Yes, but you can double down on this stuff or introduce it in places where it hasn't yet manifested. It's perfect precisely because these are natural inefficiencies.
"Arc gives scientists no-strings-attached, multi-year funding, so that they don’t have to apply for external grants, and invests in the rapid development of experimental and computational technological tools."
Fantastic. This is desperately needed. Thanks Patrick C, Vitalik, et al, for funding this.
The fear campaign is very powerful too. People radically overestimate the risk. A large % of the population overestimates it by 48.4%!
"For unvaccinated hospitalization risk, 2% of Democrats responded correctly, compared with 16% of Republicans. In fact, 41% of Democrats replied that at least 50% of unvaccinated people have been hospitalized due to COVID-19."
I agree. It'd be the same with Covid too if the risk was high. Ultimately the reason so many don't want a Covid vaccine is because the risk of hospitalization is only 1.6% and is well below 1% if you're young and otherwise healthy. Or if you already had Covid and have natural immunity you're about as protected as the vaccinated (<1% chance of hospitalization).
If the risk of hospitalization or death was 10%? 30%? Almost everyone would want the vaccine except the real hardcore anti-vaxxers. You wouldn't have to mandate or otherwise coerce people to take something if the threat was that credible generally. Few resist the smallpox vaccine, for example.
It's a combination of the headline and subtitle (“It’s the most uncoordinated, messed up, insulting display of government incompetence,” one supervisor said) to fit in the character limit and reflects the overall message of the article.
And not just less waste than fossil fuels, it's less waste than what solar panels, batteries and wind turbines produce. A lot of which can't be recycled and ends up in landfill.
For perspective, one person's lifetime nuclear waste would fit in a Coke can.
2. Isn't the intention to allow passengers to use the screen?
3. Idiots who don't pay attention to the road already don't pay attention to the road. They are text messaging, checking notifications, putting on makeup, playing candy crush on their phone, watching netflix on their phone, scrolling twitter, reading email, looking for podcasts and on and on.
