On that wikipedia page you linked, the 7000 (or 10000 since 1994) deaths are from all combined sources. The vast majority of those seem to be from exposure to the elements (for instance hypothermia is one of the most common causes of death) or accidents. If you read the part of that page that talks about Border Agents' use of force, around 17 deaths are listed, with an additional 10 left disabled.
Your use of that source is a misunderstanding at best or dishonest at worst.

Building more road capacity to fix congestion never works. Ever. This is highway planning 101: more roads/lanes creates induced demand until travel times are exactly what they were before construction, and so you just spent a billion dollars to go nowhere.

For an illustrative example, look at what Houston did to the I-10: they thought like you did and decided to just build and build until the traffic went away. There’s a stretch of I-10 outside Houston that is now twenty-six lanes wide, and it didn’t work: within a few years of completion, travel times returned to what they were before the buildout. Exactly how many lanes do you think will fix the problem if 26 won’t?

(And even if it did, there’s no more room in Manhattan for more roads. There is no way to increase supply even if we wanted to.)
I wondered the same but never got the exact answer.

My understanding is that these are not "congestion fees", but "pollution fees". They are there to make air less unhealthy, not to make traffic more fluid.

When you go to an expensive you're not just paying for the meal. You're paying for the fact that they have to over provision so you can be seated quickly. You're paying for the fact that almost everybody who isn't high class will elect to go somewhere else.

Roads (nor rails, nor buses, nor sidewalks, nor any other bit of government infrastructure) should be a restaurant that charges $50 for a $20 meal because keeping the masses of poors out makes for a better customer experience for those left who can justify the cost.

I understand why NYC is doing this. NYC has other options. You can and most people do live there without a car. Other cities, cities where you can't live without a car without making massive sacrifices should not be implementing toll lanes and congestion pricing. Kicking the poors off the system so that people rich enough to justify the daily tolls can have a good experience. If the well off don't want to deal with gridlock on the streets and packed train cars below the streets during rush hour and aren't willing to travel early/late then then they should be willing to do what is necessary to improve the system as a whole.

A lot of that is Siberia and other places of extremely continental climate (very cold winters and very hot summers, some places very fragile (the tundra)), so area is deceptive. And even if it were not the case, I don’t see Russia of Mongolia or Kazakstan gearing up for super mass migration. At most they could provide resources for export.
I get what you mean... I'm a freelance and work mostly on location. Partially because getting people together and convincing/guiding technical people is a large aspect of my job - which is virtually impossible to do remotely.

I'm also actually pretty introvert, and could lock myself up for days or weeks without seeing anyone - but that's on my terms. When it's not and there's no clear light at the end of the tunnel, that simply wouldn't work for me. The niche I found currently offers a nice balance - but I have to push myself for the social interactions that are required for the thing I do.

I really love the method from The Clean Coder, where you make best/median/worst estimates for tasks and then add them up to a mean and standard deviation. This helps capture the truth of “we don’t know how long it’s going to take, but it’s likely between x and y”.

Where this still falls apart, for me, is knowing how many hours per day I’ll be able to spend on each project. I have multiple clients, and things come up. This method has gotten me very good at the budget aspect of project estimation, but the scheduling aspect still slips some (it’s rare that more hours in a day become available)
I've worked at places where the managers hem and haw over firing someone even going so far as to use passive-aggression to make them leave on their own. In environments like that, the cost of hiring the wrong person is huge. It could take a couple of quarters to shake the dead weight and the entire team suffers.

I've also worked with managers who have no problem being the hatchet man and it's great. They sniff out the losers, put them on a plan, and they're either out the door soon after or stick around to get fired.

I would rather managers teach each other to wield the hatchet than try to get seven steps ahead of a dud hire during the interview process. "Release early, release often."

The very next sentences give some context to the above quote:

>This caused a large number of vehicle deliveries to shift to the second quarter. At the end of the first quarter, approximately 10,600 vehicles were in transit to customers globally.

I'll be the first to admit I know fuck all about the financial stuff and how this normally works, but that seems like a reasonable explanation for the lower numbers. Especially since the 10k cars "in transit" is like 1/6th their total deliveries that quarter.

I'd be curious to see hard numbers on how many of those deliveries were shifted to Q2, but i'm guessing we won't get that info until after Q2 is done?
> In many US states, the frequent problem is that the agent who is showing you homes (and who you tend to think of as "your agent") is not actually your agent (with fiduciary duty to you), but a subagent of the seller (with fiduciary duty to them).

I swam competitively for 15 years, including 4 years of D1 swimming, but I come from a family of rowers.

The effect of limited breathing in swimming forced the body to adapt. One Thanksgiving, my father (a former international-level rower), my brother (a currently international-level rower), and I found our way into a pack of balloons. We wanted to see who could inflate the largest balloon off of a single breath. Once we had breathed our hardest, got out the measuring tape, and argued about the best way to measure it at length, we found that I had won.

My brother and my dad are both around 8 inches taller and 50 pounds more than myself — much bigger people. But they didn’t have to hold their breath for hours every day :)

Obviously this is a poor man’s proxy to a VO2MAX assessment, which I’m sure they would win. But lung volume is certainly one of a swimmer’s greatest assets.
Well first, the point of this type of open fact checking is you can always verify everything for yourself, so you don't need to trust my credentials.

There is huge variation in Dairy! French Milk (was) terrible, only UHT widely available, though fresh is now quite common. US milk is nothing like as good as British milk for freshness/flavour (though the latter is subjective).

US eggs are refrigerated, as salmonella is so prevalent. Not so in UK, where they are guaranteed salmonella free (nowadays 'thanks' to Edwina Curry)

And Cheese? Really - I'm fairly sure there is no equivalent of a nice ripe epoisses widely available in the US. Sure, cheap cheddar is just like Monterray Jack, but....

As a consumer, and Reader and Inbox user, I'd never buy a Google product (Pixel, Home, Fi, etc) I need to rely on in everyday life or use their cloud for hosting anything important. At this point I see all of their products as mayflies. They may be interesting and useful today, but tomorrow they'll be gone.

And even if they change their internal policies, I'm not sure I could be able to change my opinion on them.
It depends. I have multigig PostgreSQL DB on Orange Pi 2 and a consumer sandisk uSD, that I scrape hundreds of news articles to daily (incl. images), for several years. No issue, yet. Fsync and PostgreSQL checksumming enabled, of course.

The same goes for the other Orange Pi PC I have, where I write weather data in 5 minute intervals for several years. No issue either.

I have a very good power distribution (custom made cables, high quality 40A/5V power supply), which makes a big difference in reliability, overall.

My Raspberry Pi has uSD card issues every 3rd boot (probably gets into a read-only mode). I have to boot it multiple times to get the uSD card to work. It uses Rpi branded power adapter.

Also, for years (~7) I used a single 16G SD card for all my camcoder recordings. It has to had handled >1TB and it still works.

I really can't complain about any of my (u)SD cards. (I run a cluster of 11 boards and I had one uSD card failure over 3 years. And it was some cheap "Samsung" from aliexpress. Verified Sandisk A1 cards never failed me so far.)
Tesla had to pay back a $920 Million loan this past quarter, and these numbers suggest that Tesla probably lost money in Q1 (30% fewer deliveries).

So you're looking at a company that just lost, $1+ Billion in one quarter. Tesla had $3 Billion in cash about half-a-year ago, but that's a LOT of its warchest that just evaporated.

Tesla seems to have screwed itself over: the Model Y hype may be destroying the Model 3 demand. The Model 3 is a sedan, and sedans are selling very, very poorly in the USA (across the board: Ford and GM have eradicated their sedan lines). Tesla should have worked on and released the Y first into the lucrative SUV market... but I guess no one can blame them for failing to have a crystal ball.

The drop in demand is very worrying for sure. Tesla is supposed to be a growth company, and a 30% drop in deliveries is anything but growth.

FTA:

> Where there are few other choices, like reliable bus routes, congestion pricing risks burdening poorer drivers in particular. But that is a problem we’ve thought about before, too, Mr. Manville said, if we’re now willing to treat roads as we do other infrastructure. He pointed to “lifeline” utility services: subsidized rates for electricity and gas offered to users with fewer resources.

> “Fortunately, congestion pricing comes with its own built-in solution,” he said, “which is that it raises a ton of money.”

Congestion pricing policies can (and should) also include bonds to fund immediate construction of public transportation infrastructure, be it via bus or rail.
i think the post is more about how their competitor(copycat?) developed by an indie developer got acquired by a company and they still act like if nothing happened.

Cancer is the second biggest killer in the US. There is no cure for cancer, any cancer. We can treat it if caught early enough by cutting it out. That requires having health insurance in the first place. Almost half the people who get cancer die from it within 5 years and that number is only that good because we're really good at breast cancer. Not sure cancer is the yardstick you want to use as how "great" the US health system is. Even among cancer patients you see disparities in how the wealth survive versus the poor, basically wealthy people do better. We're rationed the same as Europe, we just ration differently and claim it's because of social darwinism.

For better experience I don't know if I can convince you -- the Kindle Oasis is just ridiculously ergonomic. I'm a voracious reader. Reading a paperback without breaking the spine is an annoyance that I'm glad to have put behind me. Reading a full-size hardcover is just not doable one-handed or lying on your side in bed. The front light is easy on the eyes at night and doesn't disturb other sleepers in your bed. I've tried to go back especially to re-read treasured classics, like Hitchiker's Guide, and just went ahead and bought the e-book version.

> I am a relatively strong man, throwing a book or two into my bag doesn't make a difference to me.

I've put a lot of work and streamlining into not carrying a bag at all. Carrying my kindle in my back pocket or jacket pocket is easy enough.
Similarly carrying a book depends on the book.

I'd suggest you read the actual study. It's way more nuanced and detailed than the 2 sentence summary I provided.
And no, I don't think it provides a 100% guarantee that running is safe but that's not what I'm expecting from a study. It's just one more data point in the ever growing body of evidence that active lifestyle is better than sedentary lifestyle.

The problem is not that you're being facetious, the problem is that if you insist on a single study proving something with a 100% certainty, we shouldn't be doing any science.
For example, I can find numerous holes in your supposedly perfect study design. It turns out that active runners have less joint issues indeed? How can you be sure that it's due to running and not due to increased exposure to sunlight?
Why aren't you testing different exercises? What if the benefits of running are solely due to improved cardiovascular performance but running specifically is actually bad on the joints bearing the heaviest load?
If you dig deep enough, we can go on and on.

Vue Bot Scenario Syntax
Amazon wants to launch thousands of satellites to provide internet access
>Pilots increase throttle as per non-normal checklist to reduce the risk of stalling due to unreliable airspeed. Pilots disable electric stabilizer trim, as per Boeing's advice, without trimming back to neutral trim. Pilots likely started to trim up with the manual trim wheels, but that's very slow, and gets harder as airspeed increases.

I can see that at extreme trim and high speed that it could be difficult to manually trim. What I don't see is how MCAS puts you into that situation. MCAS is supposed to be limited to 2.5 degrees (out of the ~17 degree range) change every 10 seconds. So if you identify a MCAS issue and hit the trim switch, you should still be in a relatively normal flying envelope. I find it hard to believe that manual trim is impossible then. It would have to be a monumental design flaw.

In the specific case of the Ethiopian flight, unless I'm mistaken they went through at least a couple cycles of MCAS -> Pilot Correction -> MCAS. Even if they timed their cutoff switch to the end of the MCAS cycle they should only be 2.5 degrees off where they wanted. I would be surprised if that position wouldn't be level flight let alone a situation where they can't manually trim.

I wonder if there is a second issue cropping up. The Lion Air crash saw a similar cycle of MCAS -> Pilot Correction -> MCAS that eventually stopped.
