Both of these are great questions, I wish situations like these were resolved with a recorded conversation between at least the accuser and someone who attempts to be unbiased that was involved. I recently had an acquaintance get cancelled

Are you aware of any studies that find a CoC to improve or change the behavior in a community? I'm probably overly skeptical, but a CoC to me always seems useless since it's not legally binding in any sense and no open source com

Can you expand on this? Systemd doesn't make network calls, so presumably you mean services started by systemd, which there exists an API specifically so you can do things like start a firewall before the network is brought up.

Agree with almost everything, but one point doesnt attempt to reason about the pattern. Why shouldn't I pipe into a case expression? It's visually pleasing, more concise and removes an empty line. Easier to talk about where I di

very good point - the entire reason for PoW is to "waste" something to prove you're invested in the ecosystem. If you can do useful things with that work, you're not really proving you're invested in BTC, but you m

It's interesting to see this argument framed as piggybacking off the state. The state creates nothing and the protection they can provide has already been paid for. There is no piggybacking, only expecting something that's alrea

a meta analysis makes this more interesting, not less though, no? with the high rate of poor quality peer reviewed research out there I find it hard to trust anything without a lot of replication.

you should reread what you've just written and think a bit about who you think the problem is we were having a conversation pretty tightly scoped to PCR tests that got loosened up (by you) to include lockdowns. Now you're talking

a single comparison really does nothing, here's japan vs sweden that shows the exact opposite - neither of these comparisons are useful for anything other than a datapoint that should be used to study the larger issue alongside all the

I responded to one of your other comments saying the same thing - norway did not have "lockdowns" like much of the developed world...sweden had more stringent lockdowns than norway. Either way a single datapoint doesn't prov

norway locked down with less stringency than sweden - you can see that using the only objective measurements of lockdown stringency (that I know of) in the oxford stringency index I'm not sure why you would state something completely i

your linked article simply shows gross deaths above baseline are not entirely accounted for by covid - that's not surprising in the least when you disrupt the entire world you'll have deaths from the disruption alongside covid. I

At no point did I say or suggest people not showing symptoms are incapable of infecting someone with cv19. I'm not sure where you've come to the conclusion this conversation was ever about asymptomatic spread. PCR tests have not

Incorrect, they are absolutely counted as covid deaths early on and will likely be re-categorized later, your article even says as much - later corrections are easy for car crashes, but they are not easy for misdiagnosis either way the cont

If you're knowingly annoying people for your own pleasure, I don't much care what your intentions are. You're either intentionally mean or too self centered to consider your actions effects on the people around you.

This is just silly, if you reject the methodology used in these studies to determine effective CT thresholds then it's pretty pointless having a conversation with someone who refuses to do anything other than restate their opinion with

Please cite your source that positives at >40ct can still be infectious since I've already provided evidence strongly disagreeing with your assertion here.

by toolz 5y ago
1st study says zero active virus beyond CT>32 and 2nd study shows 34ct is the cutoff for infectivity and that 2nd study also cites a 3rd study that ct>35 decreased to 8% active viruses All of those numbers are below 40ct - if this doe

do you know of a study that shows the opposite? Because I know of more studies that have similar findings. here's one I found with a quick google (haven't read the study) https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/

I think you may misunderstand my point. I'm not claiming covid doesn't go up and increase hospitalization - I'm simply saying there are a lot of false positives. Of course there are real cases that precede hospitalizations,

I'm really not sure where the disconnect is, because all of that seems highly reasonable to me. Yes, I'm saying people avoided preventative care because they were scared to go near hospitals - this is not a controversial topic, it

Well I don't really feel I have to explain anything? The diligent work put into CT by researchers shows high CT positives are very likely false positives. But I can offer up some explanations regardless, just for the sake of conversat

incorrect, PCR tests detect any virus matter - active or otherwise. This is a very important distinction since we've seem to lost our minds collectively and label PCR tests with a cycle threshold of >40 as a true positive.

by toolz 5y ago
unfortunately the false positives with our PCR testing is abysmal - in the US the CDC recommended cycle thresholds of >40 to signify a true positive. That is beyond insane - with the flu we recognize false positives are likely after jus
