"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)

That's an oddly false dichotomy

Yeah now that vaccines are being shown to have rapidly waning immunity and minimal resistance to new strains I wonder what the permanent lockdown states end game is.

>>Until then, Senator X has zero bearing on my everyday life

Where have you been the past two years?

Florida and Texas seem to be doing just fine.

If the governments start locking down again Conservative states will see house prices rise.

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 essentially the flu compared to a real historical pandemic.

There were not any 'black plague' deniers.

Holy cow have been rabbit holing on all morning on this.

I've had to fight my zen garden conditioning the whole time but I have to admit this looks good.

Thanks for the link!

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 number of things the code can do and at some point in the code reduction, it's just a declarative language?

Its all shades of gray between imperative/functionsl and declarative.

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.

The real problem imo is that money allows the rich to accumulate the wealth to a massive extent while the poor have 60 to 80 hours a week.

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 in the html to define the styles for the navbar.

I'm old school though and this may be the better more modern way?

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 mask policy and is used with herd immunity calculations and all over epidemiology to be honest.

I'm really sorry that you have to do mental gymnastics to shoehorn this subject into your narrative.

Have a good day!

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 matter what our age is.

So why would you reduce the population size to just an age slice?

The same assumption is made when calculating herd immunity. They use the entire populations infectiousness because chance to transmit doesn't change with age but chance to be infected does..

But you DO limit by age group on the infection side because that individuals chance of contracting it from the general population, is based on age/immune system .
