I'm slowly starting to realise that nukes are very unlikely to be involved simply because the selfish shits who start and run the wars know they personally won't survive if they start the nuke match.

I do worry, because the ones that die will not be the ones who reaped the benefits and remain nonchalant about it today.

Which means 2 centuries before we get back to 7 or 8.

Probably not fast enough. To actually come back to the population we have today would take a really long time.

Yep, carry a vice for long enough and it becomes a virtue. It takes a great mind to see this for the folly it is. So can't fault a normal person for not being able to.

I hope you can see that your friends are alcoholics. Drinking 18 of any alcoholic drink shouldn't be considered normal as much as the surroundings might indicate otherwise.

Abuse is a strong word. If we keep calling everything abuse then the only thing that would be acceptable is to let the kid do whatever they want. Which kid loves to go to school? So sending them against their "love" to school is f

What do you think happened with the sudden jump in EB1 backlog for India to 2012?

I beg to differ by a mile and more. If all you have to choose from are mediocre candidates then choosing the ones who hustle by preparing for inane interviews is maybe a barely acceptable option. But you instantly discount any great candida

More fundamentally I’m not convinced that we are not in a zero sum game as seems to be assumed under all economic theory.

There will be a period of massive upheaval when the fundamental tenet of all economic models and assumptions (perpetual growth) is completely chronically invalidated and we run out of resources as the models reset to something that’s absolu

Children and their parents exercising their freedom to do whatever they want is disturbing to you? Because some predetermined definition of “having a childhood” is not being met? I’m not arguing that this is the best use of their time, but

Can you provide some citations? My understanding is that omicron and prior strains have fundamentally different effects especially wrt synctia formation.

by ramraj07 3y ago
Many if not most studies don’t clearly demarcate pre-omicron covid vs omicron. I’d love to know what the science is on myocarditis risk from just omicron is.

Do you have any academic or even non academic reference for this so called biological negativity bias? My entire life experience has been that people are too optimistic for their own good not the other way around.

Do you think there’s a “shortcut” though? Sure most everyone (though not all) starts clueless at the start of grad school, but either you get the science or you don’t, my experience is that a good majority of scientists today never actually

This seems like the opposite of why or how I would go for talks. Seminars are the biggest part of academic life I miss on the other side. Hearing smart people talk about genuinely interesting topics in great detail is not something you can

This is like complaining that a National Geographic documentary is too sympathetic towards Gazelles. Sometimes the documentary tries to show the plight of the cheetah too. You can totally elicit sympathy from someone while just showing the

Most scientists who don’t have grad level math education fail miserably in understanding statistics. Even the top ones. I was the statistics expert in my lab when doing my PhD and I had no business being one. All I was good at was calling

It is caused by tech and by tech quite exclusively by Netflix, for sure. But nothing recent or magical thinking is to blame here. In the past people were dumbly forced to pay hundreds of dollars for a cable package they never truly utilized

Can you link to any discussion on how exactly NYTimes was the root cause for whatever happened in the scenario you’re discussing?

I'll always recommend a first tryst with "the making of the atomic bomb" by Richard Rhodes, he won the Pulitzer prize for it and it's my favourite book of all time. He explores the history and mind of every important per

It's not the intelligence of the parents or the kids that gets them published. It's "hey, friend, could you let my son join your lab and work on a project that'll get his name on a paper?" That gets them a paper. I

No matter how much you try you never get into any top school just by your own hard work. It's necessary but not sufficient. For example, admission to most top grad schools in biomedical sciences is only possible without quota if you ha

There's a difference between a scientist calling bs on some scientific practices than a grifting, crazed group of people calling bs on it. Can you cite the exact trials from your source that are potentially problematic so we can discus

This is like saying everyone who tripped on acid and ranted about mind body connection and oneness to the universe is now competition to Peter Singer. Coming up with the idea is only a small part of the problem. Actually pursuing it with ri

So VC is Bhrama and PE is Shiva. One monetized building and another the deconstruction. If you're mad at just the destroying entity you're missing the point. The rot of PE stems from the same incentives of VC from where I sit and

Sounds like apologia to me. Share the data and stop telling us how to feel about it.
