Conclusion Review shows that Novamin has significantly less clinical evidence to prove its effectiveness as a remineralization agent in treating both carious and non-carious lesion. Hence, better designed clinical trials should be carried out in the future before definitive recommendations can be made.
How are subcomponents of an engine moving in space without ever exerting energy? I can imagine how this can happen infrequently but can't see how this propagation (movement without energy) is sustainable.
Given that viruses do not have a metabolism and are not able to produce their own energy, how do these satellite viruses then survive off of other viruses?
I don't even understand how without energy producing mechanisms viruses can survive, propagate, etc.
Can anybody recommend any good books on the matter?
His approach, reasoning and explanations have been very appealing to my analytical Mind.
Clearly vitamins are better than a drug that has been in use for decades with a proven safety record AND while being recommended by physicians bound to the hippocratic oath.
Why can't there be validity to both vitamins and certain existing drugs? (AND vs OR)
It as though we actively do not want to admit that we may already have something out there that can help us.
PS: Vitamins is a friendly name for often synthetic or derived compounds, not necessarily in the exact same chemical structure as found naturally in organic matter. Not to mention there are also various chemistries that affect absorption etc.

- Guy starts ISP and lays fiber, incurring +$126K expenses, now has fast internet
US is a much more competitive and diverse market in every respect (even with it's shortcomings).
My parents (and other immediate family), would move to the US if they could.
In the last ten years we (in the US) have lost +500,000 people to the flu.
For some reason the people that died from the flu must be lesser in value because nobody did anything about it.
You would think that a single year of 65k deaths would be enough for everybody to wear masks the following flu season. And yet?
No economic shutdowns. No masks. No restrictions on schools. Literally nothing other than vaccines that mostly don’t work.
Here is the latest out of California,

Making the effective death rate like 0.1% - 0.3%, if confirmed.
You are endangering others‘ lives each time you drive. And yet you’re not inline at the DMV surrendering your license, why?
Seasonal sickness also isn’t new. My coworker gave me the flu and I gave it to my grandmother. Who’s at fault there?
I very nearly skipped over to Adorama.
The mind boggles trying to resolve why a server cannot accept an order while staff is respecting Shabbos.

Considering that vaccines (in general) have been deemed "unavoidably unsafe" at the Supreme Court level, they are not completely unjustified in their fears. [0]
Vaccine manufactures cannot be held liable.
Thus there is a "National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program" put in place to compensate those that have been damaged by vaccinations.
To date, over $4 billion dollars has been paid out in damages. [1]
Just as mentioned in this article, side effects are major deterrents of any medication. And significant efforts need to be made in order to ensure that side effects do not occlude positives effects.

Tesla is betting BIG on NNs.
In the presentation they say that we have NNs in our brain. Which is why we can look at one photo of a dog, and distill enough identifying information in order to spot the breed from then on. Training sample of 1.
Curiously though, they than say that NNs don't work like our brains do, and require A LOT of training data from all angles, etc. Training sample of N.
The presentation doesn't actually show, how they plan to train a single NN to encompass all the knowledge for self driving. In particular, the looooooong tail. But maybe they'll have independent models, say based on "observed" conditions, which swap in and out ... based on more NN logic.
But at the end of the day, there is no known (to me) examples, of NNs even approaching human ability. Tesla is bascially hoping we will believe, they will be the first to show this capability of NNs.
Let's wait and see, 2020 is not that far away.
I saved seeds, plan to plant them in my garden.
