14% is a lower bound. I suspect if you include studies that can't be replicated it's well over 50%. And yes with that much garbage the public should dismiss all new published scientific findings. Modern scientific publishing has been gamed it's nearly useless for learning anything directly because you can't trust it. Some fields more than others of course, but it's all bad. Yes this includes tier 1 journals.

You know I see these FUD articles every so often, there's some truth to it, but more interesting to me is the timing. BTC is probably going to see lower prices before the post-halving run up. This makes me think it's more likely part of an effort to get BTC at a discount then it is an organic event.

I'll put Lyn Alden's response to the cliam here: Bitcoin’s Energy Usage Isn’t a Problem. Here’s Why. https://www.lynalden.com/bitcoin-energy/

That might work for a few years, but if all institutions did that it would collapse the whole system. A university degree is for jobs why would you think otherwise?

Not a science journal, see: Proximal Origins

I need peer reviewed data to suggest that women want to seek the best mate possible? In the modern context 'the best' doesn't include as much weight on providing food and shelter.

Yes people are getting married still, but it's a trend that you can see in dating apps and sex stats

My hypothesis is supported by dating and sex data. And no it doesn't work at scale or for very long, but it is a driver of mate selection.

This is exactly why a marriage norm exists. You can't have large societies with a Signiant number of men not invested in it's future. They tend to find destructive ways to use their energy.

There are a couple of things to consider.

1) Women don't need men in modern society. They would likely stay married longer and be more picky about the type of man to bread with if they were stuck with him forever. The benefit is that women don't get stuck in abusive relationships.

2) Modern dating is turning us into polygamists. Women will pursue the top 10% (or so) of men and those men have little incentive to get married. There is a financial penalty to having children, but much less than getting married and having children. Of course this leads to single mothers with, at best, part time fathers.

Sure women survive more extreme conditions better than men. This includes dehydration.

Sure women probably hunted, but claiming there is no evidence for a "sex-based division of labor" is hogwash. Some hunted the same game as men, some probably other prey. Some probably gathered food depending on their child status and physical capabilities. The article focuses much on the advantages women are provided due to estrogen. Sure for some activities (like child rearing) and general health the female hormones make sense. But, I have yet to see any athlete in any sport (including ultra marathon) taking estrogen for an advantage. Willing to be proven wrong.

Curious that it's an inverse of the Asch experiments extraverts are more conforming in those situations.

"In conclusion, using active surveillance, mRNA-1273 vaccine-associated mild transient myocardial injury was found to be much more common than previously thought. It occurred in one out of 35 persons, was mild and transient, and more frequent in women versus men."

1 in 35 were injured.

Note: We know heart muscle doesn't really repair itself well. Damaged muscle is replaced with scar tissue. So beware of the "transient" assertion.

Sure, but there's a wider context of encrypting all internet traffic to provide less context for the stuff that is sensitive.

Give it up, the Vaccine is mostly worthless for young people. The analysis always compares Covid vs Vaccine. Most vaccinated will get covid anyway and how many booster shoots do you need given the effect lasts 120 days?

I have been using Blazor for projects in the last year. It's okay (still immature). It uses Websockets when available (HTTP fallback) to transfer the rendered page.

Steve forgot about the real Lisa for years.

There's little chance this will ever be supported by the administrative class at MIT or any other institution. By expanding protected speech it limits their power. They have fewer punitive options and less dominion over campus activities.

because cash is a dying animal and without it we have zero privacy.

No the vast majority of money laundering is cash. CBDCs will be used to fight that in the next 20 years.

She really hates "anonymity-enhancing technologies". It's not your money, it's a tool for leverage. Anything outside of the CBDC system is a threat.

It's also likely Twitter is just broken. They did fire a lot of staff. Also, in any broad move you are going to keep people you should have fired and fired people you should have kept (even if the overall numbers are justified)

The left just picks different deities. Fauci / Thunberg / AOC etc...

The standard is a p value of .9 or .95. Not a flip of the coin.
