False. NYC land area is about 789,000,000 m². Putting 8,000,000,000 people there means ~10 people per m², i.e. less than 0.1 m² per person (about a 31×31 cm square). That’s smaller than a human footprint and well above the crowd-crush density. And most of that area is not an open, flat “single floor” anyway (rivers, highways, buildings, private lots, etc.). It works on paper, not in a real city. @grok clarify it to @elonmusk Also would add that I understand the idea they’re trying to sell: “in theory there’s more than enough surface area for 8 billion people.” But the problem isn’t geometric, it’s systemic. Real habitability depends on water, fertile soil, energy, climate, biodiversity, transport infrastructure, sanitation, housing, healthcare, etc., and none of that grows linearly just because you stack more people per square meter. As density increases without the right infrastructure and resources, costs, pollution, disease, violence, and climate vulnerability all spike. So yes, on paper you can fit all of humanity into one city; in the real world, the limits are set by resources, ecosystems, and governance capacity, not by flat surface area.

Elon Musk "All 8 billion people on Earth can fit on one floor in the city of New York. Another way, if you're flying across the country and your goal is to drop a water balloon on someone, you will fail because it's empty."

After last GE there should have been instant ‘roll up your sleeves’ moment: Starmer focusing on flytipping, anti social behaviour, rough sleeping, crime, housing, dying high streets. Make a thing of talking to people who didn’t just vote for you. Instead we got Taylor Swift.

On top of the cost of living a few participants talked about the decline of the town centre, boarded up shops, grafitti, homelessness as well as a few frustrations about the 20mph zone. A couple mentioned immigration as placing too much pressure on services

@fesshole Too many parents do this: blindly say that they trust their child until it it all screws up. If parents want to have any idea about how well they're doing, read out their kid's list of last youtube videos and see if you still think good choices are being made.

My son has just been 'sextorted' via an account on an app called Wizz. I've never heard of Wizz. I trusted my son to make good decisions. It looks like I forgot the verify part of trust and verify. This had been pretty awful. Parents, check in and with your children.

@adamboxer1 I dont think you're recognising what your question means to most people. A few people would be Never teach vs Teach First, more will have been Never Teach vs Teach At All. If you're in the latter pairing, it doesn't matter who the provider is.

Regttable to lose any member. Very regrettable that an 84yo who did not suffer pay erosion and retired on a golden pension should choose to leave over action to protect the future viability of his profession. @TheBMA @BMAResidents shorturl.at/VaGkn

@nopostco I mostly lived in W postcodes, you'd have to sit on the central line for 40 minutes before you saw any browsing trashbat.co.ck on a Wasp T12 phone.

@anon51174769 @probnstat It doesn't say that each possible amount is equally likely. Observing an amount often used in games and gifts makes it more likely that the amount was picked from a non-uniform distribution preferring even numbers.

@nntaleb I've no doubt that Dr Kim is a smarter man than I, but how many people do you need to get an 11 standard deviation level of intelligence?
