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 situati…

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, reliab…

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.

Or as written by George Pólya in How To Solve It 1. See 2. Plan 3. Do 4. Check

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 yo…

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 affec…

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 hosp…

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…

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…

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) …

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 …

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…

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 dollar…

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…

It helps to be advised by one of the best people in healthcare too, Dr. Howard Zucker.

Non-sensationalized title: "iPhones have a bug where 'Uninstalled apps' are using a significant amount of data"

Just a warning as, speaking from experience, it happened unbeknownst to me. Congrats on the book btw!
