But I had put together how many real world systems are examples of the same thing: mass screening for low prevalence problems.

And how the different situations make it either a good or bad idea.

I knew about the problem of trying to detect something that has low prevalence. The number of false-positives may vastly out number the true-positives.

@drahardja there is a distressing tendency to reward those who respond to a disaster, while ignoring those who do the difficult work of preventing a disaster. The latter is so much harder to see, and also so much more challenging...

@mavica_again I can totally understand that, I remember holding Skype in pretty high regard when it came to the technical side, even now as I'm pretty sure that technology from Skype is underpinning the calls/meeting functionality in Teams that I've been using a lot the last few years

I guess I just didn't have many friends on Skype back then and when they added more bloat I didn't see the reason to stay

@mavica_again not sure I trust M$ to provide a nice experience, I remember how bloated they made Skype after they bought it, It's the same thing they keep doing to Windows and Edge.

This is probably the best thing I ever posted on Twitter. The memory is pretty dear to me; I'm sharing it here so it still exists somewhere if that place collapses.
