Other article specified pneumonia was post intubation

He went to the hostpital for trouble breathing.

In the hospital he was intubated. He got pneumonia and then MRSA in his blood.

He's not, but he's the first one elected using ranked choice.

That was technically the primary. That's 1M registered Democrats - which you had to be to vote.

He won by 7k votes in a city of 8 million.

404,513 to 397,316.

I would've preferred Wiley but either her or Garcia would've made loads better as a mayor.

Problem is there was this constant barrage of news stories tilting the election in his favor: deliberate fearmongering about crime to pump up his popularity.

Such bullshit but it was definitely enough to swing 7k votes... if not 70k+.

I think this will finally be the phone I swap off of the pixel ...

Hmm, there’s nothing more specific on the “having trouble breathing”

Because it was almost certainly COVID but they didn't test for it, or didn't release it as a cause of death.

6 months of time is effectively 24 hours in a corporation that large.

It's not Google technically: it's alphabet. Which is why they phrased it like that.

You're missing the whole "growth starts to plateau so management looks for ways to cut costs"

And

"Product comparatively stable so it gets hired out to contractors who inevitably fuck it up because they're cheap and there was 0 knowledge transfer but it's too late you laid off the entire original team"

Yeah seems like we're just of different opinions there.

I firmly believe that American companies have excruciating detail on every single user, as well as most non-users. That's how they can do things like predict pregnancy before the rest of the family has been told...

And that was Target more than a decade ago.

And I also think, with ties to the Chinese govt

It's worth noting that ByteDance has a board that is 3/5ths American. The company has a communist committee like all Chinese megacorps.

China has blocked Youtube because it contained content around Free Tibet & Tienanmen Square. American Congress has decided to ban Tiktok because it might have content that China wants people to see (maybe). There is no credible reason why besides "No totally, trust me it's a problem".
