If you don't want to drink and don't think you are missing out, then that's a very healthy choice. No question, and I'm not trying to convince you otherwise. As to why, however. It's no big mystery. It's &quot

FWIW, I've done this once in my Tesla. Fortunately nothing was immediately in front of me at the time, and I was able to correct quick enough. Here's how the logic goes: - Press brake. - Car moves forward. - Press brake much har

Many of the early studies weren’t high quality studies. And as I recall a couple were outright fabricated. It takes time to run randomized prospective studies and those are coming out now.

There's a foreign tax credit up to $100k. So, for the retired, I don't think paying extra tax is an issue.

Historically, 4% withdrawal rate is likely to last you at least 30 years with funds invested.* Currently people are pessimistic about stock market returns going forward so it could be lower (3-3.5%). And even lower if you want it to last l

I’m not sure what you think you are saying. But vaccinated + previous infection is superior to either alone. Hence the “super” booster nomenclature.

I believe this is in reference to those who have breakthrough infections while already vaccinated, hence acting as a "booster". Unvaccinated with an omicron infection is not necessarily the same thing, and isn't likely to hav

I'm curious what the percentage of Journalists use iPhones primarily... because in my experience it's high, and I believe that affects dev decisions to target which platform first. If you launch an android-only app, how much of yo

The other related factor is omicron is more likely (than other variants) to infect someone who has been vaccinated or previously exposed to covid. So the number of infected low risk individuals is higher, than with previous strains. The de

The big resource for doctors (or was back in my day) is UpToDate.com - which includes up-to-date clinical summaries of diseases, treatments, with references to clinical studies that back them. It was an indirect inspiration for MacRumors&#x

"They're not remotely the same thing. The former drops to less than 50% effectiveness after six months, the latter eradicated the disease." Would you only take the first Smallpox vaccine, or would you get the booster every

Most things on your list are fine and prob won't hurt, but you didn't explicitly mention one thing that has studied benefit which is monoclonal antibodies. Also needs to be done early.

This is firmly conspiracy theory territory however. The vaccine certainly has side effects and there are going to be rare side effects that are severe. But considering that 209 million people in the United States have gotten the vaccine --

It's not a neural network. It's not AI. It's not trying to interpret image content. It's trying to identify known specific images, but is using a fuzzy fingerprinting match.

Because even if I did point to official stats, you would say they are just lying? A few months prior to the AMA survey, Long Term Care Facilities reported a 75% vaccination rate amongst physicians at their facilities. So presumably higher n

It's always cost-benefit. Relative risk of side effect directly relates to likelihood. Risk of side effects vs benefit of vaccine. I am not likely to take an HIV vaccine, since my personal chance of contracting HIV is incredibly low.

That doesn't mean distrust of vaccination in general - at least by doctors. It was for a potential bioterrorist attack. It perhaps more reflects the low likelihood or belief that there would be a small pox attack. Meanwhile, 96% of p

I don't think "Philanthropy & Grantmaking Infrastructure" means what you think it means. There's a breakdown of which non-profits that includes, including the United Way and other non-profits.

Considering how widespread Aspartame on a societal level, you'd think there'd be epidemiologic evidence of increasing cancer rates over that time. Maybe there is some literature on it, but I hadn't heard.

It's not. It's a specific database of image hashes they are comparing against. Not AI, Not ML.
