That doesn't explain why people are surviving and/or missing _more_ (as a percent) in 2020 than in 2019.

~72% of murders are shootings [0], which makes the math on that pretty much impossible. Maybe the increase is all in wild shooting / firefights, while targeted and determined gun murders have stayed around the same level? [0] https:&#

I know a lot of people are bringing this discussion back to social media which certainly has a dramatic effect, but it's interesting that there's a concurrent flame war over here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?

To elaborate on what others have said re: retaliation, EU tariffs on goods are generally higher than those of the USA[0], so if anything this will just close the gap and make total tariffs paid more even. The USA in general has the lowest i

Subspecies definitions can be rather arbitrary in general, and don't fit well to a species with the technology of humans. 1000 years ago you probably could have said that indigenous subsaharan Africans and Americans are different subsp

Teslas cost more (after those tax-breaks and subsidies) in Norway than in California. You're lacing the conversation with a lot of value judgements, but those aren't particularly relevant to the question of whether the people of C

Disposable income seems like the more relevant number here, and in that California is higher ~(48k vs 38k USD, although numbers are a bit stale). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disposable_household_and_per_c...

Obvious innuendo aside, this evokes getting "cock-a-doodle-dooed" by my alerting / incident response software because it's blowing up somehow.

Right, actually building all those pages at once necessarily takes time. But on Netlify, most of my build time isn't actually used doing `next build`, it's the un-logged-to-user file transfer to their server / CDN cache inval

Like acoard said below, I think the recommendation there would be to use their hybrid cache / dynamic rendering option. You do lose a lot of the cool benefits of being fully static in that case though. In general, yes that kind of docu

As far as count of pages Vercel has a limit of 16000 and Netlify technically has no limit (AFAIK), although the build times will cost you eventually. You can work around this limit in a lot of cases while keeping things prerendered by putti

It _can_ prerender all of those combinations. Here is a directory I made with 1000+ pages, prerendered and hosted for free on netlify: https://www.givepuppylove.com/organizations/ . I've found that single digit th

Actually, he's talking about asset price inflation, which is isn't redefining the term at all. Inflation just means an increase in prices. Specific inflation measurements like CPI and PCE are the official economic indicators you&#

This is insightful. My speculative impression is that the phenomenon you describe does have an impact on the real economy and that the difference is primarily one of perception and information. People in the past were also at great risk of

You're right, housing inflation measurement != house-price inflation measurement. Not sure how much that distinction really affects the median person though, if housing (rent) inflation is under control. I suppose people with kids may

How then? Higher education and houses, sure, but car price inflation has been tame since the 90s, and equivalent electronics plummet in price over time. As far as I can tell entertainment has only gone up sharply in price where it's su

All the things you enumerated are included in the fed's calculation of CPI. Are you arguing their weightings are bad?

My understanding is that these are logistically different things. Public housing projects are state owned, whereas Section 8 refers to privately owned housing where rent is paid at least partly by government vouchers.

Huh I see Einstein and Feynman in the top few results. Again, if you just switch the term to start with "united states" there are literally zero black people in the top results so seems unlikely it's a conspiracy.

I think the poster's referring to the overrepresentation of black scientists in that result, implying political motivation. It's pretty clear that it's just an artifact of the collision with the common search term "afric

Since you are paying the seller immediately before they pay the agent, "the seller is paying" seems like a technicality. In theory, if you could remove the seller's obligation to pay that additional 3%, you could get up to a
