@lemmy.worldYeah, I am comparing linear distance to surface area, but if we call that 66 mile distance a diameter, were talking about roughly 3500 sq miles...which is a rounding error compared to the vastness of the south china sea.
The south china sea is longer than it is wide, but even at its narrowest width between Phillipines and Vietnam, it's over 550 miles across. That's just incomparable to the distance between Florida and Cuba. Anything between Florida and Cuba is figuratively parked right in USA's backyard.
I legit tried to find the exact location of this latest aerial encounter between China fighter pilot and allied forces aircraft (because you're right, that's relevant) but couldn't find it...the info must either be classified or intentionally censored.
There's only 66 nautical miles of international water between FL and Cuba.
The South China Sea is 1.3 million square nautical miles.
You are a few orders of magnitude off for a rational comparison.
I don't think they suck at forecasting...I think they are probably exceptional at forecasting but willfully lie about project costs when submitting bids for projects in order to come under the competition and win the contract. There doesn't seem to be any penalties for this, so why would they stop?
That's what I assumed but didn't know, so thanks for confirming. What do you think that line I quoted from the article is trying to imply then?
As a Michigan voter, does Trump's vow to "end 'madness' of EV push" persuade you in some way?
Brandolini's law, aka the "bullshit asymmetry principle" : the amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than that needed to produce it.
Unfortunately, with the advent of large language models like ChatGPT, the quantity of bullshit being produced is accelerating and is already outpacing the ability to refute it.
Trump is likely trying to persuade Michigan voters
Why would this persuade Michigan voters? Are Detroit auto-makers forbidden from manufacturing electric vehicles?
This piqued my curiosity but I couldn't find any video. I'm now wondering if this is even possible and how weird it might look/taste.
Have you contacted the operator of the bot?
The L4sBot user bio lists how to get in contact with the handler @L3s@lemmy.world .
True. And yet Cloudflare has to maintain its own army of lawyers to defend the constant barrage of lawsuits against Cloudflare claiming that they are facilitating copyright infringement. The average salary for 'Associate Legal Counsel" at companies like Cloudflare is about US $303,400. (source is Cloudflare themselves: https://www.salary.com/research/salary/employer/cloudflare-inc/associate-legal-counsel-salary )...and that's just one of many. They are literally paying MILLIONS of US Dollars a year to defend against that. You think the admins for Lemmy.World have that kind of pocket change?
Also, "caches" are temporary in nature and are different from permanent local copies (which is the model employed by lemmy). There is a technical difference, and even with that technical difference, Cloudflare still gets sued all the time for it.
