Table 1 and Figure 4: why are the Virginia controlled-access highways different? That population stands out in a way that smells like either a cultural difference or a policy difference.
I spend most of my time in California, have lived in SoCal and NorCal, and I spend a fair chunk of time driving around Virginia. My guess is that there's something fishy with the Virginia data being reported. Because if there is anyplace on earth with an insane number of controlled access roads, it's gotta be NVA/DC metro area (or the Tri-Border Area as I like to call it).
Also, they need to either update the caption for Figure 4, or move the plots to correspond with the caption. Clearly the Virginia data is on top (or the code is wrong, which seems exceedingly unlikely).
If you're using Windows, you're using a computer controlled by a corporation and your actions on that machine are not your own. Even if you walked into a store and bought it, your actions on that computer may not belong to your boss, but you're definitely working, directly, for Microsoft.
Any "feature" of Windows is there because one or more organizational leaders wanted it. Government, commercial, academic. Somewhere in between. But they pray every night for your more complete subjugation.
I think something people should take a hard look at is Firefox's crypto libraries. Firefox's implementation of cryptography in NSS is fundamentally in the browser. Chrome works with the OS. One could argue which implementation is better, but as a user, it's really helpful to have Firefox laying around from time to time. For all sorts of reasons.
Denmark is in a chronic baby shortage [1] and people in Western democracies are having less sex generally [2]. So, yay, less HPV. Go get vaccinated [3]. Unfortunately, there are some pretty significant (and sad, yes, sad) confounders.
Do you mean there is a causality between less sex and HPV vaccination, when you write “confounder”? I can’t find any study supporting this, hence double checking.
I think maybe they mean that the fact that people are having less sex is confounding the cause-effect relationship between vaccination and fewer cases of HPV. I don't know about people having less sex, though. That seems hard to believe.
