Yes of course they'd want that, but compromise is often a necessity to prevent things from spiraling totally out of control.

The French and Russian revolutions are a testament to what happens when the ruler tries to effect the appearance of compromise without actually doing it (e.g. Constitution of 1906). It ended very badly for the rulers in both of those cases.

They fucked up a lot more than just that, but that was a key contributing factor to their deaths.
Enlightened in the sense I think it’s meant here, but not benevolent.

Because it's just property, right? No downstream effects on society at all, right?

I'm sure you were out their leading the charge when Justine Damond was shot in the stomach by a cop in Minneapolis, right?

This isn't about race and probably never was. Tragic as it is, looting and riots are going to solve anything. Seriously, if you think that's helpful, then you are the problem. What's happening now is akin to a toddler throwing a tantrum. This behavior won't change anything. It's all virtue signalling until dark when it turns in to chaos.

So how about spouting of some things that will actually make a difference, instead of following the crowd blindly in to the Apple store as you yell, "hands up. don't shoot."
Your macro skills are amazing. Boy am I glad that wasp isn't live-sized because when my display showed it, I got the chills!

Phones currently cannot easily capture the details on the wasp, from the blood? vessels to the compound eye cells. Something somewhere would be blurred into oblivion.

Is it the macro lense that captures those details, or is it a wide f-stop / image size / ISO is low enough ?

I know the terms and that they matter, but not what combinations to use given what I want to capture. (this must be what it is like for a non-techie person to try to select video transcoding settings :) )
The problem is that change can take decades or centuries and the end result may not be better or even worse.
Look at how easily the original flawed pro-HCQ paper was bought into (edit: removed my false statement it was retracted - I think it was criticized by the publishing society of the journal, but not retracted.). Many people were treated with HCQ across the world and so far there is no evidence it did anything to help them.

An important lesson here about the limits of peer review and science. A lot depends on the original authors not being frauds or simply making mistakes as we’ve seen time and again with scandals.
Setting Up DTC Operations
Thankfully, some trial oversight committees had the sense to check if there was any evidence of harm in their primary data.

https://www.recoverytrial.net/news/recruitment-to-the-recove...

> ‘On Saturday 23 May, the independent Data Monitoring Committee conducted an urgent review of the data that we have collected so far on the effects of hydroxychloroquine on mortality among patients admitted to hospital with COVID-19. The Committee concluded that there is “no cogent reason to suspend recruitment for safety reasons.”

> ‘The Committee found that the effects of hydroxychloroquine on mortality reported in the analysis by Mehra were not consistent with those observed in the RECOVERY Trial. The Committee therefore recommended that the trial continue recruitment without interruption, a recommendation that was endorsed on Sunday by the MHRA.

It's an interesting dynamic.

I spent 25 years telling people to "get out of my photos" in landscapes. Then something clicked in 2008 and I became all about people (to the point of running a Wedding/Event/Portrait photography business for a decade or so:).

I'll still take landscape photos, and I enjoy them, and some of them are decent... but I still get most excited when I capture a particular expression on a person these days. Go figure!
Is that really true? The rich mostly put their money in the growth instruments like debt and equities. Someone needs to invest in businesses. Diverting the money presently sitting in investments towards spending would break the current system.
Ugh. I'm so disappointed in this whole situation. Feels like Theranos.

I want to cover my eyes and ears for the media and political shit show that's going to come from this. It's true that a certain politician shouldn't be trumpeting unproven treatments, but the media seemed to celebrate when that politician was "proven" wrong. Did we forget that we should all be rooting for treatments to work?

I hoped during this pandemic science would move fast and sacrifice some accuracy for speed. But I didn't expect (a seemingly) complete fabrication could go so far with so many eyes. Now I worry the overreaction toward accuracy-over-speed will cause significant slowdowns in published data.

We shouldn't over-punish honest mistakes when we value speed over accuracy... but this just feels awful. Would think prison is likely to come.

HCQ was not even remotely controversial until Trump tweeted about it.

Our institutions have lost their collective minds with their spiteful, childish hatred for a politician. Academia and news media have completely lost sight of objectivity.

We're getting onto our own slippery territory here.

If I let someone into my living room, and that person makes political statements I don't like, I'm free to ask them to leave and not come back, or tell other people in my living room that I think the statements are factually incorrect.

If Facebook lets someone onto their website, and that person makes political statements Facebook doesn't like, why can't Facebook ask them to leave and not come back, or tell other people on Facebook that Facebook thinks the statements are factually incorrect?

Where do you draw the line between my living room, where I'm free to regulate who my visitors are and what those visitors can say, and Facebook?
It’s a protest! You want someones attention. What good would it do to shout slogans in some hick town in the middle of nowhere. Of course You want to go somewhere where someone actually notices. So people protesting out of state/town/county makes perfect sense to me.

That said, completely agree that narrative around ‘trouble makers coming out of town’ was overblown and likely put out to take attention away from real issues at hand.

Automation is a drop in the ocean compared to the effects of trade agreements that resulted in jobs being exported.
This is the same as the people who complained that Amazon never turned a profit for many years. But it wasn't because they weren't making money per unit, it was because they were spending it all and then some on expansion.

If you make profitable cars and you want to make profitable cars and trucks then you spend all your car profits building a truck factory. In cash-based accounting that looks like losing money right up until the point that it turns into making twice as much.
IIRC, the cars all all numbered, though. It's just part of the paint job. I think this video shows cars 1921 and 1929.

The car numbering should definitely be more prominent, though, and I don't see the harm with putting it one the plates, as well.
I am currently building my first website in Laravel. In the past I've just done WordPress. I was surprised at how much work went into styling the forms, both of general aesthetics and accessibility.

A great tip was to use an appropriately colored shadow for focus and errors in the forms. It improved legibity a lot.
To the comments suggesting preprint servers as the solution, it's worth remembering that they are subject to much higher levels of noise, especially at high volume times like now.

In early April, my co-authors and I were planning to submit a computational COVID manuscript (I was the first author). The journals were overrun with COVID submissions, and required preprint submission. This was a sticking point for my co-authors, who felt they had a much bigger paper on their hands given more time, and were opposed to a preprint submission. Personally, I was in favour of the preprint, since I felt we had hit the upper limit of what could be achieved with our collective resources. The other authors disagreed, and outvoted me to bring in a big name author who could steam roll his way into a reputable journal. The only way they could tempt a big name scientist would be to offer up the first author credit, so I bowed out.

At the time, there were 4,500 preprints dealing with COVID, which just seems bonkers. Honestly, even most of the published work around COVID is of poor quality.
Facebook is only in this tone-deaf quagmire because they got in the business of censoring at all.

Now they created the expectation for them to choose and they said no.

The insider trading argument was proven to be nonsense. He had a <$5000 interest in a mutual fund that fractionally owns the drug manufacturer . For multi-millionaire to care about this would be like dumpster diving for pennies.

If anything the drug magically curing coronavirus would make the entire stock market, and his re-election chances, go up dramatically, so there is no need to look for an insider trading argument when plain old wishful thinking/stupidity explains it all.

Open source is heavily decentralized, see the classic paper The Cathedral and the Bazaar. An enterprise (whether profit-seeking or non-profit) is a 'cathedral' by definition, hence they will always be burdened by the constraints of "office"-like work.
It would be difficult to arrange that price-point. Once you've told someone they have unlimited use, they're going to reserve it 24/7, at which point you need to be charging them the full lease-price plus your margin.
We don't need the metrics ourselves to have common sense:

1. Facebook's job as a corporation is to make money

2. Making money for FB is largely based on MAU

3. Playing politics and censoring the chosen world leaders of large portions of their user base is a probable way to lose those users, and thus, money
Yeah the 1st study was deficient in several ways (low n, questionable criteria), which at one point, as a work in progress in an emergency situation was understandable, and was caught early by the community.

Another very different thing is to misrepresent the source of the data, or worse.

Look at meetups, social groups, conferences that serve underrepresented communities (both locally and nationally).

You should be looking because diversity of experience and opinion helps you build a more well-rounded product that your users can empathize with. Alternative and comprehensive perspectives will only help your group thrive and expand their reach as well as build a sense of community and culture on your teams.
And yet, if you look at the actual mortality rate of hospitalized patients, the US has actually done relatively well compared to many other countries.

Where did I defend Trump's tweets? Where did I say it was OK for him to give false and misleading medical advice? Obviously he should NOT. HAVE. DONE. THOSE. THINGS. I think you're wearing your bias on your sleeve a bit too much. I get it, you hate him too. That's fine. But it's blinding you just like it did whoever let this garbage pass muster.

Just because Trump does a thing that is despicable doesn't mean we give everyone else a pass too.
(Note: I get the sarcasm) A lot of valid points here, I think the problem is in the size of the platform for the message. There was a lot of self reflection by Vox over the last year about “yes shining a light on bad ideas can disinfect them but there is a danger in amplifying the message”. Sure every idea should be able to be voiced but should every idea be amplified to billions of people without context?

My photos are similarly uninteresting, but this is something you can train for. You don't have to be born with this skill.

Photography courses teach basic composition skills that you have to know -- that is, if you follow them blindly you'll get decent and non-boring photos -- and then you can develop your style by selectively subverting them. I suppose getting your own style is about breaking the rules to get more "interesting" and unique photos.
Could you back that up with data? I'm curious to know by how much and how you reached that conclusion.
> The most egregious lie peddled by the media is the "Very Fine People" statement, which, is claimed to be a reference to white supremacists, when in fact in he clarifies in the very speech, "and I am not talking about the white supremacists, they should be condemned totally"

This is silly. For one, news outlets did report his statement in full - perhaps not in the headline, but they did give his full statement in the articles. However, you're leaving out that he made a statement a few hours after the attack the condemned bigoty and violence "on many sides". He only ever issued a clarification days later due to the outcry against him not condemning the literal neo-nazis and white supremacists.

Second, you're also leaving out the fact that he goes on to clarify that the "good people" he's talking about were the ones there the night before, at the explicitly white-nationalist torch rally[1] on August 11th, where they chanted nazi and white-nationalist slogans. The idea that anybody there constitutes "good people" or that not all of them were white-supremacists is absolutely ridiculous.

The American Revolution produced first a weak Continental Congress under the Articles of Confederation, then changed their government in 1787 and the new constitution and... well, the most substantive change to that government was the 12th amendment that changed the electoral college procedures.

Compare this to France, which went like this (not counting the smaller regimes):

* Absolute monarchy (ancien regime)

* Constitutional monarchy (until Louis XVII flees)

* First Republic

* First Empire (Napoleon seizes power)

* Constitutional monarchy

* Constitutional monarchy #2 (July Monarchy)

* Second Republic

* Second Empire (different Napoleon seizes power)

* Third Republic (only because the monarchists couldn't decide on which branch to restore, and agreed to a republic until one of the contenders died... who took an awfully long time to do so)

* Vichy France (after the Fall of France)

* Free French government-in-exile

* Fourth Republic

* Fifth Republic (the one we're on today)

Quite a stark contrast.

>This seems like a political piece

Politics is the study of how power is distributed in a society. By definition, almost everything you could discuss involves politics.

Complaining that something is "political" usually means "I have everything I need with regards to power distribution in society, why are you wasting my time talking about what you want?"
Trump's behavior does not justify the media attempting to tell me what to think by misrepresenting nearly everything with deliberate spin. This isn't about white knighting, this is about holding the media accountable for it's total lack of objectivity. The media should not be choosing sides or telling people what to think.

In fact Trump merely tweeted that HCQ was promising - what was far more dangerous was the spin from the media and subsequent rush to show that HCQ was dangerous/ineffective.
