Yes? Because trials would make the formulation less timely, and therefore less efficacious.
They've done this on the flu shot for YEARS.
Or are you implying that a reason for fast tracking must necessarily be nefarious?

I am not a fan of Jack and am an outspoken skeptic of Elon, but I agreed heartily with the contents of the texts.

on: Liquorice flourishes in salty soils of the dried-up Aral Sea
Yeah, people have died from licorice! I think you can have a few pieces a day without a problem. Just don't have a pack a day.
I love Dutch licorice, the less readable the label the better. I look for the stuff that is "zacht" & "zout" (salty and soft).

I'm surprised they don't use LiFePO4? Safer, vastly more charge cycles, and it's not like packaging is a big deal.

on: Crypto Winter, or Crypto Ice Age?
The settlement delay isn't there for technological reasons. People think they want instant! fast! until they lose their life savings because libertarian tech has no buffers.

It's the latter, right? I can wire USD hundreds of thousands from my bank for $25, and the transaction takes place within an hour or two.

The cries of racism really ring hollow when they're talking about actions of a government, not a people or a culture.

Sure. My most vivid memory of the 2003 protests was all the Bush fans in the crowd.

on: A Kernel Hacker Meets Fuchsia OS
Capability based operating systems require that your program possess something, like a handle, in order to do something privileged. Don't have the handle, can't do the thing. It's not about consulting ACLs or bitmasks or whatever.

As a European you are welcome by default. Look around; you are not a persecuted minority.

Tesla made a partnership with a battery company, too. They used Panasonic's batteries during their formative years. Why is Tesla beholden to different rules when scaling up?
