It was spotted by someone claiming statistical irregularities in the movement of vote tallies between rounds and demanding an investigation, which this time, they got. Last year th…

It sort of does. The new app in your case would be signed by a different key and so wouldn't have access to the existing app's data. It would boil down to a phishing attack - the n…

Such polls are done frequently and have been for a long time, so there's a wealth of data on who and what the US population trusts, like this one: https://www.pewresearch.org/polit…

I've not used Copilot but I've experimented with two other AI driven autocompletion engines in Java and Kotlin. In both cases I uninstalled the plugins due to a combination of two …

I took a look just now to see what you mean. Not surprisingly, a lot of the videos are the sort of things YouTube would ban, but that doesn't automatically mean they are wrong, bad…

Well yes, but FreeSpeech's comment was grey and flagged when I saw it, even though it's indeed kind of so obvious it's pointless. And it had a reply disagreeing, so it needed to be…

Yes, but you were doing that in response to news articles citing academics who - we now know - were assuming COVID was 10x deadlier than it actually was (reported IFRs fell from 1%…

Please cite some examples. BTW the post you're replying to is factually correct. As a government the EU does not innovative in the sense normally understood by the word, e.g. it do…

Whilst this may well be true, the very same problem affects COVID death numbers: a death is reported as a COVID death if it occurs within about a month of a positive test result, r…

That's not the right way to increase people's confidence in vaccines. It's not normal for journal board members to resign in protest at a paper even if they believe it has methodol…

That seems kind of backwards and circular. The lab leak people did have evidence: the fact that the virus emerged right next to a lab doing experiments on coronaviruses. The people…

The WHO hasn't changed its views due to "new science", the shifts have all been for political reasons, as was sometimes admitted by their own staff. Additionally this notion that i…

Ah I see, you're quoting different parts of the website.

But my point is this: your argument is that vaccines work to stop transmission with 100% reliability but not infection. You aren't stating that explicitly but it's the only belief …

Who is saying they want to kill half the population?!

None of those things were really the result of some top down utopian master plan, though. The closest might be the enlightenment if you consider the rewards for book finding grante…

Flu is endemic. Many people have never had it. The idea that 100% of people will get not only COVID but the exact strain that exists today does not seem well supported, especially …

You didn't understand my question at all. Gebru said "do this or I resign". The company accepted her resignation. She then attempted to "unresign" by claiming her statement she wou…

Exactly. You are arguing that vaccines don't work to protect people from infection but do work to prevent transmission, which is a complete inversion of what vaccines are normally …

What's your point? The internet mob views the rightness of such things as being beyond question, an actual direct democracy doesn't. Seems like good support for the original point.…

To do that you'd need to roll back corporate feminism. The reason this guy got cancelled is the feminist culture of "always believe the victim" which is basically the same as "alwa…

Are you arguing vaccines don't work? The whole point of getting one is it makes you immune so it doesn't matter if other people have it. This total distortion of what vaccines are …

Are you objecting to Google's refusal to let her "unresign" then? Btw plenty of us ex Googlers think Jeff Dean's reputation was enhanced still further by that move. Gebru was actin…

If they were to recommend a drug based without a scientific trial, they risk losing the trust of the world But that's already happened with vaccines. A bit late to worry about that…
