I was pretty excited about this result until actually going through the quiz. They give you so many hints, I don't think you can draw conclusions from this. For example: - In multi…

Can anyone explain these timelines better? Can we throw more money at this and scale much faster? Are safety/regulation considerations the main bottleneck? This has gotta be one of…

The author did not claim that Delta's origin was a lab leak. Just that there was one isolated case of it. And so it stands to reason, other lab leaks may also be occurring.

This is one of the best articles I’ve read in awhile - thank you!

Here's an attempt at a summary of this article: · Became dominant strain in South Africa in like a week (way faster than Delta). Must be either a superspreader event, much more tra…

I couldn’t find the headline/title anywhere in the slides. Where is that from?

I didn’t assume that of you at all, I actually had assumed the opposite and that you had experience in the area. I agree it would be challenging to have deep and useful markets, bu…

It’s a bit presumptuous that these folks don’t understand what makes markets work. They went into quite a bit of detail but can’t cover everything. Most of the examples were quite …

We’re not going to get large scale randomized controlled trials for marijuana use any time soon. We can definitely debate the methods.. but the findings from this growing body of e…

That is not what the study showed. They controlled for health and exercise. In fact, the study they cited which also showed an increase in stroke risk actually showed cannabis user…

Well it’s a +63% relative increase. Not so tiny.

It’s strange that all of the comments are looking for ways to dismiss this result (and this seems to happen generally with negative cannabis findings online). Is it not entirely po…

Yeah, I think some light editorializing would help here even if the list content stayed the same.

One of my favorite Wikipedia pages: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_lists_of_lists

I find the awesome lists not to be that useful. Mainly because they seem to include way too many things. Rather than 10 library/book/etc. recommendations on every topic, I'd love j…

I don’t think it’s a green screen, it appears to be a painted wall — you can see the seams and perspective to it.

You would think – but viruses don't necessarily become less deadly. The virus wants to maximize transmissibility, and that might require trading off further against the host's heal…

There was a pretty high severe systemic adverse rate in the high dose group (20%). Severe local response rate was 5% in the middle dose. [1] I have no idea how this compares to oth…

Yes, but at some threshold wouldn’t this indicate a problem? 103F+ fevers are relatively rare from typical vaccines, and from my understanding a lot of the damage from COVID is imm…

Thanks for the valid correction. I didn’t mean to be disingenuous. I forgot they rejected that dosage. Overall, the picture does look potentially concerning for the side effects of…

The Moderna mRNA vaccine was producing 103 degree fevers (and passing out) in a Phase 1 volunteer. [1] If that's the reaction in small sample with a healthy 29 year old (most volun…

Apparently this isn’t a huge recent change —- it was at 47% of young adults at the same time last year (now it’s 52%). Source: https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2020/09/04/a-ma…
