thread: The Rounding the Earth substack contains the claim "Even worse, we know that vaccine deaths seem to be automatically classified as COVID-19 deaths". roundingtheearth.substack.com/p/how-underrep…
The paper examined 250 death reports. It says:
"all 250 people in this interim collection were reported as COVID-19 deaths. This means that all [...] are erroneously counted in the officially reported national COVID-19 death tally."
But at least two cases mentioned in the paper (presumably part of the set they were looking at) include no mention of COVID-19 as a cause of death when checked via wonder.cdc.gov.
here's the one that comes up when you search for case 921768 (other case numbers not yet checked)
So it's unclear how the paper has determined that all 250 of these deaths were classified as COVID-19 deaths. Any clarification would be helpful.
"For example: 933739 [...] She was tested for COVID-19 at hospital after having been resuscitated and was negative, yet COVID-19 is written as her primary symptom at death not an hour or two later"
But this claim isn't reflected in the VEARS data as of today (2021-08-21).
as far as I can tell, the risk, by the way has entirely to do with the user needing to precisely measure out a correct weight-adjusted dose themselves.
this, needless to say, is not medical advice. and neither is what the FDA is flippantly shitting out above.

The site cryptoart.wtf by Memo Akten (@memotv) claims to report the ecological footprint of cryptoart NFTs. But the calculation it’s based on is not valid; we can’t legitimately derive an ecological footprint cost per unit of gas in the way it tries to.
thread
On this page memoakten.medium.com/analytics-the-… Memo explains how the energy cost of a piece of crypto art is calculated on the site. The calculation depends on adding up the gas costs of all transactions associated with the artwork being analysed.
He writes:
“Since the energy required and footprint of mining a block is independent of its contents and number of transactions, the Gas required by a transaction is representative of the portion of a block’s footprint it will incur

a video metadata standard designed to allow creators to mint (tradable) patronage NFTs corresponding to a predefined number of patron slots per video. the current NFT holder is credited in-frame (via player overlay elements) by supporting players.
+ smart contract (suite?) for minting & transferring this kind of NFT. contracts allow buyers to specify how they'd like to be credited (‼️moderation concerns) and transfers some % of trade price to the creator each time such an NFT changes hands (‼️what if the creator's dead?)
if i had a penny for each time i've been told "a free market could only work if people were perfectly rational" i'd have about three pounds. that's altogether too much.

it gets things back to front. one of the biggest virtues of a free market is its robustness and anti-fragility. all it needs are plain old *approximately rational* people to give constantly improving results.
a key reason: on a free market gains from choosing well and costs of choosing badly apply in large part to the chooser. he's well incentivised to consider carefully. this is v different to the incentives that choosers face under repdem voting contests.
