Sorry! Totally missed that! Indeed it seems more difficult.

An integer age of "0" at death means they died after birth but before age "1".
The vast majority of traditional currencies have lost nearly all of their value over time, including the US dollar.
The most common age of death in France, for both men and women, in 1930 was 0.
But note that in some cases, eg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tajik_alphabet#Samples point number 2 won't be accurate. I'm not the best reader of Tajik written in (Perso-)Arabic script, but I don't believe "ال" appears in the samples there. (It does appear in the word "ALphabet" in the opening paragraph!)
In particular, in the given hypothetical, one might predict a change in the dairy culture in Japan if suddenly the population was significantly more tolerant of lactose.
(I assume the usual example of lactose intolerant is chosen because it appears some people are otherwise religiously opposed to considering the relationship between culture and genetics.)
It appears that the median resident of the United States lives in a town or city of population 18,290 (as of the census date April 1, 2020).
As a quick sanity check, the Wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities_b... cuts off at population 100,000 and mentions that > The total 2020 enumerated population of all cities over 100,000 is 96,598,047, representing 29.14% of the United States population
It does appear to be the case that you can qualify for "affordable housing" in NYC if you make $180,000/year ... and have a family size of at least 3. (In fact, it goes up to $290,565/year with a family size of at least 8.) However, the category of income this represents is "middle income", one level above "moderate income" and two levels above "low income". Even with a family size of 8, "low income" caps out at $140,880/year. It appears that approximately half of new affordable housing targets "low income", and most of the remaining half for incomes lower still.
(The specific term "low-income subsidy" appears to mostly refer to the "Medicare Part D Extra Help Program" and cuts off below $35k/year.)

The Wikipedia info box summary is "Runway overrun caused by pilot error". And indeed, the pilots were going too fast with the flaps set wrong. At some point, they indeed faced a difficult decision, but one that was caused by their own, multiple previous errors. Having made that decision incorrectly, they also failed to stop the aircraft as well as they could. From your link:
> In the end, the NTSB identified two separate decisions by the captain which led to the accident: first, his decision not to go around immediately when the plane started to float, which was inconsistent with his training; and second, his decision to finally go around after it was already too late to do so. The float itself was caused by excessive airspeed on touchdown, in combination with an ill-timed gust of wind. In a later revision suggested by the Air Line Pilots Association, the NTSB also added the “non-availability of information about the aircraft’s go-around performance capabilities” as a contributing factor to the captain’s decision.
37 people died and the pilots kept their jobs. Truly amazing job security, much like this other example where the pilots almost killed 1000 people (but didn't in fact kill any): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34395221

In case anyone is curious, at worst prices have been falling on a month-to-month basis but essentially nowhere are they falling year-over-year: https://www.seattletimes.com/business/home-prices-slip-for-f... https://www.redfin.com/city/16163/WA/Seattle/housing-market
In case anyone is curious, this source does claim that "lap infants" are more likely to be injured than other passengers. But the article defines "lap infant" as anyone under 2 years old, regardless of whether they were in fact in someone's lap. (In particular, some of these "lap infants" fell from the cot!)
Potentially worth quoting as well: "Scalding burns from hot beverages or soups spilled over a child during hot meal service were the most commonly identified mechanism of injury".
Although there were certainly many "systems factors" that contributed to the incident, the followup treatment of the pilots is in fact remarkable. The Wikipedia summary of the incident is "near miss attributed to pilot error". This pilot error nearly killed a thousand people. The pilots failed to report the incident (even flying the return flight the next day) and thus overwrote the cockpit voice recorder for the flight.
And despite all that, the names of the pilots are not included in the NTSB's report and Wikipedia editors/moderators think they shouldn't be included in that article. Impressive job security.
The "foreign army that's been accused of war crimes" is the Israel Defense Forces. Jeffrey Goldberg appears to have written a book about some aspects of his time as a prison guard at Ktzi'ot Prison: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/139269.Prisoners
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Ontario
The population of southern Ontario is ~13.5 million people (roughly a third of Canada).
North Korea has a similar area (slightly larger), but approximately twice the population. South Korea also has a similar area (slightly smaller), but approximately twice the population of North Korea = four times the population of southern Ontario.
In particular, ~13.5 million more people live in South Korea (which has an area smaller than southern Ontario) than in the entirety of Canada.
The various articles and discussions about this issue have carefully avoided mentioning what precisely the "personal injury" lawsuits have been about that started the whole issue.
The law firm in question won a $20 million judgment because a club in NYC owned by MSG served alcohol to a person who later drove drunk. Here is their own advertisement of this case: https://www.dsslaw.com/case-results/20400000-million-drunk-d...
In general, they often sue restaurants and bars for serving alcohol (to impaired individuals): https://www.dsslaw.com/car-accident-attorney/drunk-driving-a...
But people forgot the reason why.
The law firm's previous personal injury lawsuits against MSG were because they served alcohol to someone who later drove drunk. Multiple lawsuits were successful, in one case getting $20 million.
In general they appear to represent drunk driving victims and associate with MADD.
> Democrats could advocate multi-trillion social programs

> the largest nationwide public investments in social
> a variety of social policy initiatives
> $1.9 trillion
> $2.3 trillion (which, when combined with the American Families Plan, amounted to $4 trillion in infrastructure spending)
> $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill
I thought this was such a bold argument that I must have misunderstood. Thanks for the clarification.
