What about people who ace standardized tests, but are open to "conspiracy theories"? Just outliers? I've seen a couple.

My point was to defend ADSSDA's post against deeviant's claims.

Personally, I would like light EVs.

The first link cites multiple papers, including the one in the second link. Looks like the study that mentions "resuspension" is a different study[1] than the one in the second link.

The original GP's post had two points:

- most PM 2.5 pollution is produced by brake pad and tire wear

- which [i.e. PM 2.5 pollution produced by brake pad and tire wear] is made worse by EVs due to their weight

These are direct quotes from my links:

- "A large fraction (50-85% and up to 90%) of traffic generated PM10 and PM2,5 is not due to the exhaust emissions by the motor, but rather to non-exhaust emissions (brake wear, road wear, tyre wear and road dust resuspension)"

- "A positive relationship exists between vehicle weight and non-exhaust emissions."... "Electric vehicles are 24% heavier than their conventional counterparts."

I wonder what the PM1 and under figures would look like. I recall seeing some analysis stating that the bulk of car related PM was smaller than PM1.

Idk if you tried looking at any evidence when making your claim, but this clearly supports the gp and contradicts your statement [1] [2].

Ah, I now understand the latest comic.

Hm, this was a few weeks ago. I just thought it was ridiculous that a creator would put an ad every three minutes on a three hour video. I guess it's possible.

There were some other creators that I saw some less egregious but still questionable cadences with, which I thought would go against their general ethos (like ads every five minutes on an hour long video by a person who is generally against a culture of over-capitalization).

Maybe A/B tests?

And are you 100% certain your sister and sister-in-law are average Americans?

You don't think that drastically increasing the amount of particulate matter in the air that we breath could be a bad idea?

You talk as if you're 100% certain about these things, which is obviously not possible.

One possibility would be for YouTube to take a larger cut from content creators that do monetize, and the leave the unmonetized content alone.

I wonder if Bitcoin Cash or something similar can fit that void. It's already possible to send cents for reasonable fees.

> forced ads

Recently, some people were trying to tell me that ads are entirely controlled by the video uploader, when I brought up some videos that clearly had way more ads than any content creator would reasonably allow.

> help a lot in mapping our roots

Do people actually care about this?

> Utter the words "national security"

And probably soon "public health"

What would you say about the 104 year old practitioner in the article then? Do you think he was he part of modernized version?

I would think, psychologically, it feels more of a two way relationship, rather than one way (i.e. you working constantly for the company with them only occasionally reciprocating)

> fairly large swathe of society

I don't think a majority necessarily carries power. The uber rich and intelligence agencies carry far more power than any mass of citizens.

No rights are objectively fundamental. It's subjective. If people in power don't agree to act as though certain rights are fundamental, they cease to be enforced, even if lip service is paid.

> the technology can’t exactly identify a car or person. “You can say if it's a car, or if it's a truck, or it's a bike. But you cannot say, ‘Oh, this is a Nissan Sentra, 2019,’” says Stanford University geophysicist Ariel Lellouch, who uses DAS but wasn’t involved in this study but did peer-review it. “Anonymity of DAS is one of the biggest benefits, actually.”

Good.

Why was this predicted a year ago by NGOs [1]? Do they have some special insight into this that cyber security specialists didn't? Are these kinds of supply-chain attacks at this scale new, or newly enabled? Is this a technically impressive attack, or is this just a bunch of backdoors?

Quotes below are from a different article from a source that HN won't let me post. Looks like only conspiracy theory sites are applying any scrutiny to this.

> "The simulation, called Cyber Polygon 2021, was announced by Russia’s largest state-run bank Sberbank in February.

> “The key message voiced by experts at WEF and other international platforms is that supply chain security is to become a major cybersecurity issue in 2021,” Sberbank stated. "

Did you think it was an unintentional technical liability, or did you think it was intentional?

This is hilarious and ridiculous. How can they justify censoring testimony in Congress?

This isn't a study. Looks like they're recruiting people for a study at the moment. They have anecdotal self reports that 30% - 40% of people with long covid felt better after being vaccinated, but they also say 10% - 15% felt worse. Seeing how subjective this is, I would wait for the study to happen, and for the dependent variable to be something other than self-reports.

Even so, for people who have been infected and don't have long covid, it's entirely reasonable to skip the vaccine, as far as we currently know.

And there is evidence that the vaccine has no benefit on those infected [1]. Either way, this is clearly an open question, and avoiding the vaccine if you have been previously infected is, at minimum, a reasonable stance.

The only point I'm making is that for those who have already had Covid, taking the vaccine is mostly downside, since it won't offer any more protection than they already have from being infected, and it has the potential, however small, for side-effects. I'm saying nothing about comparing vaccine side-effects to Covid effects.

You misunderstood. I'm talking about those who have already been infected.
