Never underestimate how insanely shoddy everything is everywhere. At my workplace, posters displayed at scientific conventions are typically derived from a power point template one professor cooked up. Its size is almost, but not quite, entirely unlike A0. The graphs are typically hand made or screenshots (in jpg) of Excel graphs blown up to ~10dpi. I've worked in DTP consulting. It's physically painful to look at those documents. All of them are fractally wrong. Antigravitas has a new favorite as of 10:47 on Jul 1, 2020 |

In the early space missions, they hadn't figured out how to get a zero-gravity toilet to work properly. So they had the astronauts poop in bags that they would seal. Gas build up from bacteria threatened to burst the bags. So they were treated with an anti bacterial agent. After pooping, the astronaut then had to knead the bag for about five minutes to ensure all the bacteria were killed. Captain Jim Lovell decided he didn't like doing that. So he delegated it.

Little known fact is there’s a small pile of those poopy bags deposited carefully next to the American flag on the moon. The flag is there so future astronauts won’t step on the poop.

Carbon dioxide posted:Well that failed, Buzz Aldrin admitted a couple years ago that the flag actually toppled over from the blast of the moon lander taking off. For the rest of the missions, this was taken into account and the flags were placed farther from the lander. There are still five flags standing, or at least the poles are still upright. The flags have likely photodegraded.

I don't know what they are doing to calculate R, but it's weird that they have uncertainty of past R values. I'd assume that they'd know R perfectly for past values based on actual infection numbers, unless they think they don't know the true number of infections. Which would be extremely worrying to me. That said, R of 1.2 is bad.

Last I checked there was a noticeable minority of people for whom a Covid 19 infection is indistinguishable from the common cold. If those people aren't tested, the past R becomes uncertain.If tests cost money or are otherwise rationed they aren't tested.

Yup, that's the "extremely worrying" part. To eliminate that uncertainty you run sentinel testing across a representative sample. That's what Germany has been doing for ages to monitor the flu. I just had a look and they just basically try to create a curve for R that fits the number of reported infections since apparently (WTF) the states don't supply that number? So the curve of R is purely a function of the curve of cases. Anyway, R of 1.2 means ~ every 5-7 days cases grow by 20%, so in two weeks AZ should have ~120k cases instead of 80k now. And if things stay the same, ~170k in a month… So don't be mislead by "low" R. Let Mutti explain it to you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22SQVZ4CeXA

Well I don't necessaritly think that map is _bad_ per se, as in, they might have their very own definitions of what is a socialist state, but at least the starred countries seem communist enough? Edit: Sorry for discussing a map in the charts thread)

I mean, if you actually read the legend... It's a stupid map because it clearly intends to exaggerate the spread of communism/marxist-leninism by conflating historical "wins" with "current wins". But it's not wrong, because they do label it clearly enough. You're just doing them a service by not being able to read it. Hippie Hedgehog has a new favorite as of 13:41 on Jul 3, 2020 |

I love that somebody actually did the math and the r squared is (drumroll...) 0.016! And he keeps harping on an article about "the tyranny of statistical significance testing ", a NYT article about bars being a problem, and the capper is "a vertical line shows a huge correlation". I mean, holy poo poo, this is on the level of kids looking at two results and declaring their hypothesis "proved".
