Maybe in another 1500 years, bowls will automatically resize to whatever we put in them and that part won't make sense anymore either.

If the price of a drug then is 50x in the US (as in this case), and the US buys it at the same rate as the rest of the world, then sales to the US would account for ~70% of the revenue. To attain the same revenue with a constant global pric

According to https://dot.ca.gov/programs/traffic-operations/census/traffi... , ~125,000 cars drive through that area per day (scroll to "JCT. RTE. 85", divide by 2). According to the report, the prev

I'm curious why people keep dying in Teslas on AP with their hands off the steering wheel then.

Who cares what the definition is? How people interpret it is what matters. And people interpret the word to imply that the software is better than it is. IIHS did a survey of 2000 people and a driver assistance system named "Autopilot&

Yeah, the naming's not great. And the marketing that gives the false impression that it's better than it is. And their claims that the only thing stopping the cars from being self driving is regulation (implying that they are good

You're saying this on an article about two different people who seemed to believe it and paid dearly for their misconception. We also know that the misconception is widely held. The term itself is misleading ( https://www.iih

Speak for yourself. In general, "Autopilot" is misleading. There's no need to just guess about how people interpret it, we know how they do. See https://www.iihs.org/news/detail/new-studies-highlight

There's no need to speculate. IIHS did a survey of 2000 people and a driver assistance system named "Autopilot" received the most responses that overestimated the system's capabilities. For example, "Nearly half — 4

The swine flu of 2009 had up to a 5% mortality rate in confirmed cases ( https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3809029/ ). SARS was 10% ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Severe_acute_re

Mortality of admitted patients of influenza in the U.S. is ~9% ( https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/index.html ). That's not that much different, and the U.S. has a lower mortality rate than much of the

If you limit to just Taiwan or Hong Kong where SARS was pretty bad, you get 0.6 and 4.4 respectively. At that point, it's less of a good comparison as you should apply the same focusing in for influenza. Also, that's looking at th

I think you don't understand how mortality rates are calculated. This also explains why you took two completely unrelated measure and compared them to each other in your original post. Deaths per 100,000 is based on total population. T

That's really cool thanks, didn't realize you could just look up the permits like that. I'm not sure what those values in the permits really mean, but they can't be the total costs. Hell, the kitchen remodel probably has

Big Bertha is roughly 25x the size of boring company's tunnel borer. And, while your math it totally wrong for Big Bertha, it should be 0.5 miles/yr. But if you account for the 2 years that it wasn't running for repairs then

In both cases Google chose to follow the law of the region. In one of those cases, it was most profitable to continue selling under the constraints imposed by the law and in the other case it wasn't profitable to do so.

Huh. Strange then that they aren't accelerating the construction of chargers.

But it costs money. And Tesla has been greatly reducing their investment in supercharger infrastructure even as they sell more cars per year.

Incumbents are only having a hard time because they want to be profitable. If they were willing to lose $20 billion they could've sold a lot more EVs by now.
