Stack is lemp with wp for the index, phpbb for the forums.

My first attempt building a community, feedback encouraged. I'm still working some kinks out

No, the burden of proof is on the author. And considering this is a model, not a study, I wouldn't hold my breath on it.

So, the study is funded by groups that admit to existing to sell new vaccines? And you don't see a conflict of interest?

"Apple has always had a good reputation in terms of security. But the company has been reluctant to speak publicly and candidly about specific security incidents."

All I get from this is apple probably has absolutely horrid security and just doesn't disclose incidents. A company with nothing to hide doesn't hide things

What about what I said was "conspiracy bs"? These are the organizations that fund the group. They are invested in vaccine sales, and some of them have very questionable ethics. Again from Wikipedia:

"Public-sector workers and academics public health have criticized GAVI, and other global health initiatives (GHIs) with private-sector actors, saying that they have neither the democratic legitimacy nor the capacity to decide on public health agendas. Private donors often find it easier to exert influence through public-private partnerships like GAVI than through the traditional public sector. There is also criticism that staff at GHIs are often recruited directly from elite educational institutions, and have no experience in health care systems, especially those in poorer countries. Some WHO officials have privately criticized GAVI for infringing and weakening the WHO's mandates"

And that is just a small portion of the issues with that organization. GAVI is an organization that promotes sales of the industry's newest vaccines, not promoting vaccination as a whole.

"In 2012, the first MSF "The right shot" report criticized GAVI for focussing on funding expensive new vaccines and neglecting to give children cheap old ones. "Twenty percent of the world’s children aren’t even getting the basic vaccines", MSF's vaccine policy adviser said.[11] MSF criticized the Global Vaccine Action Plan (GVAP), a WHO global collaboration of which GAVI is listed as a leader, as flawed for failing to help those 20%, which is some 19 million children.[28]"

And this is just complaints against one of the organizations.

From Wikipedia: IHME receives core grant funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation[60] and the state of Washington. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC); Inter-American Development Bank; Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance; the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute; Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Ministry of Health; Medtronic Philanthropy; and the National Institute on Aging have also contributed funding through project grants and contracts.

Billions of dollars from organizations that have billions invested in selling vaccines

Look into the criticism of organizations such as Gavi.

How can you retrospectively test the people who died prior to April? How can you confirm any of the data that was generated by guesswork?

I'm fairly sure there is no tissue available to test from any of those bodies

The situation was ripe for fraud, and there is no way to prove it didn't happen en masse. Human nature suggests it did happen. The evidence of what caused those deaths is destroyed shortly after the paperwork is filled out. The whole thing is set up in such a manner that suggests inflation of the numbers, and to have no way to counter the claims as all evidence is gone

Prior to April 2020 the diagnostic criteria for a covid death required 0 testing whatsoever. Combine that with financial incentives to record something as covid, and the lack of other income for hospitals as patients wouldn't come for minor things and elective operations were cancelled and you have a perfect storm for bad data

But the reasoning is because they consider Facebook to be too open speech wise. The status quo Starbucks is challenging is the value of free speech. They just want people to not be allowed to talk bad about them

Yep, and it's a suspect one at best. Personally I wouldn't trust a stastical model from someone who advertises that they own the book "how to lie with statistics" and obviously used it

Excess deaths doesn't work either. Gun violence has increased everywhere. So have suicides in my region of the world. I don't know who or why this comment got flagged, it doesn't change reality

The organization that published these numbers apparently a. Doesn't know how to use certbot and b. Is primarily funded by organizations who are anything but impartial on the subject

Ilumn has been my go to for 18650s for years

Confirmation bias. For this to end up on a site of someone who refers to themselves as any type of scientist is frankly embarrassing. Not a good look for a company blog

I'm conflicted, because Starbucks is pushing for more censorship, but anything that hurts Facebook is good

I'm guessing microsoft considers the few % of web devs who work on linux and care about edge compatibility somewhat of a priority.... There are literally dozens of them!

I'd bet that greater happiness is still found off social media, "authentic" presence or not.

This is the reason I closed my aws account and gave up on learning their services. Intentional cost obfuscation means I have no interest in doing business with someone

From it's track record it apparently doesn't convey

Someone please enlighten me what possible use case this product has over accurate gps coordinates.

Discord will eventually be horrible (or moreso than it is, depending on your viewpoint). It's a company. They will always sacrafice user experience for profits.

Matrix is a better solution, although it has some minor issues, it has the benefit of not being profit driven

1/3 of people are dead weight at basecamp then.

Anyone who doesn't show up to work to do work is a liability.

It's almost as if instacart is predatory and you shouldn't rely on it for income.

None of these "gig" jobs are actual jobs

Which is needed when you are trying to sleep? I'm really confused as to the use case.

I cannot speak for others but the only LEDs that have ever bothered my sleep have been indicator lights on electronics. And the manufacturers are not likely to switch as blue apparently sells better

That's an assumption made off incomplete data.

That seems like an overengineered solution to a very simple problem. Use a red LED

That article is drawing conclusions based on an incomplete data set. Suicide with covid is a covid death anyway.

The cheery manner in which this person describes political censorship is disgusting.
