Eh, wouldn't the extra weight just degrade the battery performance and maybe the ride handling? If you're considering a new bike, it's like (note these are made up, I have no idea about Zero motorcycles):
- Premium/unlocked Zero: 30k -- range 200km -- handling: excellent
- locked Zero: 25k -- range 150k -- handling: average
These are one physical bike but with two prices and characteristics, and can be judged accordingly. If your budget is 25k you price the locked Zero against other bikes in the same budget.
Maybe honesty would have been better, but at the beginning when nobody knew how bad the pandemic was going to be, I'm sure almost everybody would have stockpiled as many of the "better" masks as they could get their hands on.
I saw the same comment on a different thread today, so I decided to have a sceptical look at the summary and analysis link. From that link:
> Here is the pro-vaccine argument: “It isn’t the absolute number of deaths that should be compared as there are 20 times MORE people vaccinated over age 50 (where most deaths occur) than unvaccinated. The UK has a 95% vaccination rate for people over 50. The rate of deaths is much, much lower in the vaccinated population. The rate of death is the number who have died in a population (vaccinated or unvaccinated) relative to the size of the population, usually expressed as number per 100,000 people. With 20,000,000 vaccinated people over 50, the death rate is 3.2 (per 100,000 people), but for the 1,000,000 UNvaccinated people, the death rate is 32 (per 100,000 people) — ten times higher. In other words, the vaccine is 90% effective against death, consistent with what was found in the original clinical trials.” Of course, the chart also shows that people who are UNvaccinated are twice as likely to need overnight hospitalization than vaccinated people (4,033 vs 2,204), and thus this is one of the strongest justifications/reasons to get vaccinated.
I'm glad what appears to be an anti-vax article was actually showing both sides.
Almost every company in Switzerland that produces software has a bunch of eastern Europeans on the payroll, that either immigrated to the country or work remotely. But if the company started in Switzerland, or management and especially senior devs are based in Switzerland, I feel like that's good enough to apply the "Swiss quality" marketing because the Swiss _do_ have high standards and expected high quality of work produced.
It is sometimes hard (or impossible) to completely remove sugar, as some items contain natural sugars e.g. even natural yogurt without added sugar contains sugar from sucrose. There was a diet that gained popularity in my country that was the "5% sugar" diet. Here on the labels of items there is always the per 100g reference, so if the sugar is <=5 on that column, you're good to go. So it's easy to stick to and it's interesting what gets filtered from eating in this way.
The majority of the population was actually willing to do this, as it was a referendum that captured 50.3% of the vote. But it also had to capture a majority of the cantons in the country, which it did not do. And so the initiative failed.
There isn't an upside. Theoretically it means that certain investment vehicles must buy shares of your company. But they do so from the open market; not from offerings.
Otherwise, it's just a matter of prestige: the S&P lists are just the X largest (by stock value) profitable publicly traded companies.
The difference between S&P X00 and Nasdaq: S&P is just a list of publicly traded companies; it is not a stock exchange. Nasdaq is an actual stock exchange, like the NYSE.
