  1. > The FDA reports that Freestyle injured over 700 people and killed seven people with this bug. Spcifically, the bug caused the device to falsely report an extremely low glucose level. Advanced stage diabetics use low reading information to inform them that they may have too much insulin currently. The usual remedy is to eat something sugary to raise glucose in the blood. Such should be done only with great care, as a false low reading can harm and even kill the patient (who eats a high-sugar-content item while glucose in the blood is, in fact, not low)

    I bet almost everyone with a device with that bug was injured more or less, because high blood sugar is a silent damager of many organs resulting in cumulative damage without overt short term symptoms of injury. For example, slow damage to eyesight, kidneys and nerves in the feet.

  2. OneNote had this for a long time.
  3. Tax revenue.

    Bet you won't accuse him of the same thing as you do Musk, just like the media and everyone else. Hypocrisy at its finest.

  6. > ask you once again, why would I lose anything if Tesla was in the UAE?

    Tesla employs 120,000 people in the US, not to mention all the federal, state, local, SS and Medicare taxes paid. Tesla employees, especially early ones, also had their stock options grow huge, building US wealth and increasing taxes owed and paid.

  7. > H-1B visa holders are REQUIRED to leave the country to renew their visas every few years

    This part is not exactly true. You can renew H1B indefinitely within the USA(every 3 years, need a pending Green card application from the 2nd extension onwards i.e after 6 years). However, if you leave the US for any reason you won't be able to re-enter the USA without a renewed visa stamp from a US embassy. The two exceptions are that you can visit Canada or Mexico for less than 30 days without triggering the visa stamp requirement.

  8. A quarter of all the billion dollar+ US startups had founders who were on student/work visas at some point. If you include founders who are born of work immigrant parents that number will only go up.

    Just imagine all the technology, jobs and wealth created by just SpaceX, Google, Tesla alone.
