This could have been amazing if integrated into a district heating network.

this sends a clear message though. No the old “just hook them, then we have guaranteed income forever” isn’t actually working. That’s great.

but only if the platform is sufficiently large

hm, that sounds sensible actually

Are you ok?

oh no that one actually hits the nail on the head. That’s exactly how these read.

all the more reason for the allegory

that seems, inefficient

I’m pretty happy with my samsung. No really, hear me out, if power cuts out, when it resumes, the tv auto starts on the same input.

I have it connected to a pc, and use a smart plug for turning on and off. Haven’t seen a trace of the smarts for years :D

I’m straight, but…

He did the thing!

I mean, yeah, having good control and a sane culture around it, you couldn’t reach USA’s sheer number if you tried.

oh, well, luckily its not illegal for researchers in the rest of the world to study gun violence in America.

yeah I think the real world is more complicated. Like, its not just about numbers, but also how control is implemented and even culture.

That is absolutely fucked up, but whats the relevance?

notice how in the graph on wikipedia, excluding USA, the correlation is really not that strong.

dont get me wrong, i agree with the general sentiment, but bad data weakens even the best of cases.

Google controls search results and has been caught meddling. Which negates the first two.

No it doesn’t negate the forst two. It only addresses the second, and bypassing the results completely, exascerbates the problem quite a bit.

Cry me a river.

great argument.

• It helps spread false information widely

• It puts a lot of control of information in a single companies hands

• It hurts the underlying sources

When google provides the info directly, and the first hand sources has become completely obsolete and shut down, what would new information stem from? It’s an inherently unstable and short sighted solution.

this is problematic on multiple levels.

sorry, I literally confused left and right just then ;p

but they are?
