Not a study or experiment but a "meta-study" where an attempt is made to merge data from many different experiments and form some conclusions. They started with 839 studies and, in the end, used data from only 29 of those studies to draw conclusions.

Two obvious flaws:

1. "All included studies except one (Skipper et al.) were carried out on hospitalized patients". This means all patients got HCQ very late. But the recommended course for HCQ has always been to give it early at first symptoms and to never wait until hospitalization. In the "selected" experiments of this meta-study all patients were hospitalized prior to receiving HCQ, far too late for it to do it's magic.

2. "Mean (SD) age of participants was 62.1 +/- 8.5 years." The patients chosen were near elderly or elderly, those most likely to die from covid.

So they set up a meta-study by cherry-picking experiments having populations of elderly patients who were provided HCQ treatment only after hospitalization. That is, choose the weakest patients who were treated at the last possible moment and include only those patients in your meta-study.

Finally, at the end of their paper they state "Our results suggest that there is no need for further studies evaluating these molecules," In other words, thanks to this meta-study no further studies, not even the "golden standard" randomized controlled trials are required to "know" that HCQ doesn't work! The meta-study's authors see all, know all, and know best even though they haven't done a study or trial nor examined a single patient for this meta-study. The chutzpah of these authors is astonishing!

But just as in the movie "Wizard of Oz" Dorothy is instructed to "Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!" we must ask just who IS the "man behind the curtain"? There is a hell of a lot of money (trillions projected) that wants to put the hush to HCQ so that big pharma can sell us an expensive vaccine! Remember what has happened in the recent past:

The driver is such a small cost in all of this. Contrary to what the media says, drivers are really not making that much for the amount of time they spend in the truck and on the road.

It would be good if an autonomous system could be more of a supporting technology that works with the driver allowing him/her to rest while it takes over on those long interstate segments of a trip. It would definitely save time and money for everyone. Best of all you still have the driver to complete the difficult segments or deal with bad weather and break downs.

> if you're journal is reaching so many people ...

Just to clarify, impact factor measures the average impact of a paper, not the total impact of the journal. In fact, it divides by the number of papers! So it's much easier to have a high impact factor if you're very small, and it's probably not quite the right way to think of whether society should invest resources in something.

(In fact, we technically don't have an IF, just the value that would be an IF if we were bigger. IF isn't officially defined until you reach a certain number of publications a year.)

> wouldn't moving towards more robust and professional editorial staff be beneficial for the large audience? Or do you think there's a benefit too having volunteers?

I think there's two main things.

Firstly, it's just a very difficult transition to make. If we wanted to hire staff, we'd need to find people who were aligned with Distill's vision and wanted to dedicate their carer to it. Hiring is hard! We'd also need to find a reliable funding sources (probably at least 200K/year) that was reliable (we don't want Distill to suddenly disappear!) and dosn't impose negative externalities (like being closed).

Secondly, it's a lot harder to experiment when you're big and have commitments to more people. It's already quite hard for Distill to do weird things now -- a lot of people get annoyed to us, and I feel a visceral pressure to be conservative.

Also, a lot of our ability to do weird things and have beautiful articles comes from expert attention to individual papers. A lot of early Distill papers involved Shan Carter or I spending 50-100 hours mentoring authors and giving them design and writing feedback. There's no model where that make sense at scale.

Not a contradiction.

Imagine a pool of 100 people. The richest person has $100, everyone else has $1.

There's a total of $199, and the richest 1% have more than half the total wealth with $100.

I'm not saying this is the distribution of the real world, but that statement alone is not a contradiction.

The phrase Sinicization of Islam is Xi Jinping's, or at least the CCP's. It does sound grand and oppressive, especially when you consider that it is about more than just a considerate plan to minimize the threat of violent sects of Islam and includes stopping Islamic finance, mosque-run schools, religious Arabic-language schools, and more much worse as we've heard reports of (bits of which are reported in the articles). Sure, these traditions may be vectors for some particular type of violent Islamic ideas to spread, but they are also important parts of many's peaceful faith.

Of course, the CCP has never really tried that hard to pretend they don't see religion as a threat. I mean, it really is a threat to the CCP's ultimate power. And if one doesn't have cultural norms respecting a person's right to peacefully practice religion and traditions, then I guess one wouldn't consider forced re-education camps monstrous. But if one did, then I don't think it would matter if it "works". I won't try and justify American wars or reason about their effectiveness in preventing violence.
> It is truly remarkable how many replies in that thread consist of bad analogies, denials of clear third party reporting, and whatabout-ism.

Verizon sold Tumblr for nothing. They’ve written down the majority of AOL and Yahoo. That attempt of theirs is a failure and Verizon for now has moved on.

Other companies have had similar fates with trying to make media content mini-empires.

Almost all of these bad decision are with hindsight. Though some may be more obvious
- CBS paid too much for Last.FM and CNET’s network of sites that at one point extended pretty far.
- Fox paid too much for MySpace and IGN Whose smaller network of sites extended pretty far too before. Fox sold both off for fractions of their purchase costs.
- NYTimes sold off About.com and didn’t do too much with their other small attempts.

—-

- IAC is the most successful, but they spin off most of their best stuff and so the actual main companies market valuation isn’t too high. Though the not too long ago spun off Match has a higher market cap.

Amazon is fairly successful though how much that has to do with Amazon doing well as well can be debated. They did some ruthless stuff like Diapers.com. IMDB, Box Office Mojo, Goodreads, Twitch, and one or two other purchases have worked out well enough

Comcast’s very small web media sites have fared well enough too until covid hit. Their Fandango umbrella of sites including Rotten tomatoes was doing well.

It’s hard to break into the web in a big way. Especially with being content centric or with niche social media sites.

I think part of the problem is that this "feature" masks the need to properly understand scroll behavior (at least if you only use platforms that auto-hide scrollbars).

Recently, we were doing a bug safari for a new product feature that was about to launch. I noticed that an element had a scrollbar when it shouldn't, and filed a bug. One of the developers picked it up, and first said "not a bug. I don't see it on my computer." I showed him the bug on my machine, and he looked at it for a few minutes before saying "I don't know how to fix it." I pointed out that the overflow-x was set to "scroll" in the CSS for that component, and he could just set it to "auto" to fix the behavior (since the scrollbar should never show up in normal usage of that feature). It turns out that he didn't even know "auto" existed.
> No genocide is intended; assimilation is intended. The goal is not so much to erase any existing cultural identity as to make it subordinate to "Chinese" identity. That includes accepting a healthy helping of Han, but the people defining the goals don't see that, and think of it as accepting "universal values and pro-social habits". The intended assimilation would have the long-term effect of erasure and might meet the UN definition of "genocide"... but that's not really the purpose.

This makes me think of the Native American boarding schools in the US and Canada. They were fairly awful from a human rights perspective and did play a role in genocide, but like what you describe the idea was forced assimilation rather than explicit genocide.
They stupidly placed empty tiles on the map instead of image editing the terrain to erase the camps. In any case, the bases are present on other maps.

No. They were drunks (I was becoming one myself). I told you in the sentence before that once I didn't come to the pub they weren't interested in spending any time with me. That what addicts are like.

This really isn't difficult stuff to understand. The acquaintance relationship only existed because of substance abuse basically. There is no friendship of shared interest outside of that.

I was thinking about writing a rebuttal to everything else you said. But there really isn't much point because you can't even understand this part of social interaction.

It's worse than than that now, the CCP kicked out US Media out of China, and those that tried to relocate to HK were not allowed to do so. Under the security law they could be seen to be dissenters and could be held/detained/jailed for crimes against the State.

This coincides with the CCPs tactics, of even its own Citizens who dare to challenge them, this a rather sad albeit predictable story about its highest scoring soccer player who spoke out against China on Tienanmen this year [1].

Cool. Glad you got it going and are happy with it! You've made my day. :-)

Two points:

- My only hitch you likely won't come across. The LetsEncrypt will need to update the cert every now and again(months?). On my ubuntu VM install there is a cron job for this. But I leave my VM turned off unless I need it, so every now and again I have to "leave it on for longer" and snapshot after it updates the cert.

- two people use might be a special case where it sets up Peer to peer. So you may wish to test with at least three people before using it in anger.

Interesting enough this is essentially what machine-made lace did for hand-made lace. Superficially a luxury product became mass-market available, which massively reduced the cachet of lace. But machine made lace is also drastically inferior to hand made lace.

What I particularly find interesting is that there is a nice correspondence of this in programming language theory where depending on the evaluation strategy the same values are derived differently from a set of expressions i.e. values are computed in different orders and different causality relationships arise (causality in the sense of which expressions cause another expressions to get evaluated e.g. call by value vs call by name) but ultimately you arrive at the same result (or varying the initial “setup” may result in some expression not being evaluated)
345MW for "$1B", which is presumably the delivered cost. Add another $1B for running, insurance, and decommissioning (or show me real numbers).

If Terrapower can actually deliver at roughly those costs, they might make a real contribution to our energy future.
