I should quit my job and become a CEO, seems like a pretty sweet gig.

My gamefaqs account has been used basically every day since April 11th, 2002.

Those aren't examples of Simpsons even taken together, but there was a famous (by which I mean it got a lot of press, including being written up in the Times and Post when it came out) study that showed that although every subgroup in Italian demographic data had lower CFRs than their Chinese counterparts, the Chinese group had a lower CFR when taken as a whole:

Some or most of that will require a warrant to access. This ad information can just be purchased, no judge sign-off required.

Yeah, it's an interesting question. 15 years ago every party and community meeting was a facebook event. Now we just do it via a messaging service or email or whatever. I didn't notice it happening, and I'm not really sure why it happened. Presumably it's a critical mass sort of thing, plenty of people don't use facebook anymore and so it's not as good of a way to get things set up.

And sometimes you can have two things that everybody agrees are different species but which happily hybridize (with fertile offspring) all the time!

The problem goes back to at least 1859 and was really codified by Ernst Myer in 1942, it's not exactly something we're just now discovering.

If we count my garage as a room, then it's room temperature every winter.

We should probably add a (2008) to the submission title on this.

Are the sites for those less terrible than they are for tabs? The problem here isn't using tabs to learn things, it's that the tabs sites are full of ads and popups (and terrible layouts and all kinds of other things not so easily addressed with an adblocker).

We should probably remember that he's the pandemic's wrongest man and take what he writes here with a grain of salt.

I keep telling my kids that they should wrap me in linen and dump me into a silty lake so that I have the best chance to fossilize, but they go on and on about "respect for the dead" and "police" and whatnot so I'll probably just end up in a box.

We should note here that the road in Wyoming, US212, has a really low average annual drivership because it's closed all winter long. During the summer, the Beartooth Highway is one of the more crowded roads in the state!

Seems like maybe the university could spring for a laser pointer instead of a long stick.

On the other hand, the Formula-E cars sound exactly like TIE Fighters, and that's awesome.

Jeeze, brains are just unimaginably weird.

Pushing the "Choose" button seems to lead to a Not Implemented page for all philosophers.

I do digital histology, and our (research) lab currently has 204TB of image files. They live in a data center, of course, but if my institution decided to spin us off as a company or something and we needed to move the data, it'd be way faster to download it to disk and upload it in the destination center. I'm not really sure we'd do it with just one giant drive instead of a whole lot of 1TB ones, but who knows.

(I'm currently working on sending 100TB of images to some colleagues at the NIH for a study, we're doing it about 500GB a night for the next year or however long it'll take just because there's no hurry on the data, so it's not just some academic thought exercise!)

That wasn't published in Nature, but in Nature Medicine, a separate journal.

I am not 100% convinced that this isn't just actual magic. The manipulations are pretty amazing and then at the end it's mindblowing.

My partner and I went 36-4 in our senior year* in policy debate because we continually argued that the federal government was inefficient and corrupt and we should instead just give block grants to the states. In the mid 1990s in Montana, that was a nearly unbeatable strategy. It's always been about finding the one argument that the judge will be unable to ignore instead of about the actual evidence you have for all the rest of it.

*we lost the state championship to a team from Hardin, MT, population about 4000 and guess where the state championship was held that year?

RFK is doing it because he's thought vaccines were bad for literally his entire adult life, here's an article from 2011 where Salon had to retract a thing they let him publish in 2005 on the subject:

i have some bad news for you

A proxy of zip code, maybe. That would be racially blind, a poor white kid in the midst of a poor black neighborhood would be just as likely to get in as their black neighbors would be.

It's going to be extremely annoying if Plex goes out of business.

The thing that Rogan/Musk/etc don't seem to realize is that scientists have debates literally every day, it's just that we do it in print, very slowly. There's just no way you could possibly sit around and think about what the data presented mean in real time.

If somebody steals your number, your bank (or credit card company) will send you a new physical card with a new number. Or at least mine did, ymmv.

You're not in a bubble, you're just old. The youths think gifs are corny and uncool.

It's pretty shocking how giant that engine is. Is that really how big they are on the biggest jumbo jets? Or is it for one of those super giant planes that carry tanks for the military or whatever?
