Here's my anecdote:
I moved to SEA lately and we have no amazon here. Instead we have Lazada and Shopee - two huge store fronts with great technology and huge marketing. I don't trust neither of them, I feel like returning 30% of my orders, sometimes my returns get denied for no reason.

My last purchase was a lawn chair that was advertised with attachments, there was only one tiny 8point font note at the bottom that said translation something like "attachments are just attachments" which could vaguely be interpreted as attachments not included while all of the pictures and descriptions featured them. My return got denied.

All of the reviews are fake on thse two storefronts too. There are often promotions of "leave 5 star review with at least 3 pictures to win an iPad!" which would be illegal in many countries.

As much as I dislike Amazon, they are by far the most trustworthy general store front I've used.

Yes - get banned on YouTube for disagreeing with WHO

No - go against the data we have so far

The thing with not valuing free speech is that eventually you will find that a rational position you hold (regardless of whether it is actually rational or if you just feel it is) will run afoul of the censors and you will be left without a voice.

"Misinformation" may seem obvious at times. But its classification can very be easily be bent towards any kind of political agenda.
I could actually see it as libel. You’re leading people to believe the artist did something (created a work or said something) which isn’t true. SNL and other parodies would obviously be exempt because there’s no misrepresentation. A reasonable person doesn’t actually believe Trump went on SNL and happens to look like Alec Baldwin that day.
Ok, but your previous post said "even if you are very optimist and assume that he’ll get exactly as much as he expects in taxes", so I was operating under that optimistic assumption. Was Yang planning to exempt any part of the GDP from his VAT? Genuine question but I didn't think he was.

Speaking of which, I googled Germany's VAT and it seems there are quite a few exemptions ("food, books, hotel accommodation, cultural services and other goods and services") that only get VATed at 7%, which is much closer to the 6% they apparently collect in practice. But sure, they probably do fail to collect quite a bit of what they theoretically could.
Living in Canada for about two years, so make whatever of my opinion. They seem very fond of the current government, they remind me of US media with Obama but way more subdued.

> plenty of people have an awful time in state schools

For sure, I'm not denying that, I'm just saying there's a difference between the possible outcome of having an awful time and being so socially abnormal that you get panicky talking to the cashier at the Burger King and can't make any friends.
I actually have thought about it, but I'm not sure if I could stand starting at the bottom of those fields, plus the salaries cap much lower.
> The argument that this is just part of the normal flu cycle doesn't make any sense.

those deaths are after the seasonal flu is heavily vaccinated against. in 2017-2018, flu vaccine generation was at a record high [0] (in the US).

its heavily vaccinated against (with many sectors like military and healthcare requiring vaccination) exactly because its dangerous.

isnt this a normal flu? what would happen if we stopped producing normal flu vaccines? in other words, what if a new flu came out that ignored our current vaccines - a novel virus?

It has no legal duty to be a platform, nor to deplatform. It arguably has moral duties: to facilitate free discussion, and to remove harmful material. In this case there's a clear clash between the two that will make a lot of readers nervous.

Absolute nonsense. The presence of an artifact on a FLIR recording proves nothing except that we are too quick to make assumptions and very gullible as a species.
Although my company did interview coaching, resume creation and LI Profile enhancement (support services for the interviewee), hopefully this is useful. Many interviewers are in risk minimization mode in the beginning. So they are looking for good fit and also inconsistencies in the career path. Life is messy with fits and starts but an overarching good story and understanding the thought process behind career moves goes a long way to lowering risk concerns. That should be aligned in both the resume and the oral interview. Employers want a problem solver with a general record of focus, attention, and seeking improvements. The right questions will allow these qualities to surface.

Not the parent poster, but that's a good point. I guess the limiting factor isn't rationality, so it must be misinformation (anti-vaxxers) or disagreements on the consequences of the information (immigration is bad because there aren't enough jobs). Or maybe just trolling (flat-earthers).

YouTube here has decided what the “correct” messaging is for the many based on the decisions of a few. Is there no room for dissenting opinion?

Perhaps more dangerous are the people who now are firmly convinced the lockdown should be over simply because the video was taken down.

When is the proper approach to discuss and counter instead of suppress?

I am not able to involve my child in my job. If I tried to do so, I wouldn't get anything done. I'm either working with her or doing my work. We try to find a balance by setting her up with lessons for the day (some specified by her teacher, some by us), helping her out when she encounters hurdles, and checking in on her now and again to see how she's doing. Then we discuss what she did during day later that evening.

It's worth noting, her teachers have been great. As much as I'm frustrated by some of the online stuff, they're doing a great job with very little time to prepare for it.

I can't speak for google but social herd psychology is a thing. And face to face communication is very effective for certain things. As an aside, every type of communication has it's uses.

I just finished old reel-to-reel tape digitizing of family audio files going back to 1953. Luckily they were stored in a cool dry place. I had to cannibalize 2 players to get one working.

I was curious about the lower prices you mentioned. And it isn't the case for items I usually buy.

For instance, my local grocery store has 2 liter Diet Coke Caffeine Free for $0.99 (on sale, sure, but it occurs like clockwork every 2 weeks), while Amazon Fresh has it for $1.74. Plain bagels are $1.99 at the grocery store, while AF charges $3.24.

Could it be the case that your local grocery store is simply overpriced?
There's lots of counfounding factors, especially since there are basically no countries with no restrictions (Sweden has the same level of restrictions as many US states, for example).

But in general, yes. Areas with stronger restrictions have significantly fewer deaths, and areas that enacted restrictions saw deaths drop by 3-5x already, with continued downward trends as opposed to upward exponential ones.
Addressing your second to last question, I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility, though the more likely solution for the government is throwing money at compute power to break encryption which is reasonably secure if millions of dollars isn't thrown at it.

Yeah sorry I only have access to data that exists, as mentioned in the original comment.

Weird how no one who brings up under-reported cases has any opinion about under-reported deaths, since the insinuation you're making is that there are statistically more unreported cases than deaths. That seems like a claim you may want to justify.

Yeah, a lot of the hate I saw for common core (I'm a high school math/physics teacher) comes from a lack of number sense on the adults trying to understand it. Like, I saw parents who were complaining about breaking 634x127 into (600+30+4)(100+20+7) because they didn't understand you can break it up like that and it makes it a bit easier to do the multiplication, then you can just sum the resuts.

Sadly, a lot of the elementary school teachers I've encountered also lack that number sense, and some even detest(ed) math. And yet we're asking them to teach it to our kids. I'm not for charter schools usually, but I'd really love to start a charter elementary school where each subject is taught by someone trained in that subject and then with, say, a MAT in elementary ed, as opposed to just a bachelors in elementary ed. I wonder how much better kids would do in math and reading especially, when they have teachers who appreciate math and who like to study literature and read for its own sake.

> Are social problems more prevalent amongst homeschooled kids, due to homeschooling?

My guess is yes, but I have no direct evidence of that. The thing I think I can say with certainty is that there's a long tail of parental effects on socialization for homeschooled kids. Very severely conservative or religious parents are very likely to have kids with these problems to a moderate or strong degree. And quite a few homeschooling parents in the United States are like this - you might very well be in a liberal or urban bubble if you don't see this in your local homeschooling community.

> My own kids seem, in contrast, to have gotten more out of clubs fitted in around schooling

I don't mean to sound like I'm totally opposed to homeschooling. I actually think it can be much better than public schools with the right parents, the right environment, the right amount of money, and so on. I'm not clear on exactly how old your kids are, but I would warn that I do think it's significantly harder to encourage the best social development once they become teenagers.

> a couple of the teachers

By "teachers" I assume this means you are hiring outside instructors or doing co-op classes with other homeschooling families where your kids and there kids are being taught at the same time. This is a very different kind of experience and not what I referred to as "full homeschooling" in another comment in this thread.
It’s not like these are crackpot doctors that uploaded the video themselves. It was a press conference that a local news station uploaded to YouTube.

Where would White and Nerdy place? It's not a direct comment on the original artist, but it is intentionally playing with a reversal of the stereotypes associated with the original piece.
You should have just stopped after the first period and this would have been a good comment. The Two-Income Trap is a great book, but the Elizabeth Warren that published that book in 2004 is not the Elizabeth Warren that ran for president this year. She is a wholly different person today. She's become very populist and political and shed the academic rigor.

China threatens if Australia launches investigation of handling of Covid
I don't think it necessarily has to do with visa to China. I started receiving a ton of spam calls in mandarin despite never applying for a visa to China or having a partner from China or ordering anything from Chinese services like Alibaba.

However, I find it interesting that those calls started shortly after I graduated college and started my first big tech job.
The article doesn't go into detail on what happened.

If it was a [manual] Content ID claim, there's no legal reason YT has to remove the video; the content ID system exists to provide an (arguably abusable) way for YT to scan every piece of uploaded content for copyrighted material.

If it was a DMCA, YouTube has to remove the video to maintain impunity.

But, as stated in a related comment, this is new territory in the eyes of the law. Maybe this video is a parody, but if it's not clear about that it would be clearly illegal. Even an extremely good impersonator can be sued if they try to actually pass themselves off as someone else.

But the endgame is to have an organization, such as the AMA or the ABA, for the delegation of responsible judgment. Google and YouTube just grew up too fast without the FCC catching up, but in a society where we felt that Google and YouTube shouldn't be in a position of deciding whether youths might come into contact with swear words, that ultimately means we want delegation to another trustworthy body such as the FCC.

In this case Google choose the WHO. We can argue that there's a better choice on the table, but what?
Honestly, a lot of it is because of elementary school teachers in my opinion. I don't want to bash them too much, but they often struggle(d) with math. They don't have much of a number sense, and now we're asking them to teach our kids how to have number sense (which is what common core does; it shows that 65+37 = 70+32, etc etc). I actually remember my 6th grade math teacher specifically for this reason. She explained things to us in a way that gave us number sense, instead of just memorizing rote steps. It made my math skills so much better, and I'm still thankful for that today. Sadly, it was only one teacher at the entire school.

I'd love to start a charter elementary school (as much as I generally dislike the concept of a school getting state/federal funding with no testing accountability) where each subject is taught by someone who actually studied the subject, not just "elementary education". Then you might see kids enjoy math and understand it, as their teachers understand and enjoy it and can teach that; it's infectious. I wouldn't be surprised if reading scores also raised when kids are taught by people who clearly enjoy reading and are passionate about reading.

Because dominant media platforms have a huge crosshairs on their backs, with different groups criticizing they aren’t doing enough to remove misinformation, and at the same time, they are too heavy handed.

The consensus is that the platforms have to do SOMETHING, because if not, it becomes a national security issue and regulation is going sweep through the industry.

At the same time, the platforms can’t be seen as enforcing government censorship, so they choose WHO, an independent international organization as the information fact checker.

Who knows, maybe they also want to win some brownie points with china. I wouldn’t be surprised.
They do, but the usability leaves something to be desired.

Imbalance. There has always been the assumption in media that all sides will have their champions, and this has traditionally been the case.

Unfortunately that no longer holds as certain entities have a stranglehold on online communication.

I believe that's an intolerant situation and am not willing to wait.

A reminder that The Blaze is a conservative mouthpiece founded by Glenn Beck. I’m astounded at the number of comments here that don’t seem to be considering that.

The article is not worth clicking on based on that fact alone. It may or may not be factual, but we can rest assured that it’s written in service of a very specific agenda.

That agenda is the typical “we are being silenced” message pushed by the regressive, extremist conservative faction of the Republican Party.

> Newspapers do that all the time, TV and Radio does it all the time.

And that's why newspapers are classified as publishers and therefore are able to be sued. "Platforms" like YouTube are can't be sued because they are supposed to act like platforms - which they are not. Right now YouTube is acting like publishers while using the advantage of being called a platform. This is the Communications Decency Act section 230.
That shouldn’t be surprising, The Blaze was founded by Glenn Beck. It’s not a reputable journalistic outlet.
