Followed by a person narrating the news with flashy graphics. I can't stand this sort of garbage, there's nothing new at all, it's just to sell an ad.

Also known as technocracy, but someone has to feed The Saurus I guess.
Okay, you win, that's a good point. Tbh "don't take conversations further into hell" sounds like an excellent additional guideline, even if it can be read between the lines.
Maybe.
This is so embarrassing, you'd think people so hard right would remember the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
Technology lols at their "numbers."
The driver's problem is he's in his own little bubble and was infuriated by bicyclists inconveniencing his drive (oh dear). I bet he'll tell people how scary NYC is, like commenter `goldenkey` above, and hopefully won't return to be so inconvenienced by kids on bicycles. His conundrum was 100% avoidable by not being a tool.
Anyway I hate selectively edited videos like that, making the driver look like some victim. It's Andy Ngo-quality material.
Of course the video's edited to only show the pissed of cyclists.
Having done a lot of this kind of riding, let me tell you what likely happened: The kids were riding as a group, acting stupid (running reds, popping wheelies, etc.). BMW driver either said something to them, or drove aggressively near the group. The group rides, surrounding his car to fuck with him a little. BMW driver hits his brakes rather than slow down, cyclist crashes into the SUV (this part is confirmed). Kids are livid, and the pedestrian camera rolls.
The alternative to that sequence is that these kids are beating the shit out of an SUV with their bicycles unprovoked. Not buying it.
This does not jive with my experience. Most companies aren't Google as you've described it, and in most cases the person on pager duty is the first human examining the incident.
> If there was a sleepless night
How about if they get woken up each night for an alarm that turns out to not be a big deal? That is the typical on-call experience, getting woken up for 15-30 minutes each night, cortisol from 0 to 100 in the 15 seconds it takes to get into Work Mode.
I guess that doesn't qualify as "sleepless" but between it and the general stress of not being able to turn the phone on silent, I'd call it "shit sleep." Nobody should be subject to it. How can you expect somebody to produce decent software in this condition?
If I'm reading this correctly, the expectation is that the on-call person doesn't sleep for a week, and that a single day off work is fair compensation.

As for "unacceptable situation", here's a bit more color from actual local EMS: https://old.reddit.com/r/LosAngeles/comments/kqlgqz/ambulanc...
> As a former paramedic now assigned to media relations, the first thing I taught my kids about the news? Never react to the headline. While COVID-19 has shaped many pre-hospital care policies, protocols and procedures across California (and beyond) over the past year - including in Los Angeles County, rest assured that the concept of "No ROSC = No Transport" is not in any way new to our region, or most others.

Anonymous HN comments lack a certain gravitas.
> Patients who are not to be transported to hospitals include those whose hearts have stopped and, despite efforts at resuscitation, have no signs of breathing, movement, a pulse or blood pressure and would be declared dead at the scene.
May want to proof-read this.
