"A single data scientist amongst a department of data scientists, who did actual, illegal stuff, and is being charged for that." "par for the course" We have different measures of normalcy or different news sources.

This article is trying to drive an artificial wedge between wisdom and innovation when there is none. Both are valuable to people. (regardless of age, sex, race, status, etc)

30ish% fatality rate of small pox. I think Black Plague was like 60% fatality rate and killed so many people that it's theorized it paved the way for the enlightenment by disrupting entrenched economic stratification. Covid is essenti

Isn't regular code, low code? Like isn't a turing complete language proven to be the highest level one can go to be able to do anything required with code? Everything past that reduces the amount of code but also reduces the numb

The problem with this logic is that even before money you had to survive and youre under the spell of 'some' activity to survive. Money just abstracts hunting all day...to sitting in an office all day doing mental or creative work

I don't know what to think about this style of CSS. I was taught to use classes semantically and style from there. A navbar would be a .navbar class for example and that would be styled in the stylesheet. Istead of a bunch of classes i

If I walk into a room of people with the black plague, I'm concerned about every single person in that room giving me the disease not just the people of my age bracket. That's the chance of infection. This same idea is used in mas

by nickthemagicman 5y ago
I think you may be wrong. All age groups are equally INFECTIOUS once they have the disease, but are not equally able to BE INFECTED , otherwise people under 55 wouldn't have to wear masks. We wear the mask to protect others right? No m

chance of infection * chance of some complication Its a very simple intuitive calculation that is used widely throughout epidemiology. It feels like, with Covid, people try to add on unnecessary calculations or ignore important factors to

SAME. Those sites provided me with negative value.

by nickthemagicman 5y ago
Yeah that's exactly the calculation were looking for. Do you want me to run the numbers for a person under 18? Trust me it will be drastically less chance of BP from covid than the vaccine. We would never consider the idea... that an I

Unless it's a case of date rape or something. One of Dahmer's victims got away and was so drugged that the cops returned him to Dahmer who proceeded to eat him.

The problem is that it is federal overreach. I'm fine with doing it on a state by state basis, but this has no business being in the purview of the federal govt.

This poor guy got bells palsy from the vaccine. And he's healthy 56 years old which is a very low-risk group to begin with. The statistics for a healthy 56 year old dying of C19 are extremely minimal. A healthy politician in Australia

Facebook knows that you met someone or know someone? That's all they know for sure. it's something but not much.
