Not a proper virologist, but H5N5 killed a person in Washington state recently. There will likely be some cross protection on the H5 antigen, just as some regular flu shots provide cross protection against the N1 antigen of H5N1. (The H5 an

Cancer. Most people who live in a city want the city to function well, and actively do their tiny little bit to see this happen. This doesn't stop them from flipping each other off on the freeway. More broadly I think you're missi

Did you read the article past the first two paragraphs? Serious question. Otherwise I think you make good and interesting points. Genuine economics has a host of measuring sticks, but we, the non-economists, really only talk about, hear abo

You're forgetting what people do if deflation is expected to continue indefinitely, and can also expect for their notes to be written off: They stick that extra money under the mattress. This is basically what a bunch of people did dur

My first thought: "Wow. They let you breathe into the room unfiltered?". Second thought is that any amorousness would be linked more to the donning, and importantly doffing, of the extra clothes in view of your coworkers. Our cult

The one thing a cardiologist should be able to do better than a random person is verify the plausibility of a ChatGPT answer on reproductive medicine. So I guess/hope you're paying for that verification, not just the answer itself

Could someone use a third-party AI agent to re-curate their feeds? If it was running from the user's computer I think this would avoid any API legal issues, as otherwise ad and script blockers would have been declared illegal long ago.

The point I was trying to make is that most pharma companies have many products for many disorders and diseases. Curing one of those diseases will make a few life-long patients for some of your non-curing treatments.

Yes. You can still get over 2000 calories at Taco Bell for $8 (this would be five of the Cheesy Bean and Rice burrito, my personal favorite). Even a Cheesy Double Beef burrito for the meat lovers can get you over 2000 calories for just over
