on the subject of using accusations of anti-Semitism to stifle political debate inside the labour party, I'd recommend watching "the lobby" episode 3 [1]. Ironically the documentary itself was accused of antisemitism but Ofco

What's kinda creepy in the Tunisian situation, is the amount of false information being spread on social media, especially Facebook. For example, there are several posts of a screenshot of an aljazeera post, next to a not fully loaded

I just watched this video a few hours ago because youtube randomly recommended it to me. I wonder if it's just the Baader–Meinhof effect or if the post was caused by the same youtube algorithm.

that was not my question. and wearing a giant cross is not mandatory in christianity.

- I mean freedom of religion is a human right. - So In a majority christian state, is it ok to discriminate against jews?

by P-ala-din 6y ago
The underlying assumption is if you wear a hijab, you're not integrated. I honestly feel like this is just religious discrimation with extra steps.

A thing I want to stress, is that you pay for the "complexity" just once, and it gets amortized over all projects that use this code. This is a standard technique, that is often used in String functions. You can see it also in imp

I feel like these are poor choices. * linked lists shouldn't be used anyway. and if they are used, you should use the standard implementation * directly applying fibbonacci is trivial. * sort: This is just a memorisation task, what&#x

if masks don't make things worse, then they can only help. (to explain more: there is a mechanism by which they help. so for them to not help (in total) , there must be a way in which they make things worse)

by P-ala-din 6y ago
so you're saying that the gaps are so wide that almost no contaminated particle (getting in) will get stuck on the mask? but somehow (some of the) particles going out will get stuck. how is that simple?

I feel like I have a wrong model of how things work. I'm thinking that for each virus there is a chance that it will infect a cell. The higher the viral load, the higher the number of chances that you will get infected. a lower numbe

just to make sure that I'm understanding: - If using X reduces the probability of contracting P. then X protects you from X. right? - If a mask prevents you from touching your face and that reduces the probability of contracting the di

another factor is the desire to separate ideas from their author. for example, double-blind peer review.

I think we call things rights only if someone potentially wants to take them. If no one ever took or would ever take a specific right from anyone, I don't see what's the point of calling that a right. for every right, there are si

if a study can't be replicated then the study is wrong isn't it? either the sample was too small, they got unlucky or the result is stated too generally.

yeah, the definition of prevalence is clear to me. but it's the other way around. Men and women are affected with the same severity but women are more likely to develop it. ( or at least that's what I understood from bradjohnson&

That makes sense, thanks. I was misled by the use of "prevalence" in the first part of the sentence.

by P-ala-din 6y ago
Of course, that's true but I can't map that to the statements at hand. I understood it to be: P(W) == P(M) and P(W) > P(M)

the way I parsed the question made it seem that they are incompatible. hence why I asked. it's my bad because I didn't explain myself. I understood the first sentence to be saying that the proportion of men experiencing "impo
