P hacking is easy. Get test and control groups. Measure 40 health attributes. Give test group your special compound. Measure 40 health attributes again. Keep only results that show positive benefit (avg. around 2 by random chance). Publish, profit. Data would be clean and does not need to be manipulated. The overall scientific process is rife to be corrupted as long as tester and measurer are the same party, especially when there is financial incentive.
Investigator initiated grants from Mars Edge i.e. the Chocolate candy company. Mars edge a health focused dept which has like a cocoa based health supplement.
I'm sure there can be many mitigation approaches that could reduce tire dust exposure by an order of magnitude if regulated. Vehicle weight limits in high density residential areas, plastic mix % in tires, toxic chemical limits in tires, etc.
Screws will weigh a lot more than the glue and take up more volume. You'd probably need 3-4 screws to keep the largest mass item in the phone secure. Also the screws would time it take to assemble, and increase points of manufacturing failure (incorrectly installed screws). Nobody wants a replaceable battery with the compromises. For smartphones, better weatherproofing probably decreased total phone waste vs fully repairable phones simply due to water damage.
They really aren't expensive anymore in the US if you shop around. You can get unlimited data, talk, text for $18/mo per month from US mobile, and you can even choose which network to use Verizon, tmobile, or ATT. US mobile has a new feature that lets you switch the carrier network for $2 per switch.
I've started to ignore studies these days that contradict how most humans would have lived, for most of humanity. Most humans would have had plenty of sun exposure and genetics would have adapted accordingly. I'll seek as much sun exposure I can on work days, but will never sun bathe for hours on end.
Phone calls should be a human right. The govt should just make these calls free. We want these folks to be able to connect with family and maintain connection to give them the best chance of integrating back. Charging for phone call is unnecessarily punitive.
There is at least some figures that are wrong on this site since they list exec comp as only $1.1M, then right below the total exec comp is around $2.5M or $3M if you include their other exec comp.
Really interesting, where is the money going, is surely not $500M/yr in nebraska college scholarships which is the sole thing mentioned on their website.
i.e. Buffet donates money to entities that are 100% controlled by friends and family.
For example: The ~$400M donation to Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation give out about 200 scholarships per year at a max of $10k per scholarship ($2M/yr total). At a 10% rate of return (BRK actually does way higher) the foundation earns $40M/yr. So only a tiny fraction of gains are given out. Since the scholarships are $10K max per scholarship the average payout per year is probably way lower than $2M/yr. So really, what is the purpose of this foundation?
Interesting article! Spells out in detail the different tactics used such as advertising, partnership with other organizations, policy/law lobbying, content management partnerships etc. that Israel used. Also interesting in terms of phrasing used, as the wording would be very different if say China was found doing these activities.
For the next set, buy something noticeable (i.e. bight yellow handles). I'd bet accidental theft will go down and folks will take time to return if they do accidentally take.
It's just a ROI calculation. A Russian fighter jet costs $25 mil, so a rational course of action would to weigh the benefit of buying another jet vs. buying a dozen congressmen, or flooding social media with misinformation to cancel a multi billion dollar defense bill for Ukraine.
They can and should. But the cost of creating these pans sustainably should be born by the companies that make them, and not externalizing costs to the people who happen to live near their factories.
Are they sharing search terms, type of doctors selected, symptom checking info which is common on these websites? Especially if all data can be use to uniquely identify this is pretty problematic.
H5N1 is contagious for bird to bird transmission as they have the sialic acid receptors for infection in many places, Humans only have these receptors deep in the lungs, hence low human to human transmission. But H5N1 has like 50%+ mortality rate for humans if caught. So chicken farmers would be at super high risk. Now if it mutates to be more human to human transmissible we're in trouble.
This is basically what humans do with frameworks that help organize our thoughts and ensure a more methodical and complete way to think through an issue.
So your argument is basically observational epidemiology study = low quality hence we cannot make conclusions? It would be a fair point if this were a single observational (non experimental) study. However when you look at a dozen studies on humans which all exhibit the same pattern where high PFAS in blood correlates with higher cancer rates then the burden of proof shifts to prove that PFAS is safe, not the other way around.
Theoretically it's conceivable that there is a separate, common factor in all the studies that causes the illness (e.g., people who are prone to cancer are somehow attracted to working with PFAS) but I think after the n-th human observational, plus experimental animal studies that at least show hormone disruption - we probably should on a go forwards basis operate with the assumption that PFAS are likely very toxic for humans, unless proven to be mostly safe.
Kind of intuitive. Bacteria evolve rapidly, the ones that are most fine tuned to an individual's specific body will be the one that persist the longest. PH, temp, diet, and variance of these by month going to be unique person to person. Takeaway seems to be that antibiotics should not be used unless absolutely necessary.
