This is not even wrong :-\ I'm really puzzled how my words can be seen as "pushing" any "agenda". My only intent was to point out that "just-so story" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ju

I'm sure GP is aware of this. This root has "shitty" connotations in many languages, Russian included.

Indeed, I was going to point out that it may be an innocent mistake, like a decade old "Fedora for Raspberry PI" blunder. But now I've had a close look at the list of contributors, I cannot stop thinking it is an exquisite tr

Mary Mallon's case was singled out of many more similar cases. She was treated unfairly and with prejudice. No wonder she behaved "anti-socially".

What revisionism? There was nothing sensible, measured, effective, justified, "common sense" or genuine in the "response" to that "pandemic". I came to believe that it was not even well-intended beyond the firs

Disappointing and astonishing it is, how much of post-hoc rationalization, memory-holing, wishful thinking and general newspeak was squeezed into that post. Lies, even repeated very often, do not become truth.

Ah-ha, "Boys just havin' fun"™. Being Australian is not incompatible with impostors' or being a good troll!

Judging by what he puts in the open in his other articles, an accomplished fencer he is, so there must be a few who had to fight!

May I point you to the "Compliments" section of his blog, in your search for self-deprecating.

I've recently read through many of the author's articles and also through his LinkedIn content, and came to the opposite conclusion. The intentional "In-Your-Face-Trolling" style is intended as a cover for "Impostor

In other words, "there would be no smoke without fire". I believe, personally, that this truism is a major cause of injustice and grief in the world, historically and at present time. It is absolutely fair and warranted to be skep

Wow, the projection here is blatant! Well done. Also, "a good reason" may be so in the court of (some) public opinion, but not so much in the court of law. No matter how justified one's reasons are, if they lead to somebody&#

Why would you act differently when you're experiencing symptoms but the test is negative, if you know the negative is (relatively) highly likely to be "false"? And why would you test if you're having no symptoms? To me

May I ask, what are the appropriate actions which would be different or not appropriate at presence of the same symptoms sans positive test result?

In my corner of Australia healthcare is effectively closed to me, as GPs around here demand wearing masks and allow no exemptions. I guess that's democracy in action. No mask - no rights, as per majority decision. One of the biggest re

I am trapped inside of Victoria, unfortunately. I wholeheartedly agree with GP poster. We saw visitor bans, curfews, work permits, arrests, rubber bullets and riot gear police deployed as "epidemiological" measures. My respect for

Exactly! Prior to 2020 "infectious diseases" wouldn't even have make it to the list as explicit inclusion. Everyone would have thought it is silly to single the mundane topic out like this. It is as ridiculous now as it was b

Exactly! The analogy I use is SQL is like two-wheeled motorbike - fast, nimble, elegant. Yes, it may be dangerous. Yes, you may need to wear a helmet. Yes, it cannot carry too much load. But it gets you very quickly very far, if you have sk

Absolutely agree with the opening statement. However, the example given suggests that the same principle applied to government would result in endless lockdowns and "safety" measures above any reasonable boundary. Officials'

I am with you. The analogy I came up with is "map layers". Usually on a geographical map the features are drawn using contours, colours and accompanying names. Such map is, certainly, not a "territory" but is a good repr

Where is this fairy country Australia? Living at the western fringe of Greater Melbourne, any charging infrastructure is invisible here, I'm not sure it exists. And $45k or $70k alike both look incredibly expensive to me, I would never

NNT is certainly smart and is an expert, but what domain? Last time I checked it was mathematical risk modelling and options trading, not medical research. And the most robust modelling on a flawed premise is still flawed.

Of course I don't want it. Why would I? It is like demands for intercourse from random strangers, claiming you're immoral for not caring about "benefits" for THEM. Mask IS dehumanizing, and IS a symbol of control, just l

From my perspective, this is what happens every night when I go to sleep. I may well "not exist" for the duration of the night. The whole connection from me-today to me-yesterday is my memory. Even the concept of physical continua

So it is the same effect as with mandatory bicycle helmets, where the main contribution to decreased trauma rates seems to come from many people refusing to ride the bicycle at all, missing on all the goodness it brings. I even wonder if mo
