It's a little messy, and it's not clearly disambiguated what concept the artist is referring to. I agree "Hydrocarbon emissions" could reasonably mean what you get when you burn hydrocarbons, but that definition can also

That's a fair point, although I'm not sure I'd personally categorize it as "actively deceptive", I agree it could be a lot clearer about "Emissions", and empirically you're clearly right that is has s

I link some sources in a separate comment up-thread, but the short answer is two stroke engines run orders of magnitude "dirtier" than a four stroke in a car, primarily due to incomplete combustion of fuel. (Some of this is fundam

First off, kudos for putting in the effort to critically think through the implications of stats you see! Actually, the counterintuitive truth is that two-stroke engines produce ~300-500x more PM/hydrocarbon emissions from the same amo

I believe edraferi is just asking why you chose to use a 1-indexing system vs a 0-indexing system. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-based_numbering Interesting note: Dewey Decimals are zero indexing. And of course,

I've been fortunate enough to take a class with Sanjoy (The author) covering this book. It was an incredible experience, and he's one of the best mentors I've ever met. One of the things I found most interesting from the clas

To further the aside, there are many Olin buildings on college campuses, all due to Franklin W. Olin (the founder of the Olin corporation). There is also now an entirely standalone Olin College, which is the biggest shared name with this pr
