motorcycle fatalities and for personal reasons I'd prefer not to get into them. I was just commenting on the way the statistics were calculated year-by-year with the assumption that the original statistics for fifty years were accurate. That being said, it's possible that those statistics were not completely correctly calculated as well.
if we divide each of those percentages by 50, we should come up with the odds of dying in a given vehicle per year,
I'm being very nitpicky but this isn't quite how it works, if you have a 90% chance of survival one year, you'd have 0.9^2 = 0.81= 81% chance of surviving two years in a row. With that in mind, the odds of dying should be relative to the fiftieth root of surviving fifty years, which gives:
Motorcycle: 0.478%
Car: 0.151%
Ferry: 0.065%
Amtrak: 0.0086%
Airplane: 0.0014%
Without additional decimals it's hard to see the change for the really small numbers but it doesn't make much of a difference in reality.
So, you're no longer arguing the topic but the person, do you have any rebuttal for the facts that they've presented? Any reason why you should be trusted above SVK?
Two things that are relevant is that Sweden is very, very dark during the winter which reduces the profitability of solar and also that it's extremely difficult to get approval for wind turbines right now.
Municipalities have the power to veto building projects and almost all of them choose to block wind power installations. Wind turbines generate sound, both audible and infrasound (which can disturb sleep), and are sometimes considered a bit of an eyesore which can both reduce the value of properties near them and make people less inclined to move to that region which reduces tax income for the municipality. This could be offset by taxation of the wind power, but currently all taxable income from wind turbines go to the state instead of any of the local governments.
There was recently an inquiry into how to make municipalities more likely to approve wind power construction and the restriction that the government gave them was that they were not allowed to suggest tax revenue being diverted to the local government. Which was the only suggestion that they said would be effective.
That's... the both sides argument.
