Maus, and works like it, are powerful because they show the history of the holocaust through the eyes of those who survived it. This recollection will include the way the corpses were piled naked, or the verbal abuse they suffered. The inte

I feel you’re dramatically underselling it - the book has also (reportedly; edit may have not been) been banned from the school libraries. But furthermore, the reasons given strike me as extremely silly - I can’t remember any even mildly ti

It’s very bizarre to me how you can get very inexpensive single burner countertop induction plates ($50-100), but multi-burner built-in cooktops are dramatically more expensive ($1000-4000). Anybody know why this is?

At one point I worked on a project where for source control the previous people would just copy/paste all the code in the file into a block comment at the bottom of the file. Some files were three hundred lines of code followed by seve

Dumb Question: How would you know that you're not just measuring that detrimental effects are identical across both substances?

Could you consider showing comment scores once comments are a certain number of days old? Being able to see highly ranked comments across all posts is interesting.

This isn't some everyday funeral home director - this fellow had previously been in the alt-news ( https://fullfact.org/health/funeral-director-interview/ ), with baseless claims like facemasks causing pneumoni

Notability is sort of a bad metric since it’s incredibly subjective. And we’re not just worried about extraneous inclusions in 2021, we’re also concerned about missing data points for previous years - there’s no real statistical correction

A potential bias for 2021 would be that: In 2021 some people are worried about a vaccine->heart link and for any given event may be more likely to document it online and/or add it to Wikipedia. As such we might not be measuring numb

That’s not a complete list for any year, so comparisons of counts is meaningless - again, lots of room for biases to creep in here.

That doesn’t pass smell test to me. A 5x increase in workload for funeral homes would mean ballpark 5x as many deaths. That would be apocalyptic and impossible to miss. Every ER doc and ambulance driver in the US would be talking about it.

Sudden cardiac death has always been surprisingly frequent in healthy athletes, so there’s a lot of room for observational bias here. (2016) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4969030/ > A rece

Worth noting that this is a review of other studies. They don’t find that these things don’t work, they find that the other studies are so low quality as to be not highly meaningful evidence one way or the other. > Although some studie

The Dropbox launch post is a great example of why you shouldn’t take (particularly dismissive) comments here too seriously. (This isn’t to dunk on any of the contributors there - but just a reminder that we’re all fallible and have biases)

That site just rubs me the wrong way. “Nearsightedness Is Not An Illness” - of course it’s an illness, an illness is anything that impairs the normal function of your body. A heart stent is just a little tube, and I don’t see anybody arguin

My only frustration with Spotify is songs that I like disappearing from my library because a contract didn’t get renewed. Not Spotify’s fault, but still irritating. For that reason I still have a “offline” iTunes library. (Well, that and th

The thing I don’t get about NFTs in general is that they don’t actually seem trustless to me. You need some sort of trusted source that says “this NFT is genuine and not just a bootleg”… and at that point you might as well just have that tr

Honestly, I’m fine with my kid’s dance or history or whatever teacher not being able to pass that seeing as how the test was given blind and in a high-pressure environment. The judgement seems pretty clear that the province was not able to

It’s worth noting that this practice test was not available at the time the requirement was put in place (P18 of the judgement). While teachers that were raised in Ontario would be somewhat familiar with the grades 1-9 math curriculum, teac

Anecdotally (as a counterpoint), we also went with teams, and it’s been… fine. There are bugs, but they’re mostly in the category of “irritating” rather than “massively disruptive”. It’s nice that teams is integrated with the rest of Micros

For somebody who isn’t super cyprtography-savvy, what’s the difference between over the wire and e2ee? Does the former mean that telegram itself can read non-private-chat messages if it so chooses?

Look at the first of the linked studies - it’s quite large (national across the USA and uses both between school and between student analyses), so I’m not sure what would make it completely invalid. As you asked, it does also look at studen
