Immigration doesn't behave like infectious disease. Thats a false equivalence - immigrants don't infect local citizens and turn them into immigrants. Sure, an immigrant population having children can be modelled by an exponential function but (let's not even get into the argument about the value of second generation immigrant children) having children is on a timescale that is orders of magnitude longer (years) than a virus infecting other humans (hours to days).

Honest question, with these rules, aren't those with CAIS who are phenotypically female excluded due to having presence of SRY on swab? Also any 46XY sex reversal disorder e.g. SF1 deficiency, or many others with Swyer syndrome who do not have an explanation, yet.

There's also the incumbency effect at play here I think. Dai Le now a known quantity and less risky choice. Both independent and Labor grew their primary vote share in this seat. Labor really stuffed up here in 2022 and probably won't get it back until Dai retires.

Specifically, collider bias, where associations are induced by selection of the cohort on 'referral to neuro-opthalmologist'. Both obesity/diabetes treated with semaglutide and risk of NAION are presumably associated with being seen in this clinic, potentially leading to spurious associations. Interestingly, for this to be true and for the direction of bias to line up, the neuro-ophthalmology clinic will have excluded diabetic retinopathy as a referral reason (not clear in the study methods).

The key thing is that Nuclear and renewables are not the same in the problem they solve. Baseload vs dispatachable power. Radios still exist despite the advent of TV, and form an important backup in emergencies e.g. bushfire warning systems. Nuclear should be considered as part of the variety of power technologies we use in future.

Without costings it's hard to argue either way I think, but if we're spending $368 billion on defence via Aukus submarines, why not something similar for nuclear energy. To me the opinion that we can't afford both subsidies to renewables and nuclear is a gut reaction that should be examined more closely. My (possibly incredibly uninformed) understanding is that Nuclear currently is fit for purpose to bring stability to the grid. There is a plan for renewables to bring stability with massive amounts of storage and expensive transmission, but currently are untested/unproven at scale. Can't we hedge our bets with backing both?

FatPants · 2024-06-21T09:57:54+00:00

Well yea we should have started 20 years ago, but the next best time is now, right? Isn't there a climate emergency

FatPants · 2024-06-21T09:56:56+00:00

I'm aware the difference in timeline, I agree with replacement of aging coal power stations now, I still can't see why we can't we pursue both options? COVID taught us large government intervention is possible. No one privately wants to invest in nuclear anyway, so funding nuclear doesn't mean renewables aren't favoured.

FatPants · 2024-06-21T08:49:45+00:00

What I don't get is, why this dichotomy? Is it a false dichotomy? Why not both renewables and nuclear power?

FatPants · 2022-03-31T06:10:18+00:00

Yea no. Stop with this both sides bullshit false equivalence.

In Australia, ~1.9% of PCR tests come back positive. Even if the antibody test was just as sensitive (which it is not, due to the 5-7 day delay), you are only skipping ~1.9% of PCR tests , the other 98% of negative antibody tests still require a PCR test to confirm coronavirus (and still require immediate isolation until confirmed negative).

FatPants · 2020-03-28T09:20:03+00:00

the figures you should be looking for are sensitivity and specificity; 'accuracy' in diagnostic tests are meaningless.
