It matters because if geopolitics. Any other reason given is laughably naive. For sure we should use this as a lesson to increase safe guards regardless. But discussing those measures would require actual domain specific knowledge, so you’l

A lot of people in the west (especially the US) are raised with the Sunday school idea that religion is something you choose after an objective weighing of ideas. The reality is that both China and the US have engrained cultural values whic

So has the journal this was published in disappeared off the face of the earth? It seems like you could give a better link than the pubmed entry. Maybe I’m missing something on mobile?

Interesting. I always assumed that republican positions were favored because liberals were hedging their anxieties.

If the data in this article is to believe, I have to wonder if governments should start expanding recess for young kids to a mandatory 2 hours a day. I mean if the effect of Covid restrictions is 17->27, I imagine you can actually go in

> Most of the first dogs of the Americas died out, for unclear reasons, and were replaced by European dogs—though it's not thought colonization was to blame. That’s quite an interesting tidbit. Has anyone read more on this?

I don’t want to come off as mean spirited here, it’s not meant as criticism. But when the article is full of “Japan this, Japan that”, and then you even include an experiment involving natto, it’s funny because it comes off as stereotypical

To me this is why the emphasis on “reproducibility” is misguided. You might end up failing because you lack the technical capability. Conversely, you might “succeed” by making a mistake. We should be focusing on coming up with new ways to t

I really like Tangle News. I get a 10 minute summary of political happenings in the US every day. Reading through that keeps me in the loop but doesn’t try and pull you down the outrage rabbit hole.
