There was no significant difference in COVID deaths in places that did draconian shutdowns and the places that did not. Not in Florida, not in Sweden, not anywhere else.

Fine, we didn't know what COVID could do, and maybe it was prudent to be cautious. Rushing vaccines through certification is the opposite of that though.

And lastly there is the tale of massive corruption. A certain Ursula bought so many vaccine doses they could last a century if they had no expiration dates. These were bought with money that could have gone to much better uses than lining Pfizer's pockets. The same kind of corruption happened stateside too, it's just that the "free media" happened to stay mum.

Well now you're just quibbling about the amount; it seems you do agree that SpaceX can be valued. You just don't agree with the <1 multiple the GP suggested. So ok, how about a 4x multiple? 8x? Whatever! Private companies can be valued; it's done every day. SpaceX is not an exception here.

Musk can say he's going to colonize Mars or mine asteroids, but the markets are perfectly capable of deciding on how likely (or unlikely) it is that he'll succeed, and price accordingly.

Colonizing Mars is a money-loser. It could completely tank the company. What business model involves colonizing Mars and then making a profit off that?

Mining asteroids is something we're so far away from that it's not worth baking in at that point. With current technology, it's far, far, far cheaper just to mine on Earth, even for things that are relatively rare.

Every day we get new affirmation of the incompetence and malice of the Trump administration. The people in charge of the futures and lives of millions, such as RFK, don’t have public welfare or health in the front of their minds. Nor can they admit their own ignorance or acknowledge mistakes.

Asking one side to have an honest intent to understand and consider positions that have no basis in fact or reality or scientific method amounts to asking scientists to have an open mind about astrology, Ouija boards, and repeatedly discredited junk science. Of the two possibilities — RFK et al. know something the rest of us don’t about disease and vaccines, or he knows nothing and suffers from egomania — I think the evidence speaks for itself.

Dr. Fauci and others may have made mistakes, but they can admit to their mistakes in the face of enormous pressure to act and save lives. They didn’t make mistakes out of colossal stupidity, ignorance, and drug abuse.

> If you use a Gmail account to sign in to Fitbit, you must also move to a Google Account.

Don't have a Fitbit but if I received this message, I would be puzzled. Is a "Gmail account" not a "Google Account"? I have a gmail account because it's more or less required by an android phone. Is that not a "Google Account"? If not, how would I go about getting a "Google Account" if I wanted one for some reason?

Maybe this is all explained behind the "Learn more" link (at least I assume that's a link in the original), but... that is not my general experience with communications from Google.

And why is "account" capitalized in "Google Account" but not in "Gmail account"?

An acquaintance of mine works for Microsoft. Every time I meet him, he always tells me how much money hey makes. I'm sure it's double of what I earn when I have a good year. A big part of me wants to earn that money, too. But an unwavering part of me knows, I could never work for Microsoft.

You can get half-written files in many other circumstances, eg on power outages, storage failures, hw caused crashes, dirty shutdowns, and filesystem corruption/bugs.

Comparitively there are far more North Indians, Kannadians and Tamils in the IT world.

The bias in much of western media is largely driven by White-Muslim politics in places like Europe, which in turn is driven by corruption from the far-left in various forms (including politicians from places like South Asia and Palestine, and I am not saying that there aren't right wing corruption as well). And yes, a lot of those left-wing politcians who claim to be representiving disadvantaged people are corrupt and creating tension for political gain.

The fact is that much of the progressive politics in South Asia just doesn't fit the narratives being built up by the left-wing in the western world.
In a slightly different reality, most members might reasonably vote no if it was deemed too costly for the organization's budget, or if the champion of the project was seen as unreliable, or if there were genuine concerns with the chosen contractor. Some of these could change after a short bit -- a sudden funding source appears, a different leader of the project steps up, or they address concerns with the contractor bid.

> > For 10 years now, we’ve been hearing how hysterical the predictions about Trump’s actions are. And then he does them.

> We've been hearing hysterical things about every Republican candidate for at least 30 years. Nothing ever happens.

I think you replied to something you made up to avoid replying to the actual thing. It was that in case of Trump apparently there is a history of ppl saying "surely it is joke and president would never do that" but then the president does exactly that. Not about hysterical things talked about US presidents.

After many cases where he said "I'll do that" then people like you said "no that's insane he's not going to do that don't worry" and then he does it, a sane person should assume that maybe he talks without thinking but then he sticks to what he blurted. And those things include attacking allies bordering with USA

So it can be up to USA military to uphold constitution or do what president says.
> Oligarchy is generally how people who don't deserve wealth can get it.

No that's just one of it's outcomes. The proper definition would be "a small group of people having control of a country, organization, or institution."

> that doesn't exactly apply to the world's (already) richest man.

Given the appropriate definition and his involvement in owning not only a social media company but also having a role in federal government policy and now apparently investigations I am completely baffled by your assertion.

> And who exactly would you look for to help the federal government build

I figured someone would summon this fallacy. He has acquired wealth. This does not demonstrate any skill in spending tax payer money efficiently in a regulated environment. This is particularly true if you're willing to assume that oligarchy played some part in his acquisition in the first place.

> if not someone who has built multiple successful businesses

He likes to call himself a founder. Of business that already existed and he purchases a controlling share in. It's amazing that people accept this distortion of reality.

> managing costs and outlays at impressive scale

Presumably he has people on the payroll who do this. I imagine that the entire financial success of these companies is not down to a single person. How does he find time to do anything in a day?

I imagine the federal government could, you know, just do the same thing. Hire qualified professionals to do the job?

> Not sure that tracks.

Outside of the reality distortion field that some people willingly occupy it most certainly does.
The value of something only matters if there's a market for it, and people can bid on it. Musk just made up a number he liked and said it out loud.
At least apps have to ask permissions for notifications now, and you can deny it outright from the start. In years prior I remember trying to hack things with Tasker and extensions, but it's just not needed to nearly the same degree now.

And if the app is good, it will categorize it's notification types in a user-centric way and allow you to enable only specific categories.

DocuSign is in the trust business.

Plain being backed by a for-profit company is also great because projects like Django could use more marketing. Vercel figured this out a long time ago.

Anti-democrat journalists were given extensive access by Musk to internal files at Twitter and the best they could come up with is finding that the Biden campaign was sending emails with links to posts they believed were against Twitter terms of service, and Twitter employees then checked the posts, discussed internally, and usually agreed they should take those down. Some of the examples of tweets taken down by this process by the anti-Biden journalist were investigated by others and found to be pictures of Biden's son naked from his laptop. And the Trump presidency was also sending similar reports doing with the same results.

So the worse that Musk's personally selected journalists could find was a special process that political figures from both parties had where their abuse reports were getting prioritized.

Agree on the point of Dehradun, as for the number of MLA's, that is due to the growing concerns of the native Pahadi population. The plain regions of Uttarakhand have been settled by desi people in recent decades and due to the difference in population density and fertility rates, their population is growing more and more. Now the Pahadi people have genuine concerns that everything they fought for during the Uttarakhand Movement will go to waste. And this is already happening, the finance minister of Uttarakhand abused pahadi people in the Vidhan Sabha, thankfully due to many protests, he has resigned. But if plain regions get majority seats, it would give approx 18% of UK the right to govern the entire region!

I really don't understand what that's supposed to explain, then. Your explanation doesn't change the overall data: some racial demographics are overrepresented in violent crime statistics. If controlling for socioeconomic status eliminates the racial variation, all that really says is that the demographics that are overrepresented in the violent crime statistics are the same demographics that are overrepresented among lower socioeconomic statuses.

So... There's a correlation between lower socioeconomic status and violent crime? I don't think that's surprising. What it does not do is explain why those demographics are overrepresented in either category.

I also am highly skeptical of "every paper", unless you're specifically going out of your way to only read the ones that confirm your bias.

I've wondered about this for similar reasons. I usually omit the spaces but as I said in an earlier post I'll sometimes include them when I think the typography calls for it or when I want to add extra emphasis.

I've come to the conclusion it boils down to which style manual one follows. I've taken a careful look at numbers of high-end books which no doubt have been carefully typeset and I've found EM dashes with and without spaces.

It seems there is no definitive rule but I might be wrong.
Same thing that happens if you put up any kind of collateral that later becomes worthless: the lender doesn't get their money. That's the risk of collateral.

This is why mortgage lenders require you to maintain insurance on your property: if the house burns down or something, the lender still wants that money. If a house gets destroyed in a way that's not covered by insurance (say, by an earthquake in California, where most people don't have earthquake insurance), then the lender loses their money. (The former homeowner probably stops payments and gets their credit ruined.)
