> Its very low efficiency strongly limits its mass market uptake

The Taycan is an expensive sports car. It will never have mass market uptake regardless of its efficiency.

The Macan is Porsche's best selling model because it's the cheapest Porsche you can buy and it's a compact SUV which is a popular body style.

> expensive charge, slow charge even with the 800V

The Taycan comes with three years of free charging on some charging networks. In any case, charging costs are the least of your worries relative to the cost of the car.

The Taycan achieves 80% state of charge in 22.5 minutes. That's hardly slow.

One great use of this could taking good parts of a cancer's patient's liver, regrowing the parts independently and then putting back the part that does not show any sign of cancer.

Not sure if one week will do it, but could be very viable when this tech is extended to more than a week.

Major advantage of reusing one's liver is the body would be less likely to reject it, hence relying less on immune suppression medications.
Yeah, personally the feature I'm looking forward to is materializing "changes" into a document without losing editing history.

Actually, it would take a _lot_ longer, almost twice as long. The average student loan rate is around ~6%, which means that a $1k payment a month would work out to 23 years (I compounded monthly for simplicity, so subtract a year for a fudge factor if you'd like).

Funny story, London buses have traditionally had only one entrance at the front (apart from bendy buses), which made the driver also function as a ticket inspector. The new Routemasters introduced by mayor Boris Johnson have ticket touch points at each entrance and many people abuse this and get free rides. Johnson promoted those buses heavily and stated they would have a second person working inside as a ticket inspector like they used to have back in the day, but TFL said that this was never an option or even point of discussion, and there is no way to pay for the second employee in every bus. A single bus fare is £1.50 , a day ticket is £4.50 and fare evasion can cost up to a few hundred, but many people still use the new buses for free.

I agree that unemployment benefits aren’t the metaphorical ejector seat here. But, regarding “fired” vs “laid off,” at least in California, you’re generally eligible for unemployment benefits even if you were fired, as long as you weren’t fired for illegal or malicious activity. In particular, if you didn’t care about losing a reference and burning bridges, you could get fired for poor performance and still collect unemployment. I can’t think of a plausible situation where it would be beneficial, but you could certainly do it.
In answer to your edit, probably downvoted because your post seems to have no point, other than to say "this is nonsense". Also, at a glance it sounds like the prelude to a homeopathy advert - doctors aren't listening to our bodies, they should be more in tune with their [insert pseudoscience rubbish here]. And given the narrow focus of the original post (talking about bias in economic trade-offs) fairly off-topic.

how to better support the body's "inherent healing properties"

That's almost exactly what most drugs are designed to do. Vaccines don't kill maladies, just hint at your body to prep for a siege. Painkillers don't kill pain, just hint at your body to ignore it. Antibiotics are an exception to this I believe (though happy to be corrected). So I'm pretty sure the majority of drug research is exactly what you've said that more doctors should do.

They had a saying along the lines of "We hire everyone because we sell to everyone."

This is correct, there are a lot more funded PhD places in engineering and science than there are in the arts and social sciences.

Of course, an economist would point to the 'opportunity cost' [1] - if you leave a job paying £30,000 after tax to take a PhD with a tax-free stipend of £15,009 the 'opportunity cost' of doing a PhD is £14,991 a year.

According to the FDA itself (1), adverse drug reactions (ADRs) "are one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in health care" and may be the fourth leading cause of death.

We need people willing to speak up and be skeptical. And whatever small reward they may obtain by doing so is trivial in comparison to the billions that pharma and their sponsored scientists stand to gain by unjustified cheerleading.

It's laughable to question the motives and incentives of skeptics like Prasad while ignoring the immeasurably greater perverse incentives in favor of approving drugs too quickly.

I can understand the desire, the hope, that a new drug might be the miracle we've been waiting for. But precisely because we so desperately want new drugs to be helpful, it's crucial to remain rational and evaluate new drugs based on what they actually do, not based on our hopes or on the claims made by pharma companies.

Theoretically, inflation, even hyper-inflation, should not affect the economy or businesses in anyway. The real problem is the uncertainty of inflation. Practically speaking, even certain hyperinflation has costs: the prices rise faster than people can react to them (reprice goods, update software, etc). But I think certain inflation up to maybe 50%/year isn't that big of a deal.
I don't like CCTV in a hidden or a visible manner. It doesn't make me feel save at all, on the contrary. I have been a target of vandalism multiple times and a cam might have helped in solving a type of crime that otherwise would very likely remain unsolved. But it is just not worth it and it is not even close.

If a camera would film my immediate vicinity where I live, I wouldn't certainly extend that vandalism to state property.

Public transport increasingly uses CCTV as do some chains of supermarkets. Otherwise it is not yet established in my country yet but I already avoid both.

And bashing a window is still nothing compared to crimes some security agencies or police forces have comitted.

No, that's not true. Money can be either debt-based or non-debt-based.

The current government issued money is based on debt. It means that in order to create new money, someone has to be in debt for that amount. I.e. someone has to promise to create value in the future. When more promises are made, the monetary base inflates and money loses value. Money is created at the central bank (public/national debt) and in commercial banks (private debt).

The alternative is money that is based on value that was created in the past. The distinction is that the work already happened and there's no promise to be held. Such money can be anything that requires work to obtain, and can't be created in any other way. Examples of such money are gold and bitcoin.

>This is simply a convoluted fantasy. Marx’ own words prove you wrong.

Please, for the love of God, read Marx. Actually read Marx and understand the context he was writing in. Talk to any Marx scholar or go to any encyclopedia of philosophy. Ask a political science professor, or even just read Wikipedia. But don't misrepresent someone's thought because you don't understand it.

>The state will control all property, any property an individual possesses will be exclusively granted by the state, and no person will possess any property in excess of their basic needs.

The part you quoted does not actually claim this. When Marx talks about "appropriation that is made for [...] of human life", if you read his Critique of the Gotha Program, he specifically explicates on this: products of society to fund education systems, healthcare, expansion of production, funds for those who are physically unable to work, and protection against natural disaster. This is exactly how taxes work today. Furthermore, Marx clearly says "all instruments of production". This does not include, as you falsely claim, "all property, any property".

What you are claiming is that because Marx talks about appropriation of surplus, then he must therefore be talking about all labour. This is false and not backed up with any quote you have shown. Marx is talking no more about taking away your toothbrush or laptop as much as a Western European state today takes them away through taxes.

Don't just believe me. Do your own research. Read more than the Manifesto (since this seems to be your only source, it's worth noting that Marx changed his views significantly afterwards, and with the publication of Capital). If you want a short read as to why you're wrong, where Marx specifically responds to people who want "equality of outcome", where he specifically explicates what he means by "instruments of production", read Critique of the Gotha Program. Consult a scholar on Marx.

This has to be one of the most unproductive conversations I've had on HN, in which you quote one propaganda document written years before Marx had published anything serious, in which all Marxologists and philosophers agree his views and philosophy had changed. Read, and don't stop reading.

Does this have anything at all to do with the article, other than serving as a flimsy excuse to be homophobic?
But the statistic you cite might just as likely be evidence that the system is working very well. If the drugs being approved are 99.999% perfectly efficacious and 0.001% deadly then nearly all the deaths would be attributable to when the drugs fail. We aren't going to do better than that.

The better the system works and the more effective the medicines, the more deaths will be attributed mainly to adverse drug reactions. That is why we must tolerate them. We can't work towards a system where nobody dies in hospitals; but we can work to one where the leading cause of death is failure of medical care as opposed to natural causes.

The better our healthcare gets, the more likely the leading cause of death will be "nurse didn't follow the checklist", "the machine broke" or "the drugs made their body go haywire" and similar. Something has to be the leading cause of death. As we become gods unto our own bodies that cause will be human factors and mistakes.

but might be an issue to someone looking to avoid 5-Eyes.

It's email. Any pretense of avoiding 5/9 eyes is already moot. Any conversation has at least 2 participants, and since 50+ percent of the world population runs on some kind of hosted email (Gmail/Outlook/Yahoo/whatever), anything you send has a high probability of passing through 5/9 eyes anyway. It doesn't make much of a difference if you look through the "from:" or "to:" headers.

The only way to be safe from 5 eyes is encrypting all the contents in your mailbox, either through GnuPG or using Protonmail/Tutanota.

I always thought the failure of tools like Frontpage and Dreamweaver was a reflection on the inadequacies of HTML/CSS/JavaScript as much as the tools themselves.

If I want to typeset a book or magazine I'm not going to start by writing PostScript or PDF files in VIM. If I want to design a tool then Autocad is likely to be my starting point. Why should the web be any different, why do I need to learn some arcane text based language when all I want to do is adjust the margins on an image or include some data in a page.

> Restrict data storage to anonymised statistical usage only

Alas, this is easily 'de-anonymised' and so any privacy gains would be quickly lost:

No, look at, for instance, page 3 of the PDF (page 557 of the scanned document). You can see faint traces of what was supposed to be there.
I often see people say that we don't have an expectation of privacy in public. However, it seems to me that ignores the nuance of actual social norms.

- Eavesdropping is generally considered anti-social.

- Taking up-skirt pictures in public is, I presume, illegal.

- If someone buys their prescriptions at a public grocery store, would it be alright for someone in the store to photograph their medical data?

It seems to me that the law needs to differentiate between the general sense in which one doesn't have privacy in public (e.g. the public probably has the right to know if a "family values" politician goes to a strip club) and actively spying on someone.

This is particularly the case when technology makes spying possible in a way that it wasn't previously. For example, I imagine it's not uncommon for many people to carry confidential information openly (say carrying a prescription in your hand as you walk to the grocery store) because it's not realistically possible for someone to read it and connect it to you. However, that changes with high speed photography, OCR, and facial recognition.

No, not compressed - the offset would always be (much) larger than the arbitrary chunk of data. It's flawed intuition to think of the information as "in" pi - it's "in" the offset, and pi is essentially a small decryption algorithm.
