"In the end, the study group consisted of 291 patients (330 knees). Younger surgeon age was correlated with fewer complications" There is a danger in such statistics in that for example older surgeons may have been assigned the mo

Could be global warming, or at least warm winters (whether due to global warming or not).

You can buy cheap solar panels - cheap, because they are produced with energy created from fossil fuels. You are hopelessly naive. There is no such thing as a free lunch. Yes, solar panels exist. That doesn't prove you can fulfill all

Not yet, it doesn't. That's a pipe dream. In the same way, you could claim we have no plastics problem, because we don't need plastic. That would be the same logic as saying we don't need oil because we could use solar p

Wasn't there a reason why we shouldn't burn that much oil anymore? I can't quite name it, but it is all over the news lately. In comparison, plastic is actually mostly just an aesthetic issue.

We are not resource-constrained? What on earth makes you think so? It is genuinely news to me. Has fusion power been discovered? And even if we were only attention constrained, a project that doesn't work would draw attention away from

How so?

If it fails, it is a waste of money and resources. What about that would we "need"? Also, if it works, why not dump more plastic into the sea. After all, apparently we can simply fish it out again.

So counterfeits are an invention of Amazon? Amazon's business model is counterfeits, and they have no interest of curbing the practice? What a bullshit article, in the usual fashion: collecting a bunch of anecdotes, to convince readers

To me the magic is gone because I feel that even if I create something good, I still need the permission from Google to make it popular.

Just curious, how long does the outlining take? I've read a similar notion before (Doctorow claiming to write a book in a year by writing 20 minutes per day - but he also has a plan what to write beforehand). I am curious if outlining

I received a rent increase today, with an apologetic letter that the government is forcing their hands. I suppose I could technically turn it down, but since I have always been on good terms with the landlord, I a not yet sure that I will.

People being willing to pay high prices to live in Berlin is what causes prices to rise. It has been a popular place to live in for a while. Rent freeze will limit available housing and lower the quality of it.

by bubblewrap 7y ago
Prices are rising because that is what people are willing to pay. You can in fact get very cheap housing in Germany, outside of the big cities.

They are not building as fast as possible. They actively drive investors away. Before this rent freeze, they discussed expropriate big investors. Is there any data on AirBnB affecting the prices? The city probably simply got more popular, w

That would be a spectacular finding, implying everybody could become a good coder with a little bit of practice. I'm not saying it isn't so, but I think the word is still out in that. In any case, the solution seems simple: just p

I wonder if Chinese Medicine would know? They seem to extract medicine from anything that lives on the planet, so perhaps they would notice if supply dries up?

That's all nice and well, but I am not convinced that it scales yet to a level where you can say anybody not doing it like that is evil. In any case, if you decide on that logic, everybody who shops at HM is evil, too. At very basic l

So you admit that not all second hand clothing is still very desirable? It is nice to have such initiatives, but I am not yet convinced that they would be enough to make retailers of clothes superfluous.

I don't see where in the article they show it is green washing? They only mention some criticism H&M received, including the ridiculous uproar about the "coolest monkey" T-Shirt. If that is proof for green washing, it is

As I said, we give away the clothes that are not broken.

H&M is not "the beast". Having kids, I am very thankful for their existence, otherwise merely buying new clothes every year would probably bankrupt us. Before you say I should buy Second Hand: many kids clothes simply break by

This site used to be called "startup news", it is run by a startup accelerator. Many people here maybe have or hope to have their own company one day. It seems normal to me to defend the concept of companies. Personally I think bl

I would expect most of the time the counts actually are a pretty good indicator. There may be good content that is overlooked, but if something is successful, it probably has something going for it.

I guess you could compare it to criminals using the telephone. Invention of the telephone helped a lot of people, but unfortunately it also helps criminals. Likewise the YouTube algorithm helps many people, but criminals or unwanted people
