I recall when I was asked my ethnicity by clinic staff I said "German/Irish", which harks back to my grandparents.

Embarrassed to see now that the modal response so far as been 'American'. That's what I am really.

Would someone who was born & raised in Spain be 'Hispanic'? 🤔

the new spec will need to be mappable to the OMB's soon-to-be deprecated conception of ethnicity, which amounts to "is you is, or is you ain't, 'hispanic'?"

trying to come up with a data standard for the concept of 'ethnicity', mostly based on the values in the medical records I have access to. It's an interesting hodgepodge of a concept, mixing national origin, language tradition & in some cases religion (or maybe subculture)

For those of you who don't have a subscription to the NYT...and for those of you who canceled.

@Dane @peterquirk now what's the world coming to when you can't even trust your friendly neighborhood ransomware gang?

@LotSixteen congrats!

We are doing 14 panels--estimated 4.4 megawatt-hours production in a year. How about you?

@insomniacviolin would it help to listen to e.g., white noise, or rain falling or waves crashing or some such?

All righty--wheels are in-motion on our solar install. We just need to get them a deposit & we can schedule.
