While I'm sure the US probably does have some bad rates. (pedestrian deaths, etc. makes sense we're bad at) I'm unsure this really corrects for the other factors.

How does this correct for average mileage spent in cars per per country? Seems like mostly a function of population density and wealth?

ie maybe the US has low pop density and high wealth, so unlike the highlighted Japan/France (who have great public transit / rail), we can't justify it as much but people can still afford to use cars constantly.

Judging based on traffic aggression, it would seem America is actually on the more chill side compared to what I've driven in across the world.

I think their recommendations to change urban spaces to make them safer make sense though, so no argument there. More just wondering if maybe our car culture is kind of baked-in to our material conditions.

You can have your antibodies tested. If you had the vaccine, you will only have spike antibodies. If you had the disease, you will have other ones as well.
I'm following up a bit late but I wasn't referring to communism or nation-sized communities. I was referring to societies that tend to value community (ranging from brazil to china - look for countries where it's normal for aging parents to live with their children).

These societies tend to keep those communities smaller - immediate family plus some closer relatives and family friends. Then there are broader networks with shallower ties where business is favoured but money will usually change hands.
Ok, I understand Elon wanting to reduce the staff and focus on engineering on some level. I don’t agree with his decisions, but I can of understand the motivation on some level. He wants to focus on a few very important things and discard everything else.

What I don’t understand is: Don’t you want your people to be able to focus on their jobs and not deal with nonsense like this?

This is why you have good HR people. This is why you have a good communications department.

How does he expect to recruit talented people when it looks like a shit-show from the outside?

I don’t know the typical demographic of Ars Technica readers, but there’s not a lot of people on the comment board rushing to defend him.

The Elon fans I know seem to hold out that he may pull something out of his back pocket, but they also seem to qualify it with being disappointed with his current performance.

To be honest, I would love to hear someone tell me why I am completely wrong in my assessment. What do you think I’m missing?

I think you may be confused because you decided to rely on this loose concept of "semi-decentralization". IRC providers may use multiple servers, but that doesn't mean decentralization. They are closed networks, not very different from any sufficiently big internet business that runs multiple servers behind a load-balancer.

I got vaccinated and boosted once, and basically stopped being safe after that, because there was no longer a necessity to for my specific situation. I closely interacted with people I found out were covid positive for about an hour at a time and never got infected, even testing negative on a PCR. My girlfriend and I sat next to a family member for a family wedding rehearsal, and she caught it from him. I took her to the hospital for what we thought was strep (because that family member did not tell anyone they had covid until after the wedding because they took the conservative opinion that it wasn't an issue). After we found out it was covid I scheduled a PCR.
Kind of true, if we ignore all the code that is in production and no one is going to rewrite for C++20 ways of coding.

"The act or practice of grossly misleading someone especially for one's own advantage."

This is a very sloppy definition based on how the term "gaslighting" has been recently (ab)used, but it's not the right meaning. Gaslighting refers to the very specific mechanism of deceiving someone into believing that their perception or beliefs are wrong, and thus convincing them that they shouldn't trust their own judgment.

It does NOT refer simply to any notion of misleading or deception, though that's how it's been used in recent years.

Unfortunately every time I hear this sort of thing be suggested there is a rallying cry from the original mastodon crowd to block said thing. It's really unfortunate and why I don't see mastdodon as a truly viable alternative to twitter. Perhaps if a fork of it gains enough influence that isn't hostile to algorithms and indexing it would work better.
It's much more ergonomic and compact to use as an end user than a dedicated header, IMO.
For what its worth, this is the first time I've had such an issue with stability on Android going back to a Moto X 2014, my first Android phone.
> There are people who've only caught covid once? Everybody I know's had it multiple times.

Weird, everybody I know has had it one or zero times.
I’m max vaxed and have entered this age cohort since covid. I decided that there is less risk from a portion of the virus (vaccine) than the whole, replicating virus (infection). But then, I get flu shots as I would like to minimize the time I spend down from the flu. YMMV.

However, given the risk profile, I suggest thinking hard whether your health is more important than your world view. I guess I’m just a wuss, but I like sitting and watching the sun come up with my morning coffee…
Elon claims Apple has threatened to deplatform Twitter
So far us guinea pigs seem to be pretty safe from vague concerns around, say, GMOs. I'm pretty open to specific concerns about lab-grown meat, but until then I'm happy to take calculated risks on many things in life.
"Tell me where in any dictionary does “introducing” something imply who created it"

I just did, then you moved the goalposts.
I think the Post's headline would've been more accurate with the word "recent". From the article:

"While older Americans have consistently been the worst hit during the crisis, as evident in the scores of early nursing home deaths, that trend has become more pronounced. Today, nearly 9 in 10 covid deaths are in people 65 or older — the highest rate ever, according to a Washington Post analysis of CDC data."
For the old. For the not-old, it was a lot like the common flu, and for the very young, it was much milder. For nursing home residents (the old who are pretty bad off) it was like a coin-flip death sentence.

Getting the FAANG VP is usually critical to landing the next round of funding. If sending $500K/year [1] out the door brings in $50M for your next round of funding, it's well worth it. Particularly if you recognize that your enterprise is a Ponzi scheme [2] and that getting that next round of investors is how everyone gets paid.

[1] seems ridiculously low BTW, that's a line manager or extremely skilled software engineer at a FAANG, VPs make multiple millions per year.

Is that the "Walmart model"? Out of curiosity, I just checked their financial statements. For FY 2022, they had a gross profit margin of 25.1%. In comparison, for FY 1986 (the oldest year I have easy access to), they had a gross profit margin of 25.9%. That hardly seems to fit the pattern.
>So many people are refusing vaccinations that we will never see the end of this disease.

I'm not the one making you wear a mask, you are. it's your choice to make yourself miserable and stupid looking. I can't believe there are still people like this, three years on. just get over it .. you're like those japanese soldiers who didn't know the war was over.
That would require even more land since a given amount of land can grow fewer calories of grass than soy.
Whatever "Apple's" feelings (really, the executive team's; a corporation does not have feelings) about it, Apple is the entity that made the change.

And it is a weird kind of "force" they face. Apple, over the course of decades, has willingly made a huge investment in a state with an authoritarian government in order to pursue their goals. They did this knowing full-well that China's suppression apparatus would take great interest in Apple's pocket bugs, and that China shows little hesitation about using their leverage. Apple knew they would be asked to make these sorts of concessions. There's no chance they didn't think this over.

So when people say they "Apple doesn't have a choice", what they mean is Apple made the choice some time back.

Air moves all over the place. On almost the lowest setting, Mila filters ALL of the air in my condo several times an hour. If you have a larger house, get more Mila's.
I would like to see a lot more masking in general. In asian societies it has long been normal to see people masked up in public, not sure why we can't have that in the west other than a culture of extreme individualism. Why can't people who come to work sick just wear a mask? I kind of enjoy wearing the mask though so a bit biased. Just feels pretty rude to knowingly expose other people when you are/might be sick.
Chili oil is like setting a 15 minute timer for me. Ten minutes in, my gut starts making terrible noise, and five minutes later, there's no chili oil in my system anymore.

Tastes delicious! But I learned a long time ago that it's an ingredient I need to avoid whenever I'm eating while on the run. Err, on the go.

On the flip side, I never understood the "coffee makes you poop" meme, but it's apparently a similar biological reality for a lot of people.

China? Seriously though, you might better to look for places where you can interact with others mainly outdoors. e.g. we often socialise at the beach, outdoor seating at restaurants/cafes.
I read this theory in The Mom Gene but I'm not sure where it sourced from.
Looks like something bootstrap/tailwind based.
But it is a prelude and a warm-up exercise.

No one - well, hardly anyone - jumps straight into deeply personal conversation with a stranger without it.
Is it even possible to do push notifications without relying on a centralized system (Google, Apple, or whoever)? Sounds like a very difficult problem to solve while preventing privacy leaks, spamming, DOS attacks and still being reliable and globally available. Who would pay for the infrastructure?

(Please, no 'blockchain will solve this' answers!)
> like flu/colds were prior to Covid; where it's an honor rule with no benefit of being honest and staying home when sick

no benefit, except for your own health? If you have the flu, Covid or any other serious infection, you should definitely stay at home and get some rest - not for others, but for yourself.
I only had it once, lost taste & smell last December, after a trip to Chicago's Thanksgiving parade. Seemed to come down with the flu two weeks later.

By January, I was back on my feet, and I think taste & smell were fully back by March.

I haven't had it since, and I really haven't been cautious. I was at the parade again last week.

They are getting better at not ripping the floats.

Was in Japan in late 2019 for a tourist trip with my wife -- I think that's as close to pushing our luck as we managed with COVID.

Managed to avoid it for years -- locking down initially, then slowly expanding our social bubble of trusted friends (not family). N95s when picking up to-go food from our favorite restaurants once they started reopening, while going to OB/GYN appointments, etc.

WFH was something I was already accustomed to, and working on the peripherals of public health government contracts, working on projects directly related to COVID surveillance and vaccination was quite humbling.

After hosting a vaccination pod in our living room in March 2021 (a pharmacist friend had J&J doses that were to be tossed by end-of-day -- and had multiple epipens on standby), and our social bubble also getting vaccinated, we collectively started to relax. After the Pfizer booster that fall, we at least felt better prepared should we get infected.

After a pregnancy of multiple OB/GYN visits, an emergency C-section, and a few business and leisure trips with airfare, we managed to remain unaffected as far as we could tell.

Then, after a short outing to a local bottle shop with some friends last week, we felt cold-like symptoms. After a few more days of worsening symptoms, and a couple at-home tests, there was the undeniable positive line for my wife and I. I had the brain fog and cough, she had complete loss of olfactory senses.

A week and change later, we're still waiting for that negative test to mark the end of our precautions. All symptoms but a few after effects are gone, and thankfully others in our group managed to avoid it, or were asymptomatic.

COVID is far from over, far from gone.

Much of society has deemed it endemic or irrelevant, and so for the masses, that'll be how it is until the next spooky variant, or similar virus exploits the lack of holistic societal changes that could still be employed.

I, for one, would have liked social distancing, masking when ill, innovative and sustainable packaging for to-go food from local establishments, and investments in public health infrastructure to remain.

I like this "no-code" approach to website building.

The lack of software support makes the Deck less 'hybrid' than the Switch in my opinion. Steam games aren't made to automatically detect if you're playing docked or portable, not allowing for easy configuration swaps when switching. So a Steam Deck will actually default to running games at 720p even when connected to a 4K display. Switching resolutions from 720p to 4K at the same graphical settings would be an awful experience when newer games cannot run at even 720p 60fps on the Deck. But when it's a game that could easily run at 1080p or higher that I want to dock for multiplayer, such as the Jackbox Party Pack games, it's annoying.

As strictly portable use, the Steam Deck is on the bigger and heavier side. Not enough that it's unusable, but enough that more often then not, I'd rather pick up my Switch to-go or just forgo bringing a gaming device altogether and just use my phone if there's nothing I feel like playing on Switch. Also I find d-pad controls on the Steam Deck very uncomfortable, for example trying to play Tetris Effect Connected on it, while I can play Tetris 99 for hours on my Switch fine.
> Considering the overwhelming evidence that it's not statistically an issue for the vast majority of otherwise healthy people

Don't be an overdebunker. We have no long term knowledge because covid hasn't existed over the long term. Its love of eating brains and what seems like an ability to stick around in the nervous system indefinitely for some people like herpes or chicken pox are worrying. Especially for people who seem to keep getting repeat infections.
understood :) thanks for the reply
Now we only need a hero who will run all 700 of them at once and post the results!
Hey HN moderators? Can you make an Elon specific forum or flag so we can decide whether to follow all this melodrama? There’s so many posts it makes it hard to catch things before they’re off the new pages. It’s still just a microblogging service…
I'm not convinced that it is a fact, though.
At the risk of being an Apple apologist, their manufacturing is effectively held hostage by China. Yes Apple is taking the "make more profit" choice, but the alternative is pretty devastating to the company. Long term, Apple needs to diversify their manufacturing footprint.

(Note that I still think Apple would adhere to the CCP's requests/laws just to be able to sell in China. China would ban Apple products if they believed Apple was not cooperative.)
Brings back memories of my first programming job, when my paycheck bounced - the company had a million-buck overdraft at Citi (or whatever they were called at the time - '69). For the next couple months, the founder paid me from his wife's checking account.
This has not been 'leaked', somebody wrote an opinion piece asserting it to be the case without any serious evidence.
I agree that the original meaning is more specific and it's a very useful one. But the role of this dictionary is to describe usage, and as you noted, usage on this one has definitely shifted over the last few years.

I doubt most native speakers who recognize and use this word are aware of the first, original meaning. So they're right to record it this way regardless of how we feel about losing that original sense of it.

https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/descriptive-vs...

You can disagree with this approach philosophically (but good luck lol), but it's the one this organization has chosen.
Am a doctor. Had a known-positive patient that I interacted with for maybe five minutes while wearing an N95. Developed symptoms five days later. I got it after three total doses of vaccine. Worse than a cold, not as bad as flu, but zero exercise tolerance for a while. Went back to work on day 6 after symptoms appeared (had not had fevers for 5 days, so was limited by how I felt rather than CDC recommendations).
OK, I read the whole article and never did it explain what is either racist or discriminatory about "monkeypox." Discriminatory would imply that one group is being treated differently because of race, sex, religion, etc.; it's very possible that some people are getting better medical treatment than others because of poverty or other factors, but it's bizarre to claim that has anything to do with the name monkeypox or that the situation would improve by calling it "mpox."
as you say, all customers should have some cash contribution.
But if you look at 'net cash', and not 'gross margin' as you seem to describe, then customers economics can take a totally different spin. As you net cash should also include cash costs such: CAC, financing costs (especially in fintech), some costs that are often in OPEX and should be in COGS (eg: Tailored developments), etc.
200% is illustrative for logic. it means 2x your net cash balance. I am sure you got the point :)
> There is no regime ever, that blocks free speech before it is voted into power.

But there is, we've seen it just recently! Take the US presidential elections in 2020: big media companies, bigtech all were favouring one political party and have successfully suppressed crucial damaging information against their side and baselessly labelled it as 'fake news', which helped the favoured party take power. It immediately proceeded by shutting down the media accounts of the defeated opponent.

The ongoing hate-campaign against musk that started after him buying twitter can absolutely be interpreted as a reaction to breaking the monopoly on the flow of information.
Bit of a sidenote but I heard that in China iOS has a setting to disallow an app from accessing the internet (either wifi, cellular or both). Why can't that feature make it to the the rest of the world?
Truth is valuable to some people producing content. Take Reuters, for example. They're not trying to be better at producing clickbait than MSNBC or Fox. Instead, they're trying to produce something much closer to the truth. That's all they have to draw people. If they lose their reputation for truth, all they have is left is losing an eyeball-attraction war against others who are better at it.
Generalizing, rules about P only exist when there is consensus about what is or is not P. So if you're unfortunate enough to be living through an era where literally everything is politicized, you can expect the definition of politics itself to be one of the key prizes in the debate.

Plato nailed it when he had Socrates say that 'not to philosophize is to philosophize.' The same is true of politics, as we've all discovered, to universal chagrin.
There is a simple explanation: mobile.

You can put a lot more on a desktop than on a mobile screen. In the Windows 95/98 era, the standard screen size was no less than 14 inches, now it is around 6 inches, and the mouse is a much more precise instrument than your fingers. On mobile, if your app becomes complex and you don't want tiny, hard to see, hard to reach targets, you have to hide things.

Now, modern desktop apps often mirror the mobile app, even though they have a lot more space available. It makes sense, not only developing two entirely different UI is much more expensive, but it also makes harder to transfer your experience from the mobile to desktop and vice versa.

There is no easy solution, and it looks like things are starting to settle a bit, maybe a few years from now, we will see a real common design language. The problem with right slide is not the hidden screen, it is that every app seems to have a different interpretation of what to do for that gesture, if they do anything at all. If every app does the same, it will be as "obvious" as right clicking to open a context menu today.
> Dentists in the US want to be paid like doctors.

There are not many poor US dentists.

Just a month or two ago here was someone talking about how, fresh out of dental school, they were able to secure a $4M loan to set up their practice.

I am in the midst of having some complex dental work done. In the US, I got three competing quotes. The lowest was $49K, the highest $57K.

I am getting it done in Mexico for $23K. With arguably better equipment used (all 'top shelf' implants, materials, etc.)
