   I think dang described it best here [1] It's not the lack of compassion, it's the lack of substance. And I suppose it strikes me as lacking compassion and/or humility to come and use HN as a platform to recycle the same obvio

   I think what bothers me is that the whole story gets dismissed by one idea: that this event doesn't matter, it's only the overall statistics that matter. That this event doesn't necessarily reflect a larger trend is not incor

    The trend I'm seeing is to immediately defend self-driving cars based on "but if you look at it statistically I'm willing to bet this is better than human drivers". It is as if HN users expect the news headline to be: &q

    I'm really shocked at the trend in comments here. Yes, we get it. Fatalities will happen sometimes, they are unavoidable sometimes, and what matters in the long run is if we can achieve a significant overall reduction in fatalities. Bu

    You would lose that bet. As another comment pointed out[1]: > The NHTSA reports a fatality rate of 1.25 deaths per 100 million miles[2], twenty five times the [4 million miles] Uber has driven. So they should have driven around 75 millio

    A lot of commenters here are mentioning that better education could help solve this problem. I agree. What if there were a new type of "teacher" who replaced or augmented regular mods on sites like Reddit? Universities strive to h

    Thanks for the links! They're really interesting. For long paths where you need very low latency, microwave is the way to go. This is why the finance industry uses it. But this article is about more consumer-level internet access, wh
