The answer is clout. A 25 employee software company that is equally innovative on a per-head basis would get laughed out of the government offices if they requested a rate-equivalent tax break.
Your point is taken, but the ability of Tesla to do this whilst other companies do not have the same opportunity strikes many as unfair.
It's the presumption that traditional household structures are archaic. Plenty of modern households operate on the basis of traditional role separation, and it has nothing to do with oppression.
The Boston Beer Company (maker of Samuel Adams) is still technically a craft/micro brewery, since they produce (intentionally) less than 6 million barrels annually. The entire craft brew industry produces less than 8% of all domestic beer.
Calling Sam Adams a "major brand" is a bit of a stretch.
The opposite, actually. Many of us see through the transparent and obviously ham-fisted attempts of the U.S. propaganda machine to drive us into another war.
Not to sound like a AGW denier, but is this really how science is supposed to be done?
1. Posit hypothesis A, with predictions X
2. Gather data to falsify A for twenty years
3. Data contradicts predictions X
4. ???
5. Invent hypothesis B to avoid falsification of A.
Where are you seeing 20-25% effi PV modules? The physics of silicon's bandgap prevents getting much above 18% without (expensive) multiple junction layers (of different material) or concentrators, which tend to reduce module lifecycle time.
"all the time" in the mind of Shanley Kane, et. al. Disclaimers like these are mainly CYA statements such that the rabid hordes of social justice warriors don't throw Y Combinator under the bus on Pando because of a disgruntled founder looking to capitalize on feels where capitalizing on actual talent or acumen failed.
Ok, I've read the article twice and I am missing something here.
I get how these can be used to help imaging, but I'm not clear on how exactly they target cancerous cells in particular. Are they attached to antibodies that seek out specific antigen markers of cancerous cells?
The basis is that these people choose, of their own agency, to shoot up with used needles. This isn't some poor guy getting the cancerous genetic bit flipped by a cosmic ray or an uninsured single mom getting disabled by a drunk driver. These are consequences brought on by the patients themselves. By what moral basis should society be paying for the consequences of willful degeneracy?
An easy fix here is for the patient to be evaluated for fault. If you got Hep C via botched transfusion, you're covered; if, however, you are a degenerate who chose to scrounge up used heroin needles from alleyways, then you're not.
This is, of course, for reasons nobody can adequately respond to with reason instead of feelings, unpopular.
But it's certainly 1. fair and 2. a large cost savings, given the sheer number of Hep C patients who brought it on themselves.
It's scientific fact that intelligence as measured by any manner of g-factor psychometry has heritability correlates of between 0.4 and 0.5. Furthermore, studies such as the Minnesota transracial adoption study show clearly that these correlates apply within racial groups, having fully negated socioeconomic and parenting factors. We have willfully ignored reality per the ideological dictates of progressivism for the last fifty years.
Feelings and ideology trumping reality may work for a while, but it can't last forever when faced with competition from groups and nations that harbor no such illusions, such as the Chinese, who are investing in their genetic research labs to investigate the genetic origins of intelligence so as to benefit their own population generations hence. We, on the other hand, are too frightened to even talk about such investigations. Much to the detriment of our own future.
