They didn't set up a clinic and stick a "Colored folks only" sign out front.

At the county or state level, they looked at the data and identified that Black and Latino populations were not being vaccinated at the same rate as white populations, and also recognized that the pandemic has disproportionately affected those same populations.

So they committed resources to establish more clinics in areas with high concentrations of the given populations and may have waived certain documentation requirements that are historically more challenging for them to acquire.

The result being that people of means, predominantly white people, took time off of work and travelled long distances to take advantage of the situation. Taking the place of a non-zero number of residents that were the intended recipients.

The best I can piece together, as a layperson reading state statutes, is because the NH Division of Historical Records[1] was assigned a duty and a budget to preserve and disseminate information on NH history [2]. The NH Historical Marker program is a joint effort with the NH Department of Transportation, and it is the responsibility of the DOT to erect and maintain the signs after approval from the Division of Historical Records [3]. The DOT has authority to erect these signs on class I-III roads which are state owned and maintained [4].

There appears to be a separate statute governing the installation of markers along class IV and V roads which are maintained by cities and towns [5].

I use Android Auto in my car, and the only complaint I have thus far is the occasional misinterpreted input.

Often, what I intend to be a tap will be interpreted as a swipe by the display. I suspect this can be attributed more to the cheap touchscreen hardware in my low trim model, than the software in Android or to the concept of touch screen interfaces.

Just as with the older analog controls, there will be good implementations and cheap implementations. It's not productive to compare well engineered, premium, apples to cheap, mass market, oranges.

It's stated in the article.

> "...state historical markers are reserved for state highways, and all of the roads in and out of Dartmouth are city streets."

I believe the paper makes a distinction between bullshit receptivity (Eating it up), bullshit sensitivity (Calling it out), and profoundness sensitivity (Correctly identifying profound statements). Donating was positively correlated with profoundness sensitivity and less so to bullshit sensitivity. And slightly negatively with bullshit receptivity.

Now that you've participated in the study, how would you self-evaluate your level of prosocial behavior?

I noticed most of the bullshit phrases used a lot of big, _fancy_ words. Not sure if this was covered later in the paper, but it could be this study identified a correlation between language skills and prosocial behavior.

Someone who's never encountered words like elucidate could be dazzled into believing it describes something profound. Whereas people who are familiar with the word would recognize it's use is awkward and meaningless.

I don't think it would be a big leap to theorize that an effective education correlates with prosocial behavior.
