Notably the paper that they refer to does not actually count infections it is all about meta analysis, and simulation and particle size etc No actual controlled evaluation that measured protection against the actual infection has ever fou

My sentiment is not about Kazakhstan in particular, It is about the rich westerner's naive gushing when visiting African, Eastern European, Central American remote villages etc "Everybody is so nice and generous around here ... no

This is a really good point, when an American (or other rich Westerner) shows up in remote area, they are treated like a king, basically you are treated as people treat ridiculously good looking and popular people around them that they want

Alas the information presented is an over simplification of the process. To actually sequence DNA with this USB thingy you need to prepare a so called sequencing library - and for that you need a fairly well equipped lab - expensive reagent

you talk like someone that never seen a school bus, let alone been on one I have, in the past, pre-covid, most people that drove the bus seemed content, happy to do so, cheerful, getting kids on and off a bus seemed a enjoyable time for eve

This feels like a leftist propaganda article. There are thousands of jobs that none of us can imagine doing because we don't understand what it actually takes. Looking at it, driving a school bus does not seem to be any harder than dri

is it fair to say "finally are forced to eat crow"? weren't the doubters right all along? And yes I understand that it is more exciting to support the new technology, but it would be foolish to dress that up as a proof that t

by glofish 5y ago
yes, I think you are onto something, for ever research paper they need to properly disentangle and normalize the various effects - controlling the factors. Sounds like disentangling vitamin D levels is much more difficult than say controlli

by glofish 5y ago
I agree, that they even have a dosage at which they predict zero deaths is nothing short of ludicrous. It gives away that they authors are unqualified.

There is a long history of Vitamin D deficiency being linked to cancer, heart disease, respiratory infection, stroke, diabetes, and death. For a detailed discussion of the subject see the blog post: Vitamin D - The evidence https:/&#x

pinning dependencies to a specific version does not seem to be a workable and practical advice, if everyone locked every single dependency wouldn't most 3rd party software be uninstallable? for any moderately complex software conflicts

A lot of people think that the current status-quo is the only way forward. Why? There is no reason for it. There is no practical reason why a forum could not have an optin-optout-delete API/protocol/etc that all search engines&#x

by glofish 5y ago
why does it have to be that way though? you are stating the current status quo as unavoidable - why is that? Archiving everything has a massive cost and if it were illegal to archive unless people consent it would be much harder to get away

by glofish 5y ago
There is an interesting conundrum here, when we post to the internet do we also consent to having that information saved for all eternity? Archiving everything is still a novel and not fully understood concept it is not that clear that it i

but it is not a one of the fallacies, right? It would have been better if "storage" was one of the main titles instead you get:"Fallacy 2 - 100% Lemon or 100% Lime or Bust" I am not saying that the author does not make v

I agree "storage" could be one of the candidates, but the OP does address that at all.

by glofish 5y ago
I'll save you all the trouble. The article contains a number of strawman fallacies that the author then boldly defeats. I do try to read about renewable energy - never encountered the statements that OP claims to be pervasive: - "

I am qualified to judge a scientific paper, but I don't think this should be a personal judgement call of who the "better expert" is. I am trying to avoid calling to authority when deciding an objective truth. On this topic a

I understand the concern and is valid - it is like the No True Scotsman fallacy ... is there a "proper study". yet all I am asking is there an RCT study on masks where they measured actual infection rates on a subpopulation random

by glofish 5y ago
I'd be eager to see a proper study (with control groups) and it would go a long way to convince me. All I have seen so far are studies that relate to case numbers going one way or another when a policy was made or not. Simulations, beh

alas, evidence to that efficacy of masks is severely lacking tell me, why is that 16 months into this pandemic there are no definitive studies to measure the actual effect of masks, you know one with a control and masked people? Yet it is t
