This will happen. Get ready for it.

We can only deal with the chronic school absences by addressing their root cause. That root cause is repeat infection with a virus with debilitating effects, a virus that is still rapidly mutating with a high infectiousness. We can't ignore us. Schools tell us we can't ignore it.

So if I see an account there that does not do that, or suspiciously so, what's the most effective way to make the case?

How do you define 'trusted accounts'?

Are ground truths in the humanities possible? They are fundamental – to the future of computational humanities. We constructed a ground truth on Quine's notion of naturalism (aclanthology.org/2020.coling-...); a second ground truth on Russell's epistemology of axioms is being finalised as we speak.

What's the Spread of Wolff's Mathematical Method in 18c Germany? This depends on the whole of the academic production of 18th logic and philosophy in Germany; so, we wrote an open data paper on that whole - now in submission. Eight authors, years of work – with OCLC research & University of Turin.

Intrinsic and Effective Severity of Coronavirus Disease 2019 Cases Infected With the Ancestral Strai... Evaluating changes in COVID-19 severity over time is crucial when novel variants emerge. Intrinsic fatality risk was similar between Omicron and ancestral strai

Inside the Pa. court case pitting a genealogist against Ancestry.com Pennsylvania hired genealogy company Ancestry.com to digitize a sweeping list of historical documents. Now the company claims it owns those digital copies.

I'm a believer that digital archives are:

1. Important for increasing access to historical records
2. Part of government's duty to preserve and make records available to citizens.

Pennsylvania should not be giving ownership of digital records to ancestry.com
