You are raising some valid points and I greatly appreciate the detailed argument but the comment only includes argument from one particular side, hence this reply. :) A similar argument was used in the Harvey Weinstein case. Of course, this doesn't mean that this behavior should be completely...

Yes, sorry - should've clarified my statement. This feature reminds me of the early implementation of Navigate on Autopilot. The car signals how it perceives the space around it (the adjacent lane is free for a lange change / the traffic light is a certain color). The user then has to provide...

That statement on the page is a lie, unfortunately. Biden attended a fundraiser of a fossil fuel executive. When pressed about it, he lied and said "He’s not a fossil fuel executive”. His campaign also has several other ties to the energy industry [1], [2], [3]. But of course he would be better...

Regarding the debate about voting for the lesser evil: I do agree with you that voting for the lesser of two evils is of course better than not voting at all and thus enabling the more evil option. Especially considering the current situation with the Supreme Court. However, I do also...

Indeed, the unequal bargaining power there is very similar. Also, just like the private healthcare industry, prices there are also not really transparent. The UK is an (unfortunately) great example, where funerals prices have increased 122% since 2004...

The argument that the system is painful for the average American was not based on opinion polls asking people about scary change, but based on the number of deaths in the US healthcare system (~30k per year) and the number of families that go bankrupt due to medical debt (~500,000 per year)...

That argument is not consistent, though. If your worry is a monopolistic market behavior, wouldn't that mean that a single-payer system is the ultimate monopoly? However, if you look at the graph, Canada's single-payer system is incredibly cost-efficient compared to the United States. Also...

This US healthcare debate honestly seems so weird to almost every non-US citizens. I agree, pretty much every industry should be run by private institutions. However, the healthcare industry deals with consumers that are very vulnerable and have absolutely no bargaining power. This unequal power...

Given the last 24h, I've decided to pause my lurking and revisit my first post on this website. This 'news' was just dropped by CNN: Bernie Sanders told Elizabeth Warren in private 2018 meeting that a woman can't win, sources say - CNNPolitics Given that Bernie heavily encouraged Warren to run...

I don't think this has been posted before: Gigafactory4 on Twitter There was a council meeting in Brandenburg on Dec 04 with different political parties. The Green party apparently raised the issue of water protected area on the GF4 area. This was Dr. Steinbach's reponse (Head of the Ministry...

The quote you cited actually translates to ‘Audi surely does not beat the Model X this way’ - as you noted, the efficiency is quite embarrassing. The author finishes the review by saying: ‘I’m convinced that e-tron GT will be better. It will have lower air resistance and the technology of the...

Semi-OT: TLDR: Germany is continuing to do everything in its power to not commit to EVs. This post was motivated by my deep frustration with the disinformation being spread around and wanting to provide you with more insights about one of the biggest car markets worldwide: Germany. Three days...

Because I have not seen it being posted here, yet (apologies if I missed it): "Xinmin Evening News reports today China Quality Certification Center, Shanghai Market Inspection Bureau & Shanghai Free Trade Experiment Zone jointly signs an agreement, allowing foreign automakers in the zone to...

Agreed, the Democratic establishment (aka Republican light) is just one of many interests that he'll have to fight. Indeed. I didn't say it was easy for Warren to not endorse Hillary. But the fact that she did, shows me that she does not have the political courage necessary to actually...

Hello everyone, I've been following this thread and the investors thread closely since the beginning of Q1. I believe the upcoming 2020 elections are of critical importance for the world as a whole and thus would like to give my two cents regarding the Bernie - Warren debate. I'd like to...
