    You are ignoring Tesla's own claims.

    "Full Self-Driving Hardware on All Cars. All Tesla vehicles produced in our factory, including Model 3, have the hardware needed for full self-driving capability at a safety level substantially greater than that of a human driver"

    See? Claim as understood by normal reasonable person is that the thing is superior to humans in driving a car.

    Oh? that's not true? they lied and exaggerated with marketing hype? Oh noes!

    haha, your voicemail doesn't kick in after 4 rings? most people's would. if you don't have it, get it so you don't have to worry.

    speaking of etiquette, it used to be person physically present gets priority over a ringing phone. Now people think it's okay to hold up a hand and answer the phone. I walk away then, fine if person calling is more important than me, but the importance of the person doing that to me gets dropped 80%.

    if auotpilots aren't advanced enough to sense road boundaries, center lane line, parking spot markers (which this road had), then they aren't advanced enough to drive a car

  12. not saying there is alternative, my point only that this type of gene therapy is at that early stage where unknown if it will even benefit a human at all for any disease for which it is in testing. The headline makes it sound like there is a magic cure with hordes of dying people being pushed away by FDA bureaucrats, which is nonsense.

    false, nazis were corporate fascists. hilarious the people that only believed what came out of Hitler's mouth compared to what he and the Nazis actually did. No, they were not socialists, if you believe their label you're as dumb as a typical american consumer.

  18. eh, "medicinal" only means healing. The mechanism and protocol could be anything.

    It is unknown at this point if CRISPR use can heal *anything* in humans.

    we're far, far from what the headlines imply. I see silliness that are variation on "Governments not keeping up with the wonderful power of CRISPR" . Oh noes, this live-saving tech is only restrained by powerwork!

    er no, there is no treatment for humans using CRISPR sequence. no known benefit. no healing of any disease.....only clinical trials exist and the results not published yet. nor peer reviewed,

  19. as society we've already made the choice that doctors, medicines and treatments will be vetted. so no, the patient doesn't get to support a quack (legally). yes there are shortcomings and abuses in the system, different topic

  20. yeah but it can take 80 years or more to die for most in the USA

    meanwhile, going to clinical trial instead of normal treatments for deadly cancer will shorten your life even more in most cases.

    That usage have been common for centuries; in other news, the word "jack" has 34 meanings. Jack jacked while jacking his car with the other hand, his jacked earphone jack only playing sound to one ear.

  22. I knew several people that were diseased and desperate, and so participated in clinical trials for deadly ailments over the decades. Guess what happened to 100% of them?

    CRISPR may not be a breakthrough at all for humans

    no you have improper understanding.

    Medicinal use of CRISPR sequences is in clinical trial stage only, in China and USA.

    It is not a proven or approved treatment anywhere on planet earth, nor will it be for a very long time

    Having the FDA raise the proper questions is not "dimissing". You seem to imagine they're holding up a line of dying patients
