It's pretty crazy how often people fall asleep behind the wheel.

There is a big discussion in this post about iatrogenics being introduced by these tests. It sounds like the fear here is that it'll tax an already burdened system with more patients (some of which just got a false positive). I'm

Wodenokoto may have different explanation, but I'm guessing it's just down to the raw data processed. If you're making a view that winds up running a query on the origin table with a `WHERE` added, then you're still proc

I'm not sure if I'm missing your comparison, but an accountant doesn't calculate how much/which tax should be paid in real-time based on the business and the user's location and then automatically account for that.

There is no mention in the article about the previous permit being revoked by the court for being illegal.

This seems like a response to The Great Suspender fiasco. There are some conspiracy theories about Google, but that situation was potentially really bad for users. Nobody really knows how bad it actually was given how many installs the exte

I turned up the person who actually made the image, and their choice for how they made this image makes me confused: https://twitter.com/GrumpyOldAstro/status/139637061036883149... Essentially, they chose to multi

It makes sense that each frame would suffer from signal-to-noise problems and be degraded, but given that this image was created over 2 hours -- is there really any loss in quality if sampled correctly? I could honestly believe there are a

On the face of it, a composite image of space that has no adjustments being ruined by 2x the number of satellites does seem pretty bad and damaging for researchers. Beyond that, it still might be worth it to actually be able to provide inte

I see your perspective but I disagree with the conclusions. Let me put it one other way: if he didn’t organize people and then make that speech, do you think there would have been a riot at all?

by invisible 5y ago
I'm not sure what answer would have satisfied your question if it wasn't asked with poor intent. There are many differences, including Trump organizing the group together that then turned into rioters after his speech.

It's apples to oranges because she was not speaking directly to a crowd that was being encouraged to make an election go her way, as Trump was.

An example of what exactly? That his speech contained a bunch of euphemisms and some of them may have been taken as calls to violence? Do you expect me to provide a clear example of him telling folks go harm congress members? We can all agr

I actually just called "fight" (and words like it) out as one of the things (using the term "like" to imply this) not the strongest indicator. He also made assertions that the country was being stolen from those people

Using the words "if not" in English in this manner indicates that it is a further extreme than the preceding portion of the sentence (and not strictly a matter of fact). There is a spectrum there, obviously, and I could argue for

This is a great article detailing what was said, including why it is only _mostly_ true that he called for peace. > However, it does not necessarily mean the president did not incite violence with the rest of his speech or in his rhetori

Stop straw manning what I said. That speech was written and was trying to accomplish a goal. Ignoring that public speaking is intended to influence people is like pretending that his words didn't matter at all. He mentioned being peace

Public health is complex, and it's a bit tough for us to "agree" that it's "okay" to have different, looser perspectives on how to manage a pandemic. If 50% of the population decides that COVID-19 is fake and t

Maybe you're hung up on what "boring" means? That could be really life fulfilling things like connecting with friends, trying hard at work, financial planning, relaxing, etc.

This isn't a counterargument, but sometimes more data isn't better data. I think lidar is super impressive in the right conditions, but debris in the air can be considered a bird even if it's a paper bag. If Waymo is having t

I'm a fan of both approaches, but Waymo is very heavily reliant on Lidar (and uses CV for augmenting). They have been working on this problem for 12 years now and have just launched in Phoenix, using high definition maps, lidar, and a

I'd like to point out the obvious but those links are written about flus. Here is the advice that replaces that 2007 CDC paper (from 2017): https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/66/rr/rr6601a1.htm > N

The argument against lockdowns was based on it being comparable to a cold/flu season. The number hospitalized so for COVID-19 in the US exceeds the 2017-2018 season. Additionally, the mortality rate is an order of magnitude higher (61k

What does the word “suggesting” mean to you (in the sentence as I used it)? I’m guessing “some leading the reader to believe that it is the same as a cold” would have been more clear.

There are multiple replies and retweets that compare COVID-19 to flus/colds in a “COVID-19 is the same” context. Or suggesting that drastic measures are unwarranted or unreasonable. The kerpen tweet thread is troubling because it sugge

Hopefully 0-10 help illuminate what I’m talking about. I think 11 and 12 point to masks being a good idea. The graphs you linked ignore population density and seasonal increases in transmission of viruses. An increase after a mask mandate i

I follow you on Twitter and think some of your ideas are great. That being said, a lot of the COVID graphs you retweet ignore population density and contend that COVID isn’t a pandemic. (Some suggesting it’s the same as a cold.) Also, flatl

I routinely recommend folks use https://www.freetaxusa.com/ for federal taxes. That being said, that this isn't a not-for-profit and/or government service is pretty ridiculous.

I agree with your points but it should be noted for the second point: they are doing more than just saying a business is crappy. They are betting billions on that business being perceived negatively. In essence, they are throwing their weig
