But don't worry nothing will happen for 10 or more years
People have been talking about self cleaning paint made from TiO2 suspended in perfluorooctyltriethoxysilane for almost 10 years. Should we worry?

shift national priorities towards creating robust, fault-tolerant, systems that render offensive tools ineffective
Sounds like the first bullet point for a series of hugely profitable, multi-generational government contracts, doncha think?
In my experience, it won't.
I reported to a small non-profit that their list of email addresses had leaked. I knew this because I used a unique address when registering with the site and I later started getting SPAM at that address.
Most likely, the non-profit sold your email address (along with the rest of their list), leading to embarrassment all around when you contacted them about the spam.
It is generally well established that correspondence between two individuals is private and that for one of the parties to share that correspondence it is considered appropriate to ask the other for permission prior to sharing.
Isn't that consideration based on the assumption that the individuals have a long term private relationship, something that would lead to an expectation of privacy? Letters to a casual acquaintance wouldn't fall under that rule, would they? How about selfies sent by someone being flirtatious with someone they don't know very well yet?
Yes really. Anecdotal evidence is still evidence.
tend to prefer empiricism and general pattern-recognition to theory-directed research because in the area of health it is so fraught with false positives, statistical failures, presuppositions and downright fraud due to industry influence.
So your answer to the problems of false positives and statistical failures are studies where n = 1.
Ok.
The wrong conclusion was drawn from this observational study. Saunas are very stressful. People who are weak can not tolerate many saunas and therefore avoid them. Healthy people don't have a problem with them and take more of them.
Meanwhile, in the actual article:
After adjustment for CVD risk factors
Completely missed the point of my post:
How do you establish the control group: people who could keep running but choose not to? Otherwise you are conflating the benefits of not being at risk for arthritis, tendinosis, vertabrae/disk issuses, torn meniscus, etc. with the benefits of exercise.
It's just as true for weight training.
Plus: anecdotes?
Really?
Can someone with a legal background connect the dots for me?
I'm sure the oily fish they eat helps a lot too.
Here we go again - confusing correlation with a causal relationship.
And we're not talking about those painful last 5 years where you can't do anything, but 5 years of vitality to your productive mid-life.
Cite? I'm genuinely curious. The trick is finding research that is based on intervention, not just observation. For example: studies of runners. People who are still running at age 55+ have been intensively selected by their joints over the years, many people will have experienced knee/hip/ankle/back problems well before that age and quit. How do you establish the control group: people who could keep running but choose not to? Otherwise you are conflating the benefits of not being at risk for arthritis, tendinosis, vertabrae/disk issuses, torn meniscus, etc. with the benefits of exercise.
