The linked chart shows that there were none in the 20-24 age range during the during the recent few years. Is the entire population vaccinated? If not (the article doesn't claim this), then the fact that no one in that age range died (

They could do that, but given how low the base rate is, the reduction in number of procedures (and the resulting negative impacts on the women) would be incredibly low. It seems the base rate for cervical cancer deaths under 30 was already

So 5 deaths across 3 years? Doesn't seem worth a headline, especially since it could literally just be noise in the data. Also, no need to post snarkily about LMGTFY. TFA should have included the base rate, and the fact that it didn&#x

Not surprisingly, many companies that start out as cheating detectors end up pivoting into cheating enablers.

Interesting to see "neighbourhood" and "centre" in a game about gerrymandering, focused on the US. Anyone know where the creator is from? Is he/she a transplant to the US, or someone from another country who has tak

Nor was your pun, at first! But it's more likely to be apparent to someone who is a parent (the alternate meaning of my handle).

I use ND first, then CL. I've used FB a few times, but mostly it's been scammers (though I have friends who swear by it).

Yeah, and investing during the last 30 years would yield incredible results even if you are lousy at picking stocks. And of course, if you'd put even a tiny bit into BTC, you'd have even more.

I'd be curious to know how the economics of craigslist works, such that he's made so many hundreds of millions of dollars. It only charges a modest fee for a small fraction of transactions, but presumably the denominator is big en

Grade school is years long, so a skill you're supposed to know in 3rd grade is one that you need to be able to faithfully execute for the next 3 years. The fact that you'll get a calculator in middle school doesn't help you i

Yes, it is nice that there are more ways that are taught now. It can turn into too much, however. Some parents I know dislike that their kid is taught 8 different ways to do long division, at the expense of having sufficient time to practic

It's simpler than this. Explaining a question/issue to someone involves going back to basics and covering all the foundational info that a third party would not have. When thinking alone, you gloss over this, and may not realize t

You think it's unclear as to whether AI will accelerate the rate at which diseases are cured? And if jobs are eliminated, that means costs will necessarily go down. I'm surprised how much people downvoted this comment. It acknowle

I wonder if this could work on computers, not just smartphones/tablets. Presumably so, assuming they have enough motion sensors. Could a third party dev build it, or is it something that only Apple can build?
