but train tracks is not that kind of edge case, tbh, it's so vanishingly situational

Guess what: Musk will probably get this rewuirement scrapped by his orange mate. https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/trump-...

France seems to have the most, out of the European countries I have spent time in. But it's not like the US

what was your response?

This is too glib. Some organisations do a a lot better than others, have better culture, responsiveness to evidence, and management.

Quality control is a LOT lower in China than in the US, and that's even considering the US's bias towards industry in its legislation. This is why chinese electronics catch fire a …

You misunderstand the utility of masks, where it is significantly more an infected wearer of the mask who protects others by their wearing. So, being infections before you have sym…

Except the experts are mostly objective. However, the waters have been muddied in the public's view by anti-maskers, like anti-vaxxers. This is a real catastrophe of the pandemic.

You are using a perfection fallacy, or black-and-white thinking here. That a significant number of ordinary peopple do not mask well or do not have / know of the correct mask to us…

Thank you, I hadn't seen this yet, and it's a legitiately well-researched piece by medical scientists with methodological expertise and communicative clarity, which is not always t…

Your comment is amusing and biting! Sadly, with and irony are not particularly valued on HN. Direct clear expressions are preferable for the expected neurotypes of this pseudo-comm…

Please note: 1. surgical masks are pretty ineffective, but N95 and better masks are very effective, subject to proper use and quality control 2. Mask research and experience pre-CO…

Your comment does read like 'My grandma has smoked 20 a day all her life and she's still alive at 90'. statistics do not preclude people from being luckier or unluckier than the av…

you could update the wiki too!

This is a poor analogy, because there is no coparable access to build other app stores, as this is not the same kind of ecosystem for a market.

Clearly you're not aware of the classic cross-ply tyre which is what classic cars used before radials became standard. These are car tyres, and while I'm sorry somebody crashed int…

This stuff's been around a while. I remmeber a decade back, a happy friendly idiosyncratic engineer in a warehouse in SF I know very well, who showed me gleefully all the objects h…

This looks like what the classic russian bots do nowadays

This review is as flawed as other roc lreviews, by making incorrect claims and merely asserting that oterh bands have better music, without any deal analysis, except for moaning ab…

This famous edict: Don't Talk to Police, now seems to include calling 911. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-7o9xYp7eE

These are countries with much higher mortality rates already because many of their health systems are not even close to as well-funded and available as a European one. So, many few…

I think there's one other aspect here that needs to be considered, which is what happens when undocumented features appear, as with the Polkadot fiasco, among others, where bugs in…

Does this take into account the fact that before hygiene, germ theory and the beginning of the C20th, most infants died early? Dying of these pathogens as an infant is a reliable w…

WavesNX may have been a good idea, but it's badly-made, fights with drivers, resulting it being in an actively-antagonistic piece of Dell bloatware, unfortunately.

Anyone have a nice primer to read to help nonspecialists understand what you are talking about in this thread here?
