@odinthenerd @hatcat01 The bridge is there. Nothing prevents a retreat. What is the question?!

Here's @BrandSanderson doing an incredible thing and going to bat for indie authors like me and my friends. We've lamented Audible's low royalties forever, but their market dominance meant we had little choice in it.
This is like the President of Fantasy taking our side.

NEW: income inequality in US & UK is so wide that while the richest are very well off, the poorest have a worse standard of living than the poorest in countries like Slovenia https://t.co/gtHvhNsnuT

Essentially, US & UK are poor societies with some very rich people.

@NeightFSU @BadAstronomer @DrJenGunter @cdavidnaylor This isn't the pharma industry. It's all of virology and epidemiology and then some. And even the pharma industry consists of individuals. You think ALL of those in the field are conspiring against humanity?!

That is literally insane.

Hey @elonmusk tell me why this isn’t real-time doxxing? Fox News has a drone flying over people and reporting their exact location “right now.”

Is that why you’re saying wow? Because you’re stunned at the violation of your policy?

This is going a lot faster than expected. Oh well.

For those asking in good faith -

To get on a plane/Eurostar to the UK, people from most countries (from all poor countries & those that produce refugees, like Syria, Sudan, Iran, etc.) you need a visa. No visa, no getting on.

The UK govt does not issue visas to asylum seekers.

@darrellprograms @bob_burrough @ID_AA_Carmack Okay, no worries!

@olafurw We're just lucky that the folks at NASA didn't listen…

And we keep science twitter going why, exactly?

@gregcons Also this completely irrelevant waffle about tUrInG cOmPlEtE. Surprising that this comes from Simon Peyton Jones, who objectively knows his stuff.

@horenmar_ctu @lefticus Same. Clickbait *actively harms good content*. I hate that YouTube is forcing producers to use it (and I don't blame producers!), but as a consumer I vote the only way I can: with my feet/wallet.

@patilindrajeets `ifelse(x, 1, 0)` is a false positive.

It's a perfectly valid, logical way of expressing this (and arguably even superior to `as.numeric(x)` because it describes the intended semantics rather than implicitly relying on an implementation detail).

[@[email protected] @klmr]

@patilindrajeets Oh man. Starts out so well but then it also flags completely different, perfectly legitimate code.

@mdsumner @rstatstweet Not for compressed data, that first gets decompressed to a temporary file.

Generally, compressed files *fundamentally* don’t allow random access, unless they use chunked compression and you have a precomputed index of the chunk boundary offsets.

[@[email protected] @klmr]

@mdsumner @rstatstweet They don't support efficient random access.

@CindyRo36569087 @AdamRutherford @JudyWeb92176381 @Humanists_UK Indeed, if you consider a nonsense proposition you can make up any statistic you want based on that.
