  • Taiwan blasts China after Zambia scraps RightsCon

  • If there's one use of blast in a headline you should not be blase about, it's in regards to strait politics.

  • "The truth is, we are not necessarily putting two strong companies together," Kodali added.

    That's putting it mildly.

  • Jensen says Nvidia now has 'zero percent' market share in China — says US export policy 'has already largely backfired'

    Jump

  • he only talks about Nvidia's direct sales to Chinese customers

    Right. There's totally no major evasion of these export restrictions going on. 😉

  • Mexico City is sinking so fast that the subsidence can be spotted from space

    Jump

  • All of the clay gets compressed which means the water can't drain into the ground anymore and the underground drainage canals get damaged. And then the city turns back into a fucking lake after it goes between drought and flooding because the only way to create a surface water reservoir is to turn the now sunken city back into a goddamn toxic and polluted lake/marsh. That or attempt to geoengineer it into a desert which also defeats the purpose of human habitation. Eventually "fixing" the problems will become more expensive than what they're worth for more development but nobody really knows where that inflection point lies for the valley of Mexico.

  • Build a metropolis on a lake. Article calls it an ancient lake. It's ancient in that it's an old lake but it certainly never dried up in ancient times. It's at best an age of exploration lake and in reality a modern lake. Or you could say it's an ancient lake that is temporarily a city and attempting to become a lake again no matter how much we try to stop it. Kind of like that Mitch Hedberg joke about how he used to do drugs.

  • Communism is when no food

    Jump

  • You wouldn't expect more (or less) primary causes if more secondary causes were reported in multifactorial deaths. I'd imagine the fact that in the US CMS adopted ICD-10 in 2015 and the rapid rise after would make that obvious enough. Unless you believe there's some pre-COVID etiology for malnutrition that explains the jump I'm not seeing.

  • Dunno. I'm a US nurse. I don't know how France does their death certificates. Wouldn't surprise me that they're more granular though.

  • Communism is when no food

    Jump

  • Be aware, very old people die from this as a secondary cause from a primary of Alzheimer's and other dementias. They just stop eating. It's a misleading statistic to use to identify poverty based malnutrition. It's a very common diagnosis in terminal patients. And the way US billing works, getting the most diagnosis codes recorded is important for reimbursement. It's likely the cause for this disparity.

    Edit: yeah 2015 is when ICD-10 adoption and cms billing changes went into play. And then the rate quadrupled. This is an artifact of the US's dumb private/public insurance model for end of life as more people gamed the system for reimbursement. The spread of billing practices over time.

  • What I like about bleach is it isn't a poison. It's reactive oh yeah, so concentrations directly into your esophagus and stomach is a big deal. But while your cupcakes may not taste good, phone might not be killing you with them. You could potentially eat a lot of bleach cupcakes with no ill effect if they've already oxidized all the other ingredients within them and created some chloramines that will be undelicious. Just depends on how strong your 1/3 a cup of bleach is.

  • Philippine officials say 2 Americans among suspected communist rebels killed in clash with troops

  • At least the AP offers the perspective that this is likely just state terrorism even if it's understated.

  • Apparently, you can't downvote if you have no comments/posts in your account

    Jump

  • It never pretended to be. It's a platform for broadcasting actions based on usernames not secure communications. Kinda cross purposes to think you can effectively do both. Why I liked that kbin was very upfront and let users see all engagement right from the post. It can provide a level of anonymity if you want (though community moderation resists this because strong anonymous protections just leads to abuse), but privacy for that persona isn't part of the plank.

  • Bill & Ted's air guitar riffs were mimed, as the actors didn't actually know how to play. The scenes were dubbed over by professional air guitarists in post production.
