That's still downstream of Florida's sunshine laws. If that happens in your state, there's a chance the media doesn't hear about it, or hears about it too late. In Florida, the media hears about anything that involves an

Can you e-mail me? I am coming up with a theory of emotion/personality and have some questions. Address in profile.

Instead, let's end prescription advertising for medication. That's where people get all these stupid ideas in the first place. We can write and read articles like this all day. But if Rx advertisers can create new, stupid ideas in

To the virus, the ACE2 sites are just a recognizable external feature to latch onto. The clogged sites might be less of a liability than the unclogged sites, but having more overall makes your cells way more virus-friendly. Quit now!

Hospitalization is one of the good outcomes. The people dropping dead in the streets, like we saw so much of in Wuhan (smoking population ~50%)-- those are the smokers. Smoking opens up more ACE2 receptors which is like opening more lanes f

It's not just Tencent. Plenty of people here have jobs or companies partially owned by China. Don't expect everyone to just be on the side of the people in the trains.

Thanks. This comment blew my mind. This perspective is so far on the other side of things that I never considered it.

It's extremely trashy to quote someone when they didn't actually say the thing you put in quotation marks. Bother someone else with your straw-man bullshit.

SARS-CoV-2 seems to hate both dryness and humidity. It thrives in mid-range humidity, particularly the chilly but not freezing environments. This take has held up pretty well. Look at how much more mid-range NYC is humidity-wise than the

He asked what he was missing and I pointed out that the headline was referring to malaria in mosquitoes, and not malaria in humans (as a human reading it might assume). I wasn't making any point about overall impact. One is simply a mu

I've noticed the appeals to authority have ramped up since the authorities have been wrong over and over, again and again. At what point do we just stop calling them authorities? At this point, the software engineer is more believable

Are you disagreeing with something I said?

For the mosquito, it's just one potential disease from one potential food source. Malaria isn't really that bad of a time for mosquitoes anyway. It might even increase their chances of reproducing by driving them to feed more on

It's a treatment for mosquitoes, not people.

It lets them introduce the story, get their facts up front, and set the tone. A full-page PR ad is kinda old-school, but very Big Ag PR. It's not about a stunt or pressure because they already have the kind of influence you make a play

Advertising isn't sales. Advertising is presence. If you're cognizant of an ad at all, then it worked, whether you buy the product or not.

Pay and benefits were the conversation before, and Amazon was a villain. Now it's having a job vs. not having a job, and Amazon is a hero.

It's not "warmth" but Summer . Drop the smug attitude and fairly compare it to other places in the Southern hemisphere. It's not a simple climate difference but an inversion of seasons.

Cool, can you compare hemispheres next?

Grinding up a mushroom and putting it in a capsule seems unpredictable, dose-wise. But a whole batch mixed together? It seems like that would be both testable and predictable. This is the way to go for sure.

Once we implement UBI, what's the argument against doubling it?

Opposite the "never-ending growth" crowd is the "everything is zero-sum" crowd. There are plenty of ways to be wrong about the economy.

I've studied this a lot. Narcissism and self-loathing are the same thing. The trick is that the self is malleable and can include others (family and close friends). It's a pay-it-forward system where the kid gets stuck in the vice

Go easy on him. Most "gifted" kids are children of narcissists, ending up with schizoid/schizophrenic or CPTSD-style presentations. The "prodigy child" narrative is there entirely to flatter the parent. Or at least

Yeah it was a great post. Just adding that note. The exponential curves are somewhat useful early in an outbreak. It's confusing right now because some places are still "early" and some places are way past the point where tho

The "curve" in "flatten the curve" is an epidemic curve, not a Bell curve. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epidemic_curve

The other reply nailed it. There is a sort of calcium "hack" your body has for binding to the iron. Try IP-6, colostrum or milk/dairy. At some point your body just stops being able to do it, though. IP-6 to me seems to work e
