We hear a lot about Facebook as a platform for manipulation - using machine learning to bypass our critical faculties and trick us into believing things that are bad for us - but the real show is in Facebook's ability to target, not manipulate.

Two questions. 1/ Does this summarise the AZ published data :
The plan is to extend the time interval for all age groups despite it being largely untested on the over 55yrs, although the full data is not yet published
SUMMARY: the Oxford/Astra trial examined dosing with gaps between 4-12 wks- although longer gaps appear to be limited mostly to younger participants. There was no difference reported in published data between these & efficacy from the 1st dose seems high for severe disease.

Do we have the actual numbers of over 55yr olds given a 2nd dose at c12 weeks and the accompanying efficacy data?
Not to mention the efficacy data of the full first dose over that same period?
I’d quite like to know whether I am to be a guinea pig & the ongoing risks to manage
You attached photos of excerpts from a paper. Could you attach the link?
Re Pfizer. As I understand it the most efficacious interval for dosing was investigated at the start of the trial.
Discussions of 1 vs 2 doses suggest many are not aware of Pfizer's trials which evaluated 1 vs 2 dose immunogenicity, assessed multiple formulations (BNT162b1 BNT162b2 etc) & conducted dose-ranging in both young & old adults at the start.

I’ve got to say that this way of making and announcing decisions is not inspiring confidence in me and I am very pro vaccination as a matter of principle, not least because my brother caught polio before vaccinations available.
On libraries, algorithms, and tools.
(If you want to start with machine learning, having a comprehensive set of hands-on tutorials you can always refer to is fundamental.)
🧵👇
1⃣ Notebooks are a fantastic way to code, experiment, and communicate your results.
Take a look at @CoreyMSchafer's fantastic 30-minute tutorial on Jupyter Notebooks.

2⃣ The Pandas library is the gold-standard to manipulate structured data.
Check out @joejamesusa's "Pandas Tutorial. Intro to DataFrames."

3⃣ Data visualization is key for anyone practicing machine learning.
Check out @blondiebytes's "Learn Matplotlib in 6 minutes" tutorial.

4⃣ Another trendy data visualization library is Seaborn.
@NewThinkTank put together "Seaborn Tutorial 2020," which I highly recommend.

A lot of things Muslims do now and claim as Islamic rule is actually a culture that Islam curtailed or tried to perfect.

Let's talk polygamy.
Islam didn't come and say, "oh men, marry four wives"
No.
Polygamy was in existence, long before the coming of Islam.
1. First off, a disclaimer. Should you feel hurt by my words in the course of the thread, then forgive me. It’s from me and not from Islam. And I probably have to improve on my delivery. And I may not quote you verbatim, but the intended meaning would be there. Thank You!
2. Standing on Imam Shafii’s quote: “And I never debated anyone but that I did not mind whether Allah clarified the truth on my tongue or his tongue” or “I never once debated anyone hoping to win the debate; rather I always wished that the truth would come from his side.”
3. Okay, into the meat (my love for meat is showing. Lol) of the thread. Even though you didn’t mention the verse that permitted polygamy, everyone knows the verse you were talking about (Q4:3).
4. Your reasons for the revelation of the verse are strange. The first time I came across such. I had to quickly consult the books on the exegeses or tafsir of the Quran written by renowned specialists!
