Why are you saying unbounded when the discussion is about court proceedings and convictions? There is a clear and consistent boundary here, no one is asking for search logs and round the clock surveillance.

It says the dataset is 'colleague's households' which might be different from all of gaza.

Biden and Obama appointees ruling against the admin, probably to be overturned by republican nominated judges. Have judges gotten more partisan recently or has it always been like this.

Hopefully some people at least get money for food in the mean time.

The taliban didn't prevent the usa from doing anything we left because we were tired of spending money.

Hamas doesn't have an air force, how could they prevent the idf from doing anything.

You are right, public health officials instead of cdc would be the better way to phrase it.

That does sound super interesting.He probably had a real fun time doing science in the 70s.

Yeah x is a mess. When scientists say it's nice to just post about science on bluesky without being called slurs or harassed, I believe them.

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41562-023-01537-5. One study says the endorsement had little effect on voting intention but damaged credibility and perception of scientists.

https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2020/06/04/public-hea... I supported blm and still do. The CDC should have stayed out of it.

I feel like scientists should be explaining to us how the world is, and then other people should use those explanations to try and improve it.

Right now I feel like there are a scientists who would hide or discard results if they contradicted their advocacy beliefs,which is a dangerous place to be imo.

I mean things like nature starting to make endorsements for president. Overly political for no reason.

It is 100% allowed, I just don't think it's really helpful or beneficial for them or society

Especially when they try to lean on their status as scientists in order to try and have their opinions be more influential.

The cdc for example saying it's ok to disregard their previous guidance in order to protest for black lives matter is one of these credibility damaging moments that is hard to undo.

It would be nice if scientists started being just scientists again instead of activists. Hopefully being cloistered on bluesky will bring the old vibes back

Probably since about early 1990s. Maybe I should say civic nationalism instead of multiculturalism but I think most liberals would reject the idea that ethnicity or heritage were important in determining nationality.

This is a big conflict in modern liberalism and democracy. If the british people vote for an ethnostate what are we supposed to do. subvert multicultural ideas? or subvert democracy?

One of the core tenets of liberalism is that multi cultural societies and nations are just as good as mono cultural ones. what are you trying to imply here with the africa and middle eastern examples

Kinda bullish for azure that the idf chose it over aws
