@gwensnyder Agreed, International relations is one of the reasons I was going to vote third party. But I wasnt aware of this, now that I look it up it seems your right (shockingly) the borders showed objectively better measures under Trump... honestly I never would have thought Trump could do something competent.

This will have me seriously considering if Trump might be a viable option afterall. Thanks for bringing up this topic and pushing me to look at the details.

@DrJackBrown

I suppose it depends on if Taylor Greene beleives Trump or not. I mean, anyone who trusts Trump is a fool, obviously. But if she legitimately beleives (however wrong) that Trump is the truth and that people are only turning tail out of fear and threats, then what she said is exactly what she means here.

Just as your perspective is the opposite because you think Trump is wrong. So naturally to you the couragous thing is to not defend him, and the honest thing.

Obviously I agree with you. But what Taylor Greene says seems perfectly accurate to what she claims her view of the facts are. What is more interesting of a point to me, and more valid, is if she is lying or truly believes Trump is in the right. So she is either an unethical liar, or a moron, neither are good.

@eriner

No worries, thanks for the heads up. I'll check into this and run it by my lawyer for a sanity check. Thanks.

I know you two have shown a particular interest/curiosity in remaining up to date about our migration/upgrade process so just wanted to tag you. Let me know if you want me to tag you on future updates or not, no intent to spam.

A few hours ago, the US carried out a drone strike in Baghdad. Pictures of evidence at the scene suggest, three members of Kataib Hezbollah were killed (the group responsible for killing 3 US soldiers recently).

Let's reiterate: 1 strike, three terrorists killed, 0 civilian casualties.

I repeat: The US did not bomb most of Baghdad, killing 27,000 people to get this done.

Just saying.

Just to Update our team is still working on upgrades, its a multi stage process. We currently have 3 versions prepared with various new features (remember we have tons of features mastodon doesn't have, not even glitch).

The migration that was supposed to happen on Monday got delayed due to some last minute sanity checks not passing. We have since fixed that.

So probably early next week the actual migration will be attempted again, then over the following days there should be ~3 upgrades (may all happen at once) to version bumps using code from QOTO repeat and all the stuff we worked on the past year or so.

After that you should see more regular updates form us... so lots and lots of progress on the dev side, a bit of a backlog on the migration/upgrade side... but we are getting there!

@PHolder What? how can someone call "Semantic Web" as "web 3.0" when it literally existed, was defined, and in active use LONG before "web 2.0" was even a term

@freeschool Thanks for the help!

@synlogic He is an old friend of the family (has been over to eat dinner with my mom and dad multiple times). So i am admitidly bias in the sense that I have some sense of him that others may not from the media.

That said I do feel his racism is transparent even if one reviews his public record. 1) he started his career and spent most of the initial part of his career fighting to keep segregation alive. He specifically stated the reason was because he didnt want his white child going to school with other minorities in what he deemed (his words) a "racial jungle". So its clearly established he has deeply racist roots that defined much of the start of his career.

Later it becomes more subtle. Afterall Biden like any smart politician will do what he needs to remain in power. So once racism started to become something that hurt him he moved from oppression to exploitation. Now he exploits minorities by giving them oppertunities (for example in cabinet roles) that are still subservient to him, but such candidates would be a fool to decline for career purposes. In effect taking the "im not racist i have black friends" approach to racism by exploiting them to make himself look good.

It is obvious all the smae underlying racism remains, however, based on how he speaks. For example the famous line he made just a year or two ago "If you dont vote for me, you ain't black" when asked about black voters who dont like him. This is revealing for two reasons 1) he thinks he knows better for blacks what is good for them than they even know themselves, and disagreeing with him, a white person, on whats best for a black person would mean you loose your black card (whatever the hell that means). and 2) his use of broken english "ain't" a word he never normally uses shows that he relates black people to being uneducated and he felt that by expressing himself in broken english he would appeal more to black people, clearly showing his racist way of thinking.

@PHolder Huh? What does Web 3.0 or crypto have to do with anything?

And no it was written by hand, by me, must now.

I am truly amazed at the number of applicants I have seen off of this single post. And almost all are well suited candidates worth my time to review. I am astonished that a single post on the fedi is more effective than actually hiring a recruiter. Thank you everyone for the boosts and applications.

While many applicants have made it through and are currently being hired because we have so many positions we have quite a few still available for every level from sr to jr, and both data scientists and programmers. So please keep boosting, sharing, and applying if anyone is interested.

Just a reminder this is 100% remote, no fixed hours, will pay market rates for position. I will be your direct boss and hiring manager (also owner, founder, and inventor of the tech).

🎓 Dr. Freemo :jpf: 🇳🇱  
I am still hiring for top-tier programmers and data scientist. Please reboost, share, recommend, or reply if you know anyone who might be intereste...

@justyourluck

I mean I literally do #2 for a living. Just spent several years getting good data regarding COVID-19.. it costs a lot of money, but no not pulled out of our ass.

> Personally, wastewater is the only data I trust as the other two you listed can be cooked/ manipulated.

I trust data regarding the severity of COVID by counting the number of green apples on a tree in my yard because it would be very hard to manipulate that data.

Data being hard to manipulate doesnt really help you when it has no relevance of any kind to the thing you are trying to measure (severity of a disease in a population).

> Deaths don't show severity of a disease. I'm so sick of death being the determiner of how bad is when so many, sooooooo many people are alive with

Depends on what your trying to measure. Death is certainly one way of measuring severity, one particular kind of severity. But you are right that other metrics need to be considered along side that, namely morbidity as a whole.

@luckytran

@justyourluck

Two suggestions 1) be sure to explain this graph is not an indication of the secrity of the disease so it doesn't misinform people. 2) get good data that is actually good at indicating the severity of a disease. Mortality rate and transmission rate together are generally the two numbers that have some validity at this.
