Ah, I misunderstood what you were asking; No I am not sure. I made my assessment based on what is available. If I’m proven wrong when Tesla either releases the data or more likely is forced to release the data by NHTSA, then I will stand corrected.
I read both articles you have linked to, I don’t think either of them contradict what I said. Both articles point out that Tesla dominate automation related accidents, which makes sense because Tesla has a far greater number of automation equipped cars on the road than other manufacturers. Furthermore they point out that those accidents have risen dramatically over the past few years. If you look at the graph on the WaPo article you linked to you’ll see it’s in agreement with what I said since Tesla switched to vision based systems in mid 2021.
Yes, because rising road fatalities and having lower than average road fatalities are not mutually exclusive. Radar-era autopilot was incredibly safe, so even though Elon made the stupid decision to make it vision-based which has caused fatalities to go up, they’re still below average. You can check NHTSA’s ratings just type in Tesla in the search bar and you’ll see that they’ve gotten a 5 star rating on every car in every category.
Of course if you look at Tesla’s own data they claim to the orders of magnitude safer, which I’m sure is only possible with some creative data manipulation, but it’s silly to claim that Tesla’s are less safe than average.
Well, Tesla is publicly traded, makes money, and clearly their cars work because they have lower than average road fatalities. With the disparity of how badly Twitter’s being run vs Tesla I wonder how long it’s been since Elon’s actually been in charge of anything other than being a spokesperson for Tesla.
This graph has some scale issues; 5 days and 2 months look basically the same and the difference between 5 years and 7 years is also minimal. They would have been better off dropping the “World Wide Web” which doesn’t fit anyway since it isn’t an app and giving more space to everything else.
Why not try starting a magazine with a very similar name? I think the magazines are case sensitive so maybe m/Hardware
I think that’s true for some niche topics, but other ones are better served by having dedicated communities from the start.
When I joined I made 2 magazines. One of them was about collecting Nintendo games and I quickly realized that I would have better discussions if I just joined the Nintendo magazine. I’ve basically abandoned it. The other I made, m/Otomegames I think is needed. We could post in the general gaming magazines, but there’s a whole bunch conventions and inside jokes that people who don’t play otome games wouldn’t understand.
Now for my shameless plug: do you like otome games? Do you not know what otome games are, but romance/adventure games made for women sounds intriguing? Come join us <- direct link. “@Otomegames @kbin.social” <- remove the space for federated peeps
Forgot to switch to your alt?
I see that difference as a rather significant one.
Apple could do this but they’d be driving away their customer base, the hardware is fine but software is really the reason to get an iphone.
Most of the cost will not be borne by me personally. Even if the price of food goes up, as someone from a rich country I already spend relatively little of my income on food. I suspect this is the case for most people reading this thread right now. So for me it is about morals not money. Yet, I fundamentally agree with you; money not morals is the easiest way to convince people to make a change. That’s why I focused on it in my original post.
I want to push back on your idea that food prices will continue to go up. IRL, I work in food sustainability, which means that companies hire me to to help them decrease the environmental impact of their companies. While the increasing global temperatures will push down yields if nothing changes, things are constantly changing and tons of people are working very hard to make sure that food yields are resilient to increasing heat. Plus, and this is the area I work in, we are working to reduce food waste at the producer level which will also help reduce upward price pressure.
Anyway, I’ve enjoyed our discussion
Oh nice. I wanted to talk about used phones, but I’ve only ever bought new so I struggled.
Of course not, it all comes at great cost to the planet. We obviously disagree on the necessity of a phone for modern society. In my frame of thinking where it is a necessity, I write from the point of view that obviously keeping your phone longer is better. It doesn’t even warrant mentioning. So my motivation for making this list was to encourage people to consider keeping their phones one year longer. To do that I have to list every single interval so that I can reach the people who most need the convincing: those who upgrade constantly.
Is being smug bad? It’s a feeling I enjoy so I listed it as a genuine benefit.
I’ve heard a few people say this and honestly I’m still confused. I got my iPhone XR’s battery replaced by apple themselves last year. I think it cost 80USD, which is too much, and EU law will be a welcome change. Hοwever, it’s still saves money even if it delays your new phone purchase by only one year.
Whenever I meet someone who brags about intentionally doing something bad for the environment anti-green, I look at them with disgust. I had a co-worker tell me that she got around the emissions tests for her pickup by buying one of those devices online, and she had the audacity to look at me like she expected me to be impressed.
Oh, for reference, I like a 5 year upgrade cycle. Currently I have an iphone XR, and I’m planning to get an iphone 15 this winter.
I love it when we get answers to what were thought experiments due to new tech or discoveries.
Isn’t that about 50 years? unless your grandkids are already born.
Cool, so it’s literally the opposite of Mastodon
Hi, thank you for your contributions!
I find myself wondering how many people we need to have a self-sustaining community. I’ve been making and stockpiling memes and discussion ideas so I can post regularly, but ideally there’d be enough people so that my posts aren’t the majority.
