This is what really concerns me when i read about climate change. If global ocean currents change it can dramatically effect weather patterns. This could have devastating ecological implications and could be equally devastating for agriculture. When it comes to biology collapse is quick and recovery is slow.
Unfortunately in this case they do. All pleas mean the same, and the Vietnamese government controls more pleas.
The government basically has its supporters spam Facebook with requests to please take down problematic posts because they break Facebook's rules.
Apparently if enough people complain about a Facebook post, Facebook removes it automatically without checking that it actually violates Facebook's rules.
In cases like this and many other cases i feel like the purpose of the machine learning algorithm should be to find a simplified polynomial function. I remember reading a paper in which an “AI physicist” was created and it would reduce complex machine learning models into simple equations that would explain the physics of a simulation. It would reduce the complex simulation into human readable and potentially more useful and predictive “laws” of physics.
It's just about the perception of injustice. A privileged person facing minor injustices could completely have this mindset. In fact I've met many many people like this.
A journalist came up with this concept at the World Economic Forum, I think it was fractal poverty??, and it was this observation that from the poorest people in the world to the absolute richest there was this sense that they were excluded from and oppressed by someone more powerful. Absolutely anyone can feel this way.
Interesting observation. I feel it's all about baselines: To decide if you have a lot of something, you need to compare your allotment to some baseline. You'll feel like a victim if you're more mistreated than your baseline of choice. If zero -- that in the ideal world with no mistreatment -- you'll always feel put out. If it's the median amount of mistreatment, half will feel good half bad, etc. Interesting that humans seem to statistically select their baseline as that just better than their current state.
Exactly and it goes beyond victimhood as well. You'll have a group of people go through the same negative experience (e.g. almost dying from a natural disaster, being held as a POW and tortured) and what's interesting is you'll see a huge variation of the impact of those events.
Some people will come out of it relatively unscathed, while others will be haunted by it for the rest of their lives.
No doubt their past experiences shaped their mindset and how they made sense of the negative experience.
It's just about the perception of injustice. A privileged person facing minor injustices could completely have this mindset. In fact I've met many many people like this.
Privileged people facing no injustice howl the loudest that they are the most oppressed. In fact, facing no justice either, getting away with every crime under the sun.
No, there is no solid evidence of persistent infections. The few reports of repeat infections are highly likely to be caused by testing artifacts. The imperfect sensitivity and false-positive rate of the tests means you'll always see people who tested negative at one time, and positive at a later time.
As an RNA virus, it would be extremely difficult for SARS-COV-2 to establish persistence. I'm not aware of any known mechanism by which that could happen. It's been proposed that some COV's may have neurotropic capability [1] that might allow them to achieve latency, but it's just that -- a proposal.
