A placebo is not necessary in this phase (phase 0). The most important thing is that the vaccine is safe and that there is a dose dependent relationship. The placebo will only be necessary in later trial stages. Now it's mostly to ass

I don't think they implemented the `no ads before 8PM on tv` yet. I'm actually surprised about how open they are about advertising costs per second for each block on the npo1 channel [1]. [1] https://www.ster.nl/me

Perhaps this is partly driven by COVID. A hotel is a great isolation facility. Having one for essential staff would be a massive benefit if you need them close by at short notice.

Based on the rules it cannot drop _more_ than 20% in a day :-) There are examples of it happening in other countries though. Zimbabwe and Argentina come to mind for some crazy inflation and stock numbers.

If you make things more expensive, less people will buy that thing. It will reduce emissions in the UK by reducing the airtraffic through the UK. Exactly the intended consequence.

France developed their own matrix protocol based network called tchap. Great idea for a nation that wants to stay independent in an increasingly american/chinese tech dependent world.

All you need to do is look at the health care costs per citizen of other developed countries to understand that the US is paying way too much in their current healthcare system. I'm aware that the US's healthcare system is unique

Those are usually airport fees and such, I don't know where you get these numbers, but the airline pays the airport for the use of the terminal, baggage handling, air traffic control, etc. This is different from tax, as without it you

Last weekend, I took the night train from Briancon to Paris, step in at ~21:00, step out at 07:00 the next morning. My first time in a night train, pretty surreal but pleasant experience. I had to take a semi connecting train from Paris to

Testing somebody without symptoms is not accurate. Additionally, the current tests are very expensive and remove capacity for other individuals with symptoms.

It's called peace of mind. Some people worry about their privacy being violated. Without the sim, there is less tracking, so less to worry about.

Which is very normal state of affairs for research organizations. They try to reach as much of their employees / stakeholders as possible. You'd be surprised how often the work issued email address is not read.

I read this as an announcement of the 'why' they dropped it for their own 150 active users. There's nothing wrong with saying you stop something because it has become too expensive. It's not price shaming, it's sayi

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the signal servers are hosted on google cloud, using encrypted traffic to obfuscate the point of exit for a signal user. This is why in the past, governments were unable to block signal without bl

So as I read this, this is a device you have to carry next to your phone for your secure communications. Sounds interesting and for the security minded, it seems it could have some real added value. But for the average consumer it adds a la

Professionally, I have not had to deal with a GDPR request luckily, as we have a lot of anonymized legacy data that is hard to track back to specific participants in our studies. Personally, I feel the conversation on data in many organizat

It means that they don't want tracking to stop. And you should _definitely_ trust them as well as all their partners. Good on Mozilla for doing this. I want privacy when I'm on the internet, without having to resort to tor-like s

If you say something is a joke, and post an opinion through a music video. You cannot then claim your opinion is logical. Protestors opinions cannot be reduced to a joke without any explanation.

Interesting to see that their test results are often very good (most of the NIST tests), but in certain other tests (Diehard Overlapping sums) there is p value inflation. I wonder where that comes from.

Really? How? What? Where? I honestly have no idea in what case / field the Chinese groups are miles ahead of anybody else in terms of genetics research. And I'm doing a PhD in the subject. There are excellent groups in all countri

I think this is Microsofts way to limit legal, but more importantly, public image liability. These models can be used for bad stuff, like the profiling thats happening in <insert unethical organization/government here> right now.

I'm not naive about the limitations of the freedoms that are afforded to a citizen by the US government, or my government for that matter. We should have more freedoms and say into our government, and it should be more fair. But here&#

One point that I'm missing, is that the government of China can legally force any of their companies to start spying. And there would be no way that we would know. Then often the argument becomes: But the US are already spying on us, s
