To be fair, taking a 0.5ms database. And turning it into a 0.5s database by adding serverless is a lot of hard work.

A source of peace of mind: realising that nobody (not even yourself) really knows you, and everybody is really interacting with their hallucinated projection of who they think you are and what they think you are saying. Everything is vague to a degree you cannot imagine prior

If you truly believe that math is created by humans, you have no business in math. The ways that we *describe* math are, no doubt, a social construct, but math itself is the discovery of underlying reality.
"It is time for all members of our profession to acknowledge that mathematics is created by humans and therefore inherently carries human biases. Until this occurs, our community and our students cannot reach full potential." -CMPM #MathValues bit.ly/3l86j2p

A lot of folks acting as if 2020 has just been a string of bewildering bad luck, rather than what it truly is: a concentration of widely and reliably predicted and interconnected disasters that advanced nations of the world could have mitigated or prevented but chose not to.

The trillion dollar question. Why are COVID cases increasing while deaths are decreasing? The answer is simple. It's called Simpson's paradox and it's the result of incorrectly pooling data and arriving at a false conclusion. A thread 1/9 #COVID19 #ThursdayThoughts
