Agree 100%.

And 70% of those deaths are not considering "speeding-related"[1]. Focussing on speeding seems to ignore that there are other serious issues that contribute to the outsized danger …

Those things aren't really equivalent though. The percentage of pedestrian deaths in a collision at given speeds is starting from a 100% rate of incidence. So whilst it's predictab…

Sure, it's problem. But speeding-related fatalities accounted for 30% of traffic fatalities in the US for 2022. Which implies there are plenty of other issues, such that I think sa…

I'd argue that the main issue on US highways is a lack of discipline. US drivers get away with murder in terms of undertaking, tailgating, camping in fast lanes under the speed lim…

On your first point, that sounds like violence to me, sure. It's almost guaranteed to cause harm, and the club swinger probably knows that. On your second point, the likelihood tha…

Without devolving into a discussion of semantics too much, violence really does imply some intent to harm another person, or people. If I drive at ~200km/h on my way from Berlin to…

I agree say this is generally true in the United States, where driving discipline on highways is basically non-existent. Although I would stop short of calling it "extremely danger…

Sure, but I'm not sure "aggressively dangerous driving" is broadly equivalent to violence, or should be described as such. At any rate, I'm not attempting to say traffic fatalities…

Yeah, having driven long distances in all kinds of rental cars with speed limit information shown on the dashboard, the car "knows" the speed limit accurately about 50% of the time…

"Traffic violence" implies deliberate acts intended to cause harm, but I don't think that's what you're referring to.

What industry do you think Tom Ford was talking about?

Tom Ford commented on the issue of counterfeit and "knock off" products in the fashion industry, he said after some research (I assume by him/his company) they found that the peopl…

Import maps and type="module" are pretty good. I prefer to spend my time building against that instead of another bundler.

Given that it's a design newsletter, I have to say that the design of the daily lists is not very good... low information density and my eyes are darting around all over the page. …

I drive a twenty year old Volvo, and I went to a dealer to buy a new one a few months ago. I didn't buy anything because basic functions are all behind crappy screen UIs instead of…

Indeed it is a matter of opinion. Much like the cliché "the internet is the sum of all human knowledge". If you have deep specialist knowledge in a field that has existed for more …

I think "nearly every human" is a bit more hand wavy than the 60% statistic.

> used by nearly every human on earth Roughly 60% of earth's population used the internet in 2023. So not quite nearly every human .

Quite an aggressive response. I don't expect anything of the bible... it's just a silly old book that I never think about.

What I said is accurate. I'm aware of what the bible is comprised of. Your response is the usual "oh those bits are just old and silly". To say that my comment is "dishonest at bes…

The bible also encourages genocide, rape, slavery, misogyny and capital punishment. Perhaps it's wise not to listen.
