Again, there is no identifiable difference between a virus harvested from guano in a cave that later leaks from a lab sample and the same virus if transmitted to a human. Nobody is saying this virus was engineered in this thread. It appears

Lab leak and lab engineered are not the same thing. The SARS1 virus escaped from a lab many years after the original outbreak (via accidentally being put in a fridge reserved for inactive virus and being examined under electron microscope,

To add to your point, it was a chain of improbable coincidences: Pandemic starting at the doorstep of a lab (that is not located in remotely close proximity to the Yunnan caves where the previous SARS viruses were originating from) Previous

Thank you for recognizing the ad-hominem nature of your initial sentence and moving on to engaging on the argument. This is far more convincing and made your comment far more credible.

You might want to look at the multiple peer reviewed studies I posted in a different reply, because you are spreading misinformation. There is a big public health motivation (completely understandable) for why they don't talk much abou

Something like this is exactly why my former company suddenly changed the q&a to have to go through a middle person before it could be asked to the group. Due to some of the states we operate in is legally required that our CEOs ratio o

Both Plotly and Streamlit can be self-hosted. I've hosted prod apps in both frameworks. However, I understand why you thought that, because both companies seek to monetize their open source software via offering ultra-simple, semi-au

Ok, so you should definitely look at Plotly Dash and Streamlit. They are both frameworks that have essentially accomplished the same goal. Plotly Dash doesn't use websockets though, at least not since I was deep in a project to build

Awesome work! How would you say it compares with similar frameworks like Plotly Dash and Streamlit which attempt to accomplish the same thing?

I used to work construction and when I was a teenager I worked on farms growing up in the rural South. If you work outside all day you adapt very quickly to it. During the adjustment period you are chugging water all the time but you event

You are correct she is absolutely not a trained journalist. I hope I can be forgiven for thinking she was considering that the article is under the news section of a website claiming to be a source of journalism.

It should be considered odd that a paper which is so extensive in featuring and promoting social justice (particularly on race) behaves like this. That is until you look at Amazon and other organizations, and realize that they use race ess

I thought the same thing. Looking at the last 18 months of utter and complete quantitative illiteracy on display in journalistic institutions covering COVID, I'm not surprise at this absurdly simplistic thinking on other subjects. Edi

This is horrific, and so is the "journalism" on display in this article. How did this tire fire start? Zero information written. What are the 4 companies? Zero information written. How realistic is the "plan to recycle 95%

The vaccine is free, and widely made available. The communities who aren't getting it, provided they aren't politically conservative, are assumed to be doing this due to lack of trust based on past racism, as you stated. This is

I think it's not a univariate problem. Our society is plagued by people who desperately want to simplify every problem into a univariate issue. Genetics has an influence, along with many other factors, because reality is multivariate
