yes, I am lying for political reasons. my tendentious interpretation of a contentious research paper on shortform video watching is directly relevant here. you got me.

surely more people take public transit in a world where nobody needs to own a car

the cars quite often pick up people near where they drop others off. i would estimate that when i see them, around 3/4 have someone in them. they also surely remove parked cars from the street compared to Ubers, as they park at a remote depot.

I think in part in say, calculators, the benefit of a positive reputation accrues, and the outperformance comes more from a capital-like store of excellent choices than an operations-based continued performance

enshittification is when software changes

calculators did end up with a moat though, no? HP owned financial calculators (good ergonomics, RPN) while TI got a lock on the graphing and education markets…

Lead paint was also popular in the 1950s, in part because people didn't understand it as well. Their opinions have in part changed with new evidence.

firefighters are cops too.

hugely overpaid compared to EMTs even as they do EMT work all day, lobby extremely hard for wider streets for fire trucks, which plausibly causes more pedestrian fatalities than the department saves.

america loves the idea of a himbo saving people and it's killing us

look i published before the tylenol issue got politically polarized the key thing about it is that it literally does not work on pain except for acute tissue injury, post-operative, and mild headache, while tons of people die of overdose every year. it's not an autism thing.
