Could be reverse causation. T2 diabetes is a major risk factor for COVID, so perhaps kids with undiagnosed T2 diabetes are more likely to have COVID bad enough to go to the doctor.

It may or may not be fraud but Tesla is still liable for their promises. If they said it would do X and it doesn’t, that’s a defective product and Tesla owes compensation.

What was promised was a robotaxi, not “keep your eyes on the road or FSD will disengage.” As it is, if you let FSD drive and don’t ever intervene, you will have frequent crashes.

The fact that the fed continues to pay interest on reserves is a huge and unprecedented scam that probably will only be generally recognized years from now.

For some reason these all seem to be closing down. I don't think there any of the CVS Minute Clinics left in California. They used to be in every third CVS or so.

A church raffle only happens once a year, and the time between buying the ticket and getting the reward is relatively long. That is not going to lead to an addiction. Having the TV blaring gambling commercials at you constantly and having

If the solar is remote and the batteries are near the load though you don’t need any more batteries in this situation, just more panels.

Makes sense given the current financials. The way you make money in social media is to get people pissed off and arguing with each other. Preventing someone from seeing things that make them mad is just leaving money on the table that the

After a few miles some people can get into a zone which is very enjoyable. Personally I failed several times to make the habit, but finally I got a heart rate monitor and realized that I was just trying to go way too fast. If you just go

And, if this, in fact, is the strategy, perhaps the government should decline to provide the subsidies and instead reallocate the money to younger hungrier companies. The subsidies are supposed to be to maintain long-term American competit

Man this is sad. My read is that they’re throwing in the towel and they’re going to milk their x86 duopoly and government subsidies through a steady, managed decline into irrelevance.

I believe NASA is targeting something like 99.5% reliability with Starliner. I agree that ability to accept risk has decreased, but my guess is that Starliner in reality has more like one nine of reliability. If you look at the first fligh

A person doesn’t physically exist. It’s just a bunch of cells interacting with each other. Likewise a cell doesn’t really exist, it’s just a bunch of proteins and lipids, but likewise those are just a bunch of atoms, which are just a bunc

You know, if someone were actually interested in doing a modern terrestrial navigation system, I think the DME band would be where to go. It's 962-1213Mhz, a whopping 250Mhz of super prime spectrum. Lots of DMEs are now being decommi

I never would have guessed Tesla would go from selling electric cars to Democrats to selling electric trucks to Republicans.

Part of the trick is that you can't rate a driver if you don't actually start the ride, and the driver controls when the ride starts. Sometimes the driver will just get a fare from another service and wait for you to cancel the r

Even with advances in AI, I don’t think the cameras are good enough. They are prone to getting blinded by the sun due to poor dynamic range, and some of them have no way to clean themselves, and aren’t redundant for certain directions. No

The CAFE standards have definitely caused problems. There is the Ford Maverick and the Hyundai Santa Fe now though that are more like what a Ranger or an S10 or a Tacoma used to be 20 years ago, except they're unibody.

It's a combination of getting taller, the hood getting longer, and the hood not sloping down. The Ridgeline has much more of a sloping hood, and the visibility is better. Most trucks have the flatter hood and big flat grille presumab

People say that treatment is the solution, but a fentanyl or meth addiction is like being involved in a terrible car crash. You give people back surgery and physical therapy and accommodations at work, but it's extremely expensive and

Not to take away from Kranz, who was an incredible man, but Armstrong was on another plane. On Apollo 11, he was 100,000 miles from Earth, with bad navigation and the (fly by wire) computer blaring errors into his ear, and had to manually f

See also the 2019 documentary “Apollo 11.” I saw it in the theater and was blown away. The story of the mission is told almost entirely with archival footage, much of which the filmmakers had to digitize as it was sitting in a NASA vault.

Exporting aluminum is basically exporting electricity, except aluminum is easy to ship, costs very little to store, and has an indefinite shelf life. For places with a lot of natural gas and no pipelines to export it, it’s often easier to

Chamberlain and Liftmaster do this. They’re both owned by Chamberlain group and I believe they are the two most popular brands. It’s caused tons of headache for people doing home automation stuff, especially since Chamberlain has cut off A

The biggest maker of garage door openers in the U.S. has done the same thing. For a button that goes on the wall to open the door, now it sends an encrypted code instead of just shorting two wires so that you have to use their button inste

I bet this falls into a gray area though. Maybe they’re not exactly trying to kill Firefox, they just don’t mind too much if it dies. Some programmer makes a mistake that affects Firefox and they don’t instantly revert the change because

This is the first time ever that we've had competition in the form of multiple companies that can deliver astronauts to orbit. As for NASA "in-housing" everything, that's always been a continuum. Mercury is probably the

Obviously they haven't been moving as fast as SpaceX, but they've delivered New Shepherd and the BE-4 engine, which has flown on the Vulcan and is supposed to fly on New Glenn. The BE-4 is comparable to the Raptor.

I don't think there's a real danger of a true monopoly. There are a number of other options: 1. Orion -- heavier than Dragon so you need a bigger rocket, but it should be able to dock with the space station, and it's already

Ultimately to maximize engagement you want to get people obsessed with something. Whether it’s sometimes violent racism, vaccine paranoia, national politics, whatever, you just need to get them obsessed, and then they will spend hours ever
