You start with the null hypothesis. If consumption of substance X increases significantly but there is almost no evidence of a significant increase in the cancer rate over that time period then you have a large hill to climb out of in term

And most of the major meta-analysis papers have been checked and found to be wanting. Specifically, the ones that show any effectiveness all seem to apply a heavy weight to some of the least reliable or trustworthy studies.

I hate to be the one to tell you, but just because you were 'directly involved' in something does not mean you know what was going on. Every day courts are filled with people who witness an event and present their own personal vi

Electron is a pile of shit and _every_ Electron app I am forced to use should be a source of continuous shame for any dev who actually worked on it. This has nothing to do with improving features or service and is completely about increasin

It is early US time but still mid-afternoon in Moscow. The perfect time to try to bury a story or derail any conversations into dead-ends and flaming tarpits of whataboutism.

Other automakers _are_ putting out EVs. Right this minute. I have a choice of several nice EVs here in Europe and Tesla is not at the top of my list if I were in the market. So far you are making a lot of unfounded claims and assumptions r

Tesla's inflated stock makes it easy to acquire companies, but Tesla lacks cash flow so it is hard to acquire debt and enter into long-term contracts. Few companies are going to accept $150M in today's Tesla stock as collateral f

Probably because neither the market nor the real supply chain was ready. Ford sells more F-150s per year than Tesla sells across all models. When the F-150 Lightning takes off and ramps up production you can expect the consequences to be

Toyota ships more vehicles every quarter than Tesla has shipped over its entire existence. The idea that it has some sort of supply chain that others envy is laughable. What is going to be fun to watch over the rest of the decade is how qu

Well, since you obviously can't be bothered to do the research I will tell you. It didn't take them long at all. There were studies looking at the impact of boron-doping and gallium-doping back in the 70s. So why was a patent i

by evgen 5y ago
If you read the patent [1], you would see that a lot of the claims are around the process and environment that is necessary to get the proper doping. In particular, it seems to involve some rather specific pressure control within the cruci

Since both gallium doping and PV panels predate this patent application by several decades I think that it is incredibly ignorant to think that this was obvious. Like a magic trick, once you know the secret it appears obvious, but until som

Everything is obvious once you know the secret. This went under patent protection in 2000, which is decades into the hunt for PV improvements and decades into gallium doping silicon substrate (which started in the 50s at the dawn of transi

The last time anyone was drafted in the US the drinking laws in most states allowed 18 year olds to drink. So what is your point? I guess the government agrees with you: no one under 21 is allowed to drink and no one under 21 is being dra
