    Yes, i got it, but it depends from the distribution. If there is correlation on where the bad apples appears (e.g. for cultural or socio economic conditions), it is more likely that we are close to the case of 3 bunches (that is 30 apples, just 5 more than the “original” apples)

    If we stop this parallelism (that is what I disagree with) and we move to the actual issue with the police, i think it’s a problem with all power positions: all positions that come with power (no matter how small) attract certain kind of people. This is true from the folks that check tickets in public transportation to teachers. Police is worse because there is a lot of unchecked power and close to no accountability

    The solution is not how to do bin packing of the bad apples, the solution is reducing the power, increasing accountability and add checks (e.g. while body cam have some privacy implications that i don’t like, it’s a step in that direction)












  • I got my first Covid in the summer 2022, it was horrible and it was just the tip of the iceberg. I went from working out 5-6 days at week (for 50-70min) to waking up already exhausted. I tried to rest, I tried to work out regardless (and it was super hard to recover) I was always exhausted. This has a toll on all aspects of my life, relationships got severed by me not being available, work was ok (thank goodness I am at a seniority level lower than I actually am) but not great. I went to the doctors but there is no test for long covid so they started testing me for everything and, of course, got lost in all possible imperfection of my body

    In December 2023 I got my second Covid. It wasn’t that bad and, incredibly, after that I started to slowly (over months) to recover. I am still not at the level I used to be before (I get tired much more easily) but now I can have a normal life.

    Yes, I had 3 vaccines doses before my first Covid… and, even if in my country the Covid vaccine is discouraged for people that aren’t old enough, I keep on doing.

    Some people are just more susceptible and it is not the “cold” that some people think it is
