I don't mind paying for YouTube Premium.
  • No. That's an increase of 129% to 229% of the original price.

    You are right that you always use the original price as the base, but if it were still $7 that would be a 0% increase, not 100% as by your math.

  • Elon Musk’s popularity plummets to 6% among Democrats, poll finds
  • SpaceX has one viable product

    Two. I can't even figure out whether you're ignoring Starlink or their space launch business. But yeah, the Elonville on Mars obsession makes about as much sense as the Cybertruck.

  • The rise of solar power and China's staggering EV growth may have pushed global emissions into decline
  • You really should read the article. The hypothesis is that global emissions peaked last year and so the cumulative emissions graph that you're focusing on would start to curve downward this year or maybe next. We'll "see by the end of the year".

    Again, in the article, things are changing wildly fast and you won't see that yet in a lagging indicator like cumulative CO₂.

  • Nate Silver predicts Trump has 64% chance of winning the electoral college in latest forecast
  • Probability is useful because it can make predictions that can be tested against reality.

    Yes. But you'd have to run the test repeatedly and see if the outcome, i.e. Clinton winning, happens as often as the model predicts.

    But we only get to run an election once. And there is no guarantee that the most likely outcome will happen on the first try.

  • Solar will get too cheap to connect to the power grid.
  • Really, we should create incentives for homes to be built with high thermal mass. Even without any sort of fancy direct heating or cooling of a thermal mass, it will store significant heat.

    Welcome to traditional housing in Italy and probably elsewhere in the Mediterranean region. Thick stone walls even out the temperature swings through the day. Throw open the windows when the temperature is comfortable and close up when it gets too hot or cold depending on the season. This gets you quite far without any air-conditioning or heating.

  • Starlink is refusing to comply with Brazil's X ban (Update: Starlink will comply)
  • That's not exactly what happened. Starlink was already disabled in Crimea when the attack was launched and Musk refused to enable it specifically for the attack. Then the initial reports got a bit tangled up.

    But yes, none of this should be up to Musk.
