There's enough anecdotal evidence of re-infection that suggest otherwise, although there a wide variety of reasons for that -bad tests, they were never fully recovered in the first place, etc. SARS is believed to use ADE, and COVID-19

ADE has me worried the most. There's some circumstantial evidence that COVID-19 might use ADE. The arguments against it (from claimed medical experts) on reddit was basically "ADE is extremely rare." If the evidence for&#x2

When I first researched git, this blog post came up. It's been around forever. My first thought when reading it, though, was, "huh, we seem to be doing that with SVN already." Indeed, gitflow just seems to be a popular SVN

I worked for a large insurance company, my first job, when SETI@Home was launched. It was a typical large cubicle farm. I remember sneaking around to any unused WindowsNT workstation around me and installing it. Good times, good times.

I'm very impressed that the CDC knows the difference between a fu manchu and a horseshoe.

Singapore, too. Singapore was one of the first affected and have been completely transparent on their numbers and how things are being handled. The result is a relatively low number of cases given their population density. Meanwhile, nobo

If I was in your position, I would start with a labor attorney. First off, there are plenty of them. Second, they specialize in the employee/employer relationship. Privacy is one very common aspect of this relationship. If they are

I've had good luck with Cree, Home Depot's brand. I don't think any of them have died since I converted about five years ago. Lowe's is stocking GE these days, but I'm not familiar with their quality. The reason I

For things like polling, yes. Bigger is better. But scientific studies deal with the question "does this have an effect." In that aspect, you introduce Type I and Type II errors, and sample sizes play into the chances of making

by snapetom 7y ago
Larger sample sizes increase the possibility of Type II errors. Too small versus too large is a common line researchers walk. n=35 is completely reasonable and common in this type of study.

I like it. It's pretty, it's clean, and it's just the right amount of subtle recognition of its Native American history. Who cares if it's trendy? Whatever you design, thirty-forty years from now, people will be yammer

Tangentially related to this, I remember in the late 80's hearing about bacteria that ate nuclear material, drastically reducing the half life of plutonium. I assume that research went nowhere since thirty years later, we don't h

Because they're incredibly loaded, and frankly, idiotic questions. It's an anonymous poll put on by Gallup. No one would feel pressured to answer a pollster question one way or another. And "more fascist society?" Do

Yes, very true. Further, in general, the drug release schedules are US -> Europe -> Asia. This is primarily for two reasons - the FDA approval process is the most rigorous in the world. It would not be outrageous to classify Europea

Do you have historical data? Because in the BBC article, it mentions patents, and how drug companies have a limited number of time to make up profits. The article states drug companies have 10 years to make it up, but I think that's

I feel that Apple has lost its way with OS design in the past 5 years or so. Not at a macro level, but at a micro, "little things" level. Launch anything Apple-written these days and you'll get a wizard telling you how to u

You're deliberately choosing to ignore what is "direct institutional support" and using your own belief as to what it is. Tuition waivers most certainly are a component of that, and very often, a very large component.
