THE MILGRAM EXPERIMENTS
"Milgram (1963) examined justifications for acts of genocide offered by those accused at the World War 2, Nuremberg War trials. Their defence often was based on "obedience", they were just following orders from their superiors."
65% (two-thirds) of participants (i.e., teachers) continued to the highest level of 450 volts. All the participants continued to 300 volts. Milgram did more than one experiment – he carried out 18 variations of his study -
"Ordinary people are likely to follow orders given by an authority figure, even to the extent of killing an innocent human being. Obedience to authority is ingrained in us all from the way we are brought up."
'The legal and philosophic aspects of obedience are of enormous import, but they say very little about how most people behave in concrete situations. "

In the early 1980s there were 108 male births to every 100 female, only slightly above natural rate; by 2000 that had soared to 120 males, some provinces, such as Anhui, Jiangxi/Shaanxi, to more than 130. The result is more than 35 million women "missing"

In some cases, almost 100% of the light energy can be converted to the second harmonic frequency. These cases typically involve intense pulsed laser beams passing through large crystals, and careful alignment to obtain phase matching.

Hard agree. And if this is useful, let me share something that often gets omitted (not by @kakape).
Variants always emerge, & are not good or bad, but expected. The challenge is figuring out which variants are bad, and that can't be done with sequence alone.
You can't just look at a sequence and say, "Aha! A mutation in spike. This must be more transmissible or can evade antibody neutralization." Sure, we can use computational models to try and predict the functional consequence of a given mutation, but models are often wrong.
The virus acquires mutations randomly every time it replicates. Many mutations don't change the virus at all. Others may change it in a way that have no consequences for human transmission or disease. But you can't tell just looking at sequence alone.
In order to determine the functional impact of a mutation, you need to actually do experiments. You can look at some effects in cell culture, but to address questions relating to transmission or disease, you have to use animal models.
The reason people were concerned initially about B.1.1.7 is because of epidemiological evidence showing that it rapidly became dominant in one area. More rapidly that could be explained unless it had some kind of advantage that allowed it to outcompete other circulating variants.

Feels like the next thing we're going to need is a ranking system for how concerning "variants of concern\u201d actually are.

A lot of constellations of mutations are concerning, but people are lumping together variants with vastly different levels of evidence that we need to worry.
