We mogen ons tegelijkertijd de vraag stellen waarom ze beiden in het buitenland actief zijn.
Nee, niet gebrek aan geld. Maar mogelijk wel: te weing autonomie voor universiteiten, te veel bemoeizucht (bv taalwetgeving), te weinig financiering die risico toelaat en beloont..
@FilipLardon@HansVDD Dat was helemaal niet bedoeld als onderschatting van zijn prestatie, integendeel. Feit blijft dat we een man van zo'n kaliber vaak 'verliezen' aan het buitenland, media reflecteert hier zelden over.
Yes, the stripper 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴 love you — she just has a lot on her plate right now, which may be why she hasn’t responded to your text messages.

@MachteldVerbru1@IveMarx Dus laten we dan het kind met het badwater weggooien? Ook subtop talent kan na een goede opleiding veel verschil maken in economie.
There must some complicated mental equilibristics involved in building a career on advocating the Palestinian right to armed resistance against Israeli occupation, and then saying that Ukrainians should be denied weapons to resist Russian occupation (because NATO bad.)
@LVTornh@bimbombram Goh ja, maar: wat zijn de verenigde Europese inlichtingendiensten uiteindelijk tegenover de oneindige wijsheid van het buikgevoel van enkele Vlaamse twitteraars?
Triestig hoe meeste mensen vogels verkiezen boven historische figuren op nieuwe eurobiljetten "want dan benadelen we niemand". Dit is de misgunnersmentaliteit die altijd voor grijze EU-symboliek heeft gezorgd.
If we're not choosing Maria Callas, Ludwig van Beethoven, Marie Curie, Miguel de Cervantes, Leonardo da Vinci, and Bertha von Suttner over some birds then we may as well shut it all down.
@andreastirez@Noahpinion Een onnozel non-debat. Uiteindelijk is de ideologische tegenstand tegen airco al bij al beperkt en kloppen veel van de sterftecijfers waarmee de Amerikanen schermen ook niet echt: https://t.co/B7ZmweNgjR
Mates, please.
Just stop with this BS: "175,000 people die from heat in Europe every year, while in the US only 3,000 do."
The comparison is bogus.
If we compare apples to apples, the numbers are much closer, and the US does not necessarily come out looking the best.
Let me explain.
I'm an AC-loving emu, but I'm also a perfectly objective emu, so let's go!
For starters, the 175,000 figure covers the WHO European Region, which includes countries such as Russia and the nations of Central Asia. It's basically a catch-all region with nearly a billion people, and some of those countries are hot, autocratic, and relatively underdeveloped.
But that's not the biggest problem.
The biggest problem is methodological.
The American "small" figure of roughly 3,000 comes from death certificates. Heat must be listed as a cause of death or a contributing factor. I don't know exactly how the coding works, but essentially someone qualified has to look at the deceased and conclude, "Yeah, heat defo played a role."
The European 175,000 figure is based on statistical modelling. Analysts estimate how many deaths are correlated with high temperature and then convert that relationship into an annual number of heat-related deaths.
This methodology does not require a coroner to explicitly identify heat as a contributing factor.
The European method naturally produces higher estimates.
The American method naturally produces lower estimates.
So if we want a genuine apples-to-apples comparison, we need to apply the same methodology to different countries.
And researchers have done exactly that.
A 2015 Lancet study estimated temperature-related mortality across multiple countries. While it included only four European countries: Italy, Spain, Sweden, and the UK, it allows for a more meaningful comparison.
Using a similar methodology and adjusting for population, the United States would come out somewhere in the middle. It would have roughly 10,000 heat-related deaths per year—lower than Italy and Spain, but HIGHER than Sweden and the UK.
So the AC-abundant Yanks seem to be sitting right in the middle of their AC-deprived "Europoor" counterparts.
Kind of an anticlimactic conclusion, but that's usually what happens when you're being perfectly objective.
Stay cool! Or warm, depending on which season your hemisphere is currently enjoying!
@superboekhouder@peterderyck Zelf ervaring met buitengewoon onderwijs in de familie. Ik kan alleen zeggen: er zijn alternatieven voor zwaar gesubsidieerd vervoer waar uiteindelijk niemand echt tevreden mee zijn. Een internaat hoeft geen hel te zijn.
This map shows annual truck traffic on European main roads, colored by route distance. The map gives a sense of on which corridors the long distance traffic travels and how far the infrastructure interdependencies within the network road reach. Very helpful information when planning charging infrastructure. Source: https://t.co/UxbVIPHAeq HT Jakob Rogstadius
