How medical insurance works

And when the patient turned out to be fine after the scan, the insurance company will try to blame that the doctors are lying so that the insurance company has to pay the hospital more It's like they thought that the doctors must be able to see through the patients' body as if they forgot that the reason for these equipments to exist in the first place is that because the doctors can't really be 100% sure about what's actual situation inside human body

Tesla is banned from driving schools because of new turn signals

Reply in thread

the article says that it's more difficult to use this turn signal in the roundabout ( as the button is on the wheel so its position shifted along with the steering wheel, as opposed to the static position of the stalk ) and the driver has to shift a part of their attention to locate the button The person who found this also ask other instructors and they agreed, that's why they're not buying this model

but IMO if I'm an ownwer of a driving school looking to buy new cars for students, I'd pick more generic one too. Students would prefer to learn how to operate most cars than a specific model. Like how most music school would prefer normal guitar than double neck guitar

It's wild that they get away with charging for it

game prices don't completely cover the cost of development and definitely don't cover server operation costs every month.

Nope. while it might be true for small independent game developers it's totally false for big company, like MS just a fifth of the profit they paid to shareholders is enough to run good server for like five years

Games from big companies, except the games that went flop, or F2P games, or the game that purposefully sell at low price in order to sell other forms of microtransactions, then most games are profitable

they don't have to rely on monthly subscription to be profitable but the problem for them is "the profit is not high enough" and that's why they do this

Tesla Has The Highest Accident Rate Of Any Auto Brand

Reply in thread

Are you comparing with other cars at the same price range or cheaper cars?

I don't know but based from my experience(since you also commented based on your experience), compared to some other brands although Tesla are better than some cheaper models of other brands, some are better than Tesla if you compared to the models with the same price range

Yes, some brands might be worse, but Tesla is not quite considered as being the best

Apple Has Sold Approximately 200,000 Vision Pro Headsets

Reply in thread

its weight is around the same as Oculus(Meta) Quest 2 And people have been using Quest 2 for hours, there are even some headstrap+power bank accessories for that too Quest 2 (503g) lasts 2+ hours BoboVR B2 battery (140g) last 2+ hours So people have been using 650g headset for hours normally before

Also, motorcycle helmet weight 1500g Safety helmet Weight 200-600g So I think the weight is not the problem, just they aren't used to that

Interesting how artists don't make enough money from their creations, so our solution is to make certain information illegal to share, rather than give them a universal basic income.

With how advanced the current technology is, people are actually no longer need to work in order to survive or have basic necessities. But artificial pressure were created so people have to help amassing the wealth for billionaires/corporates.
Sure, there might be some people who're want to do nothing and live in as a lowest class without anything other than basic necessity but there would be very small amount of them as human usually strive for the better QoL. And we also shouldn't just let people die if they don't want to work. If they want to be at the bottom of the society, just let them be. "You have to work in order to survive"-Age actually should have ended long ago if not for the severe inequality issue we're having. Yes, it won't solve EVERY problem but it wil solve MANY problems and there aren't many downside to it other than billionaires having lower number in their bank accounts.

And drugs, alcholism, and theft issues weren't caused by being jobless, it caused by many issues like lacking proper education, bad upbringing, security issues, and being penniless. Also alcoholism problem among the poor is actually a cognitive bias. According to the statistics, middle class has more alcoholism issues than the lower class
