The reason Tesla does not fall under this legislation seems pretty simple to me, but IANAL… The law applies to vehicles with the "capability to drive a vehicle without the active physical control or monitoring by a human operator"

I’m not personally a big fan of “purebreds”, but breed was important to me because I had small children and needed an extremely predictable and fairly easily obtained behavior profile. Specifically, I wanted a dope of a dog that was a livin

Trials are absolutely free for the participants. Insurance won’t pay for non-FDA approved treatments and it’s illegal to charge for them anyway. Ancillary routine FDA approved testing that accompanies the trials may be billed to insurance i

“Anyone who doesn't fully and unambiguously support…” Please, stop right there. If you find yourself in this line of thinking, consider for a moment that you’re being a zealot.

What is “artificial” happiness? If a device that isn’t plugged directly into my brain makes me happy, is it no longer artificial because it’s being experienced via typical sensory inputs? Or can an external device also cause this “artificia

It’s very late to reply, but I think a bunch of these claims are not entirely true, or at least not true universally across the US. Medicaid has legal acceptance requirements that other insurance does not. I believe large hospitals in parti

I’d rather store an HMAC of the token. That way you’re hashing the user input, which sanitizes it. It also protects against timing attacks.* And most importantly it protects against credentials leaking. Even insiders who can read a token fr

I’m convinced that the single best way to improve the current private-insurance based system is that it should be illegal to charge two different patients a different price for the same test, drug, or procedure given at the same hospital. I

Yes, this is the retort every time someone posts these numbers, which is why I said they are not apples to apples comparisons. But in the context of the OP comment that Tesla ADAS software makes driving 1000x more dangerous it is clear evid

This is a truly massive fine by any measure. First of all you’re looking at global revenue and not just France, which can’t be more than 10%. Second you’re looking at revenue from all sources, and here we’re taking about links just to news

We have actual statistics on how well humans do with Tesla ADAS and it’s remarkably well. The accident rate numbers are hard to compare apples-to-apples since miles driven with all ADAS features active are different from miles driven withou

Not entirely indiscriminate. For example as I understand it, a lot of chemo drugs attack cells that divide quickly. Which is why a lot of times hair loss is a side effect because they are some of the faster dividing cells in the body.

In my very limited experience it seems like space is much less an issue than power density. You can fit far more kW/U than the datacenter can possibly cool. In the commodity space that I rent, I ran out of power before filling even hal

There’s a huge mythology apparently in the groups that the DSPs frequently discuss these sorts of things around exactly the “right amount” you should tweak the routes, because apparently the changes are fed back into the model and can impac
