> It will convert its production waste and residues into an Ultra-Low Carbon Fuel (ULCF) gas that produces minimal carbon dioxide and other harmful emissions.

> The biogas emitted by whisky’s production process cuts CO2 emissions by over 95 per cent compared to diesel and other fossil fuels and reduces other harmful particulates and greenhouse gas emissions by up to 99 per cent, Glenfiddich said.

Biogas is a mixture of methane and CO2. When burnt, it produces less CO2 per unit energy than petrol, because it's got more hydrogen, but it absolutely still produces lots of CO2. It is definitely not cutting greenhouse gas emissions by 95% or 99%! The important difference is that the carbon is not from fossil sources. This is vital! But CO2 is still being emitted!

Essentially, "carbon" has become a metonym for "fossil-derived carbon". This is going to lead to lots of confusion by anyone who doesn't have a firm grip on that fact.
No. Stop it. It's not simple enough. Stop this crazy obsession.

Adverse reaction are real. Here's a woman who has had her legs amputated[1] a few days after receiving the second dose of the Pfizer vaccine. Stated cause: she contracted COVID. More cases like it, blood clots, heart inflammation, sudden death. You all know this is happening, don't you?

Close your eyes and sweep it under the rug. Keep ignoring the uncomfortable and unfortunate. Keep dismissing it as minimal harm.

You'd make the Nazis proud. When the Germans committed crimes against humanity the general population simply didn't know about it. They didn't notice millions of people were taken forcefully out of their homes. Rounded up and brought somewhere. Simply no idea what was happening. No of course they knew, they just suppressed it. To protect themselves and their fragile, fear-filled, state of mind.

It sounds drastic, but this is the path you're on. Too committed to this narrative. Unable to evaluate the situation for what it is. The vaccine is not necessary and neither entirely safe. You have been listening to the fear porn for too long. The numbers don't add up, left and right. The reality is much more mundane.

The number of COVID death in China to this day is 4,636 [2]. People outside of risk groups have nothing to worry, will experience no to mild symptoms, before acquiring natural lasting immunity. Death rates around the world are barely moving, in many countries dead on average. The studies are worthless, when the larger, population-wide scale tells a different tale. People just aren't dying en masse - there's nothing to support this madness, or inject everybody with spike protein on annual basis, you truly are too daft to realize that? Do you think someone that does not have symptoms of illness, can be considered ill?

Spin it however you want, ignore the inconsistencies, inject yourself with whatever calms your mind, but DO NOT force it onto others and for your own sake DO NOT continue to take booster shots.

But PhotoDNA has been scanning cloud photos (Google, Dropbox, Microsoft, etc.,) to detect CSAM content for a decade now and this "pretty soon it's terrorism" slippery slope hasn't yet manifested, has it?

If the slope was going to be slippery, wouldn't we have seen some evidence of that by now?

You don't understand...there are thousands of books on this period (for some reason, only one of the books you mention are about this period...Mackay was written several decades before the 20s, Chancellor is a general history, Lefevre is interesting but not really going to give you the information you need as it is a personal story).

The book that I cite is identical to the OP. The author goes through newspapers from the period leading up to 1929 (and iirc, through to the late 30s).

> How many times do I have to repeat that the Sinovac and Sinopharm phase-III

You keep interchanging the Russian and Chinese trials, perhaps on purpose. The only study you quoted was a Russian government funded study, with incomplete data and heavily criticized conditions.

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-vaccin...

> Are you accusing the various institutes

You aren't following. Without raw patient data, you can only study:

1. The data given to you by a government
2. The affects of the vaccine in real life trails, which has so many variables that it cannot alone tell you anything concrete about vaccine effectiveness.

The ONLY set of data that matter is the initial patient data the developers of a vaccine measured. Western vaccines released this data openly, Russian and China refused. And it's obvious why.

> A vaccine that reduces chance of hospitalization or death

50-60% is better than nothing, which is a separate argument that I agree with. Getting Chinese and Russian vaccine to the third world now is better than western vaccines a year from now. But that's not what is being discussed here.

> We do. It's right there in the Chilean study

Again, measuring a vaccine's effectiveness by giving it out and measuring outcome has so many variables it's almost useless. The only standard that would apply is a study controlling for variables, done by its manufacturers. Which, for the millionth time, authoritarian countries won't share.

https://www.statnews.com/2021/05/26/data-needed-know-if-sput...

> That's not the world we live in, unfortunately.

"Of course western vaccines have higher efficacy". There's moving the goalposts, then there's whatever you just did there. Weird for you to argue for 3-4 posts that Chinese vaccines are just as effective then just flat out say they aren't.

> The US is battling a horrifying surge in cases and deaths. I don't expect to see a NY Times article titled, "They Relied on American Vaccines. Now They're Battling Outbreaks."

This is officially a bad faith interaction. You don't seem like an idiot. You surely must know that the surge in the US is due to UNVACCINATED individuals, which has absolutely fuck all to do with the discussion we are having about vaccines. Yet you bring it up with the smugness of having uncovered some Trump card.

We're done here.

> You still haven't answered my question

So why do you spend you days defending authoritarian governments on western news sites? I think I guessed correctly the first time, but i'm curious if you'll come clean.

Link is to the transcript of a podcast, intro: Clock synchronization, keeping all of the clocks on your network set to the “correct” time, sounds straightforward: our smartphones sure don’t seem to have trouble with it. Next, keep them all accurate to within 100 microseconds, and prove that you did -- now things start to get tricky. In this episode, Ron talks with Chris Perl, a systems engineer at Jane Street about the fundamental difficulty of solving this problem at scale and how we solved it.
No doubt about it. There are A LOT of things that aren't credited correctly in the modern world, but these articles that I referenced aren't helping the situation at all. On the contrary, they're worsening the state all these topics are in with their exaggerated claims which make people question the integrity of the real work itself.

There should be thorough studies about Indology (at least in far greater number than there are right now) without all these click-baity articles associated with it.

The Science cite shows something that's very different than what people might take from your comment. Briefly, prior infection plus one mRNA dose induces a very good immune response, much better than a single dose without prior infection. It does not compare two mRNA doses against prior infection.

I believe the cite I provided does support the idea that coronaviruses vary, in particular that HCoV-229E exhibits continuous genetic drift. But here's an excellent paper that goes into a lot more detail on that: https://journals.plos.org/plospathogens/article?id=10.1371/j...

The £9k a year figure is mostly smoke and mirrors though. All British citizens are eligible for a tuition "loan" that covers it. That "loan" (and the maintenance loan too) is the equivalent of a graduate tax, as it's a percentage (9% for the current lot of students) charged on income made past a certain amount (above £25,000 for this lot). The loan is wiped 30 years after graduation (this what will happen for the majority of students).

How do you measure "actual work done per day?"
Most writers did not take science classes in college; they got a liberal arts degree and not a physics degree. On the other hand there are a few writers who do a better job of things.

Vernor Vinge does a great job in A Deepness In The Sky of creating a human space–fairing society that has to deal with some degree of relativity. Their ships only manage a 0.3× the speed of light, but they also use suspended animation to hibernate for most of their voyages. A trip where you age a year might mean that hundreds of years pass on the planet you’re going to. One character founded a vast trading coalition that was enormously successful in spite of this and other handicaps.

Greg Egan wrote a book called The Clockwork Rocket that is set in a universe where the space–time metric is different. This has huge effects on all aspects of physics from relativity to quantum mechanics, and he worked out all of those implications before writing the story. You can learn a lot about our universe just by contemplating all of the ways that this fictional Riemannian universe is different from our own Lorentzian universe. For example, in the Riemannian universe there is no fixed upper bound on speeds, light travels at different speeds based on its color, and thermodynamics is backwards so plants gain energy not by absorbing light but by emitting it.
This line of thinking assumes you can reliably separate people that have had covid from those that haven’t. In the real world requiring vaccines for everyone means vaccination of people that thought they had covid but didn’t.

Which I suspect may be the underlying reason studies are showing the vaccines are more effective than getting covid.
It's probably just detecting and deleting capslock
I think in general (i.e. not just w.r.t. whisky) it comes from the constituents being non-vintage, since not many vintage crops declared a {relevant mark for 'good year'} wind up blended, and then since correlation of course equals, er, backwards causation, we end up with this 'all blends are worse than any single X'. Which of course isn't true.

That's not how the real world works. We're not in a comic book or self help course where if you want something badly enough, you'll get it.

Plenty of people want to be successful rappers (insert any other competitive profession). Most of them don't make it.

Now if you genuinely believe the deciding factor is 'willingness to go to any ends', you're simply empirically wrong. That's not how the real world functions and if it did, complex modern society would not be possible.

I disagree too, I prefer a lot of small commits. What some people call "keeping a clean history" is actually destroying history and discarding a lot of important information.

I saw a lot of people merging branches a single commit "to keep the history clean" while in fact it just made the history less legible and less reversible.

I really doubt you can computer generate a Master's thesis. Completing a Master's thesis at an accredited institution is a heck of a lot of work and even a cursory reading of a thesis by an examiner, supervisor, opponent, or other interested party would give the generated content away. Maybe if you get your degree from a diploma mill you could get away with it, but then your degree wouldn't be worth toilet paper anyway.

I've heard similar stories about generated phd theses and it is even more implausible. The reason is that writing a thesis is much more than just producing a hundred pages or so of prose. Any university student can poop that out in a few weeks. The main job of a thesis is coming up with a research question, conducting an experiment or a study, and describe the results and how it fits in whatever niche of the scientific world you are working in.

About conceptualization, my understanding is that ancient Greek followers of religious leader Pythagoras realized that this was not only a relationship between length and area, but a formula for irrational numbers. This might be a claim without evidence, and would not be the first time Western education has tried that.

Babylonians had no problem arriving at solutions to square roots, and a lot of their texts are yet undeciphered. If we find that Babylonians ruminated about irrational numbers, too, then we’re talking about a major revision in the history of math. Until then, to me, the concepts in the Greek treatments are more innovative than the practical usage in Babylon.

I think your take is supported if it turns out people have read way too much into the religion around Pythagoras. I think Pythagoras would be surprised to be famous for a proof when he’d rather be famous for musical scale or some weird ritualistic dance or something. In fact, as mathematicians we might be better served by later proofs, which is implied by your other points, I think.

But where anti-trust cases against American companies is taken serious, both EU wide and by smaller local governments. And where many of us can vote for a myriad of parties, some with "taking large US monopolies down" as a primary point. (pirateparty, Volt, that I know of). Parties who make real chance of taking the lead or getting people in parliament.

I got a real jolt yesterday when I read about one of the top value investors (Morningstar’s International Stock Manager of the Year in the past) that jumped off a Manhattan skyscraper recently. His fund had gone from 20 billion to 1 billion AUM because everyone was leaving for bigger gains. It’s the opposite of the speculators jumping off we get in a crash and I think this means something.

We can cherry pick papers all day long to support or refute the idea that having had Covid19 is equivalent/better/worse than getting the vaccine. Anyone being honest can see that the jury is still out on the issue. But I can state 2 things with certainty. 1) having had it does offer some degree of immunization. 2) there is a lot of evidence that those spike proteins do damage. Given that, I dont know why some people lump previously infected folks in with anti-vaxxers. It's not even close to the same thinking.
