Really? Is it a call for a non-violent beheading?

by hristov 6y ago
I am reading past the headline and it seems that you flat out ignored the part where the article said that Bannon called for Trump to behead two government officials.

That seems a bit of copout though. Yes, sugar pill will not have a as high placebo effect but it is still useful as setting a lower bound on the placebo effect.

You can just use the standard sugar pill placebo. But of course make sure the placebo group get the same treatment of lying on a couch and listening to music with their eyes closed. I am sure the psychedelic effects of shrooms would increas

This reporter chickens out. He does not say that Murray lobbied against those black lung benefits for which he applied for towards the end of his life.

Why do you say this is "orthoganal to my claims"? It seems pretty supportive of my claims. Looks like swedes moved around less which means that they changed their behavior due to covid which resulted in less non-covid deaths than

Yes I do. For example, this is an article from the company that owns all of Swedens large airports saying traffic fell by 87%. https://www.swedavia.com/visby/press/swedavias-traffic-stati... Here you can see that

UK had mandatory lockdowns only after they tried herd immunity which caused the virus to go wild in their population. By the time they had mandatory lockdowns, infections were already through the roof. In general, scandanivian countries sho

You can find a very informative chart of Sweden's weekly deaths here: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1115707/sweden-number-of... It shows 2020 weekly deaths in comparison with a 2015-2019 average which i

Ugh, another way the Trump administration is holding back the country. The frustrating thing is this time the scientists almost got away with it. If they just did not invite any political DOE officials to their presentation, they might have

I am not sure what your point is. It is possible to change the phase of a signal. In fact, a simple capacitor or inductor will do it. With high power systems it might not be practical to do it with a single capacitor or inductor but it stil

It may still have an effect in time to recovery, which is important, both in reducing suffering and helping hospital capacity. Of course that has to be weighed against the side effects. In any event, I do not think that the $3K per treatmen

One should mention that the iphone 12s do not come with chargers or headphones in the box. So that is another effective price raise of about $30. It is a real shame because the fast charging feature of these phones really deserves an out of

Study shows over the counter supplement significantly reduces Covid recovery(investors.chromadex.com)

The over the counter supplement is TruNiagen. It reduced recovery time by about 30% vs placebo. It also ensured that recovered patients had better liver function (i.e. they were truly recovered). TruNiagen is relatively cheap, available ove

I apologize for being slightly off topic but there is a Covid study that came out just a couple of days ago that has been criminally ignored by the media. You can read it here: https://investors.chromadex.com/news/news-

Boy that is a dumb straw man argument. Nobody is seriously proposing getting rid of wire insulation for pete's sake. People are proposing getting rid of single use plastics, that are intended to be tossed out. If you bring your own bag

Hydrogen usually makes a lot of sense on a general theoretical level until you try it out. Consider that to get any useful work out of hydrogen you have to put it under high pressure. And if you put it under any pressure it leaks and seeps

The problem is that these are not made to crash-worthiness standards of other cars. The article hints around this when it says that in China an electric car that has top speed under 100 km/h (around 60 mph) has very little regulations

Not sure. That would be an interesting thing to study. There are definitely civilizations that died or declined because they cut off most of their trees. Indonesia, Athens and even the Dutch are examples of those. But that is mostly attribu

It would be truly radical to keep this plant running that far past its originally designed life time. In fact it will be more like suicidal. Not to mention that it is in a seismically dangerous area. There is plenty of energy in renewables

Have you ever burned ordinary plastic? The smell is horrific, there are some truly nasty poisons being released. Furthermore, compostable plastics will solve the biggest problem of plastic pollution -- the a-hole that just tosses plastic ga

As I have said before the solution is compostable plastic. It solves the problem with the smallest net change in behavior of the affected parties. As we have regrettably seen with the coronavirus changing the behavior of large populations i

Ok, many problems with this article. First the main theme is just wrong. It is quite a stretch to say that ruling minimal flat fee schedules illegal led to the billable hour. Flat fees are still legal and many lawyers use them. It is only i

This is mostly crap. It is a thin scientific redressing of the old right wing slogan of "stop whining". "Stop whining about being oppressed, look at me I am not whining about doing the oppressing". There is a lot of inju

The elves in dwarf fortress do that. However, the elves can harvest their wooden objects without killing the tree. It is a pretty good system except they tend to get very judgmental about dwarves cutting down trees. I do hope Gavin Munro ca

This is a good essay and an important one, but I think it completely ignores one very important aspect of the present social discourse. It is unfortunate, but some people in the world are politically weak and some are powerful. The weak are

Until you invent anti-gravity, VTOL will always be (i) very energy intensive, and (ii) and very disruptive to the surrounding environment. This is both in terms of noise and air turbulence. Self driving is something that may be solved and c

Guess what, people do not like being insulted. If you are going to say to a large number of people that their clothes and by extension them "look bad" you are going to get a lot of pissed off responses. It is completely healthy an
