  • I came here with the same question but now I realize that if I ask it I will only get replies explaining me what Z-score is and not Z-score of what. So I will just assume it is sth akin to h-index. Still does not make much sense to me as to why average h-index papers “don’t survive” (i.e get rejected because no one is interested lets say) where as negative ones do.











  • So palantir analyses pretty sensitive data, for instance health data from NHS. They may not be able to share the data itself but are there any safeguards against them using the knowledge they gain from these analyses to consult health insurance companies for outrageous amounts of money so insurance companies can fuck people even more by grinding stats?

    Same goes for them analysing surveillance data. Any safeguards against Palantir consulting fascist political parties on results of these analyses so they can more efficiently carry out fear mongering?

    I am not sure the other side shuns vaccination because they are afraid of autism. I am sure there are many among them who would not terminate a pregnancy even if they found out in time that their child would have down’s syndrome (I don’t condemn or condone this, just giving an example). They only don’t vaccinate because “the libs tell them to”, so more like a cult fanaticism behaviour. I think it is that simple and stupid not even something pragmatic.






  • Eh god knows what happened there and how probably some moles catalysed the situation but people should have been able to get over themselves to unite for the greater good. If indeed it was the case that one wing of the party was heavily oppressing the other, then I really can’t tell how a practical solution could be found to that. But destroying the party from within rarely seems like a good option, especially given that Reform UK is gaining so much traction thanks to the seat warmer Keir Starmer.
