Youtubers with 2 million followers are Z-list losers. They are not popular, successful, or worth anyone's time. If you're impressed by that, then brother are you easily impressed.

"This is what's known as confirmation bias. For those unfamiliar with the concept, it's when you start with a conclusion and then go looking for evidence to support it, generally ignoring evidence that may contradict it. It is the opposite of good science."
Go ahead and talk about it. Just don't have idiotic, misleading, exaggerating headlines that try to make it sound like there is anything to get interested in yet. "Could be the future of batteries!" is a headline that implies this tech has a chance of going anywhere - when at this point it really doesn't.
A…
Meh.
One word...
Not saying they don't exist. I'm just saying they are rare for a good reason. And you'll notice even that building is not getting progressively larger the higher it goes. It's just a regular skyscraper with a weird lower fifth.
...so why are they doing them? :) I would less critical if the article didn't plainly state that the designer consulted with an engineering firm. When you tell people that you designed something in partnership with an engineering firm, you are basically saying that your design is approved by engineers. Well -…
I wish I had a nickle for every time an article about batteries and green energy uses the word "could" or "might". Too bad that's all they ever actually accomplish. If 0.1% of the stuff that "could" happen over the past 30 years of supposed breakthroughs in battery technology had actually happened then we'd be…
And another thing...
No - the Greenies all believe that plants only grow the way and shape they want.
And that building in the background? It has a NARROW base and gets larger as it goes upwards. That's some pretty lousy design. Look - geniuses - there is a reason why most buildings either go up straight, or get SMALLER as they get…
And is this a museum honoring the Slenderman?
Indeed. These kinds of drawings and 'plant architecture' bologna are clearly drawn by people who have no clue about what it takes to actually grow and maintain plant life. The dirt alone necessary to allow a decent root system for a tree is going to require massive engineering support in a highrise. Not to mention…
These artist concept "green cities" are always physically impossible, grotesquely ugly piles of crap. That isn't beautiful. It's about the dumbest looking, most idiotic Lorien fantasy imaginable. Come on you Green architects. You can do better than this. Just because you are envisioning a green city doesn't mean…
Lots of you (above) are - quite frankly - statistical idiots. I do stats for a living, so I know a thing or two about how my profession is being abused by the lazy, the provocative, and the deliberately deceptive. This is one of those times.
You could just as easily make a charts with "Number of lives saved by former…
Yawn. I have yet to see anything that corrects my assessment that one out of his depth amatuer is being interviewed by others.
Cars were a good idea. Musk's tubes are implausible, expensive think pieces that address no actual need in a way that is practical or affordable. Not all ideas are good. Not everyone is The Wright Brothers. I think you're in love with the IDEA and aren't applying logic, reason, simple economics, and other…
Graphic full of misleading numbers provides sensationalist headline to freak out gullible idiots.
You can stop at "alternatives that people are very serious about building in California". The idiocy and cost of Moonbeam's Lala-land boondoggle may be what is causing Musk to put his own particular spin on the insanity. But neither is a realistic approach to what is inherently a simple problem. They are both…
How appropriate that the least competent President in American history should be debriefed after his SOtU address by a bunch of Z-list internet losers.
