More propaganda. You're ignoring the variable that matters most: excess death in the previous year. https://www.aier.org/article/swedens-dry-tinder-accounts-for... Include that and you can find the reason for this

Some people are seeing what they want to see: the Swedish approach hasn't failed. Lockdowns have failed. Remember Sweden was supposed to see 25x hospital overflow and 100,000+ excess deaths according to the models. Instead they have se

"I’m sick of this framing. Tired of it. Many people have tried to explain, many scholars. Listen to us. You can’t just reduce harms caused by ML to dataset bias" That's not being professionally assertive.

You forgot publicly calling both of the best known researchers in the AI revolution racist: Yann LeCunn and Jeff Dean (her manager's manager). And suing her own employer for not being feminist enough, or something.

I love this take but it's way too over-thought. As is the PR explanation. I'd be willing to bet some money on it being simply the result of some employees saying, "AI ethics is super important. We feel strongly there should b

Policy proposal in three parts: 1. I'd observe Sweden and follow the actions of Tegnell, as Sweden has had a pretty good pandemic so far. 2. To placate those who are worried I'd focus on raising hospital capacity as much as possib

Are you implying it doesn't exist / is not a useful concept? Would you like me to attempt a working definition?

False claims which have been widely debunked about the adverse impacts or effects of receiving vaccinations "Debunked" by whom? It doesn't say. False claims that COVID-19 is not real or not serious, and therefore that vacc

I think you forgot Swing and JavaFX. Both are cross platform, stable, backwards compatible for years and open source.

People in gurneys lined up along hallways, PPE running low, overflow tents in the parking lots, nurses WAY over ratio handling more patients than is safe, doctors burned-out and scared. 'Terrified' is all relative, right? Such t

Of course not, the entire concept of the cookie warning is a stupidity only the EU could have dreamed up. Browsers already allow you to control cookies, extensions can manage them and create popups if you want them, and in fact very old b

Complexity? All these different terms eventually turn into lines of code. If they aren't that different or nobody cares (which they don't, look at how many USA-only services are used by Brits) then it doesn't really make sens

The alternative to this is not "lives confident healthy awesome life without love", it's - as the article details - falling head over heels with some poor real girl who has been misled over the internet and who then turns and

Painful to read but only because there's an element of truth to it. Especially in America, I suppose. Dated/hooked up with a lot of women over time, but not out of choice. Am far happier now I have a found a woman worth devoting

The "gap" is largely irrelevant because what women find attractive is different to what men find attractive. Physical appearance isn't as important to women as it is to men. Being funny, earning well, having your life togethe

That >100% of beds can be occupied with COVID should raise some questions about those stats. ICU beds are flexible, it's more of a designation than a hard constant. Sweden doubled their ICU capacity in a few weeks without much diffi

You just have to make it look like a plausible error. There are enough ways to construct accidental RCE bugs in most languages that it's not an issue. And let's face it, how many people are reverse engineering compiled binaries on

I completely agree, but they haven't emerged at the expense of blogs and other types of website that existed in 2000.

I think this is a big part of why there is such a thing as a tech company. If you think about it, it's a weird concept to exist otherwise as basically every company uses technology. But "tech firms" as we know them are really

I think we've actually never had it so good. There are still a lot of really great blogs out there - I read them all the time, probably most of my reading is online news and blogs. It's just that blogging was always going to be ni

They made you interview again even after having worked there before? That's odd. It used to be that they didn't do that.

No we didn't. The web is very nicely decentralised, especially with the general malaise and decline of Facebook. What isn't decentralised is web apps but TBL never intended the web to be used for full blown desktop app replaceme

No, just hacked. Code signing keys get abused all the time. It's why Microsoft now insist they're held in hardware devices whereas they used to allow them to be free-standing files, but it hardly helps. If you think about it for e

No way. So far there have been zero APT attacks traced back to inside jobs. That's not how modern spy agencies work anymore. Code signing hardly means much. All you have to do is compromise CI to make an organisation sign a binary that

I think that just means they hacked a machine running in the offices, not that they were literally physically on-premises. There's a rather large opaque black hole in the middle of this assertion: how are the attackers obtaining admini

As someone who has rationally argued against epidemiology based on finding a constant stream of severe errors in their papers, I can assure you that epidemiology is almost entirely pseudo-scientific. I don't think I've ever encoun

I really doubt there's any careful calculation involved with this. YouTube is run by Susan Wojcicki who's a woman at Google and thus untouchable. She's repeatedly imposed her own left wing views on it despite this obviously a

It's not highly restricted. It's a bit more restricted than in the USA and there are plenty of brits that think that's dumb, meaningless and just creates drama whilst simultaneously distracting the police from solving actual
