I trust it is reversed. left trust some concept and fighting for it, extreme guys never changed.(e.g., don't kill cute animals!!) right build a perfect model for exist world, and fight for keep it. scientists work for find new theory -- it is a new concept, look so good! so scientists will move towards left, when they find theory do not work, they go back to mid. but sometimes they will walk too far to back...
That "vaccine granted immunity" was a big one, it rapidly became less symptoms, and from that surreptitiously changed again to well you'll still have a week of feeling like shit if you catch covid, but you'll be less likely to die from it.

Then there's whatever percent of vaccinated that would have allowed the fabled reopen, we engaged trough most of these metrics, and we're still far from normalcy.

Heck my vaccine passport has a very clear, very bold expiry date on it, talk of normalcy are nonsense.

Oh and there's that "let's not tell peasants masks are useful as not to cause shortages to professionals." Maybe warranted, given what happened with hoarders and toilet paper, but still definitely a lie.

> I almost feel like people are siding with the anti-vaxxers out of "principle".

I know I am. As someone with 2 shots that sympathizes quite a lot with the people who are commonly and ridiculously maligned as "anti-vaxxers", as though their position is even remotely similar to the people that term accurately described pre-2020, this will make my people dig their heels in even more. Good.

Sunshine is the best disinfectant, remember? Democracy dies in darkness, remember? The left has morphed into a censorious dictatorship that castigates anyone who doesn't think specific thoughts and punishes wrongthink by making pariahs out of those who wronglythink it. This is just a prominent example of the same authoritarian movement expressed through the burgeoning hegemony of big tech. Shit like this doesn't convince anyone, we'll just leave you to fester in your echo chamber, oblivious as you are to the fact that we'll be festering in our own.

Speaking of which, this announcement doesn't bother me at all. Youtube is over, it's just corporate sponsored tepid garbage at this point. It's not interesting anymore because creators aren't permitted to speak freely - not just w/r/t COVID. We are already moving to platforms where free expression is allowed and supported, and I hope Google does even more to hasten the exodus.

Yeah, I started going "well, time to look at the rest of the ecosystem for the Next Thing" with Hooks.

Given requirements that meant, to progress, they were going to need to either:

1) Tell devs that sometimes they would simply have to use classes/objects for some components, because certain performance enhancements or state-management would only be available there, or;

2) Partially re-implement objects with really bizarre declaration syntax, in a language that already has objects—shit, its functions are objects, and maybe it's changed but I read the hooks code when it was added and it was just some FIFO property/method queues, rather than tables, tied to a damn object representing your component in React's core state-machine;

They chose #2.

[EDIT] yes I'm aware that one reason they prominently gave for hooks was that inheritance hierarchies could cause problems in React codebases, but that seems woefully insufficient as a motivation for writing a crippled version of objects/classes that lack the features they had problems with, rather than just telling people "maybe stop hitting yourself?" and continuing to use what the language already provided, which everyone already understood.

So the second-order effects of YouTube banning content, as you point out, are interesting and hard to predict. The question is should fear of second order effects prevent YouTube from taking action towards a desired first order effect?

For some context, prior to Youtube changing the algorithm, flat earth videos basically created the modern flat earth movement [1]. It's likely that this effect can go the other way, too.

I like to think that people are less drawn to conspiracy theories etc. when they are socially well-connected. The trouble about the pandemic is that there is a negative feedback loop: we have these socially isolating restrictions because there is a deadly virus, and one reason the virus remains unchecked is, in part because a subset of socially isolated people are drawn to misinformation.

That's traditionally a very difficult defense; it's often tried as a Hail Mary, but rarely succeeds.
I did a brief parse of that site, and it's the standard crank spiel about anything vaguely pharmaceutical (plus some "Great Reset" dogwhistling and bloviating about America's founding fathers). He even threw in a Sherlock Holmes quote; how can I argue with that?

Yes, pharmaceutical companies are bad. They're so bad that it's a trite and tired observation to base conspiracy theories on. Nothing written therein changes the fact that the shot is free for you and produces improved healthcare outcomes. The US government already spends hundreds of billions of dollars keeping people alive after decades of damaging their bodies; paying a few billion more for some vaccines is hardly worth a global conspiracy.
I've always thought that governments should do this to fund the arts in general, and political campaigns. Some of your taxes directed to the recipients of your choice. In the case of the arts, it would of course be a floor, but in the case of political contributions, it could be a ceiling.

It’s pretty clear the $84k was for the art and the ~$7k was for the expenses to create the art.

I guess I don't know why this would be an issue - you just pick an area that uses buried power lines, and there are plenty of them. And ignoring that - if you're Intel building a fab, you setup shop near one of the major transmission lines that run well above the treeline. Or build your fab just down the street from the power plant...

People die needlessly because they aren't treated in hospitals because the hospitals are too full with people with covid. The ends justify the means. Vaccination mandates are nothing new and covid justifies it so that life can go on again. We are not only throwing people under the bus who are horribly misinformed (imo misinformation is a euphemism) but also those who are immunocompromised and those I talked about earlier who can't get treatment for anything else.

Prices are pretty well modeled using Brownian motion. Most economists should know this while almost no one in the normal population will be aware of it. Sometimes people are just lucky, but overall the more trades you make the more you'll converge on the average return rate.

I would also like to note, that predicting price is different from predicting an overall increase in the value of the underlying security.

> He said that masks wouldn't be helpful march 08 2020. A month layer New York had a thousand detected covid deaths a day, so people really should have started to wear masks march 08 2020 since deaths lags infections by about a month.

I don't see how that is necessarily a lie. It could have been the best public health recommendation he could make at the time based on the available information. Research into how best to use masks is ongoing, so I would not expect today's masking recommendations to be the same as tomorrow's.

My contention is only indirectly with the safety of the system, and mostly with the labeling and messaging. A cruise control system that is unsafe to leave unattended but isn't called "Fully Self-Driving" or even "Autopilot" is fine. There's no ambiguity. Everyone knows that cruise control is a dumb system that will happily crash you into the wall.

However, I have issues with calling and marketing something "Fully Self-Driving" and then adding paragraphs of text to explain that it's actually not fully autonomous, in fact it's not supposed to be autonomous at all and the driver has to have their full attention on the road and hands on the wheel and any other operation is dangerous. If this was something benign, I'd just consider it disingenuous and shady marketing (that seems par for the course for corporations), but in case of a 2 ton vehicle it's not just their own customers at risk, but everyone around them.

Yes, you and me know what this system really is and can approach it responsibly. But we see so much evidence that there are many people who have no scruples about ignoring this (willfully or not) and assuming that the system must be good enough if it's called "Fully Self-Driving" to unpack a lunch on their lap.
> demonstrates that your judgement about what is a bad motive for entering a scientific field itself involves a value judgement.

Yes, I judge people who try to corrupt our view of science. I never denied that.

> our concern for bad motives is separate from the question of whether science if value-laden (which it is)

Science having value is exactly why I don't want people to corrupt it. If you agree with me that science has value then you should agree that we should try to stop people from corrupting it.

If you argue that we can't judge who is corrupting, then I'd argue that you are so out there on the clouds with your definitions that we could just as well argue that a random youtube commenter is also doing science and that is a good thing and that we can't really say that youtube commenters are worse scientists than the people at universities since that is just a value judgement.

Considering there are not FDA approved treatments that have gone through clinical trials, this is in fact true, and should be treated as such until this changes.

If we want recreational use, just legalize for recreational use rather than backdoor the medical system. This would unclog a criminal justice system, reduce police encounters, and a host of other benefits that I think are desirable.

He has until January to return it. Although he broke the terms of the contract, the museum seems happy enough with the results so far - so long as he actually returns the money, it sounds like everything will be fine and non-scummy.

Fucking good.
I once worked for a company that prohibited anyone working there from providing employment references (out of a fear of exposing the company to legal liability). Yet when they were hiring, they still asked candidates for them, and treated it as a red flag if they couldn't get them. I thought that was awfully cheeky.
> The museum contracted him to reproduce a particular piece of art, which Haaning did not do.

He did make art fulfilling the concept that was discussed. The museum director said as much and it sounds like the art will still be exhibited.

The problem is that the museum loaned out materials to make the art and the artist did not return those materials. It’d be like if you let a handyman borrow some of your tools, and they completed the job and took your tools.
Good point, I’ll add that to my list.
the lack of a strong public health response to the hiv epidemic was certainly NOT based from a place of respecting the rights of those who engaged in minority sexual behaviors, but the complete opposite - the mainstream culture didn’t particularly care if they, or intravenous drug users, lived or died.

Question for those who have done something like this in the past: how do you balance between the multiple jobs? I only have one and it's already a fight to not have it eat up all my personal time (I am arguably terrible at setting boundaries but still) so how do you not end up neglecting the "boring" job of the two?

> Significant non-deadly outcomes are another story (permanent lung damage, loss of taste, ect)

Is there credible, non-censorious evidence that the vaccine reduces these particular risks? This is the same argument that we keep seeing: you have to take this vaccine because ${thing that vaccines normally do but this one hasn't been shown to do}. The most egregious example is "provide immunity"/"improve outcomes for anyone around you". I just don't believe a word of it until I see the science.
> But it's something like 1 in 17,000. 1 in 500 Americans have died from covid.

This is true but misleading. You need to account for age as the primary factor that determines the risk exposure.

Edit: Surprised that someone downvoted this. Care you explain what you disagree here? I am simply pointing out that it is not straight forward to compare risk levels because they are highly dependent on age.

I like it. They could request the judge that he serves his time inside the museum itself, in a cell prepared just for him where visitors can observe his daily routine. He will not only participate in one of the greatest modern art performances of all time, but he will indeed become the artwork.

I believe I was thinking of my older phone. Tapping the home button, perhaps even the volume buttons, would turn it back on. On my Xs, I have to hold down the power button for a few seconds before it would turn on. I find this a bit more reliable if I want my phone to be off for awhile.
