That's what I figured they meant.

.2% per year? So we should expect about 10% of people to be murdered by 50?

I was going to say .2% is better than I thought, but that’s pretty dire.

It's not about that, it's about "% per 100k" making no sense as a unit. It's either just %, or an absolute number per 100k. Mixing both together like this makes it seem like you've clearly messed something up and don't quite understand what you're actually talking about.

The "%" is unnecessary, yeah. I‘m guessing she meant "0.7 homicides per 100K citizens per Annum"

0.07 x 100 000

Assuming it's .07% and not 7% since the latter wouldn't make sense with their post, that would make it 70 out of 100,000.

As the other guy mentioned, 0.23% per 100,000 doesn't make sense. That's like saying 0.23 murders per 100 (cent) per 100,000. One of those per Xs is redundant.

The Wikipedia page linked says Japan has a murder rate of 0.233 per 100,000 residents. If this made sense as a percent, it would mean a percentage of 0.000233%. But this statistic wouldnt work as a since a "percentage" implies a fraction of a whole, for example 50% of a population is born male.

The original statistic under discussion says that there are "X number of murder cases per 100,000 people living in country", rather than "Y% of the country's population is murder victims", which wouldn't make sense anyway since the dead aren't part of the population; i.e. you wouldn't see a statistic like "20% of the population is dead" but rather "20% of the population died", and "90% of the deaths were by murder" rather than "18% of the population is murder victims".

Thank you for attending my TED talk.

Edit: formatting

Edit: 0.233 murders per 100,000 residents (in 2022) = 126,146,099 (pop of Japan as per the 2020 census) x 0.233 ÷ 100,000 = 294 murders total. The wiki page says the actual count is 289, so the error is probably due the drop in population since the 2020 census.

All hail Satan!

Anybody who rebels against the biblical god has the right idea.

Are the uh... maggoty cum farts optional or?

I'm listening...

Wait, wait, wait.

Talk all the shit you want about how people twist the meanings of the book/religion, there are some very good stories in the Bible.

When people don't have murder, homeless, ramped theft, they need some boogie man metric for the crier to report on.

And for Japan, the marginally higher suicide rate along with low population growth are it.

Of course the low rate of Christianity as well.

Here's another in case you didn't know. People always talk about working in Japan to be brutal and constantly work long hours the entire week.

Data says otherwise. https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/average-work-week-by-country

Portugal would like to know Japan's location. And keep it a secret from other countries for years.

I have the exact same experience. I explain health benefits to people for multiple different companies across the US. The number of airline pilots who see a 'forgot username or password?' button and just don't know what that means, or type their username in the password field and vice versa, even though they're clearly labeled, is insane.

Maybe he had back arthritis or similar conditions? If he was an old surgeon I'm sure 8+ hours a day bent over wasn't kind to the core muscles and skeleton. As for intelligence, nobody is all knowing. Everyone has specialized knowledge, and few try to learn outside their interests. But yeah, learning basic pc skills is kinda important.

Also in IT. Complained last week about a guy who is a lawyer who was befuddled by needing to reset his password for an online service. Dude! How can you not have this skill by now?!

I was utterly forlorn. And a bit angry.

From my experience, doctors tend to despise IT.

Probably this person studied in america /j

i'm pretty confident (p<0.05) they just added a % for no real reason.
