I guess I'm not very versed in website A/B testing, but wouldn't it be much better to analyze these results in a regression framework where you can correct for the covariates? On t…

It's claimed in the source economist article and reuters also claims it [1]. It's unlikely that the Chinese government wants to say how much it subsidizes, as this will prompt tari…

The progress we're seeing in solar has made me the most optimistic about a de-carbonized future in years. I have no doubt that the decision the Chinese government made to heavily s…

Here you go :-) https://e-justice.europa.eu/42/EN/small_claims?SWEDEN&member... This link also contains a reference for all other EU member states

Even if there were a cure in the future, there isn't one now. That's not the medical system giving up, that's being realistic. Having to wait while unbearably suffering is not some…

The Netherlands have drawn their line, have a look at their laws [1]. This includes a procedure where multiple medical doctors have to agree to grant someone a death with dignity. …

I'm very happy you're happy :-) Unfortunately this is not the case for a very small minority of individuals who suffer without a cure. I prefer these people to go through their pro…

Let's be absolutely clear, euthanasia is not widespread anywhere. It's legal in a few jurisdictions, and it's not something that is taken lightly by any party involved. It's extrem…

This article is disingenuous by only referring to expert opinion from a Christian university, which is obviously against euthanasia. Experts from other universities would provide a…

Thanks for sharing! I was always wondering how climate scientists were able to identify if an event was due to climate change. Now I have a good reference!

There is a very strong reason why Airbus does not publicize mishaps of their competitors. Once airline manufacturers start slinging mud at each other it will damage the carefully b…

Scientific reports is read in many places, including in medicine. Regarding your 'low-impact' comment I have a few thoughts. 1. Although this is a large study, they do not find any…

If you're interested the Webb mirror, and the relationship between resolving ability, wavelength and mirror size I really recommend the deep dive Huygens optics did on the subject.…

If anybody thinks this is a good idea, I'm looking forward to reading your opinions.

I watched the video, and only (maybe) saw STOL, not VTOL. Looks like they use two Dyson style fans for propulsion, which means the fan blades are on the inside of the fuselage, cou…

I guess I disagree that math and physics are universal truths. For maths, I would say 1+1=2 is a pretty universal truth (although it takes a while to get there in the principa math…

It's pretty well known that cookie-walls are rife with anti-consumer patterns. Going to something like formula1.com requires me to click more than a 100 times to object to the 'leg…

I tend to disagree with the assessment that the an artists technique has anything to do with how good an artist is. Case in point: in Picasso's formative years, he was a great real…

I think 3MF has some real practical benefits as outlined in the article. It may take a lot of file space, but that can be solved in a new version, specified in the header files, in…

Mozilla is really fighting the good fight for the users privacy. I've been using Firefox for as long as I can remember, even when there were faster and more fancy alternatives avai…

Great to see Groningen represented so much in this video. I think about 50% of all traffic movements are by bike in this city. This includes walking, so IMO it's pretty special. Th…

For European standards, Norway's petro; and diesel prices aren't that crazy. When touring through the fjords on a couple of vacations, I've found them comparable to what you have i…

Volkswagen has majorly invested in EVs. One important model Volkswagen has made is the ID.3 . Similar in size to the golf / rabbit. This is an attainable car I'm interested in buyi…

I've dabbled in Stan, and it's really good and state of the art for Bayesian inference. Starting using Stan is a bit difficult though, as it has a C like programming language that …
