  • We must read very different sources. For example, I’ve seen plenty of articles and videos just this week for Samsung’s 1,000 km EV battery with its 20 year life span, and 9-minute charging. If you consider those combined features incremental, then I can see why you’re frustrated. It’s already in production, and has been delivered to "customers. Samsung are even gearing up for out-sourced mass manufacturing. That’s well beyond some theoretical lab experiment that has no chance of seeing the light of day.

    I don’t disagree with you about the 99% over-hype being a PITA. But to adamantly state you’re seeing nothing reported on, while admitting you “could’ve just missed them” doesn’t sound convincing. Besides, it only takes a single article for you to be wrong about it being “never.”


  • I have never said or intended to imply that there were no advances made in the last 20 or 30 years.

    This would be great news if it was commercialy viable, but it isn’t. It NEVER is.

    That’s pretty definite by any measure.

    But I get it. 99% of the announcements go nowhere. And it’s worse if an announcement is just hype or hyperbole. However, in science we have to do the 99% to find the 1% of true advancements.

    So of if your point is just that you don’t like the hyperbole, then using hyperbole yourself is not doing yourself any favour. Of course people are going to be more measured and realistic in reply to your blatant over-statements and denials.



  • They’re separate arguments from your original claim that RvW is not life threatening.

    And while risk of death is fortunately relatively low in the US, it’s only one of the many negative consequences of the repeal.

    Many women survive the birth only to be inflicted with any one of a range of physical medical issues, including life long disability and chronic pain.

    There’s also deep mental issues that arise.

    Likewise, there are the potential negative health concerns for the baby to consider.

    On top of that, there’s all the many socio-economic problems.

    I’m not saying there are easy answers to all this, but I’m not minimizing the issues either.
