The car that's definitely not spying on you. Does it come with a white balloon in the trunk?

Unfortunately in medicine it's complicated, you want to encourage people to invest in innovation so you give companies patents on stuff they discover/invent. Then because you've given a patent you've also given them a monopoly.
I don't know how to solve that problem

The batteries in iPhones are actually adhered using adhesive pull-tabs, which is the second most consumer-friendly method (the most would be a removable cover in the style of early smartphones). The hard part is that an iPhone battery replacement requires removal of the display and a bunch of other components, which can be time-consuming and difficult for someone who doesn't regularly do that kind of repair.

America uses the capitalism model (more than most countries at least) and they have the highest income from people traveling for healthcare.
It is clearly doing something right, even if it's doing a lot wrong.

So this is more wormhole than FTL? Somehow entanglement causes wormhole like behavior and not faster than light travel?

Reply to Google staff asked to share desk space in latest cost purge From free message therapy and on-site gyms to alternating desk days with fellow Googlers by science-raven
Hot desking like this is common when you have less people coming into the offfice consistently. I wouldn't be surprised if they aren't eyeing possibly moving to smaller offices with less dedicated offices and mostly hot desks.

That’s the point. There is nothing to believe because every authoritative source of truth is also pushing an agenda. The best we have is to use a secondary flow of information that “we” are in control of; we already have that in word of mouth. It ultimately just comes down to whether you want to trust the internet people who are “just like you” or the internet people that get to keep their platforms because they lie to you(and these are actually just the same group of people 90% of the time).

For the cost of medical devices these days, I would imagine that for some people buying 2 apple watches and switching them out would be cheaper than a 24-hr monitoring device.

The economics of medicine are deeply weird though, like I can imagine the Qaly's gained by such monitoring being worth subsidizing in some fashion, but in no other industry does an advance in the underlying tech contribute to acute suffering because, when Ferrari releases a new faster car, no one thinks they have to have it, but as soon as a regime that improves life outcomes exists people that can't afford the initial asking price become furious they can't afford it, contra Ferrari's. Despite the fact that they're no worse off than before the magic tech existed.

I live with a reporter for the mainstream media (large public broadcasting station) and get to experience her job from the home office. Editorial meetings involve arguments about what to cover and how.
"Everything" includes a lot of bullshit opinions, and it's folly to assume we each have the background necessary to separate truth from falsehood across every topic.

That's absolutely amazing. So in theory when we have FTL spacecrafts we can communicate over vast distances without any problems.

Particles have a minnimum possible energy state that is slightly above zero, if you can find a way to extract that energy you can do it endlessly because the particles energy can't actually be reduced so you can extract that same energy over and over again. (Assuming no mechanisms we haven't discovered yet don't prevent this)

If the debate is between factual evidence and studies versus “well I think”, the reality is obvious.
