In addition to a touching personal tribute, this article also illustrates the jobs crisis for PhD graduates. Someone who started his career in the 1950s works into his eighties, teaching from hospital, and dies less than a week after retiri

While this is an important trend, GDP is not the same as wealth. You could have the same reported trends with a static, declining or GDP.

This article has very little that hasn't been said many times before, for example in The Atlantic back in Dec: https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2022/12/chatg...

Sorry, it's google's Captcha3 library (it thought you might be a robot). If you have time to try again, I'd be grateful for feedback!

I think others have given good recommendations, but will add the Atlantic and New Yorker. Also agree that a problem with The Economist is that it is always overtly pushing a particular view of the view world (rooted in a faith in the ration

I believe it's not actually contrails specifically but rather the effects of releasing exhaust (CO2) at a high altitude (which would happen whether the contrails form or not).

Not perfect, but twice in two days is too much! I have other servers on digital ocean that have had no issues, so will probably put all my eggs in that basket!

Most views I've heard are that it is quite impossible to force someone to buy a company, but rather there will be settlement to exit the deal.

If you read the paper, it is not an accident at all. It was an intentional program where 14% of households fined under ACA received a letter to tell them how to enrol. A little sad the US Govt fined the rest but didn't provide this inf

Your comment is factully incorrect. The article cites three studies, only one of which (Gao et al) is based in a Chinese institution. The other two have lead authors at University of Arizona [1] and UC San Diego [2]. Note that [1] is specif

That's not the law in the UK. A throttle electric bike is still an electric bike, as long as it has pedals that can propel it: https://www.gov.uk/electric-bike-rules

In the UK, international fees are deducted from the standard fellowship. While already low, it then becomes a poverty wage. This practice should really be banned, if funding someone the university should do it a livable level.

Looks great if you live in a world of cast concrete and tiles. I would need some convincing that it could handle the dips/cracks/bumps in UK pavements (sidewalks). The video mentions a suspension system, but it is a vague, and the

Would you propose a national price cap on transaction charges? It would be hard to justify intervening in this way, given that there is plenty of competition and rates are not very different. Any transaction (even cash) has associated costs

It's a bit of a stretch to equate Paypal with "all American transactions." There are of course Visa/Mastercard (variable but about 2%), debit cards, Venmo, and older bank transfer technologies (ACH).

You are right that your body can burn muscle as well as fat. However, decreases to energy consumption ("metabolism") are minimal. Our bodies are evolved to use energy efficiently, if it were possible to do everything we do (or eve

A calorie is a measure of energy used, for example there is a direct conversion to kWh. If your body uses more energy than you eat, it must burn fat (weight loss). Our bodies aim to be efficient and won't expel energy, so if you eat mo

I didn’t say “not enough samples,” only that the population size of fully vaccinated people is not known, and that it changed in the observation period. Therefore, computing mortality rates is not possible, no denominator

I think the age of the vaccinated population is a confounding factor, I am sure vaccination has a big impact on mortality, just hard to say how much.

by twoslide 5y ago
I'm definitely not saying there are 640 participants, just that the size is unknown. Non-Covid deaths is a poor proxy of the population size, as that population is older because of how the vaccination programme worked. I don't thi
