Important to note that effectiveness is a relative term. One thing they ought to track in these studies is infections in both the boosted group and control group. Effectiveness can wane for multiple reasons: 1. Antibodies want 2. Variants s

Well yes. But what I meant was that at the time it collapsed, it was all fraud. There was no real business profitable business to continue. Fraud was what it did by the end.

Enron wasn’t a regular business caught committing crimes. The entire thing was fraud. There was no business left to operate. Same as Theranos. It was fraud. It is a massive mistake to conflate stuff regular companies do which may be illegal

There’s evidence that Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s may be due to viral infections or brain inflammation, and the plaques are evidence of the damage. So possible that process begins suddenly. Whatever the cause you’re right that is quite interes

Noticed any change in the past couple of years? There have been reports of increases in heart attacks following Covid infection, especially in younger people. However data moves pretty slowly. The article linked above for example cuts off i

I talked to a lot of people at the time. You could say things like: * There is no free money. Why would there be free money? * It isn't FDIC insured. Look, it is a lie * It has ponzi economics, etc And it would get hand waved away. Agr

Thanks! Hmm, can you drill down into sets of pages like you can in UA? That was a pretty key feature. I'll have a look, seems promising.

How does Plausible compare to Google's Universal Analytics? And are there any SEO effects? GA4 migration seems not aimed at general users, so I'm looking at alternatives. Ideally could import my data.

There's negative and positive feedback processes. On balance the positive feedback processes outweigh the negative ones. e.g. * Melting ice caps mean more heat absorption * melting permafrost releases methane * Warming oceans freeze fr

Does Open-AI make a copy of the data at any point? If so that's a copyright violation.

Funny you should mention that. The UK has avoid giving children the chick pox vaccine in order to keep up natural immunity. Thus ensuring shingles in later life. I spoke flippantly. There are specific diseases people do recognize cause spec

Germ theory is not widely believed. Not really. We wash our hands because we've been trained since a young age to do so, and generally accept that touching stuff is unsanitary. But that's about it. Witness the reaction to aerosol

Sure, but it's not nearly as costly as you'd think. We pay for all kinds of things. Including, compared to the past, much warmer air in the winter and much cooler air in the summer. Growing up we used to put on sweaters, wear shor

It’s very plausible in 10-20 years or so. Studies found a massive increase in acting out of dreams amongst those who had Covid. This acting out of dreams is a very strong precursor to Parkinson’s. According to this, 80% of people with it ge

It sounds like you’re describing pizzagate, which alleged not nearly the same thing as what Epstein did. Nor did the pizzagate allegations involve the same people or groups. The one doesn’t prove the other.

I remember lots of rumours about Epstein and his jet. I don’t recall people being widely derided as cranks Hell from 2008 onwards Epstein was a conflicted child sex trafficker. Hardly an unimpeachable target. There really were some genuin

That's still not right though. They didn't hit trouble because the market had a downturn. They hit trouble because when the loans were highly sensitive to rate rises. If you have $1,000,000 in principle, at 3% you pay $2500 per mo

That isn’t at all what the person you’re replying to wrote. the key to what they wrote is the loans were highly vulnerable to interest rate swings as there were no principal repayments. The bank didn’t bust due to HNW people going bust.

In my experience people don't generally believe noise is bad for health beyond being annoying. Do you have any evidence for your belief the health effects are merely due to stress rather than being real? (Or that noise isn't causi

USDC almost lost a good chunk of its reserve backing when SVB went bust. It was only the bailout that saved it. They had $3 billion of their reserves there. When you use regular Eurodollars you only need to trust your bank and you may have

Then you're left with two scenarios: 1. Users themselves have to see the stuff to filter it. This kind of work has burned out scores of classifiers. There's some really, really horrible stuff out there 2. The job will be left to p

Thanks. Seems it was put in place in the 1970s after the filibuster of a civil rights bill. Still think they should make someone talk somewhere to keep the filibuster going. Cure seems worse than disease. Doubt they expected routine filibus

How does that happen anyway. Why does the party with the majority allow a filibuster to happen without an actual speech?

I'm surprised Dominion settled. It had seemed as though Dominion wanted a public apology or a public victory to support their reputation.
