I think you're just frustrated at what you believe is the inability of other people to see a danger you do. I suppose I'm one of those people. I didn't find your comparison to covid disrespectful, it just seemed to undermine

Unsupported premises. Assumptions. Good writing should help us see things we didn't before. This does not.

No. One can oppose the bill for lots of reasons, including a lack of faith that any of the taxes, regulations and spending will have the effect you and the politicians who wrote it think it will. Or one might oppose it because one thinks it

The title of the piece leaves little room for nuance.

If you're tired of hearing these arguments, you may wish to consider not making them to yourself and then putting quotes around them as if someone else said them.

There are lots of reasons to oppose this bill; why assume climate change is the only reason? And if it's fair to assume the opposition is to the portion of these taxes and regulations meant to address climate change, why assume the opp

Interesting statistic. Do you have a citation?

I don't know if your analysis about either front line workers needing to be first in line or the impracticality of triaging anyone after that is correct, but your analysis seems just as valid as any coming from California's politi

None of the rules around vaccination make sense to me -- nor do I have faith in the politicians who came up with them -- so I find it difficult to judge the person accused of skipping the line. But I do find it easy to judge the person who

I left Stanford two classes short of a degree. I just couldn't make myself care. Difficult to explain.

I don't know what the laws or policies are in Florida for such things. I can see a privacy right being violated I the case where a state reveals the subject of a warrant that could be mistakenly issued. For example, if someone used my

You are are assuming facts not in evidence. We don't know for sure what the raid was about.

An accused person can and should be able to say whatever she wants about her accusations and the process. There are instances where they can't in the US and I think that is wrong. I'm not arguing in favor of secret courts. I'

Probably millions of instances. I think I'd prefer the state not announce what it is charging people with. Once she's charged, she should be able to say so. But consider the possibility one is falsely accused of rape. In my case,

I get what you're saying, but is a hospital likely to employ a surgeon without a degree in medicine?

No it isn't. She was paid as a web developer by the state. Simultaneously, the state has actual data scientists it was paying to look at this data and provide analysis. I'm open to the idea she was and is a data scientist, neverth

I don't think the degrees you've cited necessarily make one a data scientist. I think doing data scientist work makes you a data scientist. So it may well be best to consider her a data scientist based on her current work or even

I think it would be helpful if you let us know why you believe it is obvious.

I don't know what the raid on Ms. Jones house was about and am going to reserve judgment until I do. There's just so much weirdness. She calls herself a data scientist, which she may well consider herself to be, but the state appe

Im confused. The article seems to be saying you can sue government agents who violate your rights, but the ruling seems to only be saying you can sue the government. Which seems dumb. The agent violated your rights, not the taxpayers.

It's difficult to prove anything with this data but that's not it's value. It's value is in helping us figure out where to investigate.

I am curious too. These data are critical to policymakers today. Without knowing what excess deaths from suicide and overdose look like stratified by age, they can't understand the risk and reward of covid-19 lockdowns. And even if the

The negative effect isn't of protesting policies like this. It is of doing so in a way that is not fair to Mr Trump, and which allows other people to dismiss your protest as the whining of a not particularly sophisticated child.

There's certainly value in being mindful of the Holocaust, and of the great capacity for evil, even if banal, inside of us all, and to acknowledge and fight against it each day. But I remain unconvinced that calling those I disagree wi

Listen if Hitler is the only comparison you think people understand, and you think the only way to convince them that a thing is bad and should be avoided is because, like, Hitler, and because in some racism dream where you get darker than
