What's the point of the large-scale recall of cars that have been unaffected, then, if not to put in a revised part? And if they're putting a revised part into cars that are part of the recall, why wouldn't they put the same part into new cars?
I genuinely don't know what you were doing there. Was that an attempt at humour? Anyway, I had the privilege of working with many of the medics who joined the firm via the medical elective program, and they were always very impressive. But then, that was also true of almost everyone else as well.
(As an aside, it's true to say that the healthcare practice felt quite distinct from other parts of the firm in the nature of its work, even from the public sector practice. But it had much more in common with the rest of McKinsey than it did with any other organisation)
I worked there for 10 years. Among other things, I did work that was in the public domain. It included improving patients' access to family doctors (GPs, primary care physicians) in an impoverished part of East London. The analysis was the trivial part. Get back to me when an AI can take a room full of angry suspicious doctors and other staff on the requisite quasi-grief journey required for them to accept that their current way of working isn't good enough, work through the sadness that causes, get them past the despair of thinking the situation is irrecoverable and then commit to the extensive, complex and subtle behavioural changes required to deliver better access. Could AI have accelerated and deepened the impact my team had on this work? No doubt. Could it have replaced us? Not till it can stand in the room and see the flaring of the receptionist's nostrils while the GP is talking about the patients, and understand what that means, and how to respond.
In a way, this is the same mistake as the PE guys thinking that they have the same skills as consultants, but are better analysts. Then one of them ends up PM - Rishi - and finds out that working really hard and being dead good at Excel aren't the fucking be-all and end-all, and that if you're the kind of twat that's rude to cleaners and secretaries, you don't have the people skills for the job. Not that he actually learned the lesson, because he lacks the people skills etc.
That’s the more important figure for Hyundai. It launched in 2021. It puts it about 3 to 10x below a big-selling global crossover such as the Tucson or CRV, so a fair way to go yet. It will now be a profit centre, and of course sales growth is still trending strongly upwards. I reckon Hyundai will be pleased with its progress thus far
1. Which is why there's been a recall
2. If there's a recall for the issue, then you don't have to worry about it on a *new purchase*, because the fix will already be in place
This is an incredibly rare issue. There are more than 250,000 Ioniq 5s being driven around the world, and a tiny fraction have had an ICCU failure. This just isn't the kind of thing you should bother worrying about. You'd be far better off watching a decent review of them, like this one. (It's by a British guy, but gives a good sense of the car)
Turning off comments wouldn’t prevent them from being banned. What Australian politicians want is to wave a magic wand and auto-censor the content so there is no harmful content discoverable by kids, with perfect specificity and sensitivity. This is obviously impossible on a site that relies on large-scale uploads from users.
I’m 100% with you. This ban is clearly going to do more harm than good. There will be millions of Australian kids who use videos like the Khan Academy to learn maths, science, history, languages etc. This move is completely, utterly bonkers. It’s such an obvious, absurd a reaction to the modern world from technophobes.
You’re talking to a British poster who, like me, therefore knows more about public transport than you because we live in a country where it is functional. Consequently, we are both aware that in fact, underground rail services that are high capacity require *much* more complex signalling than what’s used for cars. Underground rail systems need predictive and automated signals to ensure safety given the long stopping distances; have centralised control rooms that manage dozens of trains in realtime requiring sensors, software, train-to-control comms and failsafes; must coordinate block occupancy to avoid collisions; must handle high density (2min headway) without compromising safety or efficiency; and requires more frequent testing, certification and more extensive redundancy. None of this gets avoided just by using a tram-like system instead of light-rail, and none of it is avoidable by virtue of this being light- instead of heavy-rail. The latter is faster but deals with much longer distances and much lower densities, so signalling is actually not more complex than for metro systems.
Ha. Well, yes, but I still stand by my original statement as the GOP is committed to making *everything* fail, not just HSR
if the capacity requirements drop down to 2k an hour, a tunnel is going to be less cost effective than better surface public transport. Buses will be a lot cheaper than some sort of special “bus type vehicle” plus a tunnel etc.
I’m old enough to remember when Segways were going to disrupt everything. Micromobility is now expanding rapidly, but none of that is Segways.
But the point is there’s nothing inherent in HSR that means it *had* to fail in California (or the UK). It is about the structural and governance barriers that exist in both countries, which are wildly different from other countries.
This article captures some of the issues in the UK, much of which applies to the US too:

“Even”
It’s *especially* difficult for the Boring Company, because it’s a private organisation “run” by a ket-addled pillock
Yep. And I’m 100% sure that the costs of the Tesla tunnel are a lot more than 10% of the costs of a subway, so the cost per passenger per hour is going to be higher, not lower. (Obvs the full costs needs to account for electricity, rolling stock capex and opex, etc, but the basics are crystal clear).
Also the OP is being trite, comparing the speed of a dedicated airport-link tunnel with the NYC subway. The former is designed as a shuttle service, so obviously can optimise for speed, and there’s lots of train-based shuttles that do exactly the same. Heathrow Express, for example, takes 15 mins and runs at 110mph. Oslo has Flytoget which takes 19 mins and runs at 130mph. Each carries hundreds of passengers per train.
If you are good, you will be assigned all the work. If you are real good, you will get out of it.
