Perhaps you could tell me what information, other than how big the US is, is conveyed by the headline when it says "than six countries... combined".

Sure, the article makes that point, and it's reasonably well made (although not the case that there isn't any private insurance in those countries at all). My point was that the article's title is misleading and clickbaity and does not convey the point that the article makes well
That is how it is reasonable to interpret the headline, given no other information

Reality: the US is spending 1.5 times what comparable countries are spending on healthcare
This headline: the US is spending 6 times what comparable countries are spending on healthcare
Yes - it's very misleading
Yes it is - they could have done it on a per capita basis but they didn't. Also, if you read the headline, it's very easy to think we spend 6 times per capita than comparable countries, which would be wrong
This is a misleading clickbaity headline. Those 6 countries added up equal about the population of the US, so it's not like we're spending 6 times other countries on a per capita basis. We spend more and get less than other countries, but you don't need to mislead people to get that point across.
Mojo is available for local download 3 years ago
I'm excited, but it's a shame that it's not available for Apple silicon yet. I really think this is the future of Python
Are any words the same in all languages? 3 years ago
No.
Apple Vision Pro: Apple’s first spatial computer 3 years ago
Can we tell if it will be possible to develop with anything other than Swift?
For reference, Apple says that it will have "familiar tools and frameworks like Xcode, SwiftUI, RealityKit, and ARKit, as well as support for Unity and the new 3D-content preparation app Reality Composer Pro"
My guess is that since we can use other frameworks like react native on iOS that you could eventually do things with something like Python or JS, but someone will need to create some frameworks to interface with their APIs. Any thoughts?
Looks fine I guess, but (like Ruby) it's not as intuitive as Python, and I have a lot of hopes that Mojo will bring about a performant Python like programming experience
