comparable gains in bioengineered antiviral treatments If I was a pedant, I’d point out that the mRNA vaccines are not antiviral treatments, and this prediction was WRONG; the balance of power clearly lies with potential attackers right n

Yeah, I think the hopes of using it as a currency are pretty much dead tbh. This is evidenced by the fact that the most newsworthy stories are about the value of Bitcoin in U.S. dollars .

When making predictions you’re either RIGHT or WRONG in my opinion. If your prediction cannot be clearly assessed then it is WRONG. Otherwise, you’re in the realms of prophecy or horoscopes where most of the heavy lifting is done by the rea

Oh my god – it turns out there never was an asbestos ban in the US...it was banned in the UK and 50 other countries in 1999 I think (although there was a dispensation until 2004 for repair of classic vehicles).

The awful thing is is that when this video was being made, the dangers of Asbestos were already known and had been established decades earlier. Some of the applications don’t even make all that much sense, and are very much a case of tryi

Well, processing it or it weathers, releasing the fibres into the atmosphere.

Yeah, having asbestos in your home or office is OK, having it in your lungs is not. Not protecting people in the entire product lifecycle was criminal negligence on an industrial scale. They knew.

Bit of slight of hand there tacking Cryptocurrency onto videoconferencing, electric cars, and online shopping. Cryptocurrency did not prove more useful in 2020 than it did in 2019.

No, I thought the goal of those programs was to invest in the education of girls where it is lacking, and improving the representation of women in STEM fields to reflect their school achievements?

I don’t think Balls187’s comment is incompatible with mine really – they can both be true, even if the anecdote turned out to hold generally.

Sure, the UK GCSE data has shown a gap for the past 30 years: https://www.buckingham.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/GCSE... Edited to add: please also see the work from David Figlio et al. mentioned in

Could it be that girls get tons of encouragement Definitely not, because this gender difference far predates our belief as a society that women are as capable as men in STEM subjects and careers.

This was widely being talked about at least thirty years ago. The elephant in the room is that Boys’ academic underperformance is tied to class, and thus resolving the issue has gone nowhere, because there’s no such thing as class and becau

The article is a bit light on details. Where are the scientific papers on this? Until we get the details, the headline is kind of meaningless. I’m pretty sure I could produce the same amount of macronutrients as a 2 acre vertical farm in an

The innovator’s dilemma doesn’t apply to USA vs China; it’s not like the USA would want to become a developing country again. Besides that, seven years is a long time: China obviously has favourable characteristics in terms of population si

Well if we’re going down that road, technically whoever did the conveyance and survey should be on the hook as they provided the advice that formed the basis of the purchase. They won’t be though.

Ah right, sorry I didn’t make that connection...I thought you were proposing a better way for teams to organise. I guess I won’t be following you through that exit, but all the best and good luck for the future. I admire your courage in the

Lol at trying to shame BMW drivers. Do they do any market research on how their products are used?

Absolutely awful, a disgrace to humanity. They burnt people alive to profit from their miserable little scam business. No matter how hard I squint, I just can’t make sense of their actions. This list is a terrifying glimpse of how the entir

I think calling that statement religiosity is probably a bit too strong, but I’ll grant you that it’s not quite right; it is of course possible to construct a simpler process. I would modify that slightly to state that they would be una

If Scrum is too hard for people to adopt, then that's a valid criticism when it comes to its impact on the wider industry. However, what we can't do is fail to adopt it properly and then generalise our criticism of that new proces

I don’t find this to be a compelling argument. Sure, the old person might be saying “I wish I’d worked less”...it doesn’t follow that working less will actually make you any happier for most of your life. Constructing your life so you’ll

This doesn’t really sound like SCRUM. One of the key notions is that teams work at a sustainable pace; if there’s not enough time to deal with tech debt and people are burning out then this pace is by definition unsustainable. The working c

Plastics have been in common use for well over a century. So where are the people made ill from microplastics, and what are they suffering from? You want particles in the human body? I can find you particles. The question of disease signifi
