"The paper received a great deal of attention, and was covered by over 80 media outlets including The Economist, the Boston Globe, the Los Angeles Times, and Scientific American." And how many of these will cover the retraction? A

This seems like a good diet, but it also doesn't seem like the vegan part is what is helping you out here, if you had ceased eating junk food and still ate meat you probably would have seen similar/the same results.

This seems odd to me. I mostly eat vegan just because my wife can't have dairy and I try keep my meat consumption low and I don't notice a difference in time cooking vegan vs non vegan. There are plenty of vegan sources of protein

We actually study it quite a bit. But nice job trying to distract the conversation onto a completely separate issue.

"Compared with cigarettes its damn near harmless." Maybe. Maybe it is. Maybe it is not. We don't know what the long term effects will be, and conducting a real time trial on 20% of the nations high-schoolers isn't the op

If by interesting you mean horrifying then yes. Let's be clear, tracking people this way potentially gives you information about their job, religion, health status, clubs, friends, romantic relationships, and family members. It is a ma

An important difference. You would expect someone to beat the market every year for ten years just by chance alone, you wouldn't expect it to be any specific person. I expect someone is going to win the lottery, I just don't expec

A big part of it is that on average the stock market goes up, so even if you are randomly buying stocks you'll come out ahead over the long run as long as fees don't eat it up. Another significant portion is that they have access

Did you know that Iran of all places was able to drastically lower their birth rate by providing free birth control and education? No forced abortion/sterilizations like China, just providing options to people.

Elite schools don't need tuition revenue, they get enough from donors they could give everyone free tuition no problem. It's about prestige.

This sounds like a pretty bad idea. Putting radioactive material into space orbiting the earth would be pretty dangerous, and getting something from earth's orbit to the sun is not easy. I think the risk of an accident under this plan

Larger than intended I would assume. There are plenty of reports of people consuming an edible, not feeling anything for twenty minutes, consuming more, and then having a bad trip.

In general a problem is that wealthier people have the time, energy, and expertise to manipulate the system better than poorer people. Another place we see it is in the usage of IEPs and other accommodations for learning disabilities by wea

"Negative rates, which mean deposits decline over time rather than increase, “would be bad for all savers,” said Juergen Dengel, a 40-year-old civil servant from Bonn. If negative rates were introduced at his bank, he would consider wi

Humidity makes a huge difference that is true. But even if it is 0% Humidity Phoenix regularly gets over 110 degrees Fahrenheit, which is more than hot enough to kill.

This is what really scares me about cities like Phoenix, that can get so hot, have a high elderly population, and are increasingly vulnerable to blackouts. What is going to happen if the city loses power on a 110 degree day?

Frank Sheeran is widely thought to have made up pretty much everything in that book I wouldn't take his claims seriously at all.

I mean, she did just get a whole bunch of people talking about Amazon's working conditions and have multiple news articles posted about it. So it seems like she accomplished something.

Special doesn't mean unique. This is the second time you've engaged in bad faith with what I've said.

the rest of my sentence was important too, I don't really appreciate you cutting it off to pretend I said something I didn't.

To be clear, community murders like this happened all the time in US history. The thing that makes this special is that the man killed was white and actually guilty of crimes.

I assure you that what comes out of Trumps mouth represents the average Republican voter far better than some policy statement on a webpage.

Can you name some prominent elected officials on the left who fear monger about vaccines? I assure you that I can provide quite a long list of elected republicans who've said some bananas things about climate change for instance.

Just to be clear here, are you saying that if you perceive people as being mean to climate change deniers that you will start to deny climate change?

You can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into. Or to quote Upton Sinclair “It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.” If someone is a
