Fellow sportbike rider (late model R6) - Thank you for sharing that article, even I was surprised to see such a low incidence of fractures.
I was curious what the corresponding data would be for brain injuries, and found the below, which is also surprisingly low.
Musculoskeletal injuries represented the vast majority (88.43%) of the 191 encounters registered in the acute setting, while concussions were diagnosed in only 1.57%. The most common orthopedic motorcycle injuries were upper extremity contusions while the most common anatomical area for fractures was the hand.
In the greater NYC area, it's commonplace to have the ETA immediately increase by several minutes (not uncommonly by 50%+) as soon as you're matched with an actual driver.
Based on other comments, it seems this might be a somewhat location-dependent phenomenon.
Also see:
"If you cut through this residential street with 4-way stop signs on every corner and make an impossible left hand turn across four lanes of moving traffic back onto the main road, you can shave 1min off your ETA."

Silicon Valley PMs must drive a lot. My iPhone constantly nags me about "driving" when I'm riding the Subway reading a newspaper. Maybe when BART finally completes the ring around the bay we'll see products designed for people that use public transportation instead of driving alone.
Regardless of one's political orientation, most examples of "fake news" are in fact "literally true as stated". The broader question is whether we should endeavor to present the news holistically.
It is newsworthy that certain CA precincts might be unlawfully sharing license plate data, and if SacBee is significantly under-reporting the extent of the sharing -- which is the main focus of the story -- in favor of their interpretation of the sharing, that is editorializing.
>most examples of "fake news" are in fact "literally true as stated"
Nah, most fake news I run into is stuff like "The Russians destroyed 37 HIMARS" or "<place>'s school has a litterbox for a furry student" or "Trans people are hurting your kids"
In a past life, I worked in prostate cancer ("PCa") clinical research. To drive home the point about how large of an unmet need this is:
A) In addition to 1/6 men being diagnosed with PCa, an ~equally large percentage of men have undiagnosed cancer at the time of death, it just wasn't severe enough yet to be the thing that killed them. (1)
B) Because treatment carries a 50% risk of sexual and/or urinary dysfunction side effects, the standard of care in the US for PCa is literally to leave the cancer untreated and monitor it closely, until it develops into an aggressive cancer. At that point, we treat the entire prostate (the opposite of "focal" therapy referenced in this article) and all bets are off re: side effects. Also, often by that time, the cancer has spread outside of the prostate and is much more difficult to treat.
Most current cancer treatment methods we have are basically sledgehammers with loads of collateral damage - it’s not surprising the preference is to leave it if it’s benign.
My father died from metastasized prostate cancer. If/when I get it I won’t do “watchful waiting”. I’m going to get the most aggressive treatment possible.
Does anyone know of an air purifier that does not use proprietary filters?
It would be wonderful to pair some of the features of dedicated air purifiers (low noise, unobtrusive design, etc.) with the availability of standard 3M MERV HVAC filters stocked at Lowe's/Home Depot.
Could be stale information. I talked to them a while back. Still, transacting at the Zestimate price doesn't mean they're privy to the Zestimate algorithms.
Did you read the article? "He told Bloomberg News last month that he placed a “significant bearish market bet that is working out for now,” without providing details except to say it was a trade of a “good size” against indexes."
