If it's so difficult to report crimes, wouldn't that mean that the crimes that are reported represent the most egregious, since the people who reported them overcame the difficulty in reporting to report the crimes? And, therefore, current policing strategy should -- indeed -- focus on the reported crimes while making it easier to report them?

Your response is logically inconsistent.

>Reported crime [...] should not form the basis of a policing strategy.

and:

>When police cease to act on reports of crime, people have no incentive to report crime.

Logically, then, reported crime should form the basis of a policing strategy, since it creates an incentive to report crime.

The optics are also really, really bad. I recall putting my bags through a scanner and walking through a metal detector when I visited Beijing in 2018. My first thought was “wow, must suck to live in a police state like this, can’t even take transit without being searched.”

Uber and Lyft shareholders rejoice?

Tracking the ownership of your Chrome extensions sounds exhausting, especially if you're someone who just wants to surf the damn web and are not some kind of super nerd.

Are the alternative app stores hosted on Apple servers? Serious question.

None of those controls are commonly located on a touch screen, which is the topic of the article.

Wouldn’t it be safer to require all cars to have voice controls? Then the driver doesn’t have to move their hand off the wheel at all.

But more than a pound heavier than the current 13” MacBook Air

People were stuck inside, didn’t have money and sex is free. US has been below replacement rate since 2008, one blip isn’t going to rescue us.

No, COVID-19 is not a type of flu. COVID-19 is caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, while the flu (influenza) is caused by different types of influenza viruses. Although both illnesses can cause respiratory symptoms such as fever, cough, and difficulty breathing, they are caused by distinct viruses with different genetic makeups and characteristics. Additionally, COVID-19 has been associated with more severe illness and a higher risk of complications compared to the flu in some cases.

Zoning restrictions on dense housing, car focussed sub/urban development, ignoring climate change, rampant low interest spending, and here we are. The middle class has no public infrastructure to fall back on. Transit is broken and not suitable for the aging population. Rents are rising faster than wages. Is it any wonder the birth rate is dropping?

It’s the first go-around for the jr devs who went to school during the pandemic :)
