BYD was founded in 1995 as a battery manufacturing company. If you have doubts about their scalability then I suggest you look at their vehicles sales year by year. Scaling does not seem to be a problem they have.

Thanks, you're right, I'm off by x365. But still it's a very insignificant value.

Global population approximately: 8.44E+09, Energy to heat 1 liter of water in electric kettle: 80 watt hours, 1 Watt hour ~ 2.78E-15 exajoules. Global energy consumption approximately: 600 exajoules.

8.44E+980 watt hours(2.78E-15 exajoules/watthours)= 1.88E-03 exajoules 1.88E-03/600 = 3.12E-6 or .000312% of the global energy use.

In simple words. Banning kettles would do nothing to cut global energy use.

If all that is true it is a concern. I'm not going to make any changes until I see some validation. Validation from other media, or seeing a decline in quality of product.

Thank you for including other reports. However, everything seems to link back to 404. Convo.casa is just quoting 404I'm suspicious that 404 has a grudge against Proton, but I am open minded.

The articles seem damning. However, CEOs jumping on board the AI bandwagon is not particularly rare. I don't see a CEO pushing AI as reason to change my email provider. If it manifests to be a problem, then sure I will switch. So far I haven't seen any repercussions.

I've been reading articles suggesting that AI use alters ways of thinking. Humans certainly adapt to the tools they use. If this is true, and what a huge caveat that is, then the divergence in ways humans think: AI using and non-AI using will be interesting to watch. Although it will probably be decades before any significant conclusions are reached.

I find your Amish example is striking and accurate.

I stayed a couple of months at a place that listed laundry facilities that turned out to be a couple of deep sinks with a built in wash board. I didn't find it physically difficult but it was very boring work. Key lesson I learned, don't use more soap than necessary. Excessive soap just increases the time spent rinsing.

If I understand correctly, most solar panels operating optimally around 77F,25C. They decrease in efficiency at higher temperatures. "For every degree Celsius above 25°C, a solar panel’s efficiency typically drops by about 0.3% to 0.5%, depending on the specific panel." So, when it gets around 38C that's maybe 6% less efficient. Not a huge decrease, but something to consider when building your desert solar farm.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HeadOn My strongest argument that ads were never properly vetted. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeopathy There's whole sections of homeopathy in stores. So it's still occurring.

It sounds like you are victim blaming. I apologize in advance if I interpreted you incorrectly.

I checked mine on Amazon Japan's site. While it had some categories: height, weight, age, fit attributes, and shoe sizes: nothing was populated.

I can only guess that there's hidden information that indicates I'm extremely privacy conscious. But it could be possible that information is populated by cookies which I don't allow.

I'd be hesitant to give any app any sort of access to my checking account. I would only do so with a second account with just enough there to cover my purchase. While it is a nuisance, the phone is simply too large of an attack vector to consider anything else.

This isn't some big unknown experiment played out globally with no way of going back. Aedes aegypti has been successfully eliminated in a number of countries over a long time span. No country to date has ever reported unplanned consequences from eliminating Aedes aegypti. Guess what, if there are consequences, Aedes aegypti can easily be reintroduced into the local ecology. Mosquitos it turns out breed voraciously especially when encouraged.

I enjoyed the article, lots of good advice centered around contact lists. But in my humble opinion, the best strategy is to take steps to avoid needing an emergency contact list.

Did you file for a patent in Japan? Foreign countries are not bound by United States patents; U.S. patent rights only apply within the United States.

"TDK demonstrates the world’s first direct retinal projection display for smart glasses using a meta-optic mirror". The qualifier is different. "using a meta-optic mirror" versus "using oscillating mirrors"

I appreciate your comment on the history.

United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) was established in 2003.

Deportations occurred before ICE and deportations can occur after ICE is dissolved. I'm genuinely curious at your questions. Do you believe people could just sneak across the border and live in United States forever before ICE existed, and that it somehow stopped with the formation of ICE?

An app named Hamilton. "I named the app after my dog..." Who is your dog named after? Is this a dog whistle?

Wandering around Tokyo on Google Maps is fun. However, it pales in comparison to walking around Tokyo.

It might work, it might be quackery.

If there are any scientific studies or governments that have approved the use of Wolverine blend, I could not find them. I'd be interested if anyone else has better information.

I do not think so. Most insulin can last 28 days outside the fridge, but not frozen insulin.

What stopped me from buying flagship phones is the repair costs for phones are far too expensive in relationship to the value of the phone. Results will vary, but waterproofing usually diminishes after a repair.

"How can we be so arrogant? The planet is, was, and always will be stronger than us. We can't destroy it; if we overstep the mark, the planet will simply erase us from its surface and carry on existing. Why don't they start talking about not letting the planet destroy us?" — Paulo Coelho

Apologies, I was looking at European Union. I see Norway is not imposing tariffs and there may be variance in other non EU countries as well. Thank you for pointing out the issue.

The key word is possibly. Any statement with possibly in it could be true or false, it is speculation.

"BYD faces a 17% tariff on imported electric vehicles in EU, in addition to the standard 10% base rate."

"BYD has sold 19,241 fully electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles in Europe last month, a 255% soar from the same period a year ago."

Small numbers, but I am pretty sure they're in Europe. https://eletric-vehicles.com/byd/byd-sales-in-europe-more-th...

Edited: Tariffs vary across Europe, particularly in non EU nations.
