@ted_dunning I agree!! I hope we can use this model of "Massively Collaborative Research" on other projects!

New study by Linsey Marr:

“We aerosolized SARS-CoV-2 & pulled it through masks. After 1hr we were able to recover infectious virus from fabric masks but not an N95 or surgical mask. When we pressed artificial skin against the masks we found viral RNA but no infectious virus on the skin.” #MasksWork

So here is big news regarding decisions ... but not to do with SCOTUS.

The BB(5) bound has been proven.

It's big because it provides a model for building a productive community to prove a non-trivial mathematical result.

Kasie Hunt Shuts Down Karoline Leavitt Interview: VIDEO

Good for her 👏🏼

Second Nexus

Hunt added, “I’ll also say that if you talk to analysts of debates, previous, that if you’re attacking the #moderators, you’re usually losing.”

Hunt then asked what #Trump’s team expects from #Biden at the debate, but the spox again attacked Tapper.

“Well, first of all, it takes about 5 mins to Google #JakeTapper, Donald Trump to see that Jake Tapper has…” Leavitt said before Hunt cut her off, warning, “ma’am, we’re going to stop this interview if you’re going to keep attacking my colleagues.”

Leavitt continued anyway. Hunt instructed the #CNN control room to cut the feed of Leavitt & pivoted back to a panel discussion on the upcoming #debate.

“Karoline, thanks very much for your time. You are welcome to come back at any point,” Hunt said. “She is welcome to come back & speak about #Trump & Trump will have equal time to #Biden when they both join us … later this week in Atlanta… Our thanks to Karoline.”

CNN Anchor Dumps Trump Flack For Attacking Jake Tapper and Dana Bash In Stunning Trainwreck

You mean a group of controlling men didn't actually know what was better for a woman's body than the body's owner?
No fucking way!

Our infant mortality rate is already higher than it should be.

Congratulations "pro-lifers", y'all just made that mortality rate even higher, making it exponentially more painful at the same time.

Wow! What an achievement.

Texas anti-abortion heartbeat law led to more deaths after birth: study
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/health/2024/06/24/texas-anti-abortion-heartbeat-law-infant-deaths-study/74168707007/

Texas' anti-abortion heartbeat law aimed to save babies, but more infants died.

Texas enacted its anti-abortion law before the U.S. Supreme Court's Dobbs ruling. Study found far more infants died in Texas than had before the ban.

Wait ... remind me.

Which ones are supposed to be the baby killers?

I've compared nearly all Rust crates.io crates to contents of their git repositories.

Here's a dump of this data (33MB compressed, 150K files): https://lib.rs/data/rust-repo-checks.tar.xz

The comparison algorithm and the JSON format is described here:
