You state this with no evidence provided. Nuclear isn't cheaper now, and won't be any time soon. If we want more cheap energy then renewables _are_ the right solution, especially in places like the US where land is cheap and there

This is written from a position of ignorance on European companies. There are successful midpoints between US style capitalism and communism. In Germany, for example, company boards (for large firms) have worker representation: https:&#x2F

This seems like an excellent idea. How easy would it be for, e.g. MS to implement. Are there any potential downsides?

I agree. I don’t want to overstate it. But I guess im also squeamish about people into Ww2 merch too(it’s a thing in the uk… people dress up in 40s dresses and pretend the war is on). It seems a weird period to be rosy tinted about.

I thought the Italian luxury stuff had actually gone now. Prada etc are withdrawing. At this point I don’t blame anyone for sanctioning first then Reviewing later. What is happening in Ukraine is obscene. If there is the smallest possibilit

Is it just me or is romanticising soviet era tech in weird if not actually bad taste just now?

I really like Microsoft’s mirror of CRAN because it’s versioned by date- you can install everything as it was on a particular date, so that kind of reproducibility is easy. I wonder if this could be added to pypi

India has a similarly authoritarian nationalist govt and looks a lot like Russia 20 years ago. I am very nervous about the direction India is heading.

His mistake is to mix up these plays. If he had stuck to that balkans play it would all be a lot harder to argue with from a western perspective. We just don’t know enough t about Eastern European politics/beefs. But he’s also talked a

There’s merit on both sides here. I think the key is that OP was making a personal Point about their own reflection. However well documented in academic texts or small newspapers thinking about how the US has meddled and more is not mainstr

This is absurd. The Russians being sanctioned in Europe are gangster crooks who robbed from their own.

I don’t see how stopping buying oil would be preferable from the perspective of a Russian citizen. Both will be economically ruinous to the Russian states, eventually. One hits innocent European citizens too, so it seems obvious which to c

Let’s be clear. The Russians being punished outside of Russia have blood on their hands. They should never have been allowed to buy property and football clubs in the uk, because they weee gangster crooks who had stolen from their own count

Is there a chance this is actually Ukrainian volunteers adding these as part of defence setups?

Can you explain how a Signal conversation with a verified correspondent can be wiretapped? My understanding was that their safety code would change and you would have to revalidate if anything untoward happened, but perhaps I’m wrong…

I'm not aware of those studies related to the Ioannides paper, but the story on replication in psychology and specifically social psychology is not at all pretty. My sense is that there are research domains that are functional, but oth

What evidence is there for that though? It sounds to me as though it's free market dogma posing as reasonable common sense. In social media, for example, there is currently competition. Yes FB is big, but new players are entering the m

PerhPs a smaller firm like this can’t optimise the battery though because it’s too capital intensive to do so?

They perform different roles. A biologist is not necessarily expert in epidemiology/public health, which is really the expertise you need to evaluate the vaccines at scale.

I don’t think people claiming pharma companies are going to be satisfied by data dumps. They will simply claim the data are fabricated. There is so little correspondence between reality and claims already- I think you’re making the mistake

There’s no way of running a controlled trial of this sort when 80% of the population have already been vaccinated. You can design better or larger observational studies though.

Or you can get an induction wok burner with a curved base, which are just phenomenal… i bought a de detreich but there are a number of brands that do them. It’s way hotter than my previous gas wok ring, and also doesn’t produce so much smel

The key distinction is not that China is more ideological (it's just a different ideology), but rather that they're is a democratic and rule-based foundation to the regulation of free speech. Both the democracy and application of

I'm not sure any of the those points is true always, and at the very least will raise the bar slightly. Blocking on a naive hash wouldn't work, but there are more sophisticated video matching algorithm. If they're good enough

I used to think this, but I'm not sure the evidence actually supports it. The UK has similar levels of immigration and overseas-born citizens as Scandi countries, but nowhere near their levels of social cohesion/social democracy.

But remission is defined by the same measure. It’s just an arbitrary threshold on the HDRS.

This comment is both patronising, rude and incorrect at the same time. Social mobility is broadly the same in the US and Europe. What is different is that people in the US overestimate their social mobility: https://www.economist

This. Although I have discovered why the jump cut is so popular! Actually, even inexpert jump-cutting does improve things though, so worth doing.

I have just added video tutorials to all my R workshops and have had a _huge_ boost in satisfaction among students (mostly < 30). I can't understand it — the videos are slow, inexpertly produced and have nothing that is not in the t

That’s not strictly true. It’s hard work keeping a hackintosh working. I think apple is part of that.
