Sounds familiar: I had a one-in-four chance of surviving melanoma before I enrolled in a trial of ipilimumab 11 years ago. It really was an amazing breakthrough.

One way of looking at "Statistically significant" is that it's statement about confidence in measurement. Consider a couple scenarios involving unfair coins: In scenario 1, you have a coin that's weighted towards head wi

It's always great to get positive results, but this is very much old news. The two drugs from this particular study, ipilimumab and nivolumab, have been around for a decade, and they've been used in combination to treat various ot

This comment is gold. I genuinely chuckled as I read it.

I once had a friend uncharacteristically not respond to a couple texts confirming plans we'd made. I eventually sent "Are you alive?" and got a call back from the hiking companion who had watched her fall to her death two day

My understanding is that there's little evidence that patients (vaccinated or unvaccinated) have worse outcomes with delta; they're just more likely to spread it.

I’ll presume you’re referring to everyone involved in the gain of function research that led to the virus.

Road bikes too. I wrecked my iPhone 8’s autofocus after riding ~1000 miles with it on a handlebar mount. Obviously there’s no engine vibration but chip-and-seal roads have a similar effect.

The other comments point out that you skipped or ignored the relevant sections of the paper, but you also missed this in the abstract: > Organic farming is less polluting than conventional farming when measured per unit of land but not w

Those links don't actually address the point I was making: High CO2 levels may be bad, but it's a huge leap to go from there to saying that the air was better when it had cigarette smoke. For that matter, both of your links say th

Or anything to back up that air with a higher proportion of CO2 is "worse" than air filled with tobacco smoke?

I like Econtalk, but I wish Russ would talk less. He sometimes goes on his own digressions that don't add much.

This is a great idea. My current role doesn’t require any kind of BI reporting but the next time I need to build a dashboard this will be the first thing I try.

Downvoted both because of your tone and because other mechanisms (like people who’ve had Covid becoming more prone to reporting symptoms caused by other sources) could explain these results.

Recognition because I wrote something useful on HN or Reddit? Very gratifying. Recognition because HR decided to give out 30% more gold stars this quarter? Nah, not so much.

Totally agree on this. So many coding (or even data science) courses start with Git which is just not that important for a newbie.

I love this kind of stuff intellectually -- deep dives on how edge cases can produce counterintuitive results. But I'm surprised to see HN uncritically assume this is relevant to Covid [1]. This article deals with viruses that have tro

If you think the most regulated sector of the economy with all sorts of rent-seeking and barriers to entry is an indictment of libertarianism, you’re more than a bit off the mark.
