My (simple, naive, etc.) solution is to ban young males from driving until they're 25. Immediate drop in the accident rate plus a clamour for better public transport / bike infrastructure that even the dumbest government couldn't ignore.

(Yes, I know this is completely unworkable, sadly.)

Boy, have I got news for him about car drivers...

Yeah, I'm interested but I'll definitely give it a year or two for other people to discover any durability problems before committing (plus it's missing a lens option compared to the 18 Pro but that's a minor quibble.)

Gotta hold something back for next years magical update!

It does make me wonder if the era of foldable phones is finally here. Apple probably wouldn't bother making one if the tech wasn't there yet, despite the questionable experimentals others have been peddling for years now. Or it's a sign of Apple dropping their standards perhaps.

I guess the apple making Vision Pro shows that VR tech is here?

Apple isn't omnipotent, they have misses too.

Apple tv was a miss as well for like 4 generations.

I mean, their implementation was the best in the industry. The tech wasn't what held it back.

I would argue that the tech being top notch doesn’t mean it isn’t what’s holding it back.

The tech just isn’t there yet. Apple tends to wait until it is.

> The country has a population of 349,000,000 people. There will be crazy incidents.

By that logic, any country with a similar (or larger) population should have similar (or larger) gun deaths per capita as the USA, right?

Take India - population 4.3x but 15x fewer gun deaths per capita. Or Japan - 0.35x the population and 1500x fewer gdpc.

(Admittedly Brazil scuppers my counter-argument slightly - population is 0.6x but gdpc are 1.3x. Poverty and availability of guns seems to be the key rather than "random chance".)

Brazil has entire areas within the largest cities dominated by para-statal organizations that often are in shooting wars within themselves, with the government, or just decide to go on a terrorism spree against the civilian population.

"Details" matter:

> The prosecution accused him of lying in wait for the burglars and opening fire without warning from close range, in retribution for previous break-ins at his home.[13]

No warning shot.

He also llegally bought a semi-automatic pump shotgun, possibly with the explicit plan to kill the intruders (as he got robbed in the past).

He also shot at them while they were fleeing.

So, yeah, in this particular case the judge decided that what he did was not covered by the law.

Just to nitpick, there is no such thing as “semiautomatic pump shotgun”. It’s either semiautomatic, or a pump.

Where exactly is the imminent threat of deadly force in that example?

Unless that someone is a cop, of course.

The FoodNet thing, while bad, has a bit of nuance in the system was not meant to do outbreak detection, so likely wouldn't have helped here.

But it does cripple our ability to ask if this was a one-off, or if we're seeing long term trends that should be worrisome.

It would have made identifying the source trivial. Instead we had waves of confused and confusing reports.

To be fair, if I'm reading that right, the difference is "a small light patch on the middle spike"?[0] I can see people missing that easily enough!

It means that they used a photo with unclear provenance, or they didn’t check the provenance. For issuing a stamp, you don’t just take a random photo of the statue and eyeball it and say “looks close enough to me”.

No.

Yeah, Go people were always been perfectly capable of creating abominational messes before generics arrived. Once you've looked at an interface referencing an interface referencing an interface referencing an interface which is only ever instantiated by one (1) type, you realise that all hope has been lost and your only recourse is blatant sarcasm, pointed replies on Slack[0] and PRs, and finding the perpetrators after dark with a big sack of flour.

A poster child for this is k8s.

Famously created by Java people, not "Go people".

Yes. It's a textbook case of trying to force your favorite language in rather than embrace the idiomatic use of the language.
