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 on US roads. [1] https://injuryfacts.ns

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 predictable, it's not necessarily probable. How many p

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 saying "speeding is violence" doesn't real

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 limit, not to mention driving vehicles that are in such st

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 that speeding will cause actual harm to another person is

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 dangerous".

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 and injuries aren't a problem.

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.

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 people buying the cheap counterfeit products weren

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

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 good old buttons. I would definitely pay an extra $1

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 than thirty years it can become quite obvious that

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

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

by chrstphrknwtn 2y ago
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 best" relies on cherry-picking the par

I'm tending to think that Figma components should not be maintained in a serious way... design artefacts should be ephemeral and I think it's less effort overall if designers reuse or create whatever they need when they need it. K

Awesome dude! Well, when I get into "the real world" I'll make sure to change my mind, especially if I'm making "you know, components..." I think by then these distinctions won't be "too subtle"

by chrstphrknwtn 2y ago
Because I'm not the one who introduced the distinction.
