“Human kidneys can only make urine that is less salty than salt water. Therefore, to get rid of all the excess salt taken in by drinking seawater, you have to urinate more water than you drank. Eventually, you die of dehydration even as you become thirstier.”

Please stop posting links to your papers all over the place not stating your the author and not explicitly embedding what you have to say in the comments themselves; as is, to me, you’re no better than a spammer.

In the comment above, you even copied and pasted it from your last comment and forgot to update the URL; that is, the URL above is from your prior comment which is formatted exactly the same way; stop spamming.

Is it correct Comma.AI sees this as the following statement below appears to say, or am I missing something? If so, why would anyone be using this product outside of a test environment that’s fully controlled?

Does anyone have any thoughts on the graphic showing the spectrum of testing options listed in the article (or additional resources that cover at a high-level this topic of understanding range of testing options)?
