I'd imagine it's mostly a question of having the freedom to be able to work upon subjects which very much interest you, independently and on your own schedule, without much outside pressure or coercion to produce tangible results

Nah, it'll be USB-P PB (LiIon Annex 3) UP 2+++ over USB-C (constant cycle) USB-P 2+++-compatible (certified) connectors.

Interestingly, this employment of algal cells to deliver drugs is far more in keeping with the original meaning of the word which became "robot" - namely, "robota", which in many languages refers to forced work or slaver

Shockley deserves as much credit for the creation of that wealth as the wind deserves credit for an amazing photograph of a beautiful summer sky.

Better to know for certain (up to confidence and security in the encryption/authentication and key management scheme(s)) than to have faith in the unknown processes and systems of a third party. However, as always, it's all about

The most advanced AI in the world isn't advanced enough to solve that, just yet. Either that, or it's not worth it for them to use it to do so.

Either that or they'll send a C&D and then file multiple lawsuits to strategically prevent others from having the same idea, sure.

Indeed.Given that the design process started almost 25 years ago, I'd be more surprised if it had changed less than it has.

No, it's generally not illegal to fire the scam victim employee. However, it almost certainly looks awful in the press. My point was that the employer was likely trying to distance themselves from any accusation in that respect. Furthe

Honestly? This sounds like a constructive dismissal - designed to avoid claims of retaliation and victim blaming in a sympathetic case - to me.

Citus itself is AGPL, iirc, and it uses the PostgreSQL extension API and isn't a fork. Besides being carried in the contribs extension tree and possibly being a part of project internal tests, I don't really see what having it dev

Exactly this. A bulletproof vest will stop the bullet from killing you, but you are also very likely to receive broken ribs, bruises, and other mild organ damage. The point is that it stops the bullet. You do not discard the vest because it

COVID and the influenza both produce different responses in different people. You happened to get lucky with COVID and unlucky with the flu. Many do not and are not. Remember, you, as a single data point, aren't generalisable to a popu

So, if you want to examine the data we do have about risks from COVID-19 in the setting of comparative risk, including other diseases, then I'm happy to do so. However, I do not wish to speculate about COVID-19 by changing the topic of

Simply put: the flu kills a lot of people each year. We vaccinate as many people as we can every year right before flu season for it because of that. It's not controversial. Believe me, if you've skipped the flu vaccine and had le

Honestly, if you want to talk about relative risk, I'm surprised you don't have that information already - especially given the implications your making. Of course there are always other conditions and diseases, this absolutely is

I'm sorry, did you have a specific assertion or accusation to make? I can't tell.

You do know there are far worse things than death, right? Permanent disability. Heart/lung conditions. Mental illness. Chronic fatigue. All from a young age. This simple focus on death rates misses the mark entirely and it acts like th

This is essentially the same as replying "no u". The risk results in question are clear and numerically comparable on their own. It's not a complex diagnosis, analysis, or treatment issue that would require a specialist'

Oh, no, lol - just about everyone thought the NSA was spying on citizens. We just didn't know exactly how or the precise scale of the operation. Bill Binney and cohorts/whistle blowers were very well known ages before then. Heck,

Your supposition that I endorsed any of these positions you assert I did simply does not follow from my statements. I cannot respond to your rebuttal of an argument I did not make. Please, try to avoid non sequitur, if you wish to discuss o

My comment, as is, captures the tone I intended. Therefore, I will not edit it. Thank you for your kind suggestions. I will take them into account in future interactions where they are relevant.

Yes, of course, you're right. Unfortunately, Brandolini's Law often applies quite strongly. I simply do not wish to always subject myself to that and only wish to alert readers of the comment thread to think critically about the p

As you're an empiricist, you also know that a study with an n of 1 is not a study; it is a case report and should be interpreted as such. You, by yourself, are not generalisable.

I have another aphorism for you: If you distrust everyone - especially those who do not know each other and have little to no other reason to cooperate or seek each other out - no one is going to be able to convince you to trust anyone.

Yes, the struggle between knowing enough to act correctly and not acting because we don't know enough to act is the trade-off we wrestle with at the heart of medicine. This is what it means to do no harm. Improper actions don't ne

Yes, to your questions; however, do note that I am not the one publishing this unsatisfactory metastudy. As such the burden is on the publisher to produce something of value by looking up the pros and cons and comparing the two. Otherwise,
