Flattening the curve is not all-or-nothing as you imply. If we marginally exceed hospital capacity (in a given area) we will have a small number of people who cannot get the treatment they need. At that point every additional patient is ano

The first paragraph (actually it's only one sentence) will tell you that Attenborough is echoing the results of a study (whose authors certainly have credibility) which focuses on biodiversity loss (not climate change).

The analyses and speculation in the article place too much emphasis on sex / gender and too little on general diversity of physical characteristics. But perhaps I am jumping to that conclusion because I regard India as having archaic,

"That material truly doesn't exist anywhere." Technically, doesn't the data exist as radiowaves traveling at lightspeed away from their broadcast source on earth?

"Getting started in biology" and "starting a biotech company" to me are opposite ends of a continuum, akin to "learning how to walk" vs "training for a marathon". I made the transition from web dev to

This is nice but I don't see how it is relevant to the article: "Here's some advice about mentorship." -- "Here is better unrelated advice!"

Sure but keep in mind that there is no objective, this is just free expression, or, an art project.

I felt similarly while at college.. until I got a bike. Urban bicycling has changed my life entirely. Did you ever try it? What used to be a 20 minute walk becomes a 5 minute glide. In SF and Montreal, google maps even acknowledges that mos

In your example you started at 1/3 (33.33%) and moved to 58/210 (27.62%). What does this limit approach ad infinitum?

Not to mention the coast, Embarcadero to Marina to the presidio, all super bike friendly. In general I think the city is quite bikeable. Sure I wouldn't want my kids to bike around it, but I wouldn't want them in SF in general lol
