Scientists question accuracy of HbA1c testing due to red blood cell age variability [diabetes.co.uk]
Turns out red blood cells in healthy individuals live longer, giving them more time to accumulate sugar, thus leading to a higher HbA1c.
@larand This too. If public transportation is effectively replaced with a fleet of self-driving cars, how many people are actually going to want to own a car?

@c I'll look at this when I'm in the market for a new car…in 10-15 years.

@larand For a fixed-purpose vehicle (going to/from specific locations), an electric vehicle might be the right answer. Most people can't afford to buy a fixed-purpose vehicle.

@joeo10 when I can charge my car battery as quickly and as conveniently as I can fill up my gas tank today, then I'll consider moving to an electric car. Given the experience Adam Curry had recently [noagendaplayer.com], I'd say we're a long, long way from that reality.

That moment when you realize you probably should put a new evaluation license on your home firewall before it expires…in hours. ?
@larand I wouldn't dream of an electric vehicle at this point in time. Hybrids make some sense, at least, but as with everything, depends on your use case.
@larand I assume how often you replace the battery will depend on how much you drive your car. One of the taxi drivers told me in 500,000 kilometers (this was in Vancouver), he replaced the battery once and it was about to need it again.
Seeing as how mine is almost two years old and has just over 10,000 miles on it, I'm thinking I might be ok on the battery for quite a while. :P
