It's a given that you do not want to contract COVID-19. Vaccination and wearing a mask will help. You also do not want to give COVID-19 to others. Again, vaccination and wearing a mask will help.

How does that explain delta spread being biggest in highly vaccinated countries?

ML has so much potential to help us in healthcare.

We don't need this Guardian low-level analysis scuppering progress in this area because they drop the dirty word of "private" or "profit".

Yes, it needs careful regulation and management on all sides, and a mechanism where patients own their data, but I welcome datasharing in healthcare.

As a Unionist, I really hope you don't.

Scotland, NI, Wales and England are stronger together. Our shared history is to be celebrated and we should pull together in this new chapter, not tear ourselves apart.

I wish you & your family an amazing 2021. Peace.

So what if Angus stood for UKIP? He's entitled to his views. How is that relevant to virus research or his scientific credentials?!

Discord won many people over simply because it was such well written software, and that continues today.

Its proprietary nature has always concerned me too, as well as what they're doing with the data (i.e. assume they're reading & listening to everything).

What they mustn't do is forget how quickly they grew and the underlying concept that enabled it: people will flock to different messaging platforms quite easily (Teamspeak to Discord is a great example) which means Discord can lose just as quickly as it won.

They are eye candy. Just like men are. The problem is when the target (man or woman) is isolated to purely that role.

Do any of those match the definition of [sexism](https://www.google.com/search?q=define+sexism&ie=utf-8&#...)?

> sex·ism > Noun > Prejudice, stereotyping, or discrimination, typically > against women, on the basis of sex.

I bet this is part of the problem: we don't really know how to define (and thus identify) sexism properly.

Reddit, HN, /. and if I am still unsatisfied I check Pocket or my myriad of RSS feeds in Google Reader from which blogs like Jeff Atwood et al

Who the hell gives a shit?!

This is one of countless ways the military carefully shapes the public opinion of the troops. It’s a shameless PR exercise. One of our guys got a Military Cross (a medal for bravery) awarded after he got shot in the bum and continued to fight. His platoon was isolated on a rooftop with no escape for hours, and there was literally nothing else he could do but fight. This does not make him a hero. It makes him a soldier with a sore bum.

Kinda sobering.

Ain't gonna work. Noble, yes, but it'll just push the salary up 'til someone who doesn't care takes the job.

Black on grey, really?!
