It's unfortunate we didn't get more facts from the interviewee on how exactly it's too late. The interview felt more like a complaint about politics and less about the dire situation of humanity.

Malthusian takes like this are incorrect. I'd like to see where you were informed how "more births are decidedly unhelpful."

Most car - pedestrian crashes in the USA never end up with the driver at fault. Not sure this will change when cars are autonomous.

The reason these people are homeless a lot of the times is because they lack housing. Drug usage and crime are a side-effect of this [1]. Denser housing -> Better (frequent, reliable) public transport -> more people use it -> More

Unfortunately, in the U.S. this is not true.

The ebikes aren't dangerous, the cars that hit them are. I think that's an important distinction.

Category Theory really helped me in building a framework for finding similarities in problems. Which, after all, is the basis for creativity in general. Can’t solve a problem if you don’t know what questions to ask in the first place.

And the same can’t be true for making percentages seem small and insignificant? What exactly are you trying to prove?

This is not a 1 in a million event. There are studies like my comment above that back this statement whole heartedly. This is a virus with proven neuroinvasive potential that affects large swaths of otherwise incredibly healthy people. You

Do you only care about people if an event is statistically significant?

This isn't some small percentage of people this is 3 - 8% [1] of people hospitalized! Despite not finding data for people not hospitalized many report suffering from and being hospitalized for failures of the pulmonary, endocrine, and

No. People (extraordinarily healthy people) are suffering pulmonary embolisms (and thus hospitalized) weeks after they have been cleared from the virus. There is a very, very, very long tail to this disease outside of the initial 2 - 4 week

I totally forgot polls existed on HN. Wow. Edit: It’s amazing what you forget after 10 years on a website.

Raz isn't a reason why the police exist. Raz is a product of a system where the police exist too much, which if given the proper social and educational services earlier in his life, his character and personality disorder exemplified he

My understanding of containment is that it is only effective when testing and tracing are radically pursued. There just are not enough resources at the state level (at this point) to do this with the effectiveness China has managed to do it

I agree. I don't like having underlying health conditions listed as a statistic. I think it leads to people thinking "oh it only really affects people who are sick" and then those people go about their day as usual and spread

We have a well-funded state university system paid for by tax dollars which provides these labs with competent, well-educated employees. But yes, these labs are not directly funded by state dollars.

No - sorry for the confusion. 18-49 year olds represent 53% of all confirmed COVID-19 cases in the state of New York.

Nope most are private labs! But what do you think drew these labs to New York? Possibly a well-educated populace driven by a successful state university system funded by tax dollars? You better believe it!

Here is the very informative briefing Cuomo gave today [1]. Quick facts for the state of New York: 1. ~15,000 cases of confirmed COVID-19 2. 114 individuals have died from COVID-19 a. 70% of deaths were ages 70 and over and "majo

I will say that people get hell-banned for seemingly self-promoting on HN. Might be good to mix up your submissions with other articles you find interesting, so it doesn't appear as though you are only posting your own writings.

The point of the article was if the person didn't lose their "perfect job" they would never have forced themselves to look for other, better, and more enjoyable opportunities.
