Depends what meter you're singing it to. I'm imagining a bouncy Tom Lehrer style and it fits just fine.

How can you be said to have a relationship that's healthy but not enjoyable? If you're not enjoying it, it's not healthy by virtue of that.

Conversely, how can you have s friendship that's healthy but not enjoyable? If anything, I guess it could be called s professional relationship, say between coworkers, but the graph specifically claims to describe friends.

I don't have the tools to illustrate my point but bear with me: the only thing wrong with that graph is the size of the Melenchon bar. Probably whoever made the image entered another value than is written to draw that one bar. If it were elongated by a bit, the relative sizes would fit.
A simple mistake that nevertheless should have been spotted.

Unless that tv station has a particular beef with that one candidate?

God, that drives me crazy. I see people filling out death certificates as 'cardiac arrest due to respiratory failure due to pneumonia' and I'm all JUST WRITE PNEUMONIA! It fucks up the stats if you don't write pneumonia!


Technically you could define death as 'cerebral hypoxia caused by cardiac arrest caused by ACTUAL CAUSE' for about 90% of causes of death, but that's only true in the most pedantic of senses, and doesn't give you any useful information on a population level.

I don't know where you're from but in Denmark they're required to do it that way, specifically for statistical reasons.

The health data authority has an "AI" that picks out the underlying cause, regardless of the order it was written in. Said AI is under continuous development by medical professionals in several countries, and of course there is tons of more or less manual quality control. So probably not infinitely infallible, but pretty good.

The diabetes examples is Interesting, and almost certainly will be debated at the next IRIS convention, though I haven't seen an abstract list yet.

the worst thing about this graph is the roughly equal areas of the two scenarios, i.e. total number of cases until the virus is "defeated".

Blue Footed Booby posted:

That's the point. Spreading out the same number of cases over time means fewer cases happen when the system for handling them are at capacity. This means fewer people need hospitalization at times when there isn't space in the hospitals.

While I am glad that the graph seems to have had an impact and that most countries have in fact enacted sweeping measures, I was (in the spirit of this thread) nitpicking the simplistic picture :)

You seem to be mistakenly accepting the implication that the total number of possible cases is constant regardless of strategy.

My point was that without any preventative measures, the number of cases - both new and concurrent - would be much slower to fall than the red graph shows, and would in all likelihood continue to be higher for a longer time than in the case with measures. Imagine the height of the red area, but extended beyond the end of the blue area - and hopefully declinging over time before reaching some threshold value beyond which society collapses.

Because without adequate quarantine as well as travel and assembly restrictions and the (already evident) attrition of medical staff and supplies the virus would spread farther, and repeated exposure might affect those who initially would not have fallen sick, or at the very least turn them into more effective vectors, increasing the reach and duration of the spread.

AnoHito posted:

In German, "girl" is not a feminine noun. Anyone who could look at that and not scrap the concept of gendered nouns from the language altogether has clearly long since gone insane.

That's because it's composed of a feminine noun meaning "unwed/virgin female" and a diminutive suffix. That suffix, whenever it is used, determines the gender of the compound word and adds an umlaut (or ¨) to to the first syllable)

Magd + chen = Mädchen

There doesn't seem to be a word just for "girl" that isn't somehow linked to her future status as a spouse.

But you guys they compared the algorithm to results obtained from human surveys and it matched!

Which they apparently dont' realize is just another way of saying they've automated the obvious euro-centric bias of their focus group, by training an AI on historical euro-centric preferences. :bravo:
