@mattyglesias Do the 61% that think unemployment is a big problem believe it is too high or too low?

@DavidElfstrom @mattweisz @BrooksFallis @globeandmail @jasmith_yorku @joeyfox85 Hi David, have you looked at any data on needlepoint biopolar ionization (another product sold for IAQ) vs. UV?

@mattyglesias Assuming "intervene" means anything from sanctions to military action?

@mattyglesias Standard time = the sun has its highest daily altitude at noon; DST is non-standard because the sun is highest at 1PM. (Obviously the edges of any time zone will be slightly different, but that is the target for any time zone).

@jbarro Also, UA's only red-state hub is Houston. AA has Phoenix, Miami, Dallas, and Charlotte; which probably accounts for some of the difference.
English
Ah, here’s a reason UA would get more vaccinated. AA’s deal for all employees seems to have been one extra vacation day and $50 for getting vaccinated. UA offered up to 13 hours of extra pay to pilots, three extra vacation days to flight attendants. mobile.twitter.com/fountainjsw/st…

According to this article, 90% of United Airlines pilots are vaccinated, but only 60% of American Airlines pilots. Can those statistics both be right? Is this just a matter of United having better incentives? cnbc.com/2021/08/06/uni…

@mattyglesias Caltrain is already a proof-of-payment system, and it currently is being electrified. There is actually quite a lot of development near the South San Francisco station, among others.
English
@zeynep The author also takes a dig at the 90% efficacy number, when it is actually more impressive than the previous 95% because it measured infections and not symptoms, a higher threshold.
English
CNN article on how to safely fly claims that 90% vaccine efficacy means that🙄 for every million who fly, we could have 100,000 infections. NO NO NO. That’s not what that number means. Also, this didn’t even happen when millions flew unvaccinated. So how could it make sense now?

@jbarro I’ve been engaged for over two years because there was a pandemic that forced us to postpone our wedding.
English
Especially if you are fabulously wealthy, an engagement should last no longer than a reasonable amount of time in which to plan a wedding.

@jbarro He didn't get the upgrade because he bought his ticket the day of, so the upgrades had already been processed and first class was full.

Then how come he didn’t get the upgrade?

@RadCentrism sanuvox.com/product/biowal… This is a good UVC solution as it increases exposure time. None of these products are particularly difficult to manufacture or install, just need the right incentives in place to make it happen.
English
@AlexCrabill I haven’t. I know there are a bunch of UV solutions, but none are being scaled. I’ve heard Siemens is maybe doing smth with UVC...but imagine if we Warp Sped it up? 🤦♂️

Just your friendly reminder that we’ve known FOR YEARS that 222-nm UV light kills coronaviruses in the air.
Yep. You heard that right.

SCALABLE SOLUTION: 222-nm far-UVC light. Kills #coronavirus, doesn’t damage human tissue. Let’s get #uvc trending so we can help businesses and save lives. cuimc.columbia.edu/news/far-uvc-l…

1) About MERV 13 - upgrading filters to MERV13 is the cheapest and most consistent/ practical solution: For a 10,000 ft2 school buildings or 15 classrooms, it only costs $546/YEAR. This simple upgrade will give you ~5 ACH.

@The_Javanildo @gsiskind @MDVisas If your F-1 is showing as expired, you can still have a valid status but need to apply for a new visa before re-entering. Immigration atty has told me they just typically delay the applications until past the expiration of OPT.
English
@AlexCrabill @gsiskind @MDVisas Define an expired F1. You finished your degree right? You’re on OPT? your F1 is not expired. No such thing.
English
Thx @MDVisas for passing along some good news for F-1 students. Good example of how rolling back obscure Trumpy immigration changes will look.
English
@The_Javanildo @gsiskind @MDVisas The F-1 can expire before the OPT. You’re legally allowed to stay in the US or visit Canada or Mexico as long as you depart following expiration of OPT.
