I do realize that. I'm not making a comparative judgement here. I'm mentioning that fsd as a feature is pretty amazing to me. Elon does over promise, but seems to at least partially deliver (as opposed to total vaporware).

solely about the FSD part of your comment. I got a chance to ride in a 2024 edition of the system this year and I was shocked at how good it was. Was it level 5? of course not. But from my very lay understanding of level 3 it seemd to have

In addition to many others commenting that a great defense is to reject a lot of things. But also it strikes me, perhaps we're also approaching the limits of "drugs" as in compounds delivered by topical, oral ingestion, injec

There's a cluster of issues and, as an engineer, I've learned to focus less on the final actor and more on the roots that lead to that outcome. 1. Why are high risk drugs not a multiparty sign off? (think like company financial co

So long as there is a relatively open market, where companies who wish to compete can do so fairly (ie the gov't isn't making them play with a handicap), I'm open to a public fund for some forms of healthcare expenditures wit

Based on my exposure to Canadians, they lament how much tax they pay, and they're unhappy with the single provider monopoly where their pets can get faster and better care for cash than they can get themselves.

I agree with you about Infant genital mutilation (circumcision) but disagree the issue is the doctors themselves. I think the shrinking pool of competition is the major issue. (Hospitals being privatized with VC money etc)

That is an invested capital issue. If it's not worth building a plant, they wont. The supply will fall until the prices rise enough to incentivize new plants. If the elec prices rise enough the datacenters will find alternate solutions

I hear and understand those, but why isn't it a regulation or requirements issue? Ambient noise must be contained, excess heat must be mitigated, free hot water must be provided to nearby buildings. etc. Also this is a city's opp
