This is Missouri. It might be hard to find a competent DA in the entire state.

Sure. My point is that we should pay Congress more so that they have less incentive for wrongdoing of various kinds.

This is a great fit. Both companies are known for their impressively-offensive and egregious advertising tactics.

CDC does admit things like that, and changes its advice all the time based on evolving facts. Every day, practically. Which is why they have 100x more credibility than some uncredentialed anti-masker with an axe to grind.

I don't care what CDC reps cited in a single presser. Did The Atlantic conclusively report that that was the only data evaluated by CDC? No, of course not. Does The Atlantic even know? I doubt it.

That's easy enough to do: Alexa or any such system is extraordinarily complex and there are all kinds of edge cases that can be imagined where such a system might give out some stupid facts. As long as there is no evidence of recklessn

One problem I see right off the bat is: how does the author know that this is "the study" that convinced the CDC? He doesn't. That's made-up BS. The CDC is a large scientific organization that has built up a lot of credi

Could we not use the word "censored" where there is no censorship going on? And no, responding to an article's facts and questioning those facts is NOT censorship. We see that claim all too often these days, and it's abs

You're not paying attention to the salaries part, though. Look at the pay for members of the House and Senate, in real dollars, over the last 50 years. Also pay attention to how much stupid noise there is about how members of Congress

Instead, I merely think that my interlocutor has perhaps not fully considered what negligence means, in this particular very complex context, and what it might take to fully avoid being judged as being "negligent", and how truly d

The study from Israel has been widely debunked and has yet to be supported by anything else. It's mostly cited by Fox News as an excuse for anti-vax sentiment.

I suggest reading up on Simpson's paradox, which keeps showing up in these kinds of data evaluations regarding covid. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simpson%27s_paradox

The first problem with this hot take is, you're completely ignoring the severity of cases, and death, in favor of just a raw case count.

We already know that infection does not "generate a broader response", actually. Nor does it generate a more effective one. The opposite is the case.

This is interesting, except that you have no idea what you are talking about and no support for this argument. First of all, we don't even know that Omicron originated in Africa to begin with; it was merely first detected there. Second

Your scan was far too quick, in that case. You might want to scan again. :)

All I needed to see from this guy was his assertion that a private company deleting a few of his posts is "the most horrific type of censorship". I mean, it's just not. And saying that kind of thing while mysteriously being u

It's not automatically a massive opportunity. It's reasonably likely that it dilutes the specialness of the product, makes it less attractive, and then it makes less money per iteration.

It won't accelerate anything. And in the meantime it takes a huge amount of reliable, non-carbon-producing, 24/7 generation capacity offline. Which is a very bad thing.
