Not consuming implying you’re wrong but I’d really like to see that list.

I rather think he’s trying to tank the Tesla stock price lately. No idea why though.

A tortoise? What’s that?

The guy was from Austria and screamed like a mad man.

How is being listed there pretending it’s not a thing?

You should check the provenience of your alternatives. Except maybe Vivaldi these aren’t really better.

The difference between linear tv (that your dad watched) and the internet is that there is no alternative to the latter.

That person and the author of the article obviously suck at reading/understanding graphs. Teen pregnancies did not have a high enough percentage (and it’s good that it went down).

Also, how do you miss the drop in the age range 20 - 24 and the rise in the age ranges above 30. It’s even indicated in the title to “40 is the new 20”.

This is indicative of a bad economy. I bet if you add a graph showing the rise in rent, you will see an inverse correlation.

Also

‘He took to Twitter and tweeted a tweet.’

Should now be

‘He took to Xitter and xat a xit.’

The X being pronounced ‘sh’ every time.

They code-switch between English and Hindi. If you don’t know Hindi, you won’t understand it. Are all posts like this? Of course not.

You’re so close. Let me give you another hint: What do you think every other regional sub looks like? (I speak multiple languages, so I’ve been to multiple regionals - including in Languages I don’t really speak)

Also, yes it is a bit racist to assume that Indians are only able to converse in an Hindi/English mix and unable to converse in proper English. On top of that it is a bit stupid to assume all of India speaks Hindi - e.g. most of Bengalurians speak Kannada.

But there aren’t as many English-speakers as in America. I didn’t say all, I say most (this will be a recurring theme).

You’re correct. It’s a recurring theme. You have been made aware by multiple people now that you over-inflate the percentage of USAmericans among the users of English-speaking forums and that you have been incredibly ignorant about it.

I think none will dispute that US located users are in the majority - the majority is however not as big as you make it out to be. (and your reasoning is - for lack of a better term - atrocious)

I admire your determination to bend your perception of facts to fit your narrative.

• Russia, Kanada, Australia, South America? Apparently they ceased to exist.
• Africa? They still live in mud and abject poverty. There is no electricity nor Internet.
• China? They’re 100% locked in. (No bots no nothing.)
• Indians can’t write proper English (a bit rich coming from an USAmerican)

Sorry, did you mean to reply to another comment? There is no reflection whatsoever to the comment you are replying to.

Edit: As this comment has whooshed at least 6 people:

it is very very very obvious that the article tries to manufacture outrage over one prediction model that is not publicised but avalable to the agency.

I pointed out that there is one other, equally good model unrestricted and there are about 20 other models that are equally not listed as restricted. Again, the restriction refers to publicising, not to government usage.

I hope this helps the understanding of crapwittyname@lemm.ee and his friends as I don’t think it makes sense to break this down simpler.

FYI

According to Wikipedia the percentage of English speakers located in the US is lower that 20%. Does this mean that only 1 in 5 users is from the US?

Population of the US: 334.914.895, Population of Europe: 745.173.774. 334.914.895/745.173.774 = 0,449%

English Speakers in the US: 297.400.000. English Speakers in Europe: 260.000.000. So you have about 37,4M more English speakers in the US than in Europe.

Sorry, are you trying to prove beyond a doubt that you are dishonest and statistics-illiterate?

which is why I said:

It is entirely rational to assume that an English-speaking person on the Internet is from the US, given no other information.

No, you wrote:

**The US has more allocated IPv4 addresses and more users per allocated IPv4 address than any other country, by wide margins **- and IPv6 adoption is not that widespread yet. It is entirely rational to assume that an English-speaking person on the Internet is from the US, given no other information.

So your assumption is based on a gross misinterpretation of the statistics you presented. Your incorrect interpretation of the graphs would put US participation at about 99,99%, which is obviously ridiculous.

Also according to Wikipedia the percentage of English speakers located in the US is lower that 20%. Does this mean that only 1 in 5 users is from the US?

The point of using the IP address statistics is to show that the vast majority of websites on the Internet were created in the US for the US market, and that is still true today.

That’s not at all what these graphs show though.

Also, while I agree that most websites might be US targeted towards the US calling that ‘vast’ is bit of a stretch.

… and realistically not many people outside the US had any interest in the internet in 1983.

I gather you’ve not been around then. Almost none had any interest in “the internet” until the mid 90s - this includes the US. Partly because what you refer to as “the internet” was called WWW back then and started only 1989. People had been very anal about this until about 2005 - I guess you haven’t been around then either.

Sorry, what a shit, rage bait article is this?

… it was deemed in a National Hurricane Center (NHC) report [PDF] to be one of the two “best performers,” the other being a model called IVCN (Intensity Variable Consensus).

OK, what about IVCN? Is this available? We can assume it is as is not mentioned any more in the article. Also skimming the report it’s not like the other reports are wildly inaccurate/unusable.

Asked whether the NOAA deal affected the release of information about Hurricane Helene, Buchanan said, “HCCA is one of many computer models that forecasters use at the National Hurricane Center. NHC forecasters use a variety of model guidance, observations, and expert knowledge to develop the best and most consistent forecast, along with watches, warnings and other hazard information for use by the emergency management community, the public, and other core partners and decision makers.”

So the outrage is hot air over nothing. Got it.

No, they highlight some problems with IP4: Bad distribution of IP4 ranges and bad usage of those ranges. So the graphs show the US has way too much IP actresses, some under used/unused and some overused. The blog post they are from is pretty clear about this.

These graphs do not give an indication of how many users per country there are. There are in fact statistics on that which expectedly show China and India on top. These however do not take into account that social media use way more popular in the U.S. for now.

The closest stat may be Reddit users by country which seems to indicate that about every 2nd user is from the US. (Not sure if Russian/Chinese bot accounts also count towards these though).

person I knew actually had self adjusting headlights, which somehow were damaged and would not adjust properly anymore. They drove around like that for years before retiring the vehicle.

Where was that? In Europe this should have been spotted during the mandatory inspection.
