    • At the charging stations, daily concentrations of dangerous air particles, known as PM2.5, ranged from 7.3 to 39.0 micrograms per cubic meter.
    • Urban sites without fast-charging stations had concentrations of PM2.5 ranging from only 3.6 to 12.4 micrograms per cubic meter.
    • The tiny particles likely come from particle resuspension around Direct Current Fast Charging power cabinets. Cooling fans designed to prevent the electronics from overheating can also stir up dust and particles from internal surfaces.

    a) that doesn't really sound like the fault of EVs or the charging stations themselves. Any sort of very moderate air current would cause the same problem.

    b) that sounds pretty easy to fix with some filters simple pleated filters, and that would leave the surrounding environment cleaner than they used to be.

    Excactly. The stations themselves don't create particles but magnetic fields from the high voltage DC lines and cooling fans just pick them up from the ground and back to air. It's quite misleading to claim this is “Fine particulate matter emissions from electric vehicle fast charging stations” as the stations just redistribute existing emissions.

    Obviously this is not a good thing, but the underlying cause is something else than these stations, I'd bet considerable amount of it comes from combustion engines. And as you said, simple filters should fix the problem and clean up the pollution from environment as well.

    Also they're likely in more densely populated areas which already have lower air quality.

    Urban backgrounds n=4 and gas stations n=8

    are you fucking kidding me

    Why higher particulate matter was found in the air at EV-charging stations?

    Because your sample sizes are shit, which means your methodology is probably also shit and the report carries less weight than a shampoo advert statistics

    Now do PM and VOC levels at petrol stations.

    Then PM and VoC levels on roads entirely occupied by combustion vehicles, and entirely occupied by electric vehicles.

  • Also they're likely in more densely populated areas which already have lower air quality.

    This seems accounted for since the comparative samples are from "similarly urban areas"

  • Now do PM and VOC levels at petrol stations.

    Then PM and VoC levels on roads entirely occupied by combustion vehicles, and entirely occupied by electric vehicles.

    It's like this is perfectly crafted to demonstrate a spurious correlation.

  • Now do PM and VOC levels at petrol stations.

    I get what you're saying but I'm not seeing this as "electric cars suck" but more as "we found another place where we can improve"

    This seems to me an issue that can be fixed with a few air filters which would require very infrequent replacements

    My bottom-of-the-rabbit-hole best guess. Create premature science data media for campaigns for lawmakers to push for more greenspaces in urban areas.

    Look at the map this is just higher near larger population, Correlation vs. Causation. This smells like bull shit.

    A research participant, Yifang Zhu, is tied to a thing called Mobility Justice Frameworks. It's pushing for greenspaces in urban areas, including making existing infrastructures look bad for its cause(s).

    The research team has more A.I. tools than proper researching. It's odd.

    Jesus they will release any study to try and smear electric. It's the same argument as cigs vs vapes. Yes they're both bad and not the best solution, but one is obviously better than the other. Plus how are they separating contamination of the charging stations from any other area where normal ass cars operate. There's just as much of a chance if not more that those particles are from the gas vehicles driving around, and not something specific to the chargers.

    They're not separating data throughly. Researcher Yifang Zhu, over many publishings, mainly gathers and publishes raw findings. Such as... (summarizing) "Children are at risk due to immature respiratory systems and faster breathing rates... by traveling in diesel powered school buses in my South Texas study."

    Do you not see the summary text in your front end, or did you just not read it? This is what it looks like on the default web front end on my instance:

    Dafuq.

    This is the craziest reaction to knowledge

    Knowing something new we didn't before means..... We know more now.

    Stop trying to politicize this.

    This just means there is room to improve, this is a good thing.

    Gemini is just a web replacement protocol. With basic things we remember from olden days Web, but with everything non-essential removed, for a client to be doable in a couple of days. I have my own Gemini viewer, LOL. This for me seems a completely different application from torrents. I was dreaming for a thing similar to torrent trackers for aggregating storage and computation and indexing and search, with search and aggregation and other services' responses being structured and standardized, and cryptographic identities, and some kind of market services to sell and buy storage and computation in unified and pooled, but transparent way (scripted by buyer\seller), similar to MMORPG markets, with the representation (what is a siloed service in modern web) being on the client native application, and those services allowing to build any kind of client-server huge system on them, that being global. But that's more of a global Facebook\Usenet\whatever, a killer of platforms. Their infrastructure is internal, while their representation is public on the Internet. I want to make infrastructure public on the Internet, and representation client-side, sharing it for many kinds of applications. Adding another layer to the OSI model, so to say, between transport and application layer. For this application: I think you could have some kind of Kademlia-based p2p with groups voluntarily joined (involving very huge groups) where nodes store replicas of partitions of group common data based on their pseudo-random identifiers and/or some kind of ring built from those identifiers, to balance storage and resilience. If a group has a creator, then you can have replication factor propagated signed by them, and membership too signed by them. But if having a creator (even with cryptographically delegated decisions) and propagating changes by them is not ok, then maybe just using whole data hash, or it's bittorrent-like info tree hash, as namespace with peers freely joining it can do. Then it may be better to partition not by parts of the whole piece, but by info tree? I guess making it exactly bittorrent-like is not a good idea, rather some kind of block tree, like for a filesystem, and a separate piece of information to lookup which file is in which blocks. If we are doing directory structure. Then, with freely joining it, there's no need in any owners or replication factors, I guess just pseudorandom distribution of hashes will do, and each node storing first partitions closest to its hash. Now thinking about it, such a system would be not that different from bittorrent and can even be interoperable with it. There's the issue of updates, yes, hence I've started with groups having hierarchy of creators, who can make or accept those updates. Having that and the ability to gradually store one group's data to another group, it should be possible to do forks of a certain state. But that line of thought makes reusing bittorrent only possible for part of the system. The whole database is guaranteed to be more than a normal HDD (1 TB? I dunno). Absolutely guaranteed, no doubt at all. 1 TB (for example) would be someone's collection of favorite stuff, and not too rich one.

    Yeah, I was going to say that TV wasn't much of a news source to begin with. The real issue is that social media for news is probably worse - now everyone can be spoonfed the news they want.

    I'm not questioning whether or not the game is good, just wondering why Apple would want to limit their customer base so much.

    Indeed I did not, we’re at a stalemate because you and I do not believe what the other is saying! So we can’t move anywhere since it’s two walls. Buuuut Tim Apple got my back for once, just saw this now!: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/27197259 I’ll leave it at that, as thanks to that white paper I win! Yay internet points!

    In highrises with lots of stops and users, it uses some more advanced software to schedule the optimal stops, or distribute the load between multiple lifts. A similar concept exists for HDD controllers, where the read write arm must move to different positions to load data stored on different plates and sectors, and Repositioning the head is a slow and expensive process that cuts down the data transfer rate.
