“An unsophisticated forecaster uses statistics as a drunken man uses lamp posts — For support rather than for illumination”, Andrew Lang ( Nobel Prize in Literature, 1912)Recently, along with researchers from BNP Paribas and CDC Recherche, we published a report that identified the variables of analysis when building a token valuation model. The report is the first in a series of reports on this subject, but the objective remains the same — to build a token valuation model, one must first determine the variables of analysis.In computer science, Garbage In, Garbage Out (GIGO), is an expression used to convey the concept that incorrect or poor-quality input data will produce a faulty output or “garbage” output. The token valuation space currently suffers from this issue. Since the launch of Token (...)

US life expectancy drops in 2017 due to drug #overdoses, #suicides - CNN

Dr. Robert Redfield, CDC director, called the trend tragic and troubling. “Life expectancy gives us a snapshot of the Nation’s overall health and these sobering statistics are a wakeup call that we are losing too many Americans, too early and too often, to conditions that are preventable,” he wrote in a statement.

American Life Expectancy Continues to Fall: Rise in Suicides, Overdose Deaths the Big Culprit | naked capitalism

While this assessment is technically correct, it is too superficial in seeing the rising rate of what Angus Deaton and Ann Case called “deaths of despair” as a health problem, rather than symptoms of much deeper societal ills. Americans take antidepressants at a higher rate than any country in the world. The average job tenure is a mere 4.4 years. In my youth, if you changed jobs in less than seven or eight years, you were seen as an opportunist or probably poor performer. The near impossibility of getting a new job if you are over 40 and the fact that outside hot fields, young people can also find it hard to get work commensurate with their education and experience, means that those who do have jobs can be and are exploited by their employers. Amazon is the most visible symbol of that, working warehouse workers at a deadly pace, and regularly reducing even white collar males regularly to tears.

Une « superbactérie du sexe bien pire que le Sida » ? Démenti des autorités sanitaires américaines - Actualités - Vidal.fr

Le démenti : les cas de gonorrhée à Hawaï ont été soignés... par des antibiotiques usuels
« L’affirmation selon laquelle la bactérie H041 a été trouvée hors du Japon est incorrecte », a fait savoir dès le 2 mai The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC, agence fédérale américaine de santé publique].

Cette agence a précisé que des souches de gonorrhée résistantes à un antibiotique, habituellement non recommandé en première intention, avaient bien été identifiées à Hawaï, mais que d’autres antibiotiques avaient finalement guéri ces infections. Il ne s’agissait donc pas de la superbactérie trouvée au Japon en 2011.

Le CDC souligne aussi que « jusqu’à présent, il n’y a pas eu d’échecs thérapeutiques chez des patients présentant des gonorrhées traitées avec les antibiotiques actuellement recommandés en première intention ».

Cette correction a été intégrée sur la plupart des sites d’actualité américains… Mais l’information erronée sans correctif persiste sur de nombreux autres sites, y compris français.
