Non-ionizing radiation causes heating. E.g., looking into a 2.4 GHz source (microwave) of enough power cooks your eyeballs inside-out, kinda like boiling eggs. It's because they absorb a lot, but have negligible cooling due to a lack of blood circulation inside of them.

Lower powers don't seem to have significant effects, and if so, likely more of a metabolic nature than of a cancer nature. Getting an inflammation seems possible, but cancer-inducing powers cause thermal sensations/damage before you get cancer.

I wish I had your experiences in such clear-cut cases. I had to perform an independent investigation to get the insurance company to honor my side of the story in my last car claim, and relatives are dealing with a nightmare of a home insurance story that's looking like the insurance company is going drop them because of the complications involved.

In my experience, everyone is just trying to minimize their cash outflows. Incident claims are a zero-sum game, and if someone gets more or better information, that comes at the expense of someone else.

It is the regulations themselves, not the lack of them, that have allowed for these de facto monopolies to form. These have been at the local level, where practical considerations were relevant (my local company often has a cable mess going on 30ft up these poles), but they went overboard. Should a given city allow 30 companies to string cable across their poles? I think it is up to the city, but if they make a mistake it shouldn't be the company that is punished. Local governments often disrupt free enterprise with their regulations for a reason, but when they get things wrong we should acknowledge that.

Probably not. Apple is cautious about acquisitions and doesn’t generally buy things that have a consumer brand, they don’t really do advertising supported products, and they’re also mindful of anti-trust. My guess is that in the search space they see DDG as a useful partner, much like they see Yelp, but they’re not trying to expand into that business so an acquisition wouldn’t do much for them.
It's a significantly higher frequency. RF can raise body temperature slightly at high enough powers (any one who has been in an MRI for a while knows this, though that is much higher than 5G). This is a high-frequency signal with access points packed densely, which means more RF per person by an order of magnitude. Maybe it's like so many other things: fine in small to moderate doses, but harmful in large ones?

Not trying to fear-monger here, but the bottom line is we don't know. As the above comment said, I've seen experts on both sides, and really have no idea where to lean on this one.

> Would content producers be required to sell their content to every distribution network for the same price, so that every streaming service could, if they wanted to, make a profit by effectively charging more for the content?

No. The platform (Netflix, Hulu, etc.) would have to have a different ownership structure than the content creator. This would allow the studios to sell their shows to whoever they want under whatever terms they want (presumably to the highest bidder). This should theoretically let the free market work effectively.

This (separation of platform from product on said platform) is the basis for many proposals for breaking up "big tech" and is IMO the way to go.

Let me try to clear it up. (sorry, it got a bit long)

First, the skin (and skull and clothing .. etc.) does act as a barrier, which is why the graph that is shown in the article is flawed (this is mentioned). It shows absorption of microwave radiation in the grey matter of the brain, but it doesn't account for the skin and skull that blocks it.

There are two major effects of radiation: ionization (think X-ray imaging) and heating (think microwave oven). Ionization is irrelevant for 5G, because the frequency is way too low. Heating, on the other hand, happens at many frequencies. For example, a microwave oven is at ~2.4 GHz, just like Wi-Fi (which can also operate at 5 GHz).

That said, the heating is dependent on how much power is transmitted and how well it is absorbed by the skin. For example, a low-power source (Wi-Fi antenna) doesn't fry your skin like a microwave oven because a) the power is too low and b) it mostly reflects off the surface of the skin.

The power levels that 5G needs to operate at are quite low and the reflection off the skin is quite high. This is summarized nicely in the reference I gave in another comment here [1].

To answer your specific questions:

> So am I to understand 5G causes merely skin cancer, not brain cancer? Or is non-ionizing radiation safe regardless of shielding?

The ionization effect is not present due to low frequency (see above), the heating effect should be considered, but is minimal (see reference). The authors of [1] note specifically that the skin area is safe, but the eyes may be more vulnerable if the devices operate at large power and are close-by. So, this is not dangerous for consumers but may be dangerous for workers near antennas. However, the radiation level must be very high, and the distance very short. In my reading of the paper, it is not a danger for commercial telecom applications.

You have to treat it as intolerable. Getting cut off is like getting slapped in the brain. It's one of the first rules of engagement I make, because I'm usually the most cutoff-able person.

There is only one way to solve it that I have found. Whoever is boss makes a rule that cutting people off is not permitted. Enforcing it is like teaching a dog not to piss on furniture, you must interrupt them in the act; enforcement must be diligent, or it won't work.
It is just unreliable to depend on an external system and external UX to delegate the authentication on its whole. It is the cheapest way of delegate auth I think and has notable flaws. It can work.

1. bad UX, extra email step. Every. Single. Time.

1.1 Sometimes email servers take a while to send/receive emails.

1.2. Constant flood of emails. Swipe to delete might be OK a few times, but at the end it is a user overload.

2. No 2FA as with the process here, if added the process will get real very soon.

3. you still need tokens for the session and prevent someone else steals the key and makes a double login (e.g. looking at someone screen)

4. User might want to change email, so you auth system will need to implement real world UX sooner or later.

5. Think like a business. When problems arise you might want to assist the customer in a personal way. What will happen when their email got compromised? 2FAA to the rescue?
That is not a common thing in workplaces. Interrupting someone who's speaking is rude, plain and simple, in any context. People that talk over each other, to be blunt, have no manners. Are the discussions important to your work, or just social though? If work-related, they need to be managed in a setting where everyone has the chance to speak and be heard. I would discuss this with your manager if it's work-related, and hopefully he/she can provide an environment that's managed and not chaotic babble going back and forth. Also, there are books and resources that might help you be more assertive and confident in situations where you have to jockey for attention. There aren't many times that happens, but in competitive business, it does happen. Everyone is looking out for #1. I'd add that people that interject all the time are poor listeners, which is a problem in business(and life). If all they're doing is thinking about the next thing they're going to say to the point they can't even hold it in, then they certainly aren't paying due attention to whoever is speaking and the topic and giving it diligent consideration.
This may be a dumb question, but when I first moved to the US I was stunned to find that I was paying to receive calls and text messages. Is that still a thing? If so, would knowingly forwarding spam and fraud, and charging you to receive said call be itself fraudulent?

Doesn't seem like it.

> People complained and, at least according to what I read, not only did Nike change but they lobbied for legislation to force their competitors to change as well.

They realized their sales would drop unless they started spending more on manufacturing costs - which would decrease profit. Solution? Make all your competitors spend more too. That way we all make less profit, instead of me making less and everyone else taking over the market with their higher margins.
The math doesn’t really work out for your argument. For the DC metro, for example, the cost is about $1 per passenger mile. https://www.transit.dot.gov/sites/fta.dot.gov/files/docs/300.... Fare revenue brings that down to a $0.53 cent per mile subsidy. One calculation of driving subsidies (relying on various studies that estimate the cost of parking, pollution, etc.) brings the driving subsidy to about $0.43 per passenger mile: https://ggwash.org/view/10891/funding-amtrak-is-more-cost-ef.... (That’s from an urbanist, pro-transit website.) Electric cars cut that by more than half. (The direct subsidy for driving is just $0.02 cents per passenger mile.)

So if you didn’t have far revenue, each passenger mile of subway would receive about 4x the subsidy of a passenger mile of electric car travel. As it is, the subsidy is slightly higher for the subway than a gasoline car.
I didn't use my network to get a job. I moved to a new country with no network. I have a well paying job and am quite happy. I have not failed.

I can see the benefit of having a network, and even leveraging it. But it is not everything.
Raise it with your manager, if it's peer's discussion then someone should moderate. When my team has meetings, I moderate. I make sure those remote get to speak first, and then I make sure no one is speaking for too long and call other's by name to add their ideas. If someone interrupts, I cut them off and tell the person that was speaking to continue.

Yeah, I would be surprised to see an actual Real Analysis course in an undergrad engineering curriculum. All of the Calculus courses, ODEs, and LA for sure. And these will lightly touch on all the topics listed on the real analysis Wikipedia page.

But a course actually bearing the name "Real Analysis" is typically a 300 or 400 level course, rigorously proof-based, and not needed by an undergrad engineer.

> Please stop adding layers and layers of calculations, it's a waste of energy.

The trend in electronics is that this has become less true over time. As transistors have shrunk, the relative cost of calculation has diminished compared to the cost of transmission over distances. A cryptographic operation can be cheap compared to accessing main memory because the distances signals travel within the crypto logic block are tiny.

Complexity (as in more to understand) does not equate sensibly to higher power consumption.
Obviously you're paying for more than the drive. That doesn't make it a bad comparison. There's no great reason for the drive to be more than half the cost, so even with 3 copies amazon still comes out as making a whole lot of profit. There's a reason that multiple competitors can provide all those things at significantly lower prices.

And more importantly, if you're focused on storage then don't pay for features you don't need.
Midwest here, too. It's Macbooks all the way most any place under three-digit headcount. Or agencies, no matter the size. Larger places seem to favor Windows laptops where possible (all but iOS dev) because they're usually using MS collab and comm tools, plus (I assume) enterprise management with them is easier and/or finding Windows enterprise install base managers is easier.

I think I've seen someone running Linux on their work machine, like, once, in... 18 years? Twice if I count me, in the first half of my career.

This is the right way. People know interrupting is rude and if you call them out immediately you can just continue. Adding some gesture helps too, like raising the pointing finger :)
Iron particles are falling into the seas in greater quantities than thought
I have this issue too, I think it also has to do a bit with cultural background sometimes.

I grew up in a hispanic family in a majority hispanic community, where my everyday conversation with people was people talking over each other. It was common to start making your point while the other person was still finishing theirs.

The difference is, because everyone did it, we would just keep talking, even if we were cut off, and finish our thought. The other person would hear it, while still talking, and the conversation continues naturally. If you were in a group, you had to go louder than the currently speaking person in order to "grab the baton" and get your word in (something I was often too quiet for).

This was my normal throughout childhood.

It was a culture shock when I went to college and eventually someone called me out for cutting people off all the time. It was then that I realized that now, when I cut someone off, they actually stopped talking.

I still struggle with this, because I reflexively expect people to not let me stop them.

It's been interesting to observe this impedance mismatch in practice. My first job was writing software for a startup that sold to quant hedge funds. I did a bunch of research on my own, and one of the best practices I ran across was do not use floating point to represent money. Represent everything in terms of integer units of the most basic currency unit (usually cents), to avoid round-off errors. Then I took this information to my CEO, who shot me down on the basis that all their customers used floating point for their internal models, and so I'd be needlessly introducing friction.

And now I'm doing cryptocurrency analytics. The basic unit of Bitcoin is the satoshi, and in the protocol, all transactions are denominated in satoshis. (Similarly, in ethereum, the base unit is the wei and all transactions are denominated as 256-bit words of wei.) And yet basically all exchanges are still using floats. Sometimes they quote them as strings to avoid round-off, sometimes it's double-precision, but internally, it's all just floating point math. So once again I find myself doing everything in terms of floats, even though the underlying financial instrument uses integer units of a very small denomination.

Now that there's a huge proliferation of cryptocurrencies, I wonder if we'll eventually see one that gives up on this point and defines money as IEEE 754 double-precision floating point numbers.

Mostly about anyone adding something had to tie it to what the other person was talking directly, wrap it up with a summary and sort segway it back to the origional speaker.

Generally the meeting holder called on people and such.

Meetings had agendas.

After that it sort of bleed into how most conversations went.

Most of the film people have seen from Apollo 11 is the rocket itself (and most of the most famous Saturn V footage isn't even Apollo 11) and the lunar landing. I'd bet a significant number of people don't even know who Michael Collins is.

Most of the film people have seen from Apollo 13 is a movie where Gene's got a bunch of snappy quotes and has a starring role in the middle of the action in mission control.

I suppose it's an example of how much failures are far more visible than successes :) Going to the moon was "routine" by the time 13 launched because as far as the public could tell, it was all going smoothly. Seemed easy. A solved problem. That's even a theme in the Apollo 13 movie!
