Ok, so why didn’t the authors do that? Laziness? Or maybe it would have undermined the headline?

This feels like grasping for a headline.

Edit: It compares the M4 Pro to the M3 in efficiency. Why not compare apples to apples?

> From my understanding, the most important point was to make it easier to recycle rare earth minerals in rechargeable batteries...

I guess because from a user point of view it doesn't make much sense: by the time the battery is dead, the phone is so outdated it serves no use anymore. And this comes as someone using old smartphones (still on their first battery).

>The scientific consensus is that countries that took a much more proactive, aggressive approach were far more successful in preventing people from dying

This isn't the consensus at all; the data shows that overwhelmingly lockdowns etc. had no positive effect on overall mortality or even a slightly net negative one. That's why New York had a higher fatality rate than Florida even though Florida had an older (and hence more vulnerable) population. They also had a devastating effect on childhood education/development outcomes.

But that's the question I'm asking; what specific investment did they make that went "sour"? I can't find one when I look, that's not what I'm reading happened at all but I'm open to the idea that I'm missing something.

tangent: I've been saying for some time: "What about a live vaccine?" Meaning an killed-virus version of COVID-19, not an adenovirus with additions. A killed vaccine would present all the proteins and give much better immunity.

But now the answer occurs to me: that's what Omicron and Krakus are doing, too. By now we've all been infected and reinfected, giving us all the value a killed-virus vaccine would have.

You get the RNA vaccine, then mild Omicron that doesn't kill, then mild Krakus that doesn't kill; and then you're as well protected as by getting the killed-virus vaccine, which just takes too long to create.

So maybe the real question posed by this study is, does a subsequent infection by Omicron reverse the toleration induced over time by the RNA?

That is a dubious claim. While links between HPV and cervical cancer are quite strong and well-defined, the associations with the other viruses you cite are only correlative. Also, Hep C, HIV and herpes have no vaccine, so unclear what your statement is referring to anyway? What has contributed to a drop in cancer mortality would be advances in treatment (like targeted therapies and immunoncology), better image/blood/genetic screening practices, and certainly the decreased popularity of smoking.

When I was very young, I suffered from chronic headaches. I used to just sit in class with my head on the desk feeling completely miserable. Doctors suggested this was likely due to sinus problems. My nose was completely stuffed up all the time. After going to a few specialists, nothing ever really came of it, but I did eventually just grow out of it.

However, I continued to get these really nasty migraines from time to time throughout most of my life. It would typically happen maybe once a month at most, but it was almost always on a Sunday. I would wake up and my head would not hurt, but I immediately knew it was coming because things just didn't feel quite right. As the day goes on, I would start to feel nauseous and my head would slowly get worse. By evening I could barely move, and basically just had to lay in a completely dark and silent room, hoping I would eventually fall asleep. Typically waking up the next day with still some after-effect of it. I found a few things that helped a little, such as going outside and getting fresh air, but nothing that would cure it.

As I've gotten older, that pretty much never happens anymore - maybe once every year at most. I can't think of anything that actually changed, it just stopped being a problem.

It's meant for hands that were just washed. I understand that not everyone does a great job washing, but I have a hard time believing this poses a real threat..
