You've misread the DOL chart. 2016 was the first year with fewer than 100,000 coal miners. There were 8 fatalites in 2016, down from a high of over 3,000 in 1907.
also from the bizjournals.com article comes this confusing sentence, which indicates NY state ranks in a tie (with NJ) for 4th in net outward migration.
In terms of percentages, New York ties with New Jersey at minus-0.9 percent in terms of net migration. It is closely followed by Connecticut, with minus-1 percent net migration, and Illinois and North Dakota tied for third with a minus-1.1 percent change in migration.
It is indeed another legislative stunt orchestrated by Chris/Mark (he uses both) Sevier. He's been doing it (and other nonsense) for years. Keep in mind that this is just a bill. It has no chance of passing either house and even if passed would be summarily vetoed by the (D) Governor. It's just another big "HEY, LOOK AT ME!!!"
Costs were not detailed on Friday. Tesla founder Elon Musk has previously quoted US$250 ($AU330) per kilowatt-hour "at the pack level" for 100-megawatt-hour-plus systems.
The proposed system would contain 129,000 kilowatt-hours of capacity, meaning the project's cost would start at around $42 million. The head of Tesla's battery division has quoted a cost of about $65 million in the past. Other experts say a system of that size is likely to cost somewhere between $60 and $120 million.
"The 100 megawatt lithium ion battery, which will harness power from a French-owned wind farm north of Adelaide, will store 129 megawatt hours of electricity, enough to power about 13,000 homes for 24 hours."
This comes out to usage of about.41 kW per household, not the 2kW cited in parent.
From https://www.billrepublic.com/a..., average usage in South Australia in 2014 was 5,145 kWh/year =.59 kW = about 27,300 homes for 8 hours at.59 kW usage. But average usage dropped about 12% from 2011 to 2014. A similar drop since 2014 would yield about 30,600 homes for 8 hours, not the 8000 referenced in parent.
"Then later in the article, they talk about an error of "20 or 30" beats per minute."
It's a bit weaselier than that. The article never suggests that the device is off by 20-30 bpm, but actually reads: "Calculating a heart rate that's off by 20 or 30 beats per minute can be dangerous - especially for people at high risk of heart disease."
So they first make a meaningless claim (that the device can be off by "up to 20" bpm) and follow it up with a non-sequitur about the danger of errors between 20 and 30 bpm.
I use one regularly to track my training, but certainly would not consider it to be a true medical device and would never rely on it for non-recreational uses. It also says I fall asleep every night after 0 minutes. I may be a good sleeper, but still,... 0? OTOH, it seems fairly accurate about recording footsteps. What a relief to stop counting them manually!
I'm an attorney, so I know a little bit about arrogance, but we're patzers compared with doctors. Many truly have, if not God, then Emperor complexes, with their wisdom received without question by their subjects.
But that's probably not the real reason they don't want patients to have access to their complete medical records. It's all about avoiding medical malpractice claims (and annoying phone calls from patients asking questions).

So blame the lawyers.
Excellent point. The "ridiculously broad patent" referred to in the summary is not a patent at all, but is the '521 application you describe.
A patent application is not a patent, even though it hopes to be some day.
