America, I’m honored that you have chosen me to lead our great country.
The work ahead of us will be hard, but I promise you this: I will be a President for all Americans — whether you voted for me or not.
I will keep the faith that you have placed in me.

What do we need to scale NLP research to 1000 languages? We started off with a goal to build a monolingual corpus in 1000 languages by mining data from the web. Here’s our work documenting our struggles with Language Identification (LangID): arxiv.org/abs/2010.14571

Let's be clear - Postmaster General DeJoy needs to REVERSE these changes, NOT just suspend them.
We need sorting machines turned back on, mailboxes put back, and Post Office hours restored.
Anything less still amounts to sabotage of our postal system.

BREAKING - I'm calling on Ohio Secretary of State LaRose NOT to ban Ohio counties from providing multiple secure ballot drop boxes in each county.
LaRose’s decision to ban Ohio communities from serving their residents is voter suppression, plain and simple.

Multiple studies have shown that >40% of covid transmission occurs from people who are pre-symptomatic or asymptomatic. Another study found that of hospitalized covid-19 patients, 2/3 did NOT have a fever.
Besides the privacy concerns, this flat out won't work.
Schools use thermal full body scanners that cost 2K each on students to detect Covid, connected with smart door locks. What could go wrong? fox5ny.com/video/737533
