I was using the stats from the article for injuries, not deaths. I believe the quotes you provided used deaths intentionally because the probability of dying in a crash is so low. Injuries still matter (in my opinion).

I think the problem is that people don’t want to cram into a car with random strangers, especially with kids.

This is also a shocking claim to make without providing evidence.

That's not how probabilities work... The probability of being in a crash after N years would be 1 - 0.99^N. So after 100 years you only have a 63% chance of being in an accident. After 50 years, you have a 39% chance.

Let’s say there are 100 injuries for ever 100M miles driven. That’s 1 injury every 1M miles driven. Let’s say the average driver drives 10K miles per year. That means 1 in 100 drivers are injured every year. Not super likely, but not super

I agree that if the population grows, than GDP should also grow to account for that person. But nothing about our economic system says that the population must grow. Regarding Japan, GDP per capita was basically flat from the late 80s to th

How are our economic systems predicated on infinite growth? I see this “fact” parroted a lot, but always with very little detail. Japan didn’t grow economically for decades, and, as far as I can tell, continues to exist without collapsing.

The video did not do a good job convincing me that hedges promote biodiversity. I’ve seen more than a badger, rabbit, fox, and mouse on the streets of Berlin in a single night.

I’m taking paternity leave now and it’s so great and rewarding. As the article mentions, caring for a child is a skill that needs to be learned over multiple weeks. It also takes a while for a baby to be comfortable with a new caregiver. If

I’m just curious, why do you feel the need to bring up politics in this comment section? Are you trying to stop people from talking about parental leave? How is the choice of a single politician relevant here?

Wood results from captured carbon. Live trees are captured carbon, as is lumber. Dead trees decompose and release the stored carbon back into the atmosphere. Wood used for lumber, unless it’s some exotic wood from the Amazon, is usually sus

I use flexbox extensively, but almost never use grid. I haven't taken the time to learn it and the API is not clear enough to pick it up intuitively. I might use it if I could read some type of primer on the basic concepts.

I think you're being unfair to Reddit and others like it (thinking specifically of Discord). I run a product that has extensive community interaction, and Discord has been a life saver. There is no way we could have convinced people to

Just opened it on my iPhone. Seems a little buggy. At first the question text was really small. Then I scrolled a little and the question text became large. A scrolled a little again and the text kept flashing in and out.

That is a big ship! It looks like it's only going to do a short run between ports in Norway, but that seems like a serious commitment to a renewable future. Kudos to the team.

This is a common trope, and I used to believe it myself, but I now think the cause of voter apathy is a failure of the education system. Is the result of the popular vote for president known in some states? Definitely yes. But voting is abo

I'm surprised so many people care about this... No one is making you use this product. If you don't like the product decisions, go use something else. Many creators post their content on Instagram, Snapchat, and TikTok. Finally, y

Your analogy is wrong, even sarcastically. A correct version would be: I’ve been trying to convince people that power isn’t bad, even though some is generated with coal, because solar exists. And that version makes sense.

How would this one party overcome the partisan divide? Seems like wishful thinking. Is there any evidence of this strategy working somewhere?
