      —Charles W. Eliot

      And here I thought I was original in thinking this... :)

    1. Dr Nisreen Alwan 🌻. (2021, October 30). Mass infection of kids with a virus less than 2 years old is not ethical, not moral, not scientifically evidenced, not socially just & medically risky. There’s no good argument for this. And no, boosting population immunity to protect the adults is not a valid argument. #Childism [Tweet]. @Dr2NisreenAlwan. https://twitter.com/Dr2NisreenAlwan/status/1454498829403922440

    1. Benjamin Veness. (2021, November 2). Singapore’s 🇸🇬 Senior Minister of State for Health, Dr Janil Puthucheary, told Parliament on 1 November: “I hope my explanation has helped members understand why although we say we are living with COVID-19, we cannot just open up, and risk having the number of cases shoot up.” [Tweet]. @venessb. https://twitter.com/venessb/status/1455396047765733376

    1. John Burn-Murdoch. (2021, August 23).

    1. 风控系统有规则和模型两种技术路线,规则的优点是简单直观、可解释性强、灵活,所以长期活跃在风控系统之中,但缺点是容易被攻破,一但被黑产猜到里面就会失效,于是在实际的风控系统中,往往再结合上基于模型的风控环节来增加健壮性。但限于篇幅,本文中我们只重点讨论一种基于规则的风控系统架构,当然如果有模型风控的诉求,该架构也完全支持

    1. Also, it is definitely NOT okay to recommend --force on forums, Q&A sites, or in emails to other users without first carefully explaining that --force means putting your repositories’ data at risk. I am especially bothered by people who suggest the flag when it clearly is NOT needed; they are needlessly putting other peoples' data at risk.
