@Bell_Aliant Why did it take you more than 8 hours to post this update? An interruption is when someone taps on your shoulder; this is an outage.

And why does your service status page on your website display an internal server error?

[Guillaume Pelletier @EPGUI]

@BartoszMilewski It's very unfortunate because it's also my main barrier to using it for personal projects.

(BTW, thank you for your book & YouTube lessons on CT for programmers, Bartosz! Opened my eyes to an entire universe.)

[Guillaume Pelletier @EPGUI]

@MenteFinanzas @liron @mSanterre I agree with what you're saying after the first sentence, but it has nothing to do with the argument at hand. Your first sentence is incorrect.

[Guillaume Pelletier @EPGUI]

@liron @mSanterre Sigh... You're the one that's wrong here Liron.

@elonmusk Elon, this is why sleep is important. Go get some sleep.

[Guillaume Pelletier @EPGUI]

@BillboardChris I'd be more sympathetic to your case if 1) you hadn't put your hand on the other person first, and; 2) if your website was less rhetoric and more medical ethics.

It's a complex grey area, and I think you may be doing more harm than good, even if you have the best intentions.

[Guillaume Pelletier @EPGUI]

Well, that didn't age well...

Yeah, no thanks, I'll see myself out.

[Guillaume Pelletier @EPGUI]

Six years later I'm going through my twitter feed and I realize: we should do this more often.

[Guillaume Pelletier @EPGUI]

@elonmusk @elonmusk Setting aside who's right and who's wrong for a moment... You literally have the-people-who-are-not-in-power (the students) protesting the-person-in-power (the dean).
Isn't "indoctrination in school" or "soviet-style indoctrination" the complete opposite of that?

[Guillaume Pelletier @EPGUI]

@elonmusk I think the most remarkable thing about it all is how a single person can swing between two extremums of intelligence, in different contexts or situations.
Or how expertise does not always translate very well across domains (*ahem public health*).

[Guillaume Pelletier @EPGUI]

Status update: I don't really tweet anymore because I'm afraid it will do to my brain what it did to @elonmusk's.

[Guillaume Pelletier @EPGUI]

@elonmusk @elonmusk, you've been unhinged lately. Do you sleep? Blink twice if you need me to send a pillow.

[Guillaume Pelletier @EPGUI]

@matteoianni @upndatom I would encourage you to read Gödel's work before criticizing it. He's smarter than both of us combined and squared.

[Guillaume Pelletier @EPGUI]

@MaxedLuck @diveamerica @DefiantLs If you can't tell the difference between a religious consensus and a scientific consensus, we're going to need to sit through a lesson on the History of science before we have any hope of having a productive discussion.

And no, the data does not show what you think it shows.

[Guillaume Pelletier @EPGUI]

@azaccountant @diveamerica @DefiantLs Your tolerance for bullshit seems to be improving!

[Guillaume Pelletier @EPGUI]

@Pieterjanfrees @janelisamartin @DefiantLs I feel sorry for people who think "shamans" have a point. This is why we need better access to education.

[Guillaume Pelletier @EPGUI]

@diveamerica @DefiantLs I know because I'm a biochemist, this is my area of expertise, the data supports it, and it's the scientific consensus. The balance of risks doesn't even come close, there is a difference of several orders of magnitude.

[Guillaume Pelletier @EPGUI]

@bmweaver18 @DefiantLs We're not talking about different tastes in music or food. Sometimes "different" means "more vulnerable" or "having less access to education", which is bad.

Golden zone: "minimum quality standards" at the nation-level + "additional standards" at state/prov level.

[Guillaume Pelletier @EPGUI]

@bmweaver18 @DefiantLs I was 100% not bragging, I was providing context and a comparison.

[Guillaume Pelletier @EPGUI]

@hitler6000_ @DefiantLs Effective at what? It sure does prevent these things, at the population scale.

Respectfully, you've forgotten the principles of action of vaccines, Mr Adolf Hitler. (Why do I even bother replying to Hitler as if it made any difference...)
