Is this true? The mRNA vaccines started phase 1 trials in March of 2020 and we had them being used by January of 2021. What would slow down this vaccine’s timeline compared to the mRNA?

Because that is what the markets have determined. There weren’t always post match pressers and clearly the sport has determined that there is a value to having them.

Also, inappropriate questions are very rare but I was just using that as a personal example of what I enjoy but there are also good bits in those pressers on mentality and good examples of composure with a loss that people can learn from. There’s a lot people can get out from a champions mindset which you otherwise wouldn’t get unless they choose to release a book later in life.

At this point it seems to be more of a problem of changing the cultural norms that were created by over 30 years of a one child policy but I guess you have to start somewhere.

I think the metric would be percentage of donations spent on the cause vs operations.

Just to be clear, post match interviews aren’t “paparazzi”, they aren’t randomly followed on the street, they meet at a given place at a given time and interact with cleared media people.

Do they get asked bad questions sometimes? Yes and it’s amazing to see that reporter asking something inappropriate get slammed by the players.

I don’t disagree that it’s possible but if a player refuses to give an opinion or to interact with media it doesn’t make building narratives easier. “Player X has this record vs Player Y” isn’t that compelling in itself.

It is funny that refusing to talk to media is itself generating buzz about the sport so maybe Naomi knows how to spin a narrative better than I know haha.

So far this doesn’t seem egregious but there are examples of non-profits cough Red Cross cough where their operational costs outweigh the good that they are able to provide.

Definitely something to continue to watch to see if Wikipedia continues to serve the public good.

I mostly agreed with this point of view until I saw Rafael Nadal’s (post match ha) interview on the subject. Ultimately these press conferences are another avenue to put a spotlight on the sport and it’s the popularity of these top players that bring in fans that write checks for the top ~500 players in the world (plus all the staff around players and tournaments). If a player doesn’t want to participate it only hurts the sport which will eventually hurt you if you want the sport to grow/survive.

Honestly, if they didn’t change the rules because of her, it would eventually happen due to other players following in her footsteps. I’m sure nobody really wants to talk to the press, even after a win (especially when there is another match the next day). I’ve seen so many good moments in those interviews and even the salty people that lost usually have great gems that add something to the sport and make you interested in the next tournament.

Storylines are what make sports interesting in the first place. If there are no stories, a sport is doomed to die IMO.

The only sad part is that this gives existing food delivery apps a stronger foothold now that they are established

I don’t understand what you are saying, how is simply gathering data of the state of the world a problem?

Science is based on assessing data and creating hypothesis based on that data. Racial statistics is just another vector to assess our society. You would expect that race would not be a factor and thus be evenly distributed across professions/positions of power in a country. When you look at the data and see that is not the case, why not try to look at the factors that account for that discrepancy? Just because the variable we looked at is race doesn’t mean racism is the cause but you can’t even assess whether it is without the data first.

Why should we allow statistics to be gathered on the basis of religion or gender?

Now I’m curious, in French law, are racial statistics banned for research in medical outcomes or disease?

Can you please read the post before commenting, it literally mentions open source

Have you looked up the context of that quote? Here is where that quote originated from Miami Police Chief Walter Headley. It’s very clear the implication is the use of law enforcement and police brutality.

“In declaring war on 'young hoodlums, from 15 to 21, who have taken advantage of the civil rights campaign,' Headley said, 'we don’t mind being accused of police brutality.'

'They haven’t seen anything, yet.'

Headley said Miami hasn't been troubled with racial disturbances and looting because he let the word filter down, 'When the looting starts, the shooting starts.'"

And when that happens, it will have been impossible to see it coming...

If that were the case, you would think that Amazon would address the issues raised my employees instead of firing them.

By firing them, they discourage others from coming forward so it’s not really possible to get a good picture of the situation.

Amazon Go is a convenience store...if convenience stores pick this up then yes, they will shop there.
