It remains the case that the surveillance report includes rates per 100,000 which can be used to argue that vaccines are not effective. I know that this is not the intention of the surveillance report, but the potential for misuse remains. In publishing these data, you need to address more comprehensively the risk that it misleads people into thinking that it says something about vaccine effectiveness. This is not just about the choice of denominator. It is about recognising that the comparison of case rates for vaccinated and unvaccinated groups is comparing datasets with known differences – including, potentially, the greater propensity of people who are vaccinated to come forward for tests. So the data reflect a behavioural phenomenon, not just a feature of how well vaccines work. I do not think your surveillance report goes far enough in explaining this crucial point.

'Alarming finding': 30 percent of Republicans say violence may be needed to save U.S., poll shows
Almost one-third of Republicans say they think violence may be necessary to solve the problems facing the United States, according to a new national survey by the nonprofit Public Religion Research Institute. The finding is part of PRRI’s 12th annual American Values Survey released Monday which, among other things, highlights the continued impact of the same falsehoods and conspiracy theories that fueled the violent Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol nearly one year later.

Liberals Read, Conservatives Watch TV - by Richard Hanania - Richard Hanania's Newsletter
I think if you’re looking at the highest level of politics, say who influences members of Congress the most, Vox captures the spirit of liberalism, while Breitbart is most representative of conservatism.
- I particularly like "Biden's positions on crime evolved" but the Republicans are "retconning" support of Civil Rights.

How Journalism Abandoned the Working Class - by Batya Ungar-Sargon - Common Sense with Bari Weiss
Once a tool to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable, today American journalism comforts the comfortable, speaks power to truth, and insists on an orthodoxy that protects the interests of the elites in the language of a culture war whose burden is given to the working class to bear. In his book “What’s the Matter With Kansas,” Thomas Frank famously asked why white, working-class voters were voting against their own economic interests. But in 2016, when they voted in their own economic interests, those in the media called them racists.

Information free An Update on Our Outage - Roblox Blog
In addition, we will implement a policy to make our creator community economically whole as a result of this outage.
Having chatted with friends from the company, consul failed due to a issue with streaming which was introduced in 1.9 (https://www.hashicorp.com/blog/announcing-hashicorp-consul-1...) which caused it to have massively reduced tps in certain circumstances. No functional consul meant no vault, no consul/vault meant no nomad, no nomad meant no application servers. Furthermore, the services were down for long enough that the asset caches went fully cold, so spinning back up to 100% capacity would put far more load than usual on the servers meaning recovery needed to be a very slow incremental rollout to warm them. Messy situation all around, but if you want the real root cause pay attention to the consul change log over the next few weeks I’d say.
and Choice quotes from their PR piece:
We didn’t want to choose any technology that requires the company to drive deep expertise, almost to the point where you have to be a code contributor back into the project to get what you want. Nomad is just very easy to adopt.

The Media Prepare Their Readers for a Possible Kyle Rittenhouse Acquittal.
Mere hours before jury selection began in the self-defense trial of Kyle Rittenhouse in Kenosha, Wisconsin, a key defense attorney who put together a “dream team” of jury selection experts announced he was off the case. Robert Barnes says the change in the defense team means someone is “deliberately sabotaging Kyle’s defense.”

the overarching pattern of behavior is consistent: Beijing turns violent when confronted with the prospect of permanently losing control of territory. It tends to attack one enemy to scare off others. And it rarely gives advance warning or waits to absorb the initial blow.
