We aren't going to call the pandemic over because the numbers made it. We are going to call the pandemic over when people stop dying. Things were looking good until the Delta variant hit.

We aren't talking about a government. We are talking about private businesses. These aren't debates, they are shouted opinions to the ether. Honestly the bit about censorship not being bad was a bit. The "moderates" only

So reducing the deaths is the equivalent of supporting war? Actual moderates are fine. "Maybe you shouldn't get it" requires ignoring the 90% reduction in hospitalization rates for those vaccinated and the existence of only 1

What angle about vaccine skepticism isn't summarized as "it might negatively impact you so maybe don't get it". The vaccine is totally the tragedy of the commons. If everybody gets it you are just making your life worse

Is your claim that moderate voices are causing people to not get vaccinated then? If that is the case maybe silencing them isn't a bad thing so that we can get past the pandemic rather than wallowing in "would we should we" t

This is a really bad take of a complex situation. Peer reviewing is hard. Reproducibility is hard. Neither of these things being hard invalidates the value of peer review compared to gut ideas from random people.

Because "just rewrite your program in C to avoid GC pauses" is such a flawed argument when it comes to any production system that it isn't even worth discussing. The reality is there are limited resources to work on any given

Calculator said 400W for 1000L/s and my mental sanity check missed the duration units and thought 400W can move a ton of water.

Must have been a bad calculator. It claimed 1000L/s was 400W.

So I did the math and the average water tower holds something like 1/2 kWh worth of power. (50m tall, storage of 1m gallons, efficiency of 90%) Hydro power storage is fantastic but needs truly ridiculous amounts of water and height del

COVID has a death per case rate of 3% give or take. It is estimated that only 1/3 of cases are confirmed. Thus we lose 1% of the people infected. 70% herd immunity without vaccines is 0.7% of your population basically. While I don&#x27

I don't know that discrediting is a fair assessment. There is evidence of fewer or no markers in blood tests of patients who previously tested positive. Unfortunately it was impossible to tell whether that impacted immunity due insuffi

Technically the wild and crazy ones were "it was bio engineered" and "let's ignore it and gain herd immunity". The former was being touted as justification for violence against Asians and the latter would involve mi

It isn't that simple. We want to know what percentage of tweets have property X given event Y. We can estimate that using a sample and error bars. Note that the quotes specifically avoid this inference because the error bars would be s

So you are just using the "technically correct" phrase designed to make it sound dangerous? Dilution amount totally matters in this context. For instance the EPA limit means if all of your drinking water was at that limit you woul

Does this have anything to do with radioactive water? They aren't dumping radioactive waste, just water that has become radioactive from being near radioactive waste.

("The sequence XHH" or "any character by X or H") repeated 0 or more times. Is not the same thing. It is "If any of X or H appear they appear in a sequence exactly matching XHH".

It is probably a spam filter, downvotes are an imperfect proxy for post quality. Tons of low quality posts is a form of spam. You don't have to be posting links to things you want to sell to be spamming. No offense to you but typically
