Submission + - SPAM: How to quarantine racism in schools?

hauge43rivers writes: How to quarantine racism in schools?Quarantine racism in schools is the only option that will close the achievement gap, eliminate disproportionate discipline, and create citizens that no longer embrace the detrimental actions that become detrimental to other persons due to their race. No longer can we just sit back and talk about or continue to create programming for teachers and administrators that has minimal results. We must quarantine racism in schools before a student graduates high school and ventures into adulthood as a racist.Quarantine racism in schools means to restrict the

Submission + - Where's the Yelp for open-source tools? (functionize.com)

Esther Schindler writes: Plenty of people have created systems to collect, judge, and evaluate open-source projects, including information about a project’s popularity, reliability, and activity. But each of those review sites – and their methodologies – have flaws. And sjvn gives an overview of the attempts — and perhaps, where the "wisdom of the crowd" might lead.

In 1997, well-known developer Patrick Lenz founded the first listing and announcement site for free and open-source software, freshmeat.net. It was meant to be the guide to open-source programs. But freshmeat never lived up to its promise.


Submission + - America is facing a monkey shortage (usatoday.com)

The race for a coronavirus vaccine to help end the pandemic has consumed the scientific community and created an escalating demand for an essential resource: monkeys. Before drug companies call on human volunteers, monkeys are used in preclinical trials to test a vaccine’s safety and effectiveness. But with more than 100 vaccines in development around the world, there aren’t enough monkeys to go around. “There is a shortage,” said Dr. Skip Bohm, associate director and chief veterinary medical officer of the Tulane National Primate Research Center.

That's a really retarded comparison.

HCQ has been safely used as a maintenance drug for DECADES.

Plenty of us take drugs with far more interesting side effects.

It's all a matter of what you fear more: taking the drug or not taking it.

Meanwhile nimrods like you want to hide in your homes and trash the economy because you are afraid of this thing.

This seems like a situation where an imperfect solution should be considered better than doing nothing.

You have no fucking sense of perspective.

Veganism was a growing fad for awhile and then it got attached to climate change. The whole thing seems designed to snooker people into believing that this is something that they can easily adopt without any adjustments or pitfalls.

Mock meats seem to be a very big part of selling vegetarianism to aren't really into the idea.

It seems odd to me that the only food processing plants having trouble are slaughterhouses. It seems like ANY factory would have similar problems for similar reasons.

Mock meats are as processed as it gets.

This is a classic case of "damned lies". The numbers clearly show that the magnitude of the "epidemic" in those other states is far lower than what occurred in New York.

NYC accounts for about half the cases and deaths all by itself.

Remove those and the rest of the country so far has just had a bad flu season.

I've had millions in claims and have never been denied. I have had drugs and procedures that are rationed or age restricted in other countries. Even if I had to give up all of my money for those things, I would still be ahead compared to how I likely would have fared in your country.

If you fear debt more than death then you have a perversely distorted sense of values.
