Yeah, I am comparing linear distance to surface area, but if we call that 66 mile distance a diameter, were talking about roughly 3500 sq miles…which is a rounding error compared to the vastness of the south china sea.

The south china sea is longer than it is wide, but even at its narrowest width between Phillipines and Vietnam, it’s over 550 miles across. That’s just incomparable and to the distance between Florida and Cuba. Anything between Florida and Cuba is figuratively parked right in USA’s backyard.

I legit tried to find the exact location of this latest aerial encounter between China fighter pilot and allied forces aircraft and couldn’t find it…the info must either be classified or intentionally censored.

There’s only 66 nautical miles of international water between FL and Cuba.

The South China Sea is 1.3 million square nautical miles.

You are a few orders of magnitude off for a rational comparison.

I don’t think they suck at forecasting…I think they are probably exceptional at forecasting but willfully lie about project costs when submitting bids for projects in order to come under the competition and win the contract. There doesn’t seem to be any penalties for this, so why would they stop?

That’s what I assumed but didn’t know, so thanks for confirming. What do you think that line I quoted from the article is trying to imply then?

As a Michigan voter, does Trump’s vow to “end ‘madness’ of EV push” persuade you in some way?

Brandolini’s law, aka the “bullshit asymmetry principle” : the amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than that needed to produce it.

Unfortunately, with the advent of large language models like ChatGPT, the quantity of bullshit being produced is accelerating and is already outpacing the ability to refute it.

Trump is likely trying to persuade Michigan voters

Why would this persuade Michigan voters? Are Detroit auto-makers forbidden from transitioning to manufacturing electric vehicles?

This piqued my curiosity but I couldn’t find any video. I’m now wondering if this is even possible and how weird it might look/taste.

True. And yet Cloudflare has to maintain its own army of lawyers to defend the constant barrage of lawsuits against Cloudflare claiming that they are facilitating copyright infringement. The average salary for 'Associate Legal Counsel" at companies like Cloudflare is about US $303,400. (source is Cloudflare themselves: www.salary.com/…/associate-legal-counsel-salary )…and that’s just one of many. They are literally paying MILLIONS of US Dollars a year to defend against that. You think the admins for Lemmy.World have that kind of pocket change?

It depends on the jurisdiction. In the United States, we have the DMCA which has been weaponized by content creators and publishers, but we also have a “safe harbors” provision to the DMCA that is supposed to protect online service providers from being liable for copyright infringement based on the actions of their users - as long as they meet certain provisions and restrictions. And yet even with that in place, it does not stop content providers from suing service providers and forcing those service providers to incur the pain and expense of mounting a legal defense.

I am pretty sure that Lemmy.world admin team are European and that the instance is hosted somewhere in Europe, so they would have their own jurisdictional laws to follow.

TL/DR: even if a service provider is protected from the actions of their users, that still doesn’t stop them from being sued and having to mount a defense.
