There are two problems in your understanding.

1. The problem appears when comparing rates. Your counter-argument is assuming we're comparing absolute numbers which is false.

2. The argument about "data fudging" is the other way around. The raw data shows sharply negative effectiveness against symptomatic disease, and the UK HSA then "fudges" the data into showing the opposite using a statistical technique called TNCC - the validity of which is currently under debate, as it relies on an assumption that doesn't seem to be true.

But these mis-understandings aren't really surprising given that you admit you haven't actually bothered to read the links, and instead decided that you already know the answers because of some unrelated discussion to do with US politics. None of the people I've cited are Americans or in the USA so whatever you think did or did not happen in the 2020 election is quite irrelevant.

If software companies ran the government there would be no regulation of any kind. You would think with the complete loss of regulation the government would drastically shrink and become more cost efficient, but on the contrary it would remain just as large.

Perhaps that inefficiency would be partially due to biased hiring. There would be no uniform qualifier for any position or candidate. Everything is an ad hoc decision and literacy is optional. To make those ad hoc decisions feel more informed there could be entire departments devoted to solving this problem with trends and gimmicks.

Perhaps the inefficiency would be due to ineffective education providing candidates with dated skills who write slow bloated products. It doesn’t really matter because employees only need to be minimally efficient to barely qualify their exist and everything else can be contracted out.

When starting a new government initiative, such as building a bridge or defending a country, you don’t need to qualify the expense. Instead you only need to qualify the potential and continuously ask for more money. Hopefully that bridge gets built before the seed money runs out. I guess that’s not much different than the current government and Uber.

Sometimes data is considered when making important decisions, but most often it is ignored in favor of familiar legacy conventions until there is a lawsuit. Fortunately the government would be much better at shielding itself from any kinds of lawsuits or transparency using Section 203 and DMCA as shining examples.
I never had a wired in-ear earphone that lasted more than 2 years. My guess is 90% didn’t pass the one year mark. I use it while commuting, going to the supermarket, cleaning the house, etc.

Any recommendation of a wired in-ear earphone that could last a decade?
Came here to say something similar. Common swifts are amazing. Quoting Wikipedia:

> Except when nesting, swifts spend their lives in the air, living on the insects caught in flight; they drink, feed, and often mate and sleep on the wing. Some individuals go 10 months without landing. No other bird spends as much of its life in flight. Contrary to common belief, swifts can take flight from level ground. Their maximum horizontal flying speed is 111.6 km/h. Over a lifetime they can cover millions of kilometers.

Oh well, let's see it from a different perspective, then everything would be much simpler and clearer. The government can actually make housing a lot cheaper but why would it do so?
Just take a look at the budget sheets, you will find out that the government is one of biggest if it's not the biggest one of the beneficiaries from the property boom. By making housing more expensive, it can collect more land/property taxes. If it cannot hike the tax rates easily, the evaluation hikes anyway. By printing more money, it dilutes its liabilities. Almost all the governments have been printing money for decades now, but they claimed there were not enough inflations, really? There seemed to be no severe inflation simply because of the methods used to calculate the inflation rates were biased. Indeed groceries' prices did not raise much, but how about the assets and/or properties? The economy is a dynamic system and can compensate by reducing non-essential expenditures to maintain essentials. But doesn't matter how flexible a system is, it still has a limit which no one really knows what it would be. We are pretty close to a tipping point if we are not already at it. The reason is pretty simple, any system with only positive feedback, doesn't matter how small the positive feedback is, is eventually going to crash as it requires more and more resource as input so that it can maintain the output. When it hits the hard limit, boom...
"I" can doubt but we can all most likely get many millions of people plus some monkeys and other species to more or less agree that there is a rock with very much the same characteristics. That's a good enough description of the rock in my book.

Which is what gets said almost routinely, yet companies are still calling employees back to the office and we're not centralized enough to fight this without some heavy repercussions. Or worse, the majority just doesn't care enough to fight it and continues to invest into this ratrace.

This is even worse considering half these companies love to market their environmental campaigns, social responsibility and whatever, and then they conveniently forget or sidestep the obvious solution.

For me "being cheap" is a derogatory term used by those that have some interest in making you buy more expensive variants when you don't need them. Many "cheap" people are reasonable folks that make purchases for a defined value for money, not just what the marketing departments dictate.

As you said, headphones are basically a commodity. But when the press reports cases of people having anxiety about losing airpods, for me it's a clear sign something went wrong.
Of COVID, yes. There are potential problems with these stats too, but the problem I'm trying to tackle here is that people are mis-stating what seems to really be happening with actual infection rates and making invalid comparisons to things like seatbelts.

For the analogy to hold true seatbelts would have to double your chances of actually crashing your car, and also sometimes randomly kill people who hadn't crashed at all (vaccine injuries are a real thing and excess death is now elevated for non-COVID reasons). Clearly the tradeoffs involved here are quite different and statistics need to be used very carefully to assess them.
>>and handle them well enough.

I would argue they DO NOT handle them well enough at all, and I have a feeling that if the person on trial had a different political affiliation you would also be claiming they do not.

Courts routinely get technology wrong, and use this the send innocent people to prison all the time. I would say the courts get technology related evidence wrong more than they do correct.
Given that everything we experience in this life is through our consciousness, equating depression to a shift in consciousness isn't heavy lifting. This is an association where I would like to see some hard science backing the link between our conscious experience and the underlying function of our wetware, the brain.

As far as subjective experience, I've witnessed myself slowly slip into a depression toward the end of a relationship I knew wasn't going to pan out. I couldn't put my finger on it at the time, but I slowly remembered sex becoming less enjoyable with my ex, the pull of my hobbies less exciting and rewarding, my global outlook on life and the vibrancy of my future becoming more dim and... depressing. This was anhedonia, the inability to feel pleasure. I felt like I was wading through a dark cloud. The ability to smile organically through enjoyable interactions and activities all but disappeared, or at the very least, felt forced and somewhat "empty", like I was a poor actor. I had to give a best man's speech around this time and was shocked to hear how monotone my voice had been while delivering the speech.

Throughout all of this, I more or less kept the same routines. I was spending more time alone but still managed to schedule time with friends, I kept working out, and never slipped into a dark hole.. but I'm not ashamed to say I wasn't able to solve it alone, in fact the shift was so subtle that by the time I had become aware of what conscious state had become, I was dismayed to find that I was already doing what most people recommend to get out of a depression - stay active, spend time with friends and family, spend time in nature, exercise, etc. Which leads me to what ended up working... therapy.

I can't say I've had any major trauma's in my life aside from losing my father as a teenager, but talking over my life with a therapist helped me come across some events that triggered me emotionally to revisit, and over several weeks I started to feel the cloud of anhedonia lifting and started to enjoy life as it appeared to me again. The major conclusion being the functioning of the subconscious mind on our conscious experience plays more of a role than I expected.

YMMV, but if you are experiencing depression, consider therapy.. this is coming from someone who was already experienced in the trendiest news grabbing headlines for treating depression before I realized I had become depressed, including meditation and psychedelics.
You're begging the question; the fact that regular people are taxed on their gross income while the rich get to be taxed only on their profits is a big injustice in the first place. But on top of that: that rental properties are usually an investment that grows in value, so that's where a lot of the expenses you mentioned actually go, but they're deductible as business expenses; unrealistically high depreciation is also often deductible.

Well you see at one time in history colonials came to America, killed and genocided the original land dwellers, kidnapped, raped and enslaved people to work on land furthering their profits, passed on their stolen land and wealth through generations while segregating various groups impacted by their transgressions, and to this day ask questions like you. All the while, many of them own multiple properties, have a plethora of unused land, continually abuse their positions as landlords, drive up housing prices to prices that are not affordable, and try to ensure that land is no longer available to settle for those who are simply looking for the basic necessities of safe shelter in life without trying to find ways to continue to exploit those they consider weak.
You just proved my point. Yes, the return is higher, but subtract all the costs and the stock market is ahead.
It certainly helps to make housing more affordable.
Not a native speaker either, so take this with a grain of salt. I read it as acting promptly, staying ahead of the problem, do not postpone remedial action.

This is the one that I remember watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=826HMLoiE_o. Not exactly 24 hours though.
In many neighborhoods in California, unless you are a serious cyclist, you genuinely run the risk of being run off the road by a driver in some areas, and will absolutely be yelled at or honked at if you take your "bicycle" (E-Bike or otherwise) onto the road with other vehicles. In 5+ years living in Redwood City, I rarely ever saw what I would call "Utility Cyclists" (Just some person trying to get to their job, or get to the grocery store) ever ride a bicycle on the road.

Ann Arbor changed the law to make this legal: http://www.annarbor.com/news/bicyclists-dilemma-ride-on-the-....

And recently for E-Bikes as well:
https://www.mlive.com/news/ann-arbor/2021/09/ann-arbor-movin....

And yes, I know that California law states that bicycles have to be on the road, but that doesn't reflect reality. And, in fact, at least in Redwood City, I never once (In 5 years of walking every day, and seeing dozens of cyclists every day) saw a police officer cite a cyclist for riding on the sidewalk - though, that isn't the case in Southern California, where I read an NYT article that people of color are routinely stopped/searched for doing so - in much the same way people are cited in some cities for "Jay Walking" - which is a universally accepted behavior in other cities.

But, one thing I think you and I can agree on, that cyclists on the sidewalk have to show the utmost in courtesy to pedestrians, and not go racing along at high (> 8mph or so) speeds - essentially occupy the same speed as your typical jogger might. Also, another topic we might agree on - Bicycle Lanes just make things safer for everyone, cyclist and pedestrian alike.

This discounts the power of investing on margin because loans are easily available to people. And it makes sense, because people are more likely to pay back a loan on their home then on a stock.

Ah yes, the “an anecdote is not data”.

Probably the identifier of the article. A long time ago, we used to use auto-incremented positive integers straight from the database instead of UUID or adjective-adjective-noun.
Come now, you're reaching. The defence attorney specifically claimed that "iPads, which are made by Apple, have artificial intelligence in them that allow things to be viewed through three dimensions and logarithms." and "[The iPad] uses artificial intelligence or their logarithms to create what they believe is happening. So this isn't actually enhanced video; this is Apple's iPad programming creating what it thinks is there, not what necessarily is there."

Aside from the confusion about logarithms, where I presume he meant algorithms, and the false claim about 3D, the defence was making a claim about artificial intelligence being used to upscale the footage. Which is inaccurate, and a specific claim being made that's unsupported by any evidence.

Funny enough, the same sort of question arose with regard to a crime scene image that was enlarged by the state's forensic lab, but a simple explanation of the mechanism used was deemed sufficient.

They aren't though, unless you start adding specifically tailored constraints like the run should happen in a very hot place.

A trained horse can cover 100+ miles per day with a rider, a husky can run 100+ miles in a sledge, and they will probably outpace humans. Not to mention that only a tiny fraction of humans can even finish a marathon, which is no big deal for most wolves or horses.

And camels and maybe ostriches will probably outrun us in hot climate as well (but that I didn't check).
countless plant and animal species have evolved and died out throughout the history of life on Earth

I find myself writing at least 5-10 times as much code compared to Python/Django. With the Django ORM once you design your models you already have at least 80% of the logic for a CRUD REST API, form validation, CRUD admin interface (if you want that), and you can easily integrate all sorts of third party features for almost no effort. Migrations are a bit saner because of the App separation, data migrations are a possible.

The film technology 50 years ago was not racist. The people who designed that film technology didn't care enough to put the effort into developing film technology that could discern multiple shades of darker skin tones. It is not direct racism like actively trying to take away a black person's right to vote. It is indirect racism of not caring enough about black people to try to make film record their skin tones better. Once the furniture and chocolate industry showed up with the money to have brown tones recorded better on film suddenly Kodak was interested.
A zooming or scaling algorithm that only uses available image data is deterministic, it should get the same result every time.

One that relies on a neural network trained on other images is not, it might produce a subtly different image each time it's run and introduce artefacts from other images.
Yes, it's in python :)

Curious, how is it applicable?
> You can't zoom without upscaling in some form.

Of course you can, by having the image originally be displayed downscaled for instance. The back camera of your average phone has a much higher resolution than its display, or most computer displays for that matter.
