Inflation this time is in a big part due to corporate profits - unions and regulations are needed to give workers a fighting chance at bargaining power

Once desalinated, it becomes what is known as tap water. (Except only a few liters per day per unit) But yes. You’ve hit on the one of the absurdities of the headline: drinking water costs vary wildly based on a large number of factors incl

Title makes no sense. It says tap water is cheaper than tap water

I wasn’t talking about food, but anyway in terms of food Nearly all of food these days contains many ingredients that have not had lifetimes of evidence to back up their safety. Even basic foods have changed substantially from a lifetime ag

So ceo and boards increased profits by screwing workers out of pay and in return ceos got pay raises. If a ceo grew front line employ pay and also profits at the same rate, the ceo pay should naturally follow that rate. On the other hand, i

Massive amounts of palm and coconut oil are used for soaps and lotions. Any reason it wouldn’t be great to replace those?

This is the quote where they state they controlled for severity aka “accounted for”. I already posted it btw. Have a good day. Keep denying it. “ We found that vaccinated and unvaccinated participants exhaled similar numbers of SARS-CoV-2 R

Look, I’m explaining how to interpret the experiment results they report, which they base their analysis and conclusions on. What I’m doing is going to the original foundation. What you’re looking at is the decorations they put on the found

This is where the mistaken reasoning is, they aren’t measuring or reporting on that naive correlation between B and C that you’re focusing on. They are saying after backing out the correlation between A and B to get adjusted B, there is no

It’s saying indistinguishable when adjusted for severity. It’s like saying night and day in Yosemite are equally bright when effects of the sun and moon are controlled for. Look, this doesn’t appear to be sticking, it’s a basic statistical

Because their paper states it. That’s what is meant by “when accounting for etc” in: “We found that vaccinated and unvaccinated participants exhaled similar numbers of SARS-CoV-2 RNA copies (Fig 2C), when accounting for age, sex, presence o

I agree it is poorly stated, but that is what they mean, no extra impact beyond reduced symptoms and the benefit thereof.

Do people expect Apple to proclaim “our new version has incremental upgrades, only buy if your phone is a couple years out of date”? Product launches are always a lot of theatrics regardless of the company. I don’t think anyone actually tak

I don’t think this is quite right of a reading “This would imply that they did not find a correlation between vaccination and severity of symptoms in their testing.” Instead, I think a more accurate rough understanding of their process is t

I don’t quite get all the comments that are expressing disappointment- I think the camera and particularly the zoom is a great upgrade versus my 12 pro, and there’s a bunch of other nice to haves. I’ll probably upgrade next year though not

Edit oops didn’t see it which comment was being referred to at first. the study says severity was controlled for when assessing the impact of vaccination. That leads to an obvious problem as vaccines lead to lower severity.

by mint2 3y ago
This PR article doesn’t do a good job explaining but it seems the severity was treated as an independent variable and controlled for, so with that assumption the article actually does imply vaccinated individuals shed less - yes the same am

That’s not quite right - users are customers paying for a service, search, in exchange for a payment, I.e. their time and eyeballs. At the same time google coordinates with their other customer and swaps the time and eyeballs for money. But

Because not paying attention to the quality of the product means google is A-okay with the normal brand arc and is on the part where the brand cuts quality to boost profits while coasting on name recognition- I.e the enshittification phase.

Isn’t being cold leading to an increase in blood pressure a well known physiological reaction to cold temps, that will spike BP but not be the under lying cause?

Because so far courts have mostly upheld them as contracts - it’s crazy but it’s the current legal standpoint.

Didn’t bmw introduce an early EV in terms of big manufacturers, but then sat on their thumbs for years while others caught up and went ahead?

by mint2 3y ago
No it does not mean current gas cars have to be traded in for EVs. If something seems crazy or impossible, double check the facts.

That’s not a great comparison. If it was comparable to lead in terms of identifying toxicity, we wouldn’t be having this debate. So actually plastic is worse than lead in that it’s more insidious, some want to slowly kill things but it’s ne

As the article says on deworming, it’s not so simple: “Some medications for example could trigger inflammation as the larvae died off. An inflammation can be harmful to organs such as the brain, so they also needed to administer medications

Why is this a link to what used to be Twitter? It’s very unhelpful. I tried looking at the poster’s other posts for more info than a single tweet, but now Xes are no longer displayed chronologically so all I got were posts from 2019. When I

Egads that would be something - cars slamming on their brakes going 25 in the city and then blocking traffic is one thing. now imagine it happens at 70 mph on i5 because a tumble weed blows by, of which I’ve seen plenty, and it takes the co

Same with my ChemE degree didn’t want to work for oil companies, best alternative was switch to data stuff. Pay and work location/conditions did not make sense otherwise.

As an SF resident, I’m not at all excited about riding in them as they seem to drive annoyingly, especially right turns. They are slow and position weirdly for turns. I have contemplated that if a person from 1995 woke up from a coma and sa
