   I think you bring up a good point: that some of the blame going to the researcher really should be directed at the review board itself. It’s their responsibility to catch cases like this. The fact that some people who were included in the s

   Just in case the headline is changed on the article later, yes cnn’s headline really does say “4th Covid dose”. But more seriously not only is this bad because they have data that 3 doses are not enough, but they’re also reducing the time b

    there might be some non-trivial deterministic unitary description via decoherence, but it should not be surprising that many people think that QM is non-deterministic.

    These are good points. I especially relate with the lack of extra curricular activities. I would just say that I think these effects are negligible compared to keeping kids at home with virtual learning.

    Looks like Portugal really turned their vaccination program around to be a real success story. As far as I can tell they are not reintroducing lockdowns? https://www.npr.org/2021/12/15/1063830104/portuga

    Good to know. Which country? Why are they implementing lockdowns? The other problem is that just hitting the % isn’t good enough. You need to keep up to date if boosters are required. So definitely not easy.

    I don't know why this is a common viewpoint. A proper Turing test with trained judges and human subjects who are actually trying to convince the judge they are human still seems like the best test of intelligence IMO.

    I think this case might be slightly different than the standard lockup issues. For example this quote: > BuzzFeed sent an e-mail to former employees reiterating the need to print and sign the e-mail in order to make the stock conversion.
