Japanese culture is about "duty". Duty to family, duty to workplace, duty to society. It's the key aspect of culture.
It occupies the same cultural primacy slot that is occupied by "individual responsibility" in Western cultures. It's why in Japan, bosses often killed themselves when they had to fire workers. Because bosses had the same duty to those workers as workers had to the company, and by firing them, they failed at the primary cultural tenet. It is the deepest failure one can have. It's one from which you don't come back from. The loss of face due to this is effectively permanent, and in East Asian cultures, face is everything. Even real life performance is less valuable than face.
Same road goes the other way. To quit is a severe cultural infraction, because workers carry the same responsibility of "duty", and to quit the company is to be in dereliction of said duty. It's a loss of face that is permanently on your record, one you don't come back from. Hence the stressfulness of situation where you have to tell your boss you're quitting.
This is slowly changing in Japan, mainly driven by the catastrophic birth rate, which means that capable workers are no longer utterly crippled by quitting their first "real job after the university" for the rest of their career. But just because you remain employable, unlike before, doesn't mean that it's any more culturally acceptable of a situation.
You know, you're getting boring. We get it, you have strong faith in your absurd beliefs.
But you have to spice it up eventually. Just repeating "kneel and pray to allah until your forehead caves in" ad nauseam can't entertain people forever. It's funny for a while, but eventually, they'll get tired and drone strike you. You have to do something to spice it up, like invent another lie.
I know right? Just like that lady was absolutely certain that she has facts on her side, so do you. I wonder if you also have her creepy laugh and dishonest smile?
>Dmitry Olegovich Rogozin, the head of Russia's state space corporation, Roscosmos, said the issue was an air leak due to a tiny fracture on the Russian manned Soyuz MS-09 spacecraft, which docked at the International Space Station in early June.
>"A micro-fracture was found. Most likely this is external damage. Designers believe this is the result of a micro-meteorite," Rogozin told reporters Thursday, according to state-run Russian news agency TASS. "The lives and the health of the crew members are not threatened and the spacecraft will most likely be preserved as a result of using a repair tool kit for localizing this leak."
So they have specialized kit for this kind of repair work.
2mm is below the size being tracked right now afaik, and crack would be larger than object that hit in most cases, so some kind of a small piece of space debris sounds like a plausible hypothesis.
I know, and that lady was "you don't have evidence for evolution and that's a fact". Just like you. Non stop, ad nauseam. Fanatical, like you. Stupid, like you.
Pollution is low even in city centres, and does not meet the criteria of the study, because it's highly intermittent. Study references continued exposure, which is relevant to power plant and factory style output, not automotive output on days with no wind.
Public transit in fact partially addresses these issues, and there's no need for public transit to be limited to city centre. My native city of Tampere was classified a "200.000 people village" by EU when we joined it because it had too low population density to be considered a city, because criteria at the time where done with Central European city model in mind. We have some of the best and cheapest public transport available in the world in spite of this, which covers pretty much all small townships within 40-60km of the city or so.
It's one of the solutions to the problem of air pollution.
As for your last point, that's why I noted in the last sentence that this is indeed The Guardian. The activist publication that is well established in its willingness to bend truth as far as it can in pursuit of a specific agenda. Questionable statements like one you took issue with are a norm for The Guardian.
1. Each generation represents a large relative leap to the last one (7 nm is literally 50% shrink of a 14nm, and 42% shrink of 12nm). 2. Theoretical limit of approximately 3nm is getting closer (quantum tunneling).
Add these two to all the traditional problems you get when you shrink the transistors, like issues with power and leakage, and you have an industry which is very close to hitting a wall of theorethical physics in this particular implementation.
Calling bullshit. Around 3nm is a hard limit with current technology. At that point, quantum tunneling comes into full effect, and transistors cannot function.
IQ tests in this case were administered by chinese. Pretty sure they aren't caucasian but han.
Notably most people tend to forget that as far as evolutionary pressures go, IQ appears to not only have been of a limited value for overwhelming amount of human history, but a net negative in terms of its value beyond certain minimum. Is ability to grasp complex abstract patterns beneficial or detrimental to a serf who's very life is at risk should he appear to be a threat to his local leadership?
Add to this the fact that it's already widely documented that IQ is negatively associated with breeding performance in females in homo sapiens, and you have a credible argument that IQ is in fact a net negative evolutoinary selection mechanism in humans once certain minumum IQ is reached. Which would confirm the "whites should die off and be replaced by brown and black people" argument often pushed in the more extreme end of the equity circles.
Evolution tends to care very little about our morals and ethics. It pursues only one goal, self improvement to better fit the environment, which itself changes over time as everything in it evolves. Outcome is everything, regardless of means. That's why there are so many parasitic species on the planet, among other horrifying things that just go against any sense of modern human morality and ethics codes.
Your hypothesis runs against your conclusions. City centre air is overwhelmingly much worse across the West compared to rural areas. Voting among the red/blue lines is that cities vote blue and rural areas vote red.
Most of the kind of pollution studied here (particulates) no longer comes out of the power plants in Western world, and hasn't been coming from power plants across Europe and US for something around two decades.
Primary sources of it around here is automotive. Specifically combination of exhaust on mainly older diesel vehicles combined with street dust being pulled out of road surface by act of driving over it over and over again. Notably, not even Scandinavia is safe from this, in that we get our worst particulate pollution in city centres during winter and early spring, when everyone is still driving on spiked tyres, and there's no snow/ice for those to dig into. So they dig into the asphalt, and pull a lot of particulates in the air, crashing air quality rapidly.
Overall, in Europe and North America, this is mostly about city centres on days when it isn't windy.
China is a completely different story. They actually have overwhelmingly large amount of old, utterly unfiltered power plants that dump a large amount of particulates into the atmosphere as a result of their burning cycle. So they have air pollution problem across the industrial regions well outside the major cities. This problem is continous (power keeps being generated 24/7) which is why they can conduct these kinds of studies.
Notably this can in fact be linked to intelligence in long term, provided the testing methodology in education scales directly with IQ, and it does in mathematics. So you have this part backwards - it's not that they're trying to measure "increase in IQ". They're trying to measure population success in tests that tend to significantly favour IQ.
And while IQ cannot be increased by any means to a significant degree, it can be decreased by everything from lowering oxygen content/increasing CO2 content in the room where test is being concluded all the way to to brain damage. In this case, the claim of "intelligence impact" is therefore valid. The Guardian in its usual activist way conflates a lot of things in the article, which leads to the conclusion you drew from it.
This is so fun to watch. You're literally like a low end dogmatic Christian fundamentalist type, who's just so stuck on his dogma, he can't even think. So he just defaults to repeating his chants.
You really should look into organised religion and cults. They always look for people as dumb and as fanatical as you.
Which part of my post are you challenging? The fact that LEDs need more electronics? The fact that adding more points of failure results in more failures?
Can't tell from all the preaching and "it works well for me". Which sounds a lot like Jehova's Witness guy knocking at your door.
Hold on now. "New ones" and "I've had them well past their payback period". Where is the electricity so insanely expensive for those two to not be mutually exclusive?
I do enjoy you talking about your beliefs. It's like watching someone just keep walking into a wall, then point at it and scream "you don't exist", and then walk into it again.
No, they should sell those because they already lost all markets but luxury market outside the West to BYD.
If at any point the regulatory limits on BYD get lowered, it's likely that it will enter mid end markets in the West. And if it does, Tesla is forever stuck in the "luxury cars" category.
Time is ticking, and the less promises are delivered, the more is the chance that BYD will do in the West what it did across Asia. Just quietly take the market over with no actual fanfare.
Truly, such a shame. It took you this long to notice I'm actively mocking you for being a compelte and utter idiot.
But hey, you have "the facts". How alternative are your facts, on the scale from "totally alternative" to "opinions of an idiot are the same thing as a fact"?
Yeah, I think they'll have to get rid of you after they see you do this. Even your manager didn't get it in your head that once you hit a wall on your trolling line, you should be going for a new direction.

Also, hilarious, like you.
You definitely remind me of that creationist lady being interviewed by Dawkins. She also confused "my belief" with "facts".
She was much more interesting than you though.
And now we're back to the desperate, hopeless nitpicking spin. You're just a well of hilarious stupidity that keeps on giving.
I love how you think your inane beliefs are "facts". Just like a true fanatic. "Christ rose up on the third day after dying, and that's a fact!"
Please tell us more about your beliefs! They're so interesting, unoriginal and hilarious.

What's the relevance of this statement to this discussion?
That's because:
