Why, that would be completely besides the point. A serious bet would be to bet that 50% of insects still remain 10 years from now worldwide as compared to some baseline in the last century.
There's nothing theoretical about the huge decline in insect numbers, Germany has a 75% decline, France now has a 50% decline in birds likely due to the decline in insects.
If you're not scared it's because you don't know enough about the level of destruction going on.
Why, so you can bury your head in the sand and sing la la la la la whilst we exterminate the planet? Sure there will be some slow down eventually but so far in Europe at least half the insects are dead already and we are heading for a disaster the likes of which we've never seen before if we don't change our rape and pollute the planet ways.
'salt is good for you' as an example. Sure you need a certain amount of salt to survive and nature provides that naturally in the food we eat, what we don't need is copious amounts of salt to be added to food and there are plenty of idiot youtubers that don't understand that a small amount is healthy and too much is not healthy and they appear to be encouraging people to eat salt with reckless abandon and are railing against the campaigns to eat less salt and add less salt to foods. These idiots piss me off and I'd happily join a mailing list and go vote down all of their videos.
Often you don't need to watch more than a few seconds of a video to know that it is 100% trash and click-bait and or doesn't have anything useful or particularly entertaining to say. Often the vote-count is a good indicator of that and can act as a quick confirmation that the video isn't worth watching any further.
I don't think any of the forkers can realistically compete at that level because browsers are too gargantuan in complexity. To get a new browser takes a behemoth like google to advertise the browser lots or leverage other popular things like OS or search. Facebook could probably do it but I wouldn't touch a browser made by them with a barge pole.
You act like it doesn't already have a massive source of revenue. It could ditch the CEO and directors, they appear to be pretty useless condescending fools and are paid far too much for losing market share.
That's called moving the goalposts (fallacy), you said nobody is forking it, they showed there is a dozen or so forks.
Mozilla doesn't need ads, it needs to figure out what the users want and give them that. I'm having to use a fork of Firefox because bit by bit it removed it's best feature - customisability and at the same time pulled dirty moves like ignore privacy concerns and try to shove advertising and unwanted 3rd party add-ons in.
Sure if by 'infrastructure costs' you mean shareholder profit, lobbying, marketing, call centres, taxes etc. Here in the UK the grid part of electricity seems to be 10% of the ticket price per kWh.
Can they read all road signs? What is their recognition rate - as in how often do they miss road signs.
And when are autonomous cars tested? There obviously should be tests but I've never heard of one being taken.
I'd love to see an autonomous vehicle try and pass UK driving license tests, both the practical and the theory and hazard perception tests. I'm sure they'd fail miserably.
That reminds me of the abhorrent sharpness setting most TVs even including 4k TVs have.
Sharpness is not a measurement of quality, quality is a measurement of quality or more specifically accurate reproduction - how close does the stream match a high quality version such as a blu-ray 4k copy etc.
If you introduce measuring sharpness as a way of measuring quality then the end result is cheating that will artificially make all streams sharper at the expense of picture quality.
The article is utter bollocks, popular science can fuck off, there are a zillion ways to make solar panels and wind turbines don't necessarily require neodymium AKA it's complete bunk.
You give no reason why conscientious meat eaters shouldn't try to create vegetable based meat alternatives. I eat meat and of course enjoy it, I also eat a couple of 'fake-meat' products that taste good but still aren't as tasty as the meat versions, as a meat eater I'd like them to create fake-meats that taste as good as the real thing, are more humane and are better for the environment.
The clock is ticking for the human race and we're not doing much to slow it down, our species won't last long at this rate.
It's nuts already, 28 ZetaBytes is 27 trillion TeraBytes, that's several terabytes per person on the planet including the ones struggling to feed themselves.
Who is storing a ton of terabytes per person? I find it very difficult to believe there's a valid and strong business case for doing so. So I expect it's mostly governments snooping on people and keeping far more info than necessary, especially G20 countries.
And that's completely besides the point, the point is that loot boxes are deliberately made to hook in to the same parts of the brain that cause gambling addiction. IE loot boxes are made to be addictive. And games with loot boxes are often made grindy deliberately to encourage you to buy loot boxes to avoid the grind. Or to put it another way, they have to make the gameplay less enjoyable so that you'll pay to skip it.

So, you've never heard of this thing called 'wind' then. FML. Just make shit up, why not.
Emotion is the antithesis of rationality.
No it's not at all, it's rational to feel fear in dangerous situations, that emotion is to stop yourself from getting killed.
If you're not scared it's because you don't know enough about the level of destruction going on.
Fear is a valid human emotion when your life or the life of your family is at risk. It is at risk.

No, bots are bots, people are people and cars are cars, there seems to be a problem with your basic categorising there.
Bots are people like cabbages are cars.
Yes, and chrome wasn't about back then.

Won't always work, some sites use funny flow chart logic to determine the browser and ignore the user agent.
That China icon for stories is getting old, can I suggest a new one that looks something like this:

Because a sharpened image over-writes some parts of the image with false information, see a good example here:

So, get it right, sharpness != quality.
Here is an example of how nasty the sharpness setting can make things: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

"The good news for Google is that Baidu etc. will never be popular in the west for similar reasons. No one would trust them."
Too right and that's why we never buy goods made in China.
