That was also my immediate thought. However, what was the chance that the method they did use would end up not working? If sufficiently low, from an EV perspective, perhaps they ma…

The article mentions your first point, and also gives some statistics that deaths to drivers are also up.

Or by developers

That helps with storage, but still is larger than a bigint, and doesn't help with the random distribution of data. I believe newer versions of MySQL have a data type for this.

HIV/AIDS is also bigger if you count that as a pandemic.

Lack of demand (population decline), or increase in supply.

Childless parents as a result of self aborting male fetuses would not show up in the study.

I think this can also be problematic. Long lived code _must_ work, which is good. However, it can also live a long time for bad reasons. I have seen long lived code that only lives…

Monthly actives is generally the primary metric and it's not so easy to calculate.

Any chance you can share the name of the company where you work now? Would love to know.

My guess is that's the same for cars (minor injuries go unreported). It's hard to speculate about unreported statistics. The fact remains that for reported statistics, motorists in…

I don't think the data supports your assertion. Car drivers injure and kill a couple orders of magnitude more pedestrians in NYC than cyclists do.

Development environment becomes somewhere between extremely hard and impossible to set up. Resign yourself to running tests locally with staging as the only place to test your serv…

Looking at the total dollar amount of debt makes a good headline, but is simplistic. With lower interest rates, households are spending far less to service their debt than they wer…
