There's two issues, success rate (about 5%) and time ... even if it is successful in humans, it will be 5 to 10 years before it's available (and 20-30 before it's affordable) This …

They have a PDF in the downloads, and an epub one if you have an ebook reader like a kindle or kobo

Porque no los dos? He was a super-rich guy, who had had too many people telling him he was a genius for way too long (reminds you of anybody?), and so was way too sure of himself. …

This is one research paper reporting on particular results. It is DEFINITELY not too early to tell. Cervical cancer rates in Australia, which adopted the vaccine widely and early h…

There's nothing particularly bad for adult males. The benefits may be statistically lower, since you may have been infected by some of the variants already, older males may have fe…

That would be up to individuals or health departments, who decide what risk is high enough. The risk for non-promiscuous people in 'western' countries is so low, that I don't see a…

This heavily heavily depends on the population you choose, given the difference in sexual habits. As a data point, the paper below shows 1,213 out of 18,401 high-risk people in Fra…

It is some of both. Business conditions have changed, but also the bosses kinda collude to reduce power of the employees. Eventually some companies will start scooping talent up, a…

There's so many different people, and it's hard to know if that's made you lose customers. I would immediately discard any website that makes me send an email to order.

We do, it's not as if we aren't doing any testing. I've been getting a yearly prostatic antigen test for several years now. The recommendations tend to take these into account, and…

You only get that probability if the test results are completely uncorrelated, chances are, they're not. I'd assume the chances of getting a second false positive if you already go…

The way most countries who have it (including Canada) have solved it is to add waiting periods, and layers of reviews. In Canada, you need two different doctors to sign off on it. …

I don't think anyone envisions having no cars; public transportation make it so we don't need cars, and other nudges make it so we have fewer cars than we would otherwise have.

And, correct me if I'm wrong, they also have a person somewhere around and a big red button, right?

But a ton of us have a friend/kid/relative in HS or college ...

I'm assuming you're mistaken, given it provided herd immunity. It definitely reduces your chances of getting it. Reducing the impact also means you spread it less.

Definitely not, but having fresh herbs veggies available is amazing. With herbs, I think it can be cheaper than buying them at the store (we normally waste tons of herbs if we buy …

But ... keep in mind it will attract insects, birds, and animals, and they may not be cute :). Be prepared for more insects in your house, more bird poop and more possums etc

Maybe ... maybe not. Modern medicine does have magic pills for many illnesses; for example, antibiotics are magical for many bacterial infections, many vaccines are almost magical …

> I primarily write Powershell Core scripts for scenarios ... in an environment where installing runtimes for programming languages is discouraged. But PS Core is a programming lan…

Still, their actuarial chance of dying within a year is >5%, given their age and sex. Even with scans and checkups, at that age, a bad case of the flu can kill you, or start you on…

We're in the process, and may arguably already have, for the tropics. Get more panels, maybe some batteries.

I think we need to agree on terminology, but to me, this seems clear. The model is open-source (or open-content, if you prefer). The input data isn't.

Why is this false? The model is open source, Apache 2.

Yes, the system works, and we have very little poison being sold as medicine. The issue is that with some illnesses/stages, we do not have a good treatment, and a lot of people wou…
