An optimisitic interpretation is that mask wearing looked to have a plausible mechanism for benefit, and so as the situation ran ahead of the data, the public health officials probably made a best effort guess that mask wearing will probabl

my partner and I found ourselves in the 60+ zone and we have had some fairly wild pest interactions. spent about 8 months battling spider mites trying not to use commercial pesticides (we found a lot of plants don't tolerate them well)

At the start of the pandemic there was not much information on the effectiveness of public mask wearing to stop disease. It had been studied a tiny bit based on SE asian mask wearing cultures and the studies from memory were pretty inconclu

This is not the same thing as goalpost shifting. This is just the result of changes to best-effort predictions based on information in an evolving situation. These changes often directly contradict each other as new evidence shows them to b

interesting. While I'm open minded to this, I have to say I am starting from a place of skepticism. I've come to view bike lanes painted on the road as a dangerous half-measure in most places. Studies show that Women do not take a

The red dot is quite bright, in a well lit area I don't know if I could distinguish it from a dim LED. On my carbon X1, there is an infrared camera or sensor right next to it, so in my case I actually have the IRlens and the dot adjace

Lenovo have committed a similar crime with their camera shutter design that includes the red dot from the thinkpad logo, totally ignoring that a red dot/light in the context of a camera has been used to indicate a recording state for a

I'd say this is cultural and you won't ever get the same outcome in the USA(or Australia where I am from). Car drivers think they own the road. In Australia there is outright hostility towards cyclists on the road from the proudly

what is your evidence for this? High wage countries don't seem to have a shortage of places to eat. if competitors are subject to the same labor market, all prices should go up together which would not give you a competitive disadvanta

Bad luck on vaccine betting and incompetent government are the main reasons. Others have elaborated in this thread.

in Aus we don't have enough vaccines to give to the people that want them. bad luck on vaccine betting and incompetent government are the main reasons.

"beds" and capacity can be synonymous in casual medical conversation. If the staff had plenty of literal beds, but no staff for them, they might still tell you that they had no beds, because they are just saying they don't ha

you misunderstand the zero covid strategy. The endgame is not zero covid forever. The endgame is zero-covid until we get as many people vaccinated as possible. This is the best result that can be achieved. less deaths, AND less economic dis

I'm interested to know what would be the trigger point for you here that might demand regulation. are you fully libertarian and willing to endure serious negative societal effects to preserve this one type of freedom? If you could see

Could it be equally likely that they are simply recognising how difficult it is to use data from dietary studies? There are so many confounding factors that are very difficult to account for. part of the reason there is so little consensus

I have also found this. it always seems to be a spec/display conflict and I think it results from us sitting between two very large markets. Consumer space prioritizes decent displays at the cost of poor quality-control/cheap comp

You're right, but I think it is way too early to make a call on that. I would expect the cost to diminish dramatically over time with selective breeding and the knowledge gained through experience.

Can you elaborate on this? One of the main benefits of growing these grasses/grains is that they can grow on land that is otherwise unproductive (we have a lot of this in Australia). Do you have knowledge that this is not the case?

"no contest" might be a bit of an overstatement. I'd agree that there is no contest when it comes to quality, but this is definitely not the case regarding features. There are a huge number of features available from lenovo a

I bought an X1 carbon about a year ago and it has been an absolute nightmare for me. It's true that the keyboard is nice, the display is good etc. basically it is perfect on paper, but I have had so many issues caused by bad firmware f
