Almost all churches preached antisemitic sentiments for centuries before Hitler came along. Hitler amplified an already existing hate against the Jews.

We have pictures of Edward III the king of England visiting Hitler before the war.

Rudolf Hess Deputy Führer flew to England in 1941 himself to convince England to join Hitler. With his capture it seems Churchill has single handedly stopped the cooperation of Great Britain with Germany.

The UN pushed from the 1950 to replace race with culture. Many people around the world now say "But he is from a different culture." Instead of "But he is from a different race."

> Weekly deaths per 100,000 from 1918 pandemic above the expected rate.

The 1918 with worst cities 400+ Weekly deaths per 100.000 people are not comparable with the following numbers of COVID-19. Note that covid numbers not weekly but total.

> The Johns Hopkins University looked into the number deaths per 100,000 of the population in the top-10 countries worst affected by COVID-19. Belgium had over 57,000 cases on May 25 but it had the highest number of deaths per 100,000 of its inhabitants at 81.53. By comparison, badly-hit Spain and Italy had 57.43 and 55.64 deaths per 100,000 people respectively. The U.S. has surpassed 1.5 million cases and its deaths per 100,000 inhabitants stood at 30.02 on May 25.

lowdose··on Is a trillion dollars’ worth of programming lying on the ground?
In this case positivism is a self fulfilling prophecy. A lot of times we are on local not a global maximum.

Last weekend Elon Musk put a couple of people in space at a fraction of the costs NASA originally spent.

I think and hope many industries can still be disrupted in a similar way.

lowdose··on In Secretly Recorded Phone Calls, Officers Say Innocent People Were Framed
> Overall, 86% of the total 655 movies included at least 1 alcohol scene, with a range of 0 to 617 and a mean of 68 (SD = 87) occurrences per movie.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4035596/

If we take this mean and use a movie average length of 1.5 hour it was actually 10x worst than my estimation.

Yes you are right it is probably better to take the median.

I think it would be pretty easy for a ML pose algorithm to scan the whole Amazon Prime + Netflix archive for a real answer. Especially series like Mad Men are over the top in conditioning for alcohol and cigarette use. I started noticing when I quit smoking how much this was.

I remember Mark Zuckerberg owns the majority of voting shares of Facebook and hence Mark = Facebook?

45 is smarter than any gives him while I think Trump scores higher than 130 on an IQ test.

This is a high functioning persona that knows exactly what he is doing within his Dunbar circle.

That whole impeachment thing has terrible optics when you look at it with hindsight. Maybe if Hillary et al. left the president alone the COVID19 crisis would have been handled much better. Even Donald is not immune to that kind of negative exposure and the pressure it brings. Keeping him agitated was and is not the superior move.
