    I am the US Northeast and the proposal is to move to join the Atlantic standard time and not have DST. Season-wise and Lifestyle-wise, a study concluded that this would be a better…

    I don’t disagree that the transition part is the worst, but more people are supporting standard time because it fits better with the schedule of most people. I used to be on the DS…

    You don't do sustainable farming for the money. It can certainly pay the bills and some. Plus subsidies and incentives can help. If you want to make money you start a vertical farm…

    Lots of statistic. Especially anything to do with clustering, and how to analyze and compare gene and protein expression networks from various species, or tissues. Those are partic…

    Leting gouging happens also produces shortages, hoarding, mis-allocation, and crime. And no one starts producing new gas. Gas companies where not the one gouging to begin with, ind…

    Any examples? The main thing we see are individuals hoarding a product, setting up a shop to profiteer from an unfortunate and temporary event. The situation is temporary and it wo…

    I think a government should be able to provide strict guidelines on how a business can comply and get approved for staying open. Some States have that in place for companies that a…

    Wow. What an answer. All flaviviruses cause ADE. Only few attenuated vaccines worked as a strategy. And no they don't shed.

    Thanks for saying that. It is super flawed. I was planning to go through all of his replies to other posters and debunk them one-by-one.

    His assumption is based on live-attenuated vaccines. The measles vaccine being one of those. All the early vaccines where like that. The process only requires heat inactivation. So…

    I call BS on this. Viral shedding is a myth.

    So, it that motherjones.com article you link, it's clearly BPA they are talking about, an additive to plastic, not plastic itself.

    This is highly opinionated, since I don't know Greg Wyler at all, but I do remember his Terracom broadband satellite effort in Rwanda, which looked noble at first, but was more a p…

    You are OverBallooning what he just said (sorry couldn't resist). There is no implication that the system is absolutely deterministic or will ever be. Imagine a normal symmetric bi…

    I also find this weirdly dubious, but not impossible. I do know that to study human coronavirus in mice, we had to create a mouse line expressing the human ACE2 protein. I just did…

    And 1.8 billion people in stay-at-home mode, but you may not think this may have anything to do with it. Did you simply just woke up and decided to troll?

    The whole thing about warmer region being less infected is still very much controversial, and not backed by any strong science. India, like other warmer regions, has not been very …

    It's too early to say that. But if they do lift it next week like Trump is trumpeting, then it will.

    It's not a question of cost at this point. It's a question of availability of reagents and consumables, materials to make those, and time it takes to ramp up. The supply chain is l…

    I don't know why you are being down voted. The risk is for false-negative, but you are right that people might think this is going to clear them. Even the manufacturer/supplier war…
