The point is that the post is created in such a way as to suggest it happened recently which is disingenuous. Based on the numerous responses here, most seem to think it. I’d rather focus on the current issues which are far more pressing than something over a decade resolved. That’s all.

The incident happened in 2014.

The case was filed around 2017 and was dismissed.

Of course it’s gross, but it’s been over a decade now and doesn’t have connection to the current ICE regime.

It can lose money all the time, as long as it’s the biggest source of video content and they cancel control your experience. They’ll make up the money in every other way imaginable.

First time I saw it, honestly

I’m so sorry

If they get there in time, the pain lingers

I had the same and a terrible headache, my doctor said it was “shingles light”. The headache alone made me throw up a few times.

So sorry you had to go through that. Side effects of the vaccine are pretty much always preferred Vs the actual illness.

My friends father was the kind who declined vaccines but begged the doctor for medications when he got shingles. He eventually got the vaccine but described the pain as someone holding a hot iron against your face…for months.

Shingles is a terrible experience at 38, but wait until he’s around 50+. That is life changing pain.

They took the part of the wine that was healthy for you and turned it into a pill. Guess how many people wanted the pill Vs the wine lol

I 100% agree with this

That’s arguable. But she did her first blood donation and it took her around 3 hours.

Fasting is a good way to achieve that.

But as far as donating goes, there may be a day you might be the recipient of much needed blood donations.

Had a lady need 12 bags of blood after almost exsanguinating following a really complicated delivery (both survived). She never gave blood before due to fear of needles, but now is a regular blood donor because of the importance of it. She told me to not wait and just start giving.

Time to start donating blood regularly. Someone else will get plastics sure, but they’ll need the blood for more pressing reasons.

Apologies if English isn’t your first language it’s called reading between the lines.

Ill draw it out for you: If people would pay that much (yes insane) money to go to “shit” and mediocre institutions here in the states, what does it say about the options they have locally?

Yup and paying insane amounts of money to get in, too.

True, I would argue though that after a certain amount of time, nobody even cares about the quality, it’s the university name on the degree that is truly important.

You can go anywhere on the planet even decades from now and say you’re from Harvard (take your pick) and you’ll be regarded as a knowledge god even if you were the last in the class to graduate.

Educational quality isn’t everything for getting into a good career, it’s the reputation, and that is what schools in the US (and a few abroad) have in spades.

Hold on, in advanced education here in my area of the states, almost half the population of students in classes I see are of Chinese or Indian backgrounds and most are here on foreign visas.

If the education is so shit, why are there so many foreign students studying here and paying insane amounts of money to do so.

I expected more from an educated person.

But if you don’t want to define the word and cut off the conversation, then you’ve just left me with the belief you are using eugenics as a “scary” word hoping to sound smart. I believe you can represent your field better.

I hope you have a good one.

For anybody still reading: The AI tool is not for eugenics, the researchers should not be punished, it’s not racist to use unethical data, and it helps people who might otherwise die to a horrible disease. It doesn’t help all the people we want it to right now, but hopefully, in the future it will be an amazing tool for everyone.

Define eugenics for me, please.

You’re saying the tool in its current form with it’s data “seems pretty intentionally eugenics” and…“a tool for eugenics”. And since you said the people who made that data, the AI tool, and those who are now using it are also responsible for anything bad …they are by your supposed extension eugenicists/racists and whatever other grotesque and immoral thing you can think of. Because your link says that regardless of intention, the AI engineers should ABSOLUTELY be punished.

They have to fix it, of course, so it can become something other than a tool for eugenics as it is currently. Can you see where I think your argument goes way beyond rational?

Would I have had this conversation with you if the tool worked really well on only black people and allowed white people to die disproportionately? I honestly can’t say. But I feel you would be quiet on the issue. Am I wrong?

I don’t think using the data, as it is, to save lives makes you racist or supports eugenics. You seem to believe it does. That’s what I’m getting after. That’s why I think we are reading different books.

Once again…define eugenics for me, please.

Regardless, nothing I have said means that I don’t recognize institutional racism and that I don’t want the data set to become more evenly distributed so it takes into consideration the full spectrum of human life and helps ALL people.
