Moving away from privately owned cars entirely seems to be the only way to eliminate the health impact of cars on people in a city.

I don't think there's any healthy level of private cars coexisting with humans in a city, without even considering the more immediate harms from crashes, etc.
Many urbanists simply want walkable neighborhoods to be _literally legal to build_ so that they can live and raise families without as much risk from cars, which are in a race to the bottom with guns as the number one killer of kids in the US. The bar almost could not be lower.

Edit:
You may also not be aware that your detached single family neighborhood is, on average, financially insolvent and can only survive with subsidies from continued sprawl or from denser inner cities.

You imply that people have the freedom to not move to the suburbs if they don't like them because "this is America", but don't seem to be aware that there is decades of policy at every level restricting people from doing exactly that.

This one, like the others, also includes other reports of the same issue in the comments.
Hope to see Google acknowledge this before too long.
Now I'm strongly considering cancelling based on the ongoing issue with Pixels failing to connect to emergency services.
This thread has multiple recent examples and the OOP is trying very hard to get the word out, but so far no acknowledgment from Google:

I'm torn because I'm a really big fan of the Pixel experience, but this seems like such a major issue and no one from Google seems to be willing to even acknowledge it.
I tell myself that surely _one_ of my Pixel devices would be able to make an emergency call at any given time...
Recently I tried out both an iPhone and a Galaxy and failed to make the adjustment to either one within their respective return windows.
There have been multiple reports of this issue this year, long after the issue caused by Microsoft Teams (and other similar apps) was patched in January, but as far as I've been able to find Google has not even acknowledged the issue publicly.
As a long time a Pixel user who is planning to get a 7 and the new Pixel Watch, I really hope someone from Google sees this and the company can at least acknowledge it.
So many complaints about monetization and pointing out how it's not a perfect just-like-the-movies lightsaber.
I enjoyed the video and thought it was awesome. With just a pinch of imagination I really was amazed at how close this is to my childhood fantasies.
Why would I expect content creators to work for free? And frankly I just can't believe the comments which come across as offended that it is a gas torch and not some magical new technology that has all the properties of movie lightsabers.
Then again, putting down others to make yourself feel better is a tale as old as time.
Hacker news - come here to find out all the reasons why you should be unimpressed by cool things.
Being able to demonstrate turning an idea into reality and talk about technical (and design) problems I encountered and how I solved them seemed to be much more interesting to interviewers than most of what I had done at my previous day jobs.
> These results suggest that APAP should be used with caution by women attempting to conceive. Given that cell division is fundamental to all development, further investigation is now warranted to substantiate these findings and to elucidate possible implications for other developmental processes, such as gonadal and brain differentiation.
