This is not the smoking gun you're looking for.

First of all, it is an "ex vivo" experiment, which means they took a chunk of brain tissue out and tested it in a measurement device all by itself.

That means: No skull, no skin, and -- most importantly -- no blood flow.

Animal brains are thermally regulated. We're liquid cooled!

This matters, because in their tests they heated a piece of dead tissue with no blood circulation for minutes, and tried to extrapolate from that for biological systems. That time frame is plenty for normal blood flow to remove (or reduce) the heat.

To simplify: If it can damage your brain, it would definitely also burn your skin. If it doesn't burn your skin, it's almost certainly safe. This is basic physics: it has to go through your skin (and skull!) to get to your brain, and your skin has similar electrical properties and worse cooling than your brain.

This is it. And it's really the app stores that make them so.

On desktop, people are wary about installing programs, because they can pretty much do anything. So you can get people to visit your website who would never in a million years install your app on their PC.

With app stores, people assume that apps are safe, because that's what they were promised. But then the apps are hoovering up all their personal information, even more than they get from a web page on a desktop. And the app stores that claim to be constraining bad behavior don't kick them out for it because huge social networks are some of the few companies with enough market power to divert their users to another phone platform.
As a tourist, I didn’t know this. Will try this next time. I was wondering if I should pay tips or not in that case.

What if instead of declining you said, “I don’t have a twitter account.” Perhaps it’s less defiant to say that.

Ajit Pai, the commissioner at the time, was an ex-Verizon executive appointed by a corporate-friendly President.

Their experiment has a serious flaw: live brains have active temperature regulation and wouldn't see these large temperature rises. Put that dead cow brain out in the sun and its temperature would rise too. But that solar radiation isn't causing brain cancer in cows out in fields.
You have to look at the bright side. Now when an annoying family member who talks too long calls you, you can tell them you have to go because you are microwaving your brains.

Kubernetes does in fact need generics. There are types that all work the same but are different types all over the place. For example, you might make a reflector for a v1.Node, and that will call methods on your cache that are like Add(v1.Object), when the signatures should really be v1.Node. Instead, you have to cast the API to your internal implementation. It's not a big deal, but it's a solid example of something that generics would clean up.
I’ve always been told it’s an incredibly bimodal area. You have the guys the company can snag at $60k a year while their career stagnates and they become stuck and then consultants who worked with these systems way back in the day, may even be retired, but can charge insane consulting rates.

I tried to sneak in a restaurant to use the bathroom
but couldn’t. I used a bathroom in a bar once.
I think the paper makes a mistake by giving it that title and including the first line of the abstract, but otherwise it's not actually trying to figure out if 5g is harmful - such a title and outcome '5g = more radiation' makes it insanely easy for this to be used as ammunition for people who love a conspiracy like '5g bad' (just as groups did with 4g) even if the conclusion doesn't make any claim that this has a chance of causing medical problems for users.
Yeah I do. The meter checks that all the other emf from other sources is low too. I live rural so it's easier, neighbors are far away.
If you simply follow the money, the Telecom/tech industry certainly has a pretty big incentive to dismiss any health concerns over wireless radiation.

That and the fact that the FCC is basically a revolving door for Telecom executives.

Most abortions are as soon as the woman knows she's pregnant. Very, very few are late term, and, as a sibling mentions, those are almost universally due to health risks (possibly also a major change in financial status, relationship, etc).

To be clear, you are right that a late term abortion is pretty horrific. They're also -traumatic-. No one is -intentionally- waiting around to get an abortion; there isn't room for political argument here because anyone who finds themselves pregnant at a late stage and doesn't want to be is already in the case of "reasonable exception". A medical complication, a change in financial status to where she can't support it (when before she thought she could), etc.

No one is finding out they're pregnant in the first trimester, and then just can't make up their mind until the third, and we as a society need to set a date she has to make up her mind, or force her to keep it against her will. That's a made up justification, and as we continue to see, the same forces that make that justification don't even stop there.

Probably says more about the author than about nihilism.

From Google, nihilism is:

> the rejection of all religious and moral principles

I wonder if the author is religious and if nihilism is so contrary to the author’s core beliefs that it doesn’t even occur to them that these statements need further explanation and justification in order to be complete as a rational argument.
Consider taking it up with Lynne Peeples. The very subtitle of the piece is 'surgical masks are highly protective, but cloth masks fall short', I have no idea why she thinks '11% drop in risk' is 'highly protective', but '5% drop' is 'falling short'. Either way the numbers appear marginal at best.

Edit: Fundamentally I have an issue with any definition of risk that bounds the measure to a short time frame. For all we know the mask intervention may slow the spread speed by a small factor, but were we to measure over a year (or even longer) we might observe the same total number of infections: the virus is going to infect everyone susceptible, only at a slightly slower pace.

While not listed in the article, this is the design goal of the SPARC reactor.

Their plan is to use FLiBe (Google it) blanket to breed tritium. The Be acts as a neutron multiplier.

As for non D-T fusion, the next best candidate is D-He3. Unfortunately, the only large scale source of He3 is on the surface of the moon and it would have to be mined, on the moon, and sent back to Earth.

Ask HN: What are the downsides of using Postgres or MySQL for K8s control plane?
I've setup several k8s clusters on bare metal in the last few years, and by far the biggest challenges are storage and control plane corruption.

The last one is usually due to multiple etcd failure modes (corruption, daemon/pod not starting, network/port issues, ...) to the point where even with backups (restic, velero, etc) the cluster needs to be rebuilt.

So I'm considering using an RDBMS outside the cluster. Assuming I can guarantee availability and performance, what are the downsides of swapping etcd with a relational DB?

Thanks in advance.
The difference in the cloth arm wasn't even close to statistically significant (p=0.540). It was noise.
Yeah, DSP has a lot of really awesome stuff in it! I recommend https://www.dspguide.com/.

It turns out that pretty much any time you have code that interacts with the world outside computers, you end up doing DSP. Graphics processing algorithms are DSP; software-defined radio is DSP; music synthesis is DSP; Kalman filters for position estimation is DSP; PID controllers for thermostats or motor control are DSP; converting sonar echoes into images is DSP; electrocardiogram analysis is DSP; high-frequency trading is DSP (though most of the linear theory is not useful there). So if you're interested in programming and also interested in graphics, sound, communication, or other things outside of computers, you will appreciate having studied DSP.
Yes they did. Even Macdonald also closed them. I was asked to pee around the counter by a staff at a street shop.

Yep. But this is probably a good thing, since those out of date libs are likely to be vulnerable from today's POV.

To engineer the app work remotely safely on such vendor-abandoned devices you need to basically assume you're running on a malware or rootkit compromised device, and just hope that by using your self bundled components you'll have better chances to survive in the core wars game because your app is not being specifically targeted.

It’s better to collaborate with hotels to scale this idea. I want to do Airbnb for bathroom to be honest.
I think you are mistaken -- there is less penetration at 40GHz. The graphs show increased surface heating at 40GHz as a result of less penetration.

Informative exercise: put sunlight on that graph.

Note that the units (W/m^2*10^3) are such that F=1 roughly corresponds to the incident power of direct sunlight, 1kW/m^2. Results like 60 degree heating at the surface when it is illuminated with 15 times the intensity of direct sunlight suddenly don't quite seem so shocking. Yes, longer wavelengths were able to avoid absorption, but there had to be a frequency where it started behaving like visible light and shining on the surface instead, and 40GHz appears to be high enough. This is exactly what I would expect.

Is there a particular graph that had you worried that we could dig deeper into?

Seriously. I couldn't stop hearing The Dude from The Big Lebowski ("Yeah? Well, you know, that's just like uh, your opinion, man") while I was reading this. An astonishing amount of the heavy lifting in this article comes from assertions that we're just mean to accept, even when they aren't even explained, much less proved:

"Unfortunately, existentialism is difficult to maintain, because mostly we can’t choose meanings. Some meanings are nearly impossible to either alter or overlook, and so are some meaninglessnesses."

WUT
Just to be pendantic, I used the word fulfilling as opposed to meaningful as I believe they are different.

To the question though, with “can’t” being used loosely:

- Anything that I lack the correct aptitude/intelligence to work on. There are a number of options in this category. Things that while I could probably do in theory, I’d be unable to keep up with the competition in a professional market.

- Anything with limited options for employment. Sure I’d love to be a ~~Haskell~~ ~~Adga~~ Idris developer or researcher in some crazy field with absolutely zero immediate monetization strategy, but there just aren’t many jobs to apply to. Even if I did anything right I’d still be likely to fail.
I had thought in the past, that as long as the radiation did not reach the level of 'ionizing', that there was nothing to worry about.

However I do see papers like https://ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3780531 which talk about 'voltage gated calcium channels' etc. being affected. It seems to be a very complex subject...
I'd say yes and no. You most definitely have a point here as I agree that their model, or view, is different than NASA. However, if NASA had not happened, would even conceiving of a different model or target had happened? Not to mention just initial research into rocketry. It maybe could have happened without NASA, but probably with a severely higher initial investment.
A lot of "moral" codes can simply be justified by practicality. I think killing should be illegal, not because of some lofty ideas of the sacredness of human life, but because I don't want to be killed by somebody else. Same argument against theft -- I don't want my stuff robbed.

How on earth is home insurance so cheap in the UK?

In the US, the average policy is around $1,500/yr, the deductible is $500-$2,500, and your rates will go up the more claims you make -- so obviously nobody uses it for a damaged phone.

I'm baffled by how UK insurers could possibly turn a profit on insurance... if people were filing a claim for every piece of technology they owned every time they accidentally damaged something, it seems like that alone would make it unprofitable. Not even accounting for, you know, actual theft and home damage.

I have seen this indecision as a death knell on a few projects. You really just have to pick something, especially if you stop developing the soon to be deprecated tooling.

If it takes you two years to pick a new method, then all your developer community has to sit on their laurels. They can't invest in the old platform, they can't invest in novel tooling of their own, and they can't build with the new thing because you haven't chosen it yet.

I interpreted "thorny" in the original editorial as suggesting it might be medically unethical to give a vaccine to children whose parents disagreed.

Not the more generic observation that some people will protest against the government telling them what to do so the government will have to have a response in place.

If the latter, there's also the "thorny" authoritarian forced duty UK parents have to educate their children, by sending them to school, home education, or something else, and if the home education is not found suitable, the child can be forced to attend the local school.

I think mandatory education of children is an authoritarian measure, and I support it. I think mandatory vaccination of children for some cases, even contrary to what the parents wish, is also both authoritarian and yet not medically unethical.

I'm going on the definition "authoritarian: demanding that people obey completely and refusing to allow them freedom to act as they wish" at https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/authorit... as I think that's what most people mean in a survey like this.

Other definitions include "favoring blind submission to authority" or "relating to, or favoring a concentration of power in a leader or an elite not constitutionally responsible to the people" at https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/authoritarian but those don't seem appropriate.
