Mallinckrodt may renege on $1.7 billion opioid settlement
  • This seems to be the norm. Liabilities get too high and the business rolls up into bankruptcy. Individuals have their wages garnished till their debt is repaid. I feel like there should be an onus on the board/executive team till the settlement is reach. But I don't really know what would be the most fair and scaleable to other instances of this.

  • Site to track Subreddit's as they go dark
  • I could actually see engagement staying relatively the same since most people are probably popping Reddit open for a few minutes, maybe engaging, then moving on.

    What I do find odd is how consistent Posts per minute are over time. But it doesn't dip or rise with comments. So now I'm wondering how automated a lot of posting is.

  • How Low Must Inflation Go?
  • Oof, pay wall, and I'm not paying the NYTimes again.

    While inflation is good for the economy because it pressures buyers to well buy, rather than horde capital. We have had a massive amount of inflation in the last 3 years, alongside businesses 'overcharging' which is making the average person feel inflation even harder. We should be working to lower inflation as much as possible for the next few quarters at least while moving the interest rate up. The trick is doing so without causing a recession. But the free money hose needs to be turned off since the only people getting soaked are those with capital already.

  • Site to track Subreddit's as they go dark
  • I'm curious if you directed the users of those subs to any particular alternative?

    I mean, apparently they are already bleeding money, but I doubt that these changes are going to do much to help in that regard.

  • 17 fatalities, 736 crashes: The shocking toll of Tesla’s Autopilot
  • I agree with you that we need more data. Right now the USA average car death's are 1.37 per 100 million miles driven.

    From what little Tesla has talked about the autopilot is below that average. BUT the raw data hasn't been released. We don't know how many miles have been driven on autopilot, we don't know the road conditions it was used in (assumingely autopilot would be used more often on freeways), and we don't know how the safety rating of the Tesla vehicle compares to others on the road (its possible Teslas are getting in more accidents but the car is keeping them safe, or vice versa).

    Too many unknowns. So while I dislike this article because it mostly comes off as hollow in my eyes, I do think that Tesla needs to make more of it's data public so users can make an informed choice.

  • Reddit experimenting with blocking mobile browsers
  • I had no idea that this was happening. But it makes sense with the decision they just made. I'm guessing they disabled X number of users on the mobile site that logged in, and tracked how many X users were converted to the Official Reddit App because of that.

    That way they can predict how many users they will lose to the API change (roughly) and made a business calculation that the lost users were worth it. I'd be astounded if they didn't also have a sorting for 'value' of users as well and weighted the calculation with how many high value vs low value users didn't convert.
