Possibly, but it seems speculative to me that this was an important thing. I imagine it would have been very surprising and shocking to have a demo nuke dropped a few miles away from Tokyo. Maybe less shocking, and that difference in shoc

Somewhere between 1:1 and 10:1? If it's 10:1, then that's basically saying that Japanese adult civilian lives are worth absolutely nothing and can be killed without any moral concern, but Japanese children are worth the same as al

Then why couldn't they drop one demo bomb in a sparsely populated area, wait a week, then drop the second one in a population center if no surrender is forthcoming? Is the delta is probability of surrender really that much lower that i

I am hardly apologizing for the Axis powers here, I believe the war against them was just and necessary. I am just trying to understand the points you raised above without having to read through the two books.

You would trade off 200k Japanese civilians for, say, 1000 allied lives? What ratio is morally justified? If you are arguing that a 200:1 ratio is acceptable, I believe this is a morally bankrupt perspective, given that the consequence of t

(1) and (2) make no sense. The bomb is more likely to be recovered by the Japanese if it is dropped on a city. (3) then you drop one demo and have two real ones if they don't surrender to the demo within a few days. (4) that sucks but

I don't understand this. If they buy BTCINR, they will hold and own BTC, BTCINR will go up, and USDBTC will go down (ever so slightly, or not at all) due to statistical arbitrage traders. No direct USD transaction took place. In what w

I wonder if it's possible to prove that you can't end up with a non-deterministic system if that system is constituted only by deterministic parts? I get the sense that such a proof is possible, but I am not sure. We can trivially

I wouldn't go so far as to say unscientific, because as you say we are only partially adapted to it (e.g. lactose intolerance), and grains are an extremely easy source of calories which is problematic in a context of the obesity cris

If the underlying physics is deterministic, then a chaotic system (e.g. the Three Body Problem) is just a collection of deterministic parts interacting with each other, and is therefore itself deterministic. The overwhelming complexity and

It isn't bunk to eat whole foods that were favored by our ancestors. You'd have a better diet than the large majority of people. We evolved to eat this stuff which is exactly why we stop getting diabetes and obesity when we stick

Defence is necessary so it isn't a refutation of what I was saying. Also, there is no way the US subsidies of food and billion pounds of cheese in cold storage etc etc have anything to do with a defence justification, it is pure corrup

Industries and business absolutely have to be allowed to die if they are no longer necessary and desired by the market. If not, you're just kicking the can down the road. Give them a UBI if you are so concerned. Don't prop up zo

This is all so true. I append reddit to most of my google searches because I don't trust google anymore, and I don't do it in reddit only because their search sucks.

That's tied in with the need to be succinct. Expressing uncertainty often adds verbosity and cognitive load onto the reader. Often it also adds redundancy, given that uncertainty should be taken for granted in certain contexts. Note th

Do you have a source on the vaccine-induced myocarditis being milder? If that's true then it is indeed a crucial thing to keep in mind when interpreting these results.

Are there any problems with that paper that would invalidate their conclusion that myocarditis is more likely in young men who get Moderna than young men who get Covid?
295.
by csee 5y ago
The point is that it is misleading (or at least, premature) to say that myocarditis is more likely with the virus than with the vaccine, given that the context of this discussion is usually around young men and there is recent data that sug

That statement is inclusive of old people and women. I am talking about young men. The study says what I said above.

This same thing comes up in every discussion of this study. That statement isn't talking about the young male cohort. In the body of the study, it says the same thing that I said above.

> The rate of myocarditis is much higher if you get Covid than if you get the vaccine . What are you basing this on? There was a recent UK study (preprint, last I checked) of 40 million people that showed that the risk of myocarditis was

This sounds like learned helplessness. I have seen it in difficult R&D jobs where the hitrate from experimenting is very small, and people subconsciously give up. That's why hiring extremely motivated and intrinsically curious peop
