if every field test of vaccine x shows it is 20% effective, the results are reliable. this has nothing to do with how effective the vaccine is. reliability is not a word i would use in describing any vaccine. if every field test of vaccine y shows it is 95% effective, the results are reliable. i also think that the more effective vaccine y would be described as better. if field tests of vaccine z show results of 60-90% effective, the results are unreliable, but vaccine z could be said to be better than vaccine x, assuming all other factors including side effects remain similar.
reliable has a totally different meaning in research. and totally dirrerent to effective. if a watch is always 10 minutes slow it is reliable as you can rely on it to be 10 slow. not accurate but reliable. my grandad had a reliable bladder, he always pee at 6am, problem was he didn't get up until 8. reliable is not always good.
the days of wasteful business lunches are over. by decree. the tonyaod post is 9 years ago, most of the thread is over 8 years old. having resurected an old thread, i wonder if we can expect a serving of spam?
Yep, their agenda seems to be censorship, in order to force thier own set of values (PC) on others. I think I heard this refered to as being a 'rigid liberal'. PC has become the new puritanism, and goes against the spirit of liberalism that gave birth to it. One of the great freedoms of living in China is freedom from PC. Long may it continue.
Glad to see some people are trying to claim some moral high ground. The funny thing about morality judgements are that are subjective and shift with time, as such should be avoided. But then this is open forum and anything goes.
The gubmint will want to consider economic development. They need to remember that Anning is part of Kunming, and any further pollution issues (they already have Dianchi mess) will hurt Kunming's tourism.
Tourism needs to be planned for, and tourism is one of the few industries where the money comes in at the bottom level and filters up.
Swedish design ideas, kunming build quality. i have bought lots of ikea stuff in the past, the furniture at #11 are poor facsimiles of genuine item. Yes stuff is affordable, but poorly made and overpriced in my opinion. we took a good look around and looked closely at build quality and walked away.
It might be worth identifying which Prague venue you are reviewing.
When I first arrived in Kunming I did a tour of Wenlin Jie. I did't like the look of Prague.
More recently I have used Prague in Beichen a lot and I like it.
Ref the comment @nonsecond about being made sick from raw apple, WTF?
