seventyone··on The aging U.S. power grid is about to get a jolt
You don't need to build new lines, just replace the existing. The new conductor tech is incredible

seventyone··on The Alaska Supreme Court takes aerial surveillance's threat to privacy seriously
No. The right to privacy should be inviolable. This is no different than the state trying to shove client side CSAM scanning on everyone. "Think of the theoretical children" / "think of the theoretical slaves" doesn't move the needle.

I don't know how to square this with satellite imagery, etc. But intentional surveillance from the sky is pretty messed up.

seventyone··on The big lie about sleep
This is the reality that nobody wants to accept as the root cause of these problems
seventyone··on Microplastics Are Everywhere - Here’s How to Avoid Eating Them
It's against health code for restaurants to use wooden cutting boards and that's also why the color coded plastic boards have invaded home kitchens too
seventyone··on Researchers cracked an 11-year-old password to a $3M crypto wallet
You're making this up. Doing illegal transactions on a public ledger where the off ramps are all KYC makes it easier for them to trace criminal activity than the traditional international banking systems.

Amazon doesn't even have a QA department, so what's there to be proud of in terms of their software engineering practices? The customers are literally the QA. This is not a hyperbole.
seventyone··on Fossil fuels could have been left in the dust 25 years ago
We should use the infinite money hack to print all the money we need to fund everything we wish to exist, right?
seventyone··on Cement recycling method could help solve one of the big climate challenges
How does this address the emissions of concrete's curing process? There's no way you can have "zero emission concrete". I've seen proposed additives that will reduce the emissions during the curing process but that chemical reaction is going to have to happen regardless.
seventyone··on Tesla's Sales in Europe Fall to a 15-Month Low
Amazing, this flew under the radar for me
seventyone··on Tesla's Sales in Europe Fall to a 15-Month Low
How did you get a Bolt for only $8k? What rebates are offered by whom on used cars?! When did they start doing that?

And as always, the number one reason to buy a Tesla is "best charging infra available". That's it. You still can't drive a non-Tesla across the country reliably. The other charging networks are in a terrible state of disrepair (far worse than Teslas!) and have significantly fewer locations which makes long distance travel in an EV impractical.

Americans don't need every car they own to be able to drive across the country, but they certainly want to. It's hard to get that out of people's heads.

Beautiful. Buy a copy and frame it.

seventyone··on Tornado Cash Developer Found Guilty of Laundering $1.2B of Crypto
> In no world is "separate my funds from those the operators of Tornado believe are illicit" good faith.

I'm quite certain Tornadocash didn't believe the addresses were illicit; they got the list from the government like everyone else does. If you have proof Tornadocash kept made their own list of criminals please share your source

yeah I recall this article about it

seventyone··on Who Wants 30k Used Teslas?
for a standard 20% downpayment so you aren't screwing yourself over so badly on your mortage, $30,000 only works if your house somehow magically only costs $150,000. Good luck finding that in this market. These days your downpayment needs to be closer to $100k.
seventyone··on Boeing violated deal that avoided prosecution after 737 MAX crashes, DOJ says
can you point me to any official document anywhere that uses the term "strategic defense contractor"?
seventyone··on Reasons not to take Lumina's anticavity probiotic
I guess I am going to die from making my own kombucha, kefir, and yogurt because the FDA isn't regulating it.

WHAT IF... the mass increase in colon cancers in young people is due to gut bacteria colonies being taken over by a strain of bacteria in mouths that also survives stomach acids? What if that is causing the huge increase in IBS? What if the high carb diets and alternative sugars being consumed at mind boggling rates is a root cause? That the oral bacteria has been overtaken by a strain optimized for these carbs but is actively harmful to our bodies?

And what if fixing it is a treatment like this?

I'm willing to gamble.

Signed,

older millenial who has suffered with IBS for years

edit: If I could get a fecal transplant procedure in the USA to replace my gut colony I totally would.

edit2: fun fact -- did you know Sucralose accumulates in the environment because almost nothing breaks it down? it's pretty close to being a forever chemical. We can tell how much treated sewage injected into the water table is leaking into the ocean by measuring the amount of Sucralose in the ocean waters near the shoreline. That and nitrogen. But glug glug drink up those sugar free sodas and energy drinks!

seventyone··on Telegram has launched a pretty intense campaign to malign Signal as insecure
So they lost and have to give up the information/metadata they have. It's just good news that it wasn't much. But that's not guaranteed to always be the case.
seventyone··on Boeing violated deal that avoided prosecution after 737 MAX crashes, DOJ says
We've put military contractors in prison for bid rigging and fined them hundreds of millions of dollars for defrauding us before. Within the last decade, even. Boeing is not immune.

> "strategic defense contractor"

What even is this term?

"Winning" would mean not having to comply with the subpoena...
seventyone··on Zimbabwe launches a new currency again
France knew this was coming and converted a sizable amount of dollars to gold. The world lost trust we wouldn't abuse the dollar. We did anyway and then held a gun to their heads by making Saudis push OPEC to only sell oil for dollars. Problem solved for America.
