I guess you missed the point.

Yes, we can all certainly say that's too long.

But carry that thought farther as I explained.

If you are going to make someone legally responsible for something like this, you need to draw a line where it is.
So where do you draw that line?

You reasonable can not, and that is because the premise that Google should be responsible for such a thing is ridiculous.

This case is just a standard US justice system where they just 'Sue everyone' and see where the chips fall.

Yeah, how's it Google's fault that there were no signs? blocks? etc.

9 years is excessive? sure maybe.

But bridge collapse that evening while approaching it? Google's Fault? No...

So where do you draw that line where it's Google's Fault?

1 day? 1 month? 1 year?

Yeah, you can't reasonable put a timeline on something like that.

What happens if it was found out dude used an old paper map? Gonna sue that map company too?

Just because Google has the ability to update maps quicker than old paper, doesn't mean they are suddenly obligated to.

Sure you can, but that doesn't change the fact that your ignorant whether it's dangerous or not.

And these people are making 'observations' without knowledge of even the external mechanisms.

The majority of U.S. adults don't understand the technology well enough to make an informed decision on the matter.

Removed Kbin.social communities in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Thanks for checking that.

Yeah, it does appear to be select communities so far. I know a few were spammy and even I blocked them.

Hopefully kbin developer will get a chance to update the tools/site so us moderators can help out and keep the spam controlled so it doesn't spill into other instances.

Game wikis just aren't as popular anymore? in c/[email protected]

Was it a few years ago Fandom started buying up all these wiki websites?

Then they started with the ads and it all went to shit.

There were a bunch of games that had to move their shit off Fandom because it was a mess..

Now when you want an answer to a simple question, you have to fast track through a some rando's 5min youtube video to get the answer, where they could have put the answer in the title.

Satisfactory and Path of Exile are two games in recent memory that specifically moved their official wiki's away from Fandom,

People who work from home all the time ‘cut emissions by 54%’ against those in office in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

definitely a perk working from home, you decide temperature/sound/etc.

But I'm talking from an overall society energy use perspective.

I'm curious if the energy efficiency of having people in one building compares to the energy efficiency of them spread out.

It will greatly vary, as some are already in apartment buildings sharing that efficiency, some are in better eff rated homes, some are in worse eff rated homes.

Not sure this study can accurately claim 54% .. even if they said +-10%, it's still probably way out to lunch.

The main causes of remote workers’ reduced emissions were less office energy use, as well as fewer emissions from a daily commute.

I mean yeah, that makes sense,

But I wonder what the numbers are when it comes to everyone keeping their homes heated/cooled all day compared to communal heating/cooling of a building.

People working at home will increase their personal emissions to keep their home office heated/cooled, and I suspect you get more bang for your energy buck if they are all in one spot instead of spread out into multiple buildings.
