A guide to air purifier metrics:
- What is CADR?
- How is it measured?
- What is a typical CADR value?
- How does it relate to pollution levels a) over time and b) at steady state?

@doctorveera Looks like chromosome 1 for sleep apnoea has some systematic inflation of p-values, do they comment on the potential for some technical artefact? (Unfortunately I don't have access to the full article). Not seeing a similar pattern on the AZ phewas portal.

History is largely told as a series of political revolutions and wars.

But what shape people's lives most are new inventions like the contraceptive pill or ideas like those in Newton's Principia Mathematica. That's what history should be about.

The right to exit is the most important right.

Times are volatile. Laws can change overnight. You might one day find yourself outnumbered by a suddenly hostile population.

Exit is the right to travel, to leave, to opt-out. It’s what you need when the system fails.
