> Or just stop, or reduce as much as possible, the amount of crap we eat? Finding out what crap is, is really really hard if you want to be scientific. It may be possible for some bigger categories. Reducing is also really, really hard.

Yes, but the reason for that is, that Switzerland has a really difficult naturalisation process and is a smaller country. If all humans migrate a similar distance on average, you would expect that a smaller country that is surrounded by oth

If the cost for every individual treatment is low, then the cost per treatment gets lower with more patients that can benefit from it.

> 8-core/16threaded Xeon CPU What generation and what frequency? Those things can be quite dissapointing for what they cost compared to consumer CPUs. I would expect the 5950X to be around 3-6 times faster than an 8 core Xeon.

Is venture capital or private equity really uncorrelated to the general stock market? It is also difficult to evaluate the volatility of an asset if the price is evaluated infrequently. Imagine how good the stock market would look, if you o

Ah, success, luck and skill. A really interesting topic. There is also a very good Veritasium Video about that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LopI4YeC4I

There is an easy solution for this problem. Everyone with the link can access the article. Everyone who subscribes can access the links for the articles and share them.

like lwn.net? A local digital, ad free and independent magazine (republik.ch) has the same model. Everyone with a link can access an article. Everyone with a subscription has access to the links for the articles and can share them.

Would't any preexisting immunity be accounted for by any decent estimate for R0 and the IFR?

You don't need malice to get false deaths counts.

How do you know, that the test wasn't tested? Most good seroprevalence studies combine the two.

by xorfish 6y ago
Not really, "immune" people can still contract and transmit the virus. So the effect of T-Cell immunity is already accounted for in R0 and IFR estimates.

And it doesn't matter if the facial recognition is done by a human or a machine. They both produce false results on a regular basis.

It is an advantage that priors must be explicitly chosen. There is always a prior. The question is how aware you are of it.

They can do that with other taxes. I don't see the point here. If we take a flat percentage of the spending and give everyone the same fixed amount, poorer people will profit more than rich people.

Where do you get the unquestionably knowledge, that the poor will suffer the most from a carbon tax?

zen, zen+ and zen2 are the architecture. Threadripper and Ryzen are product lines. I find that quite straight forward. The really confusing part is, is that the Ryzen 4000 APUs will be zen2 architecture but the desktop CPUs without APUs or
