There's still meant to be a ceasefire btw.
But at least 414 Palestinians have been killed and 1,145 injured (that we know of) since that ceasefire went into effect, with Israel now physically occupying more than 50% of the Gaza Strip.

New Zealand’s privacy watchdog and Manage My Health were both warned of security issues with the Manage My Health platform six months before hackers would hold patients' private health data as ransom.

Funny how this Manage My Health debacle has been framed as not political, whereas literally *everything* that happens when the other lot’s in power is sheeted back to a minister. And with extreme prejudice.

A Washington Post article suggests that, beyond a certain threshold, larger homes don't make people happier. Instead, well-being is correlated with affordable housing in walkable neighborhoods where they feel socially connected.

![Excerpt reads: "Prioritize your neighborhood
Neighborhoods drive our happiness (or unhappiness) more than we think.
When Lina Martinez, director of POLIS, the Center for Wellbeing Studies at Universidad Icesi in Colombia, studied the happiness of households in the city of Cali, she couldn’t find much difference between poorer and richer areas. “Their happiness is pretty much the same,” she said. But that changed when she isolated neighborhood conditions, such as access to transit, health care and parks. “The conditions of the neighborhood affect happiness,” she said. “I can’t link that to the space where [people] live.”
That aligns with findings from a 2023 study of the Vancouver metro area: Researchers found no significant differences in well-being between people living in single detached homes, duplexes, townhouses, laneway houses and apartment buildings (basement units smaller than 300 square feet were the only negative exception). What did people say they missed most in their neighborhood? Affordability, proximity to family and friends, and a sense of community. Home design was eighth on the list."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ks3gpa6ftoyaq7hmf6c4qx4c/bafkreicapfknasylzk2lqzaxxeb5mchgnru75obggn45dusda6j5zogvuu@jpeg)

When an AV’s collision-avoidance priority causes it to brick in an intersection, which then creates chaos for other roadway users and an obstruction for emergency services, that is also not considered a safety concern for the AV.

But there are many components of safety. When an AV waits for its passenger in the bike lane, a cyclist swerves into traffic to avoid it, and the cyclist is struck by a human-driven car, that crash is not counted as an AV safety concern.

4) Safety beyond collisions
The AV industry has defined “safety” largely as collision avoidance, and as a result they are good at not running into things. Instead, they come to a stop when confused.
