The Wikipedia article you linked to says that work was not peer-reviewed and four academic reviews were published criticising it (with only one positive review which still said it had shortcomings). You can choose to believe that Chernobyl

The data used by that study is actually based on the pessimistic estimates from the older WHO analysis. If you use the more modern estimates by the UNSCEAR (the United Nations body dealing with effects of radiation), nuclear power is safer

If markets stop being efficient at price discovery, why wouldn't active managers and hedge funds exploit that inefficiency? In other words, why are active managers and their supporters arguing that they aren't good at their job? (

If you look at the page from the time when the incident occurred[1], there is no such text anywhere on that page. It's almost as if they added the text in response to the threat of lawsuits. The only disclaimer is: > Please note tha

It really depends on what you like. I personally just found Japanese versions of what I liked watching in English (cooking shows, true crime, some comedy, let's plays). Interestingly I found a new interest in house makeover shows after

I was told a while ago that rebalancing could get into pathological cases fairly easily (on openSUSE we used to run a rebalance in a cron job and it turns out this would grind machines to a halt). I still use btrfs and haven't had this

I started learning Japanese about two years ago now and now all of the time I used to waste watching YouTube is spent watching YouTube in Japanese as language practice. It's still the same activity but is at least somewhat productive.

I would be very happy if more research time was spent on the replicability crisis. I don't consider "actually this paper is garbage and we cannot trust its conclusions" to be "expunging" -- it's an improvement

Probably not a good idea to do a whataboutism when we're talking about the actual Nazis. I don't have anything more to say on the topic -- you're completely ignoring the fact that the data that we got from the one Nazi exper

If you used Docker on your machine, this was a bug in the remount code (they forgot to re-trigger the qgroup scan if it was interrupted when you did an rw-remount) which I fixed several years ago[1]. I don't know what that will do for

Matthew Wilcox is one of the people who developed Maple Trees in the first place[1]. I don't particularly like the sound of this interface either but if he views the mmap_lock issue to be that fundamental then he's one of the few

Most of the "experiments" done in Nazi concentration camps were actually very bad science by any metric and was just a manner of torturing and disfiguring prisoners. The remaining handful of experiments (the hypothermia and high-a

I don't know if Germany has capital loss discounts, but in Australia at least, a capital loss can be used to offset a gain (or a future gain). So the fact that you can make a capital loss doesn't make taxing profits ridiculous. Fo
