If the deaths come to people who are elderly or otherwise close to death anyways and the diabetes comes to a bunch of otherwise healthy 18 year olds the impacts could be different than mere effect sizes would indicate. (Type 1 diabetes is l

It's not that hard to survive on English in Taipei. The official language is Mandarin (though the typical local accent is different from the Beijing-esque prestige dialect). The streets are safe from crime, if that's what you mean

You can probably run a smart company from Florida if you start there but can you transplant a company from New Jersey to Florida and expect it to survive? These corporate HQ moves don't seem to work out well (e.g. Boeing)

It's the second test flight (demo). The first was an uncrewed flight to the International Space Station last year.

Shanghai doesn't (and never will, at the rate things are going) have things that international companies care about like the rule of law.

It's been a bit of a horse race. SpaceX was kind of in the lead for a while but then their capsule's thruster blew up in a ground test which set them back several months. Then Boeing failed their test flight which let SpaceX get b

Given that Southwest Airlines has killed one passenger in its entire history I'm going to say that a methodology that ranks them among the worst in safety is likely suspect.

There are vaccines for animal coronaviruses. There's never been one in humans because there's never been a need for one in humans before.

If everything is offshore it's not subject to the SEC's jurisdiction in the first place. "Permission-less financial innovation" generally means "breaking federal securities law" because nearly all of these sche

The Chinese trial got aborted early due to lack of patients as I understand it so that's not that surprising. It also means this isn't any sort of "miracle" drug though.

To a large extent they normally are "stored" in the air. A typical narrowbody aircraft in the US clocks 9-10 block hours a day (a little less in the air) and widebodies even more. So somewhere around 40% of all commercial passenge
