Not to be a downer but a far simpler explanation is that it just had an unusual manner of outgassing possibly due to the volatiles being below the surface and taking longer to heat.
With a Touring Test If you have a piece of software that can pass a touring test what have you really created and what does it say about the nature of intelligence ?
With this It would seem that it just validates (not a small thing) the knowledge of how an animal brain is put together, and only in very limited ways at that.
Overall I suspect this project will tell us much more about what we don't know about how brains are put together than what we do know about how thought works.
Toss in the fact that the original story closely ties into an agenda and this should be no surprise at all.
Rank it up there with all the things that make the cover of popular science / mechanics that will "revolutionize the world" and are promptly never heard from again
I prefer to think of the Left's misuse of the terms Fascist to describe Libertarians Racist to describe Republicans that actually were active in the Civil Rights Movement (Jeff Sessions comes to mind) Hate Speech to describe anything they disagree with Cronyism while Obama turned the DOJ into a shakedown artist and slush fund. Interfering in elections, a crime that has no statute (rather amazing that must of slipped past)
The whole story assumes that Facebook actually bothered with anything more than being certain the payment processed.
As far as I can tell they don't give a crap about the message of people who are paying them. The only time they do seem to care is when people are making money using their service and they can take it off the table.
Let me give you an admittedly over the top set of hypothetical here
Do we need particular regulations against people dispensing sarin ?
You see where that's going in general we have laws against killing people or destroying other peoeple's property. You get ridiculous regulations when you have the government getting too involved, In this case Ethanol is a good example. Instead of just having a mandate for emissions, we require a particular fuel additive to do the job. It's arguably is nothing but a strange farm support program that does more damage to the environment than any good.
Strawman augment is strawman. But thanks for trusting my words and intentionally missing the point.
Oh I got the point, shame you didn't actually look at the data before you posted. It's a very significant drop. There is no "If there is an ongoing impact".
Erm. The report you cite itself says: "Globally, it's estimated that outdoor air pollution resulted in 4.2 million deaths in 2016; this represents an increase from 3.4 million in 1990."
Everybody dies, and there's a lot more people now. It's the death rate that matters.
That's not the intent, IMO. Removing the like button will allow them to promote the tweets they want and hide their gaming of the system, because nobody will know if the tweet is actually popular.
Seems you're the one that's doing a poor job interpreting the data. Either you maliciously used a bad comparison or you couldn't find a better one.. Either way, it doesn't speak too highly of your own "high intelligence" if you immediately start insulting anyone that questions your methods.
Just how much precision did you think was possible in that data ? As to high intelligence I referred to the community not my own it's curious took this as an attack on yourself. Is that something that happens often ?

Homophones, Homographs, Homonyms all a pain in the ass.

The point is not about the demeaning of one group or another it's about accuracy in the label.
Example
Calling Ben Shapiro a NAZI https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
Just how a Libertarian leaning conservative qualifies as a NAZI is rather odd.
NPC however is rather descriptive, it's on the order of Canadians are lousy drivers. Not true for every single Canadian, but the odds favor it.
Yeah he is amazing, that incompetent blow hard persona he projects is just incredible.
He's a modern day Zorro
I prefer to think of the Left's misuse of the terms
Fascist to describe Libertarians
Racist to describe Republicans that actually were active in the Civil Rights Movement (Jeff Sessions comes to mind)
Hate Speech to describe anything they disagree with
Cronyism while Obama turned the DOJ into a shakedown artist and slush fund.
Interfering in elections, a crime that has no statute (rather amazing that must of slipped past)
NPC by comparison is rather kind.
Elisha Otis has sent assassins to your location.
Oops never mind didn't see the AC you were replying to.
Did you mean to reply to another post ? One that actually linked to an article and a specific incident maybe ?

Steyer has done uniquely well with it, but if you think he is about clean energy or this proposal is think again

It will force the early shutdown of APS's nuclear power plant and likely boost greenhouse gas emissions.

I think most would agree that we are not just numbers in your fucking game.
Yeah you're more likely a number in the anger management guy's game.

Yes, size does matter.
That's what she said.
Seeing as deaths from air pollution have been falling for the last 30 years
It is quite irrelevant if something is falling. What is relevant is if there is an ongoing impact and at what rate it is falling.
I really need that Joker, "Not sure if serious" meme for this board. What would you say if the rate was increasing ?
Please go ahead, as usual I am prepared for this to devolve into rabbit season vs duck season.

And even China's falling, it seems this is another case of an activist looking for a cause.
Bringing up Tobacco seems rather odd as well especially since there now seems to be a war on vaping heating up.
It's really a twist of logic to see how the governments that created and nurtured the monopolies would do any better than the actual monopolies.
Would you want the people in your home owners association deciding how your internet works ?
where doublespeak is the norm.
Thanks to all you ass hats that voted for Trump.
The usual people still think their shit doesn't stink and they are the ones to save the world. Lots of other people fall for it.
As to high intelligence I referred to the community not my own
I see...
That's nice

Bingo, it removes one more aspect of user control
