@peterpham Sample size of asymptomatic cases was 300, not 10M. And it was under citywide lockdown+contact tracing+ probably universal masks + distance. Totally diff conditions from US. Also 107 reinfections in <=6wks!

@NateSilver538 We need a new vocabulary for polls where range/uncertainty are the top-line, instead of a single number with the error margin in a footnote. Also, new visualizations (next-gen error bars) that express it intuitively.

On April 5, 1984, @Cal students Stephen Schoettler and Barrett Davis put a Mickey Mouse face and hands on the south side of the Campanile. One fell 40 feet to the ground in the process, fortunately suffering relatively minor injuries.

Adorable reminder that stubbornly repeating NO doesn't win arguments. Asking the right question promotes learning. https://t.co/S0Ubm6QCbz

This little girl has so much conviction in her answers. This back and forth probably went on for days 😂

2/3 ZeroD exploits and cert leakage are real risks that require rapid updates. Not hard to preserve privacy & get fast updates.

[Steve Schoettler @dotsteve]

1/3 MSWin cert leak could take months to patch https://t.co/qDqC2ZVYuz @never_released Why are cert revocation checks still optional?
