Those countries basically don't exist, or rather they just haven't caught up yet. From 1985 to 2016, there are 117 countries where obesity has increased by more that 10.0% (in absolute terms). In no country was the increase less than 1.9% (which was vietnam, where 1.9% in absolute terms is a 10x increase in the percent of people who are obese).
It sounds like you are refuting the parent's claim. But those two categories add up to ~110,000 deaths over a 6 year period, which seems like can be reasonably described as 10000s per year.
But, more importantly, you missed a bunch of relevant categories:
V89.2 (Person injured in unspecified motor-vehicle accident, traffic) 80,434
V87.7 (Person injured in collision between other specified motor vehicles (traffic)) 29,982
V09.2 (Pedestrian injured in traffic accident involving other and unspecified motor vehicles) 27,934
V03.1 (Pedestrian injured in collision with car, pick-up truck or van, traffic accident) 15,129
V43.5 (Car occupant injured in collision with car, pick-up truck or van, driver injured in traffic accident) 9,810
V29.9 (Motorcycle rider [any] injured in unspecified traffic accident) 8,410
V29.4 (Driver injured in collision with other and unspecified motor vehicles in traffic accident) 7,688
V47.5 (Car occupant injured in collision with fixed or stationary object, driver injured in traffic accident) 6,379
V49.9 (Car occupant [any] injured in unspecified traffic accident) 6,349
V23.4 (Motorcycle rider injured in collision with car, pick-up truck or van, driver injured in traffic accident) 5,851
V43.6 (Car occupant injured in collision with car, pick-up truck or van, passenger injured in traffic accident) 3,728
V27.4 (Motorcycle rider injured in collision with fixed or stationary object, driver injured in traffic accident) 3,504
> All of the Ivy League combined educate 65k undergrads. SUNY by comparison educates 5x that many
What a weird comparison. Yes, picking a group of universities that comprises 64 campuses is going to have more students than a group with a small fraction of that.
Yes, thanks for repeating the content from the article.
"In addition, we aim to not only trigger and control lightning, but also to harness its energy. Future efforts will focus on developing technologies for capturing and storing lightning energy for potential use (Figure 7)."
Maybe a bank of (extremely) huge capacitors that get charged up very quickly, and are then connected to a battery pack to charge it more slowly?
Keeping control of those charges seems like a huge challenge, as they literally contain the electrical energy of a lightning bolt. I guess for physically plausible capacitors you'd also need to step the voltage way down (by six or eight orders of magnitude!?) before it reaches the capacitors. Are there physically-plausible transformers or other devices that could do that?
Or something that somehow captures the lightning as (lots and lots of) mechanical or thermal energy and then gradually converts that back into electricity?
Yes, the author of the fucking article was the first to acknowledge that. There's a lengthy section on it. It starts with this relevant statement: "Tesla fans are holding on to the idea that this is not a real problem because it is mostly due to the Model Y changeover"... and continues "but that’s simply not true."
Which only further enhances the overall point, there is no reasonable auto marketplace data (actual or even projected) to support the current valuation.
The "Magnificent 7" should really only be 6 with Tesla being the odd one out.
Some of the reports on it from stock market "analysts" are almost comical and often rely on an appeal to tradition --- it's always been this way. Exactly the sort of nonsense cold hard "analysis" is supposed to cut through.
It's as if there is some significant pressure to emotionally support the big investors that are heavily bought in.
> In a classic Mother Jones cover story from 1977, reporter Mark Dowie spent six months investigating the deadly Ford Pintos and found that the company rushed to create and distribute the cars to beat the competition
I don't know how they can be clearer that that is talking about the development of the Ford Pinto, not the cybertruck.
