lnkd.in/eZCPufeu PEOPLE: A BID TO RIG ELECTIONS UK, TORY VOTER ID LAWS LOOK LIKE AN ATTEMPT TO RIG OUR ELECTIONS, NOT IMPROVE THEM Itโ€™s not too late to avoid the disenfranchisement of the poor and the young before the next general election.
lnkd.in/eZCPufeu EXTRACT โ€˜Rishi Sunak may this week have been battered and bruised by strikes and U-turns, but he has at least made it past one key milestone:
lnkd.in/eZCPufeu his 45th day in power today means he managed to stay in office longer than Liz Truss did before she announced her resignation.

Now that #Oklahoma and #Texas have officially withdrawn from the #Big12-2-2-2, several academic institutions in the league have started the process of backchanneling (while of course remaining committed to the Big12-2-2-2) for a new home.
Not wanting my own beloved college cast aside to a G5 league that is more aligned with our aspirations and history, Iโ€™ve taken it upon myself to produce a similar piece, so that another elite league may choose to add us and carry us on their financial shoulders.
I of course, am speaking of University of #West #Virginia. There are several things that set #WVU apart from your average D1 entity. These unique qualities define us, and should give us immediate consideration for our admission into either the #ACC, #BIG16, #PACnumber, or #SEC.

Some people say that one shouldn't care about publication and the quality matters. However, the job market punishes those who donโ€™t have publications in top ML venues. I empathize with students and newcomers to ML whose good papers are not getting accepted. #ICLR2021
1/
Long thread at the risk of being judged:

I just realized that in the last 6 years, 21 of my 24 papers have been accepted to top ML conf in their FIRST submission even though the majority of them were hastily-written borderline papers (not proud of this). How is this possible?
2/
At this point, I'm convinced that this cannot be explained by a combination of luck and quality of the papers. My belief is that the current system has lots of unnecessary and sometimes harmful biases which is #unfair to new comers and anyone who is outside of the "norm".

I started playing #guitar in college. Some of my friends back home played, so I thought I'd learn. It's been years since I kept up with it. With no job and an empty house, I had time. Plus, I could crank up my amp. Ava would have hated it. All the more reason to do it.
#vss365
Strumming a few chords or playing a riff through a loud amp usually makes me feel better. It's more of a distraction this time. My amp is a little old. Even a #ragpicker might pass on it. "If you're not going to play it, sell it," Ava nagged. Life always got in the way.
#vss365
Or I got in the way. Not even ten years ago I kept getting sick all the time. Painful stomach cramps would radiate weakness throughout my body. I learned how to wash it away like healing #rainwater. That's when I really started to figure out who I was and what I could do.

Q: Is my #onlineshopping for non-essential items supporting the economy? or putting people at risk?

A: Probably a bit of both. While online shopping may help blunt companies' financial and employment losses, unsafe practices may place many workers at risk of contracting Covid-19
Here are some tips from @ConversationUK to consider when online shopping:

๐Ÿ“ฆReserve use of delivery--specifically for essential items like groceries--for those like older adults, single parents, essential workers, and those with chronic health conditions.
๐Ÿ›๏ธShop Local. Smaller businesses are more likely to face financial strain. Many local shops have re-invented their workflows to allow for online shopping and #Contactless pick up. Check out your #Local shops first.

Went to a great school in #medellin & at 17 started #medicine not because I wanted to be a clinician but because I liked the #science & my family and #mentors told me #medicine was broader and could open more doors for me #VoicesIWS #Threadโ˜๏ธ@IWS_Network
