I think you have answered your own question. If you want to know "how do you make people feel welcome and accepted in your classroom", just ask that. Tell people to write a statement of pedagogy or something, where they discuss

> The "ideology" is actually that diversity and inclusion are important to think about at all! (I appreciate you taking the time for this discussion.) Yes, I fully agree that this is an ideology. This is where the problem is.

With all due respect, I think you are misreading the situation. Some people at MIT disinvited Prof. Abbot. The authors of the article are those who opposed this action and are trying to establish rules to prevent the situation from happen

Do you have a reference to the 20% number in DK? The reason why I am asking is that the percentage of people ever infected in the US hovers around 80% (see https://covidestim.org/ and click on a few random states). So eith

Would you mind stating which institution you work for, so I can recommend that my kids avoid it like the plague? I want teachers who can answer questions about Fourier transforms, not teachers who can "manage a diverse classroom".

Does the graph of excess mortality in Denmark at https://euromomo.eu/graphs-and-maps make you feel better? It looks like they have been at the historical norm for a while.

Yours is a pathetic rhetorical attempt to reduce a complex issue to your narrow-minded ontology. You are like the dude who, during the plague of 1630 in Italy, was arguing that Aristotle had said that everything is either a substance or an

You said "covid kills about 2% of those who get it". Are you taking issue with the best available estimate of how many people "got it"? If not, your statement would imply that covid killed 5M people in the US, which is

See https://covidestim.org/ for a quantification of your "feeling". Summary: 80% of the population in California and New York state have been infected. Other states are in a similar range, but I was unable to fi

Your claim is empirically false. The total number of excess deaths was 81K in 2017, 158K in 2018, 101K in 2019. (You need to click a few buttons to enable data from past years.) The reason is that the sinusoidal amplitude is fairly small a

Either way, there is no point in vaccinating the unvaccinated cohort that you mentioned. If you are right, most of them have natural immunity and the data proves that this is already better than the vaccine, so what's the point? They

See https://covidestim.org/us for an update to your "too few" statement. The number of previously infected people is at least 70% in all US states I have looked at (80% in NY and CA). While not directly comparabl

Your ~half estimate is more like 70-80% these days. See https://covidestim.org/us (This makes your case stronger, of course.)

In case you haven't seen it before, https://euromomo.eu/graphs-and-maps has graphs of excess data for most of Europe (plus Israel) by age groups. I find it a great resource to cross-check the misinformation of the main

I don't quite understand this reasoning. If the transplant is going to shut off the patient's immune system anyway, what's the point of the vaccine given that they are going to undo it shortly afterwards? There must be some

It's hard to tell exactly what the "TV" meant, but the two statements "50% of positives were admitted for non-covid reasons" and "50% of patients are positive" are not equivalent. For example, consider a h

You are totally correct that in Paxos the proposer is supposed to "carry-forward" the value proposed by somebody else. In this view, which is how everybody understands Paxos, Paxos is an algorithm for consensus. However, the prop

by MatteoFrigo 5y ago
Your view that Paxos is an algorithm for read-modify-write is a really deep insight. Once you adopt this point of view, things like Raft are just RMW updates of a log. (I like to think of Paxos as the fault-tolerant version of the load-li
