Yes, older ones don't have tracking or user agreements which give the car company the right to record audio of your teens having sex. But that's not a long-term solution.

The insurer pays for it by not having to cover the expense of treating the disease anymore. It's an incredibly expensive disease to manage as a chronic condition. People who have sickle cell are going to have to have budgeted money to cough up their yearly deductible in any case. (Skipping out on paying medical bills is also a possibility)

And yes, I agree that not everybody will get treatment quickly because of the high cost.

The pricing is higher than you're describing - about 2 million dollars, which is still cheaper than paying for ongiong treatment over the course of a person's life.

It's priced to be attractive to corporate-sponsored insurance plans, not for individuals to pay out of pocket.

They gave OpenAI 60 days notice before publishing so that they could add a new guardrail. That's surely what happened.

There is some history of limiting the reach of actual national government sponsored influence campaigns like this. It hasn't been perfect, but it hasn't been zero either.

It's not really protected though; companies you interact with are using it to target ads.

Tested New York Times, Bloomberg, Washington Post, and Nature, and they seemed to work (unlike the one built-in on Mastodon, which fails on all of those)

It however did not however strip all the tracking parameters - some of the stuff indicating that a link was shared by an Android user from the New York Times didn't get stripped off.

Eg: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/28/magazine/punk-museum-las-vegas.html?unlocked_article_code=1.CE0.8TqC.QzHPUSPMsy_W&smid=nytcore-android-share

kept the smid=nytcore-android-share

~~These things also all strip off the tokens which make gift links work~~

Edit looks like I was wrong on this

Those look cool but very expensive compared with most ebikes

I'm expecting US methane gas prices to rise to match the much higher global LNG price due to the large number of export terminals under construction.
