And if you continue the colloquy you'll see the problem is the observers in the room were not allowed within several tens of feet of the ballots being counted, this making observation impossible.

Hence why the judge ruled to allow observers closer.

Re:Taleb is wrong about IQ (2019) on Sunday October 25, 2020 @11:38AM (#24887066)
Well IQ is a quantification and operant conditioning is not. I don't see how you can directly compare the rigour of the two when IQ can be used to make quantitative predictions and the other doesn't...
Results

> The rates of all infection outcomes were highest in the cloth mask arm, with the rate of ILI statistically significantly higher in the cloth mask arm (relative risk (RR)=13.00, 95% CI 1.69 to 100.07) compared with the medical mask arm. Cloth masks also had significantly higher rates of ILI compared with the control arm. An analysis by mask use showed ILI (RR=6.64, 95% CI 1.45 to 28.65) and laboratory-confirmed virus (RR=1.72, 95% CI 1.01 to 2.94) were significantly higher in the cloth masks group compared with the medical masks group. Penetration of cloth masks by particles was almost 97% and medical masks 44%.

Conclusions

> This study is the first RCT of cloth masks, and the results caution against the use of cloth masks. This is an important finding to inform occupational health and safety. Moisture retention, reuse of cloth masks and poor filtration may result in increased risk of infection. Further research is needed to inform the widespread use of cloth masks globally. However, as a precautionary measure, cloth masks should not be recommended for HCWs, particularly in high-risk situations, and guidelines need to be updated.

Where is this evidence? Is this evidence for n95 masks, or the cotton nonsense most people wear?

Saying you're discriminated against is more of a function of what you are told to perceive. Current generation blacks are more likely to say they are discriminated against than any generation prior.

No, it's just that it is easier to shame dissidence than to try to rebut it.

The easiest way to see the article is just fighting a strawman of the original manifesto is to notice the article never directly quotes the manifesto.
