Link. Every politician likewise runs for the hills. America is a long way from gender equity.
Monthly Archives: June 2021
“The risks with aducanumab involve brain swelling or bleeding experienced by about 40 percent of Phase 3 trial participants receiving the high dose.”
Link. We STILL have nothing for Alzheimers.
Manchin’s base: “White voters without a four-year degree …. made up 69 percent of voters”
Link. If you want to move Manchin, then move this base. BUT “ Mr. Manchin had just a 33 percent approval rating in October 2020, while 51 percent disapprove of his performance.”
“people with aphantasia don’t do as well as others at remembering details of their own lives“
Link. Maybe why I love my family photo slideshow. Are people with hyperphantasia more prone to false memory?
“The senators secured only limited cooperation from key agencies, including the F.B.I., the Department of Homeland Security, the Justice Department and the House sergeant-at-arms”
Link. Subpoena power needed.
iPhone 6s supported by ios 15?!
Link. That’s crazy. Would not advise.
“number of seated diners during the pandemic relative to those on the corresponding date in 2019.”
Link. We are already back to pre-COVID, despite California being mostly restaurant closed.
“We sat down to wait, too. And then, without warning, the waiting room took off.”
Link. Maciej 2014. Hire him to do more like this.
“whatever value Trump offered to Russia was compromised by his incompetence and limited ability to grasp firm control even of his own government’s foreign policy”
Link. I consider the operation to have been amazingly successful. The House GOP is a Russian asset now.
“firms check for clients’ difficulty navigating security protocols or need for frequent password resets. In such cases, a designated family member might be informed.”
Link. Obvious in retrospect. Your browser knows you are demented.
The fate of the new atheists.
Link. Varying degrees of assholery, ODD, and libido — Pinker caught in the current. Evangelical atheists are much like evangelical theists.
“three guys showed up at the party targeting her 16-year-old nephew.”
Link. A lot of the most stupid and lethal crime in MSP now is by ages 11-16. The price of ending F2F school and sports programs in a society that worships guns.
Zoom effect: “much easier for elected officials to avoid questions and accountability when journalists and concerned citizens aren’t in the room.”
Link. Same for business and creating and anything. We are primates. (Or maybe this is my Oldness talking)
“Biden will have no choice but to put real infrastructure bill up for a vote and simply dare Manchin to vote it down.”
Link. It will fail but yes, the only choice.
“Italygate was among several unfounded conspiracy theories surrounding the 2020 elections”
Link. Unfounded is a variant spelling of lunatic.
“had he not been able to block a great deal of mail-in voting in 2020, Biden would have won Texas.”
Link. That’s quite an admission.
M1racles: M1ssing Register Access Controls Leak EL0 State
Link. I wonder if this somehow contributed to multiuser hard system crashes in Big Sur. Unintended cross-communication.
“politicians will be subject to the same content rules as other users”
Link. Facebook goes to war with the GOP.
“mistake for Apple to ever hook up a company-wide Slack”
Link. “Social business” will succeed when it adopts the Xi model.
“mistake for Apple to ever hook up a company-wide Slack”
Link. “Social business” will succeed when it adopts the Xi model.
“Whereas black Americans were 1.3 times more likely to get infected than white Americans, Hispanic Americans were 2.4 times as likely to catch the virus.”
Link. Very unlikely to be genetic. So something environmental or cultural. Or a data problem. Or all 3.
15 Unmistakable, Outrageously Secret Signs You’re an Extrovert
Link. 2013 classic. Via Conor on Twitter
Aducanumab for alzheimers: “a massive waste of money based on false hopes”
Link. We still have nothing beyond avoid concussions and control vascular disease and maybe exercise.
“the site was attracting fewer visitors than the pet-adoption service Petfinder and the recipe site Delish.”
Link. Maybe the GOP is overestimating Trump’s appeal.
Sinovac experiment shows even modest vaccine can stop COVID.
Link. Impressive. Also, again, our models of this suck.
“But mobile devices are gaining in importance as PCs wane, relatively, and for the web, “mobile’s a disaster.”
Link. Next: CSS was a very bad idea.
“The narrative of stagnant or falling living standards in the neoliberal age is false.”
Link. I would like to do one restricted to non-college.
“In the decade leading up to the pandemic, American companies spent more than $6 trillion to buy their own shares”
Link. Instead of investing in inventory redundancy or cybersecurity. Because we thought giving CEOs share price incentives was a good thing. Machine learning optimizes unexpectedly.
