The Dutch data has the same problem as the ONS data that I describe in my other comment:

> For the first mRNA vaccination, almost all [hazard ratios], for the different weeks after vaccination and different subgroups, are significantly lower than 1, which indicates a reduced risk of non-COVID-19 death shortly after vaccination.

Obviously vaccination is not supposed to reduce your risk from things unrelated to COVID-19 yet in their data it does. This isn't because it's some magical cure-all. It's because their data is biased. The correct hazard ratio is found only in the 12-49 age group.

As they say in their discussion, this is because "in the event of a very short remaining life expectancy, (a subsequent dose of) COVID-19 vaccination may be decided against ... Vaccination is also postponed in the event of a fever ... This is also called the 'healthy vaccine effect' and it is difficult to correct for this in observational research ... the results should be interpreted with caution"

They also have the problem that "people who have been vaccinated, but have not given permission for registration in CIMS, have been incorrectly classified as unvaccinated (5 to 7 percent of the people)" which means that "This will have influenced the analysis of the risk of death after the first vaccination, because in this analysis the unvaccinated person time served as a reference"

So this dataset is not usable for detecting vaccine side effects or induced deaths. It is a hopelessly corrupted dataset in which large numbers of people are misclassified and it's not a randomized study.

But this is public health research, so after saying results should be interpreted with caution they go ahead and make the totally incautious claim that "Based on these results there are no indications at a population level that COVID-19 vaccination increases the risk of death due to an adverse event." which is a false statement. Their data doesn't allow them to draw such conclusions.

The reason this topic is neuralgic is because if you want to be scientifically correct then you can't actually know whether vaccines reduced deaths or not, but people really want to believe they did. The trials that were supposed to unambiguously measure this failed, in the sense that they showed no effect on deaths and yielded incorrect conclusions about reductions in infection rates (the number started at 95% effective and then was regularly revised, this is not supposed to happen and was due to their time windowing problems). Then attempts to measure it using mass datasets collected outside of RT context all yield incorrect conclusions due to dataset bias, but are presented as definitive anyway for political reasons.

Science is truly in a bad shape :(
>How many staff they have and who they target with those resources are two separate issues.

They may be two separate issues, but they are two interconnected issues, as with limited legal resources its more profitable to audit average people than to audit the wealthy who can evidently hold you up in court for decades, whereas with more legal resources there's more of an incentive to go after the high-hanging fruit since you'll already have the low-hanging fruit covered and have exhausted their resources already.

* Zinc deficiency (why obsess over this one?)

Zinc is not used to treat symptoms, the mechanism (observed in a test tube) is that intercellular zinc inhibits RNA virus replication.

Zinc supplementation above the RDI is NOT recommended for treatment of covid. Long term excess zinc can cause potentially irreversible neurologic manifestations (i.e., myelopathy, paresthesia, ataxia, spasticity).

> I haven't charged at home for nearly 2 years. It was not an issue.

How frequently do you drive and how long are your trips? Where and on what network do you charge? What do you pay for charging?

> Nonetheless, you can charge your EV on a normal powerplug. Should be very easy for home owners to charge at home.

What if you aren't a home owner? What if you are a home owner and the car parking is too far away from your house?

> No clue about the charging network in US, in EU its good enough.

Where in the EU are you talking about? These all look like blanket statements to me as they don't consider the real context of a person trying to decide if an EV is practical for them.

> Tesla is cheaper and more expensive in germany

What does that mean?

> EVs show that batterie life is no real issue. Not a bigger concern than your engine block breaking.

An engine block breaking is a real issue. That's why mileage is reported and it's quite common to do inspections before buying a used car. Battery health is not reported and there is no straightforward way to do an inspection.

> EV is a lot more fun to drive and its easy to save a lot if you have solar panels.

What if you don't have solar panels and are on a budget? Does it help that it's fun to drive if you can't afford it or it makes your life impractical?

> 30% (what a random number)

I said "at about 30%". It's a gut guess, so not completely random.

I think in general this conversation is a good example of how some people assume that their privileged life situation is just normal and everybody owns a home with solar panels and a garage with a charger. But that's not true. Maybe 30% of people can afford that, hence my gut guess on the "random" number.

I can totally believe that he does not really know what every single hint and stuff in his movies means, that he has a broader general idea and just loves to confuse people in a way. When I was young his movies just blew me away, sadly I think they would not do it in this way today anymore.

I am a big fan, but I think it's silly to hunt after every single detail and thing and try to find out "the truth" about what he really meant by it. Just enjoy the movies, have your own thoughts about it, and accept the fact that you will never know. It's a ride, just enjoy it.
Who says there’s even anything stable to measure?

If “intelligence” is just the degree/quality of someone’s brain function then your intelligence does drop when your brain function is impaired, and you would expect that to be picked up in an intelligence test.

Culturally we may want to imagine intelligence as something constant and innate to somebody’s soul, but in reality it’s innate to a fragile and fickle organ inside your skull.

Isn't that exactly what they did?
Hoping that people consume a variety of news sources sounds naively optimistic to me. And when a single news station 100% caters to their audience's biases, you end up in situations like Fox News knowingly lying to their audience over the idea that the election was stolen. (If they told the truth as they saw it, they would have lost viewers. So they chose to back Trump's lie.)

I think its much healthier when news sources actively struggle against the pressure to be an echo chamber. And be self aware enough to know their own biases & make them clear to their readers. I also like hearing the reasonable arguments against their position: "We endorse candidate A, but here are some reasonable criticisms of A that their opponents bring up."

The Economist does this. Other commenters in this thread mention the New York Times does this. Generally, I want to follow journalists who know more about the topic than I do, and can help me see a bigger picture.
Tesla has always been a luxury brand, which means that depending on the situation people can easily be priced out of those cars.

> Typically, cutting edge features are deployed by browser makers in their own engines first, then, using real world feedback over several years, eventual standards are created. No feature starts out as a web standard. – Walled Gardens Report, Open Web Advocacy [1]

Apple dragging it's feet will impact this, but Apple outright banning competing browser engines kills all progress. Having competing browsers on the platform will allow the market to decide what features are useful and what are not, and the standards can follow suit. I agree there are privacy concerns with some of the proposals (especially some of the ones by Google), but not having the choice of browsers is much worse for the open web.

At the moment, we just have to trust Apple has our best intentions by supporting/not supporting certain features and standards. However, we know from the work the Open Web Advocacy has done that this isn't true. The primary driver for both stifling progress on Safari and keeping browser competition out is the profits from the App Store [2].

I'm am pretty certain that EVs won't end up being much cheaper than ICE cars. Finland cars in general have high tax burden. And you have to fund the roads from somewhere. If you can't separate electricity at home it means adding taxes on EVs in some other way...
I'm pretty scared to look into many mental health issues. I know a buddy who had a super mild case of tourette syndrome but after he researched things started getting worse.

On a similar note, I had some mild PTSD symptoms until I looked into it, then I started having additional symptoms(or at least I was noticing them now). On the flip side having ChatGPT4 combine my PTSD with phenomenology, positive psychology, and CBT, I think I'm close to cured. My favorite part was being able to disagree with chatGPT. When I disagree with humans, I feel like I was getting stuck in a loop.

The studies cited do not prove any causative association. They lack controls and other design elements that would account for misattribution and the impact of COVID-related psychosocial factors on observed symptoms.

In general, there is an extreme lack of rigor seen in claims about long COVID. The best evidence available suggests most cases of "long COVID" are misattribution:

It would also only be logical to tax the income you could earn at work, not the income you actually earn. This way you are incentivized to actually give it your best in salary negotiations. E.g. the State Income Commission determines what a SWE ought to make (indexed to inflation) and all SWEs get taxed based on that. Simple, fair, equal and even equitable. And a lot less bureaucracy to boot!

Its not the same, and I never claimed it is. However, in both cases, parents seem to think its not a big deal, and its "commonly done" in a whole country, whatever that is worth. Which is my point. Just because something is a common practice in some country, doesn't make it healthy or good.
Oh, right. That would be very expensive (head-of-state cars are often essentially one-offs, are replaced rarely, and have unusual operational requirements), and would seem rather performative? Ministerial cars etc would be more practical, but you're probably talking about, what, maximum 50 vehicles per country?

There was a minor scandal in Ireland last year because, of the 30 of so cars used for ministerial protection (this was only reintroduced as a thing the previous year; before that ministers had to get around on their own), only one was electric, and 9 of them weren't even PHEVs. This feels like relatively a fuss about nothing; the state (or semi-states) also operates over 2,000 buses, of which currently only about 100 are fully electric, say (another 300 on order). That feels like a better place to focus than a fleet of 30 cars, many of which don't see a lot of use.
The funny thing about this conversation here though is I was talking about means and averages and you gave me an example of a single guy, also I said outliers in their fields might have higher than average general ability - I don't know why anyone would assume that higher than average general ability would equal expertise in unstudied specialties?

Same experience here. I'm a beginner swimmer and got caught in a rip tide in Bali.

The thing was, it was terrifying yet so calm at the same time. Everybody on the beach continued to bathe, unaware, and a few metres away I was frantically but silently fighting for my life.

The helplessness is especially haunting. You exert this primal will to life, and the force of nature just brushes it aside.

Anyway, I made it out, spent that evening binging Youtube videos about rip tides, and have developed a healthy aversion to ocean water.
Completely agree. Moved from Cupertino about 8 years ago to central London. The pace, work ethic, ambition/drive is in a completely different league despite London being the best option in this part of the world.
