I think over spraying pesticides also harmed their numbers.

I thought hdi did take into account using the median instead of the mean metrics, but I’m not super familiar with how hdi is calculated.

Here’s human rights index. Lots of different ways to measure things, none of them great.

Wait till we find one based on steel’s phase changes!
- Comment on Anon hates aluminum 4 days ago:
As far as machining goes, AL is easy mode compared to high carbon steels, tool steels, and inconels.

We’ve got up votes not likes
- Comment on Anon lives with their parents 5 days ago:
My area, you can get a house for 100k, a better one for 200k. If you’re saving most all income from a 75k job like programming, seems reasonable to be able to afford a house in that timeframe. But that’s with very very little spending and still pretty cheap houses.
- Comment on Anon lives with their parents 5 days ago:
Some people have nasty parents. Other people are lucky. If you can, it’s pretty great. Multi generation homes are common most places outside the US.
- Comment on Why can't people make ai's by making a neuron sim and then scaling it up with a supercomputer to the point where it has a humans number of neurons and then raise it like a human? 6 days ago:
We didn’t know which things mechanisms in a nuron are important, and we don’t have anywhere near the computing power to model all of them. We have guesses as to what’s important, and that’s what a lot of modern AI is built on. But because computers have different strengths and weaknesses, we can’t simulate a whole human brain yet.

Do you use a VPN? I’ve found that Google has been making me do these much more now that I’m using a VPN.

What’s up with the narrator? He’s got like 20 big channels he reads for. Are the channels connected and run by the same group, or does he host for a bunch of independent channels?

Less phallic than I expected.
- Comment on Anon misses a potential match 2 weeks ago:
Plus, tinder is incentived to not make good matches, since that would lose them customers if they’re in a stable relationship now.

Too eepy

By driving at 10mph, you could drive around the entire moon in one day, and it’d still be the same time of day.

- Comment on NASA 3 weeks ago:
Which only allows 1080p streams. That means the highest pixel quality streams of SpaceX launches are from third parties like everyday astronaut.

!superbowl@midwest.social would love this! Looks like it’s already posted!
- Comment on How is the hydrogen made? 3 weeks ago:
Extra solar and wind capacity ideally, but again, I don’t trust BP with that.
- Comment on How is the hydrogen made? 3 weeks ago:
Looks like it’s 27 to 30x over 100 years.
- Comment on How is the hydrogen made? 3 weeks ago:
Great to grab a metric energy density, okay volumetric energy density, great availability, terrible charging efficiency, and complicated handling and storing mechanisms. Lots of tradeoffs.
- Comment on What's inside the London Tower Bridge? 3 weeks ago:
The tower is London is straight up a castle, the tower bridge is newer and is about 5 min walk away.
- Comment on How is the hydrogen made? 3 weeks ago:
Yup! It has really good gravimetric energy density, but really bad charging efficiency.
- Comment on How is the hydrogen made? 3 weeks ago:
It does result in higher methane emissions, which have a ln ~30x larger greenhouse effect than CO2.

- Comment on How is the hydrogen made? 3 weeks ago:
It could make sense for planes, where batteries are just too heavy. But you’d need to weigh it against things like synthetic electrically produced kerosene or biodiesel.
- Comment on How is the hydrogen made? 3 weeks ago:
Plus the big one is that my taking the hydrogen off of the methane, you’re left with carbon. And that carbon is usually reacted with oxygen to make carbon dioxide during the refining process. So for every two liters of hydrogen you make, you’d make a liter of CO2.
- Comment on How is the hydrogen made? 3 weeks ago:
So it’s more like a really bad battery
- Comment on How is the hydrogen made? 3 weeks ago:
You can make hydrogen greenly with electricity and electrolysis. But I doubt BP is doing that.
- Comment on What's inside the London Tower Bridge? 3 weeks ago:
For a long time, I thought the crown Jewels were there. But it turns out the Tower of London and London Tower bridge are two different things!
- Comment on we are but a gravy train in outer space 3 weeks ago:
If I take a relativistic frame of reference. If I take an ‘absolute’ non moving frame of reference, gravity shows up as a force. I use the later for calculating loads and statics, even though it’s technically not correct. And in that case gravity shows up as a force.
