The ventilators used for severe cases of COVID run at much higher pressures.

Ingroup biases (race, class, religion) don't really become a factor until the outgroup is assertive. I saw this firsthand as a foreigner in Korea. The first few years I kept my hea…

Current research shows a 20~30 point SAT1 improvement from specialized coaching [1]: > From 1981 to 1990, three separate analyses of all the prior studies were published in peer-re…

To fix the problem of capitalism, you would have to fix the problem of pricing (=efficient allocation of) goods into supply chains, which problem grows as the fourth power of the n…

Afaik, for nonimmigrant visas they don't care about skills, but they do care about any ideological background (preventing terrorism) and they care a lot about the probability of ov…

Could you quantify the number of poor Americans who do not have access to clean water in the US, and provide some support to the idea that it is due to racism? My understanding is …

That is a useful system for middle readers with limited volcabulary to jump into high school / professional reading, but not so good for very early readers. Note how all the grecor…

You're right, and one would hope that happened. But not knowing the field or journal norms, all I could do was search the text for "Bonferroni" and "regist". In my lab if additiona…

The previous thread was very critical of this article's statistics. Reposting my comment: When I see a headline like this my instinct is to jump to "overfitting". In a study like t…

When I see a headline like this my instinct is to jump to "overfitting". In a study like this they use P=0.05 as their cut off for significance. One in 20 such studies would be exp…

That's an interesting point, but I was confused for about 15 seconds. Maybe it's because I studied Korean instead of Spanish.

Ordinary people occasionally need to be knocked back into seeing what they will lose if they keep up their present course of action. Life is full of temptations, most people are no…

Presumably a lot of domestic Chinese goods require materials from abroad to produce. Remember that until a few years ago China had to import the tips for ballpoint pens.

In English the word is forest fires.

Ultimatums are one of the best tools for people in terrible relationships to use: "Give up the bottle, or I leave." "Stop hitting the kids, or I call the cops." (Other ultimatums, …

1 is mostly things that the publication team is asking authors to fix by email for modern journals. Most journals will have a template for these emails, or stick them at the back o…

To be fair, if another 150 people die that will be the end of the 737 program - and probably Boeing. 300 more deaths is highly unlikely.

It probably has no effect: objects that are not in stable orbits around the earth are going to be in hyperbolic orbits relative to the Earth's gravitational field. A dangerous aste…

This is also why the protection of supply chains and international trade is essential. The cause of the Dark Ages was the collapse of the security surrounding the Roman road networ…

Market information in China flows freely. It is information about government mistakes and policy failures which is restricted.

Back in 2002 cameraphones were not as common as now, and even now it is probably acceptable to limit camera access to "massage therapy" centers. The trick with the Epstein scheme i…

Why not send a price signal separate from the grid, or use AC frequency deviation as a price signal?

Actually, having read the Science Advances article, it seems simpler than this. Institutions are being asked to warn their foreign researchers (not just Chinese) to be open about o…

This seems to be a relatively simple case of tit-for-tat. Chinese scholars were welcomed in the US, but a significant minority of them have abused their welcome (defected). It is n…
