Yeah there is something fishy here. There is ample evidence of anti competitive behaviour. TM/LN are well known in the industry as being bullies. This should be a slam dunk case for someone who really wanted to chase it.
The resale market at minimum should be separated, if not the ticketing from the touring side.
I trust they considered the bias in medical research that exists in their training. I wonder if OpenAI will implement morbidity & mortality (M&M) rounds to learn from the mistakes and missed diagnosis.
Based on the reports of various failings on the safety front, I sure hope users will take that into account before they get advice to take 500g of aspirin.
I’m a happy bidet owner who retrofitted one. The biggest challenge was understanding local regulations and product design when it came to backflow prevention.

As a Model S owner I can attest to the awesomeness of the car. Will hit 20,000km in the next few weeks.
Moreover I'm hoping that Tesla will challenge others in the industry to rethink their business model from the ground up. In 2013 why are we still replacing mufflers, why are using timing belts and not timing chains, and why is it that every time I walk into the dealership for a regular service I end up walking out with an even bigger bill than I expected? I get there is always wear and tear on a mechanical component but how many components are there in a typical car that are designed to fail to support an after market industry? I want a car built right and will pay more for that to avoid getting hooked into an industry that has become addicted to model year turnover revenue.
As a Model S owner I found that taking the position that an electric vehicle (EV) should behave exactly the same as an internal combustion engine (ICE) car, especially in sub-zero temperatures was a big mistake on his part. Before we set out to test the limits of our Model S in cold weather we spent time learning about how it behaves. Call me crazy, but when using a different fuel source that seems like a reasonable step to me?
If your focus in pure money ROI then I supposed you would be right. At some point, however, we need to vote with our wallets to influence larger investment decisions. At the early stages of adoption per-unit costs will be higher than volume manufacturing. This is where Tesla is at this point (and the EV segment as a whole). If I continued to buy internal combustion vehicles because they were cheaper then I would continue to prop up a segment that needs to either be deprecated or pivot.
At this price point I am willing to vote with my wallet in hopes that it will spur on further investment to broaden the market in turn driving down prices through better technology and higher volume sales. This is no different than the PC market in the 1980s - very expensive to buy a PC, but if none of us did then we would have had a different outcome.
What is different about this investment than, say, buying a Ferrari is that this feels like something that is moving us forward rather than burning cash on a cool car that the ladies will dig (although you do hope for that as well - it's cool being green after all, right? :)).
I'm very excited for mine to arrive in the next 90 days. I know I will be an early adopter in the EV world but I look at it as less of a splurge and more of an investment that could move the industry forward. This will be my fifth car owned and I am tired of two faced dealers, incremental improvements, design without vision and an industry that can but won't improve because of the lucrative parts & service aftermarket. Radio and television is littered with people giving away cars with 0% financing (baking in the profit elsewhere I suspect). It's only a matter of time before we have to bail the auto makers out again.
I'm putting my money into Tesla because I believe that if they can make it to the Model E (Bluestar - $30-40k sedan) then we'll have a whole new ballgame on our hands in the automotive space. The Model S is the testing ground for volume manufacturing, the Model X will test platform re-use, then we reach the Model E which will drive down costs.
In the mean time I encourage you all to test drive one - even if you are not going to purchase - it's quite the experience. The Tesla stores around North America are now getting their in-store models for test drives. With leasing opening up next summer (rumour has it) it should also make it a tad more accessible to the general public.
