hiv_transmission: HIV transmission network (1988-2001)
A set of networks of HIV transmissions between people through sexual, needle-sharing, or social connections, based on combining 8 datasets collected from 1988 to 2001. Metadata includes test results of several diseases, as well as demographic variables such as age, ethnicity, and gender. Networks come in two flavors: egodyads and altdyads. Egodyads are the network among study-participants and their direct partners. Altdyads are the…

PORTLAND, Ore. — Health officials in Hood River County confirmed Monday that two local deaths have been linked to a rare brain disease within the last eight months.
During that period, the county said, there have been one confirmed and two probable cases of
Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, or CJD, a prion disorder somewhat similar to the more commonly known "mad cow disease."
So far, two of those cases have resulted in death

Genndy Tartakovsky's developing a new show 'Heist Safari' that looks pretty great. Loved what he did with Dexter's Lab. This one's about three estranged frog brothers who meet up at their dad's funeral, have to rob a bank to inherit their late dad's fortune, and have issues when they cut side deals with mobsters. Every episode will be executed as just one shot, the events won't be in chronological order, and it'll have an EDM score. Looks & sounds prom…

So the basic idea is that we first compute a "level" for whatever interaction, by adding beneficial modifiers and subtracting harmful ones. Imagine most modifiers are smallish integers like 2 or -3 (though they can be non-integers too). Each level can be thought of as making things twice as good/bad, although this only applies directly when they're balanced. The actual formula starts with a 50/50 chance of "success" at level 0, and then each positive level halves the chance of failure, or if the levels are negative, each negative level halves the chance of success (note that halving the chance of failure is not the same as doubling the chance of success).
The intuitive explanation is that you start with a coin flip. Then if the level is positive, you flip that many additional coins and succeed if any single coin succeeds, but it the level is negative, you have to flip that many additional coins and succeed only if *all* flips succeed.
For example, if I have a dagger with 5 crit chance, and I attack an opponent with no armor modifiers, I'd have to win any 1 of 6 coin flips to score a crit (p = 1 - (1/(2^6)) = 63/64. Increasing my crit modifier by 1 ups my chances only slightly, to 127/128. This is obviously pretty poor return, indicating that the 5 I already have is very strong. If the opponent had armor with -3 to crits, the interaction is now level 2, so the crit chance is 7/8, which is still pretty good. We can see from these examples that the basic system
rewards a small level advantage a lot, but the rewards diminish rapidly. The system has a few avenues for tweaking how it works though, that can let us modify this. There's also a potential benefit (though sometimes drawback) that no matter what the level gap, there's an effective limit to how much the interaction swings.

In 2024, Vandenberg Space Force Base had 51 launches,
but proposed changes would increase that number to 100 launches per year at both the Space Launch Complex (SLC)-6 and SLC-4,
including both Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy launches. 
The Falcon Heavy, which according to the EIS, has not launched out of Vandenberg Space Force Base in the past, would launch a maximum of five times per year from the SLC-6.
Because of the Falcon Heavy’s two side boosters landing separately, …
