Quite simple, what happens reflects the nature of a privatised for profit system. They do lip service to government regulations but if it is more profitable to ignore the rules then the cost of the penalties, regardless of the outcome, then private for profit entities will ignore the rules. When it comes to high risk medical services putting it in the hands of private for profit capitalists based upon the reality of the last century of private for profit entities, is just plain nuts, especially where those private for profit entities would actually generate more profits by failure than by success ie the spread of an infectious disease for them to treat.

A failure to understand humanity. All things have their place in the social cooperative effort that is humanity. Intelligence, common sense and creativity. Creativity comes from people willing to do nothing more than spending a great deal of time sitting and thinking, why because due to genetics their brains directly reward them with desirably brain chemicals for sitting and thinking. However those creative people do need the support of the rest of human society to spend so much time sitting and thinking but that is the nature of homo sapien, they do not do it alone, they do not survive alone, they do not evolve alone. They do it together and they do not do it together by being the same but by being slightly different and being able to specialise within human society and fulfil all the roles required to produce an ever developing and evolving human social species.

You do understand the difference between the evolution of a social species versus a species that survives alone. As a social species we evolve 'togethor' and go extinct 'togethor', it is psychopathic to 'write' down that we in any way do it alone. Psychopaths and narcissists only see themselves, it is the nature of their genetic defect, it is normal to see and fully appreciate we do it all together, just as I write and others read.

Technically, the most accurate description for a usable operating system and interface, is as invisible as possible, whilst allowing the user to, configure the system, search for files and launch applications. In addition rather than pointless prettiness the operating system and graphical user interface should incorporate applications in the base package that the bulk of people use, so office suite (spread sheet, word processor, simple relational database and, vector drawing tool), calendering application, email and, web browser for example.

Private industries continual shift of the service goal posts. Originally government, booked to the hour, sometimes a little early or late and everyone complained. Private industry takes over, booked to within two hours, people complained louder. That soon changed booked morning or afternoon and people complained even louder. Then it went to booked for sometime on a day, a bit of the old, ' screw you', to the complainers and then spend up big on advertising saying how great service is, so much better than that nasty old government service.

Cooperation is very easy to achieve, simply remove the genetic defects from society, those that lack an autonomic empathic response and are unable to develop properly socially (narcissist) and those that in addition to that have an very shallow emotional base (psychopaths). Capitalism is basically a social construct of paychopaths, a system by which a minority may parasitically pray upon the majority to feed the insatiable greed, lusts and egos of that psychopathic minority. They basically corrupt the rest of human society and if there numbers as a percentage rise to high trigger the self consuming collapse of that society. There are now infallible tests to discover psychopaths which they can not cheat. So , yes, a truly cooperative society is within reach, just as it was with rule by tribal elders so it will be again by true democratic by mature socially genetically sound adults.

Truth is before going on about systems with 4K or 5K or any other K display, first and foremost is not how they look when consuming content but how well they work when creating content, now that's the slashdot viewpoint. What it looks like when playing content you buy, excluding all forms of interactive content requiring real processing power, is for the TV guide. Apple has long since hidden it's lack of real processing capability to pump up its profit margins behind a masquerade of pretty pictures and marketing.

Reality is by far the majority of products in the modern market place driven largely by 'exclusivity' compete on PR=B$(lies for profit) and idiot pseudo celebrity endorsement (liars for profit) and of course contaminating and corrupting every internet review web site they can. This of course because in the face of reality, the majority would mock the crap out of the rich idiots buying 'exclusivity' like it means something beyond being a poseur douche.

You are just repeating the same stupidity over and over again, as if that idiot right ideology actually means something. Competition just creates failure in the majority, the winners keep their secrets but it does not matter, inevitably as history has proven they 'ALL' in turn fail, so instead of cooperation you have repeated endless failure.

OHH AHH 'idealised' cooperation, how moronic can you be, without 'idealised' cooperation we would be naked animals screaming in the darkness, which is exactly what you end up with a population of psychopaths, dog eat dog competition, or more accurately rabid dog eat rabid dog because smart dogs actually managed 'idealised' cooperation.

What way works best, hmm, established measurement metrics the report productivity, safety, resource usage and pollution minimisation. Then simply model and simulate new methods that smart people come up and where they show promise try them out in limited trials and where success is indicated apply them across the wider market. Not idiot psychopaths who have no idea other than 'mwah haha' lets have competition and management by failure where management can take credit for the successes and blame everyone else for the by far majority repeated failures, because in reality psychopathic management has no idea what they are doing, which is basically the current model for corporate management.

One could just imagine how you would apply you stupid competition model in pharmaceutical applications. Just administer all and every substance in the population and them when people survive and you cure the problem you have a winner, as for the loses 'er' 'um' the ones that survive can learn from the winners.

Competition is management by failure because that is the majority outcome and success is the minority 'temporary' outcome because success inevitably also leads to failure.

Again you adhere to the fantasy that competition only has winners, the PR=B$ marketing delusion, competition inherently means there must be losers, lots and lots of losers, in fact far more losers than winners and losers as the majority represent a system of continual failure, failure as the majority element of a psychopathic society based upon competition rather than cooperation. So pushing the bullshit of competition with only winners and you never have losers ie repeated failure, just like the standard statistic for failure in small business is 9 out of 10, a 90% failure rate basically in the majority a system based upon failure, hence it's psychopathic insane nature, when applied within a social species meant to be cooperating.

The insane idea that humanity exist to service corporations is, well, insane. Our society exists to service and support us, it has been corrupted by psychopaths to allow them to exploit us to service and support themselves only. The idea that competition is the ideal management solution is a direct measure of that insanity, real fairies at the bottom of the garden stuff. Competition as the solution means failure as a solution. That's was competition versus cooperation is about, competition is about using failure as a normal everyday occurrence and cooperation is about avoiding failure.

Examples of competition in business. Health insurance where people who paid premiums and when they need them the company fails after feeding huge amount of cash in management pockets now have no coverage. In schools it means failed schools put their students through a year of education for nothing, which now has to be repeated. Hospitals where patients suffer and die until they are shut down. Prison where recidivism is a desirable corporate objective, have to keep those prisoners coming back, until the governments that fund them finally shut them down as failures.

Competition is not a sound management principle, it is a psychopathic management principle because it is driven by failure. Even winning companies can still be bought out and mismanaged directly into failure, in fact it is historically inevitable.

More likely a direct funnel to keep the flow of information going from the NSA to Keith Alexander. This flow protected by existing information.

Unfortunately it also generates large amounts of pollution and waste a huge amount of resources. It also corrupts the economy resulting in huge wasteful losses. It affect nothing says luxury like psychopathy.

Likely that person is confusing efficiency with loss. Induction is less efficient but the energy loss is through the conductive performance of the cables and heat generated rather than efficiency losses through induction. Safety issues, vandalism and of course stupid mistakes all will drive induction as the quickest, safest, easiest method of charging, where that charging is secondary to other services or goods provided at that location. As for airgap, if the induction points are in the front and rear bumper and you provide an impact absorbing buffer at the supply point, gap is minimised.

Nothing says luxury like an exclusive price that the nobodies can not afford. From wine to clothing, price defines quality and egoistic gullibility defines worth. Luxury is no longer about any values other than exclusivity where excluding the majority from it and being able to pose with it, is what it really is all about.
