This is a good question. It also highlights the danger of a lay-interpretation of these results. It is certainly already known that exposure to one viral strain can weaken response to others. But this fact has to be taken as part of a body

For non-experimental, non hard science, and based on the replicability studies of the last few years, and the things we have already known for a long time: I feel pretty comfortable with a prior probability of a paper's result being tr

So wait: Rigid, Milwaukee, and Ryobi are all manufactured by the same company (TTi?)? I had no idea Is there any actual difference here or is it all marketing? There are the only 3 brands in power tools I recall seeing, so this is very odd.

Online communities do this to many games. As soon as you have thousands upon thousands looking to optimize the thing, it isn't the same game you might play with your friends. Creativity goes right out the window in favor of tested str

I thought that Europe experienced sustained cold years in the 1600s? You can see something near the start, but the crop failures where close to the end of the century. Surprised this plot doesn't show that. Maybe this method is heavily

If he's guilty this is a more or less normal process. The real shocker is the stuff surrounding the leak in the article: It was one of the largest leaks of information in the history of CIA and a huge embarrassment for then-CIA Direct

Kids aren't robots. They are human beings with underdeveloped brains. You can't tell them something and expect good compliance. I teach my kid to not run into the street. He does it anyway if he gets distracted. He isn't &#x2

Win 11 will require a Microsoft account?? That's nuts. How am I supposed to set up shared machines that run equipment in e.g. labs? The users want a single account with shared settings and data. Am I supposed to make a new throwaway MS

We buy a ton from there. The price is a little high but not enough to matter unless its a significant part of your expenses. They save me money on balance by being fast and convenient. I'm a huge fan of their website.

It will still pay to put ads in to paying customer's feeds. It's more or less inevitable if the customers tolerate it. If you think that's impossible I'd point to how streaming services are now serving up ever more adds.

Good catch "With the small stellar radius, Proxima d ... equilibrium temperature may reach 360K," NB: Earth's is 255K. Venus 260K, Mars 215K. So this doesn't tell the whole story, but is probably quite hot.
