Mostly analysis. If you understand section 1 notations, you are obviously set. But even if you don't you should still be able to get the ideas with a bit of mental translation. In a word the notation seemed unnecessarily heavy for the

What is the exact mechanism of recovery? Does this mean that DOJ has found the person controlling the wallet? As for implications: 1. Does this reduce the utility of Bitcoin to criminal organizations? 2. Does this incentivize future ransomw

Why isn't a small number enough? The law abiding distributors would follow the ban, thus making further seizures unnecessary. Though to be honest the EU ban only targeted export to countries with better conditions (lower case rate or h

I think your argument can be better if you qualify your assessment of risk for Australian women with the temporal constraint of "for now". Because transmission is low in Australia they may be better off waiting for a safer choice.

Clotting happens much more frequently with or without vaccination. The reported cases are a kind of very rare type of clotting. It's easier to spot something unusual going on when mutiple rare events are observed. In comparison there h

Here is the chain of logic: 1. First assume independence, that CVST is unrelated to vaccination. 2. Take any two weeks, you can calculate the expected cases using population background rate because we assume independence. 3. The number is a

There is no reason to expect that side effects from the vaccine are not present or actually dramatically higher from the live virus. An infection by the virus, even if asymptomatic, will likely introduce way more alien genetic material and

It is CVST not just blood clots. There are a lot more blood clots with or without the vaccine. CVST is rare so is the proverbial canary in the coal mine here. The CVST incidents give a lower bound on risk. The trial data give a rough upper

The background rate you quoted are expected to be spread out independent of vaccination. If you pick a two-week window after vaccination you should only expect 1/6 of the cases that are expected in 3 month, which is the number you calc

by fspeech 6y ago
That is exactly the point. Using the background rate you quoted from Wikipedia within a two week window you are expected to see around one case. So most of the cases can not be explained by the background.

by fspeech 6y ago
There's the question of timing too. It's not clear if the number includes all CVST incidences or only those ocurring in a time window after vaccination. (Update: according to NYT these cases are 1-3 weeks after vaccination, so the

Nike should clarify their statement so they don't run afoul of anti-discrimination laws. One consequence of their action may be that their suppliers refuse to hire any ethnic minorities, as shown in their statement.

You are likely confusing yield with coupon. The current yield of munis are below inflation. However their coupon rates are determined at time of issue so bonds issued a while ago tend to have coupon rates above inflation. What this means is

Google and Facebook have more access to capital, financial or human, than any of their competitors. If anything they are at a strong competitive advantage in this respect.
