    Tenured profs exploit adjuncts, post-docs & grad students as cheap, cheap labor. Tenure is like rent controlled apartments. Favors those who are in a the expense of newcomers.

    Tenure was supposed to give researchers the freedom to work on hard or unpopular projects. Apparently it doesn’t.

    What this sociopath below doesn't get is that 1) Covid kills people in ~ PROPORTION to their force of mortality rate. You can't blame people for being mortal. 2) Excess mortality (properly calc) is statistically equal to & often higher than the official Covid death rate.

    Dynamic inequality. Piketty's second major flaw. The top is not the same top.

    The composition of 10% constantly changes with few exceptions in USA. Musk and Bezos were not there a few years ago. Stop this nonsense. 10% is a huge number. It's not anywhere else in the world including Europe.

    Wolfram, , is the only real scientist I've ever met. Others are like easily detectable imitations of the original.

    Victorian gentlemen-amateur scientists used to fund their own science, kinda like Wolfram does now

    People don't get the fallacy associated w/the "tenure as freedom" concept. If tenure "gives you freedom", & it can be given to those who won't use such a "freedom", how can it bring independence ? You need the additional assumptions that pple switch from sheep to lion overnight.

    Tenure brings no "Academic Freedom" . Just rent seeking by those who are in, just as with rent control.

    1. 🧵 Tomorrow, the is expected to vote to end tenure for Georgia's public universities. The AAUP has warned that this move will destroy protections for academic freedom, which is indispensable for the quality of teaching and research in higher education.

    For those verbose IYIs who are *now* obsessing over supply chains, it was clearly not a surprise. April 2020 discussion of the nature of these chains.

    Some better news about HRV. It could work but if one takes the LOG of time between beats. Any regression on HRV not the LOG is improper. There is an ignorant fellow who writes academic papers with regressions on the thread making that mistake but I will spare him.

    Stuff that's not in history books, outside the Levantine consciousness. History as taught is either overt fabrication (Salibi) or downright Arabist propaganda.

    OK, OK HRV data fits the Lognormal like a glove. A high variance Lornormal (Max=40 times Min!), so not good news. I would ignore the metric even if it seems to selectively fit some diagnosis of Covid or overtraining.

    Looks like HRV may contain *some* information in very long term trends but this shows you observe mostly noise. No single observation has observation unless it is in the very far tail.

    Friends and CardioTwitter, How can Heart Rate Variability ( ) be informative if it moves intraday by 1 order of magnitude? Another statistical problem: standard deviation must not be stochastic for standard metrics. Is it so observation dependent?

    Under Federalism in Lebanon, there would be no "Christian" Canton. It would be called *Secular Canton*. Why? Because Christianity separates church from state. This explains why, historically, "nonsectarianism" = persecutions of Christian minorities.
