I’m really unsure what you’re trying to say. I was only answering one specific question: is it worthwhile to space out vaccines? I came up with an answer of “no, it’s not worthwhile to space out vaccines.” I didn’t address any other question.

Eh... I figure when the number comes out so ridiculously low, calculating error bars on things is a waste of time. The error bars on the original figures would have to be drastically huge to make a difference.

Right, I assumed the odds of allergy were independent of each other. If they aren’t, I could see it going several ways:

Yeah, I was going for the worst-case scenario. I think you’d have to work really hard and probably lie to a few doctors for them to unnecessarily give you that many shots in one day to cover your vaccination schedule.

I was writing a reply post to one on Carson and Trump, but it applies even more here. As part of the reply, I looked at the odds of having an allergic reaction to two shots at once.

Heh... my bad... I of course assumed it included the whole year.

*waves at the troll*

I have to point out that the last data point for the average temperature plot is 2015. As we head into winter, we should experience colder temperatures than the average, and this number should drop. It was high last year, and I’m not saying we don’t have a problem, but that last data point is misleading.

Thanks! Yeah, my environment isn’t creative, it’s science. We can get in trouble for porn (well, that should be obvious), but it’s usually best not to give them a reason. Interestingly enough, we can also get in trouble for watching sports. And if we use the network for Amazon. Of course, how much trouble depends on…

So do you think they were just using a form letter and forgot to fix that part? Or are they trying to use the word “image” in the sense that it was a copy of the data - an image of the data?

People in professional companies expect a certain level of professionalism, which does mean being inoffensive to a wide variety of people. While ideally art should be admired and respected by all, it is not. There isn’t any sense for a company to needlessly offend potential clients, or for me to needlessly offend my…

Has anybody noticed that at least this particular DMCA notice refers to an image, not the data? Is it possible that the site’s original incarnation had copied an image from Ashley Madison that they own the rights to? Of course, you can still argue that this is criticism or commentary, but that’s not what your article…

I do, the “for you” tab may be the only thing I listen to all day, every day. The playlists actually work; I don’t get jarred from what I’m doing by tracks that don’t juxtapose well. And the playlists they recommend are good. And the albums they recommend make sense. I actually figured out that I like Jack Johnson…

I’d say space blanket. It can save your life, in more ways than one. Good for cold, but also you’re missing a protected piece of plastic for sucking chest wounds. Admittedly, it’s one of those nightmare scenarios, you may get more mileage out of the tylenol recommendation. But this is one of those things that you…

Did you mean that we can now buy the Apple Watch from a store other than Apple? Because plenty of people I know already own Apple Watches...

iOS 9’s News app has permanently crashed after opening an article in Search, and nothing will revive it. And my keyboard apps still sometimes don’t appear, I’ve had that bug as long as I’ve had my 6 Plus. And once it refused to switch to LTE from Edge. But mostly it’s been a pretty happy camper, with slow graphics. I…

Ah Jet, the scourge of science. How I hate thee.

I was not thrilled to see that show up at work. Can we fix this??

Heh, you’re fun to talk to. Nobody in my entire life can sit through my QM tirades, lol.

And I suppose I should be clear- good philosophy deals in a priori truths. Things that will always be true. But quantum mechanics calls into question the fundamental concept of “a priori” when it comes to anything that exists. We can know, a priori, that 1+1=2. But when it’s one atom and another atom, you don’t…
