cineticdaffodilon Growing proof that autonomous cars save lives

Good thing we get wiser with age. Oh, wait no we don't. We insist on driving while beeing unable to look over the shoulder or having dementia. Knew somebody whose by no deceased dementia afflicted father used google to navigate him home when he forgot where he was. Thats the accidents with a "confused" driver, not from the accident.

The good os also kind of is problematic. As in nazism was just a kind of hyper-imperialism by young countries to outrace other empires. And now 30 years after the "end of history" aka playing nice to bring down another empire, its back to the starting point.

I got a really cool picture out of this years eclipse:

If you zoom in, you realize that every little pinhole between the leaves of the trees, works as a pinhole camera, drawing a little sun circle- and that during a eclipse, the whole shadow is made of thousands of little eclipsed suns.

Is there something like a domino theory for earth quakes? Like first some stress releases in Venezuella, then the same stress travells further up the boundary, triggering a earth quake in a different region? Working its way up the plate boundary towards a big one like a fuse?

cineticdaffodilon Europe EV Sales BEVs Jump 50% & Reach 26% Market Share

The whole economic landscape of the us is artifical. As in what survives and thrives does not need to provide any value, but need only have political connections, to remove competition and be good enough to supress all alternatives.

The oil and gas industry survives and dictates policy not because its very influential- its simply the economic backbone of the empire via the petrodollar. https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Petrodollar

And the people life in de-concentrated large scale villages instead of cities, because the empire is in no need to tax economic activities such as moving large distances via driving a car efficiently. So the government, cursed with the ressource curse of beeing able to sell security outside of the us- pacifies the population with economic presents, which are often just frozzen in time retro trinkets.

One can not derive any political and economic lessons from such a strange diorama.

cineticdaffodilon EU rules on AI models become enforceable. What's going to change?

Take the agricultural policies in the EU. They want to correct against overproduction while doing ecologically good but they interpolate of cause from past data. Now take the hottest year on earth to come in 2027 due to El Nino and that collapsing already strained expected harvest and you are looking at reasonable policies producing starvation, due to a inability to plan for a future not in the data yet.

And the whole glut is artifical in the first place because surplus wheat is not allowed to be used as energy, no it must rot in storage snd get "animal grade" before you can use it otherwise. The whole reason the eu system still works is because the traders largely ignore the central planing system, shipping things from high regulated eu countries to "i dont give a f**" countries, recertify it there and then reimport.

cineticdaffodilon How Olinia Turns Mexico's EV Ambition into Reality

Thank you for putting the burden of proof on me instead of wearing that coat yourself- like the optics guy you are.

Well: Energy is 54 % of the money. Which is mostly for the industry up north. Renewables are decorative in the percentage.

Rail: 15.63 % - again mostly for the norther industrial zone- and some link ups with the southern neighbours (under the guise of helping the backwards regions down there).

Roads: 13.94 % same though alot of it is also for tourism. But also logistics.

Ports: 7% Sofar its mostly a trade and industry support program- bluntly directed at becoming the usas new industrial heartland.

The problematic part is that most of this infrastructure is private loan based investment in partnership with the mexican goverment. US-companies will own significant parts of the infrastructure down there and thus have a handle on the government.

This is mostly a "re-industrialize" the us plan without having the problems with industr you have in the us.
