A perfectly cromulent sentence can be formed from the point of view of lawschools using mostly the same words but one driving to new highs: no lawschool is undersubscribed.
I find the amorality of the billionaire class strange. He could be as good as somebody running a public enterprise, a research lab, a hospital. A state energy utility.
Instead he's running a giant meme tank feeding racist shit to win clicks and running fake AI ads boosting scam investments.
He's good at that. But is he actually any good at building things which enrich society without making him money?
From his perspective, though, he's just responding to how society chooses to allocate capital. It's not his fault that society apparently values crappy websites more than hospitals, and if he didn't do it, someone else would have.
Same argument goes for Hitler though. If he didn't do it, there'd be another fascist leader exploiting the masses' love of fascism in early 1930s Germany.

Name one human for whom this answer would be true - just one please? (not defending Zuck, he is probably one of the most evil people in the history of the entire civilization)
your local hospital administrator is building what exactly? she/he works for free? if you are in America you picked another evil empire, US health system - try and pick something else………

This is legitimately hilarious. If only Hitler or Stalin knew that to really hit the top of the evil pyramid these days, you need to create a social network. Murdering millions just doesn't compare.
He’s a sociopath. Why ignore that obvious fact? He buys a Hawaiian island and builds a secret bunker there for when the wasted mouths are eradicated. These robber billionaires aren’t normal people.
It would help if somebody in radio physics can confirm signal strength goes up in some useful way to planar 2D area and overcomes wrinkles and surface features from the packing. I'm guessing that's the goal here if it's a radio emitter.
I would think simple inflating tubes and a very little gas could supply useful rigidity but perhaps the crinkles do that anyway like corrugated cardboard?
If this was built using zfs, it would have zvols and metadata in the fs for persistence. And the states would be perhaps more portable at a cost of .. zfs.
I went with Btrfs for persistence, and automated some things around that. For example, if you give Lightwhale two magic disks, it will automatically create a Btrfs RAID1. During persistence setup it will also create a few default subvolumes to fully support snapshots and rollback of the entire data filesystem. (Remember, the rootfs of the OS is still immutable, and is never part of the data filesystem). Besides snapshots and RAID, Btrfs has checksums which I think is a must.
I've heard lots of nice things about zfs, and I know it does snapshots and checksum too. But also that it eats huge amounts of memory for breakfast. I may not be updated on this, but I faintly remember some licensing issues, that potentially could cause problem if zfs was baked into an ISO like Lightwhale. Those are the main reasons why I'm reluctant to zfs and chose Btrfs.
But you're absolutely right, I have taken some radical choices with this dist. But most are deliberate and by design =)
I do believe the most likely reason is that it subverts the WH dominant paradigm, but there's really no evidence and it's possible, albeit I think less likely right now, there is a sound public health, epidemiology or policy reason to push back on publication. What we see in comments is vituperation. I guess if I understood better I might be vituperative too, but I don't.
So rather than add to the hobby horse parade around the table, can I ask if a data scientist in public health can state what might be reasonable concerns? Are there any? Is it common, or apolitical for things like this to be held back, or is it always brain worm people?
Let's face it, stacking advisory committees with anti vaxx bodies bodes ill for this, as does RFKjr as the voice of authority. But that's ad hom on my part too.
They claim "methodological concerns". After all, if the study was done improperly, any conclusions it draws would be misleading.
In this case the methodology involved looking at hospital patients. That's a skewed sample, and the results don't necessarily apply more generally. It doesn't account for (among other things) people who got sick at levels that didn't require a hospital visit.
It's also a routine way to do things. Epidemiologists understand what it means and what it doesn't. And even without an exact understanding, the conclusions people will draw from it also happen to be valid.
They're hypothesizing some unknown skew factor, without being able to name it. Any scientist knows that you can't actually account for every conceivable variable, and holding science up to that standard would be impossible. And when its done exclusively when you don't like the results, that's clearly an excuse masquerading as a methodological concern.
Arguments about symbols and words are Godwin's law transcribed. It's a descent into past times and the current meaning of things more benign at the origin.
On the LOTR theme there's an old re-reading which projects the Orcs as exploited workers, the elvish wars as battles amongst ubermensch.
The Last Ringbearer is some more fan-fiction in the LOTR world that does this as well. I found it fairly entertaining, though I think LOTR as it stands is extraordinary, especially when told from the lens of not being the main story but a later side questy bit.
