That's actually, theoretically, the plan for a set of tracks adjacent to my house. In practice though, its easier said than done. Besides width concerns, which are easy in some places and much harder in others, do you really want young

Utter hogwash. The author makes too incredible fallacies here. The first is assuming that enough vaccine could have been manufactured at any one of the three points he listed to have a significant effect. The mRNA vaccines require very spec

I've continually been stunned that there seems to be no political support for shortening and simplifying copyright terms and increasing the public domain for the good of all. Europe used to have what I'd consider a pretty common s

Works featuring Mickey will be public domain, but they'll still have the trademark so it's not like everyone will suddenly be able to sell your own Mickey Mouse merchandise.

~6.17mm vs 35mm width or 7.66mm vs 43mm for diagonal, which is probably a better measure since the aspect ratio is different. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_sensor_format#Table_of_s...

The most eye-raising part of this data to me is that 3.5 million people apparently decided 2020 was the perfect year to move to New York. Even if I thought NYC was the place I wanted to live more than anywhere else, I would still heavily co

Pfizer trial demographics are on page 31 of this PDF: https://www.fda.gov/media/144246/download You can compare that with the demographic table of the US. Looks like they don't quite align, but are presumabl

In addition to your other responses, I'll add this. There's not really a plausible mechanism that could cause problems to happen long after the fact. Although it sounds exotic, the mRNA vaccine is just using the same process every

Excellent article. I've been extremely disappointed at how poorly knowledge about COVID spread and prevention have spread as we continue to gain more knowledge. It absolutely makes sense that advice was general and broad in March, but

And the concerns about 16-17 weren't that it wasn't effective or safe, but that given that age group has a very low incidence of serious symptoms or death that the bar for risks needed to be much higher since they compromised a re

14 day average case counts in my county are 10x what they were when school went back. But, we never went back to in-person schools for 99% of kids. Anecdotal, but it's certainly very possible for rates to go up even without in-person s

You're correct in principle, but when weighing the "unknown long term risks" of a vaccine versus the "unknown long term risks" of COVID itself it really needs to be an apple to apples comparison. We know both the vi

I've been willing to defend what has seemed like a very slow process by the FDA under the premise that when you go off-script in a well defined process things sometimes break. That said, the science part of this seems done. Nothing new
