Don't judge a loose movement as a whole against the standards of some members. And it is perfectly fine to advocate for an ambitious position even if it is not yet achieved. You can be the owner of a publishing house and advocate free

But they also have to live from those funds while in the country where they work, so even if food & accomodation are covered it's not as if you can just apply these home country cost of living and claim it's a good deal. These

He's talking about a different kind of meeting. A human encounter where you discuss and engage freely with another person.

Many commenters here miss that the author seems to refer to occasional (2/week) 1:1 meetings. These are meetings with people he presumably chose to meet. The post is interesting in how he describes he trialed and found a few strategies

On our corporate network it always worked better than the official solutions Skype for Business (Lync) and WebEx. Sadly policy does not encourage/officially allow using it.

This is the wrong perspective. The perspective should be on governments taking that role and use educational funds to generate commons. There are several issues around making all this work, but the key issue is scale: an individual school h

PayPal used to be great in its time. Leadership and ownership changed and now its just there and because everyone knows and trusts it it still lives on. Scale/brand effects.

It's not so straightforward. Those with financial interests in the matter manipulate opinion and pay for lopsided science. That's why many globally and especially in the US still 'doubt' climate change. The evidence toda

It's an EU law but enforcement is up to the individual countries. Which is why Ireland keeps its own regulator on a tight leash - to keep the big US players there.

There might be some that can do this, but how would this version possibly be able to do that if it only has one paper inside?

I would love for tiktok (and all similar social media) to disappear and I agree that China is a threat to the rest of the world (although the US is too :-) ) but tiktok do have a point that this has been done by the trump admin like they do

Very interesting but one caveat: I doubt you would ever get the most relevant producers on board. There are dedicated spycam manufacturers and all the cheap China stuff to build into other things is probably what ends up being used to spy o

Or the mandatory 3h of lessons are better than no lessons even if it means kids are staring a screens? It's not all black and white. That said, obviously the recommendations are not fully science based because the science is not clear-

In addition there is a key qualitative element: are all uses equal? Is watching Teletubbies or Paw Patrol equal to nature documentaries? Is playing addictive repetitive games different than those solving puzzles or following a story? Is vid

You test as much as possible and for any positive you ask the candidate and all associates to self-isolate. Maybe X who is infected gives you a false negative, but if you also test X's mother, husband and son you are likely to get a po

It might well be true that Wuhan currently has no known community transmissions but this is also pretty obviously a propaganda/public relations move. Weird that the BBC covers it so uncritically.

You are under the mistaken assumption that somehow exams are more fair or get a better view of what students can do. It's well established that exams measure a few limited congnitive constructs and its not the smartest or most hard wor

An obvious point not discussed is that the exams system was already biased to begin with. Previous years were already unfair as great kids at bad schools have much fewer chances than less great kids for which the parents can pay a great sch

No, herd immunity requires >90, if not >95℅. and that assumes that herd immunity is even possible - there are plenty of indications that the covid-19 cured don't have long-term immunity. That leaves only either eradication, which

You are missing the subtle point that all those deaths occured despite all the measures. Most of Europe and Asia and the reasonable countries of the Americas shut down and took 6-10% off their GDP and still so many people died. And this d

The long term data will be fascinating. Less travel means fewer car accidents and better air for example. As air quality is a key proxy for longevity/many diseases this alone might add a long term positive. Not to mention all the other
