Respectfully, it is insane to not recognize the discrete similarities listed, and moreover, how many genocides have their roots in purported "public health measures".

Sure, and at first the Canadian government didn't force indigenous children into residential schools - it just withheld resources and services and used a monopoly on violence to make resistance untenable. Believing that's acceptab

In any country people are personally and directly affected by subjugation measures directed at their ingroup, I don't think that's particularly controversial.

Yes, everyone in all of Canada who disagreed with the ruling elite's opinions at the time saw themselves strong-armed and targeted by both legislation and vitriol from public officials. The greater the perceived threat to destabilizing

Is it no longer the most expensive part of downtown? Obviously there are rich suburbs.

A distinction without a difference. The ruling elite doesn't have to survey the population. They sandbagged the population into alignment with their own opinions, then strong-armed holdouts and specifically targeted them along every po

The stuff they were protesting was very real, and those measures specifically caused disruption to hundreds of thousands of people's lives and sleep for months on end. The government turning to wartime measures so that privileged Ottaw

This is the milquetoast approach of most Canadians - a major factor in why Canada, in it's current state, is rather cooked.

How does this compare to or improve on applying something like SHAP[0][1] on a model? The idea in the first line that "we currently don't understand how to make sense of the neural activity within language models." is..straig

What drug doesn’t have any potential side effects? The solution is criminalizing public disorder, ideally with a rehabilitative bent. Not wasting public time and money on criminalizing drugs and pursuing possession charges.

Funny, I was going to comment how refreshing it is to see a raw Excel data dump instead of insights tortured to whatever agenda by a data science team. Regions and genres would be nice though.

Not really. It doesn't tell us anything except the opinion of a partner. Has S23 resulted in more successful startups, happier founders, higher valuations than W19, S20, W20, S21, W21, S22, and W22? There's no elaboration.

Tweets are often rich media and aren't designed to be one line, but Twitter has a Lists function that does basically this if you're willing to make manual groupings of users by topic.

It has potential. No one should be forced to try things, but if people make an informed choice to become test subjects it’s not something to discourage.

The problem with that line of thinking, to me, is we have state apparatuses fully and ever-increasingly capable of manufacturing crises to compel individuals in ways that would otherwise not be acceptable. On top of that, I see a qualitativ

Schooling is mandatory but schools are not. That process is maybe arguably risky, but also not irreversible.

Conscription is a good example of a social burden unfairly dispersed and widely objected to — at least in the West. My point is the underpinning of this “one more mandatory intervention is no big deal” view is not based on reality. The Stat

In Canada, all reports to our Public Health Infobase must be made by a health care professional. I do suspect underreporting, given social and collegial pressure on practitioners to not undermine vaccination efforts, but I accept the given
