Uhhh, Catholics are the original Christians. Martin Luther then split off and started the protestants. Catholics are very pro-science, believe in evolution, the big band (discovered by a priest).
Most of the anti science "christians" are born agains, baptists, and other biggoted christian sects, but not Catholics. For some reason they consider Catholics not real Christians.
Cells have a determined lifespan, as after repeated cell divisions, DNA replication errors occur. Errors are proportional to cancer.
Maybe having the cells age protect us from cancer.
No such thing as a free lunch.
If anything, it seems more traceable and trackable than regular old cash. Of course cash is harder to move around
Yes - likley this is a cost/TB issue, but I'm wondering what solid data like this is out there for SSDs?
This is from the Backblaze blog
https://www.backblaze.com/blog...
looks like the SSDs are slightly more reliable than the mechanical HDDs. I would think with time the SSDs are more likely to be stable, but realistically, who's keeping a drive more than 7 years on a home computer
I'll imagine that SSDs will continue to make more rapid improvements than HDDs as they are a newer tech. I certainly could do w/o the noisy HDDs.
We'll need English major to write speeches, go into PR,become lawyers, run companies, become writers , make movies, etc.
I don't want to live in a world where only concrete jobs exist without any art. That sounds like Communist China Under Mao and the Great Revolution.
As far as "proscribes" - sounds like a typo , and maybe they meant prescribes. Autocorrect can be a pain in the neck.
A significant amount of the population is actively resisting the vaccine, and we're only at 69% vaccinated. Need about 90+% to achieve herd immunity to effectively quench it.
Currently, the unvaccinated die at a 13:1 ratio to those who've been vaccinated. I'll use data from Texas, so as to placate the Deep-Gubmint, or denier morons.
Vaccinated people get Covid 20x less than vaccinated -e.g. 1:20, or out of 100 people who acquire Covid, only 5 will have been vaccinated, 95 won't have been.
Too bad, as I really loved shopping at the 1950's Sci-Fi themed store in Burbank. You could buy a chocolate shake and then pick out pretty much anything electronic you were looking for.
it's all about percentages and chance of transmission. The chance of transmitting an airborne infection depends on the distance and the frequency of exposure to infected people. The higher a chance that the person is infected will increase the exposure risk. Increasing distance will decrease that risk - the R^2 law loosely applies here. So to mitigate the exposure risk , it's a balance between the percent of infected people and the distance.
It's all about the percentages, like everything in medicine.
You need exposure to roughly 1,000 viral particles to induce an infection. Humans shed roughly 40 viral particles a minute - so 25 minutes for enough exposure if you happen to catch them all.
3ft vs 6 feet - loosely can use the R^2 law. Mask wearing significantly cuts down on the # of particles produced.
So yeah 6ft and masks are a good thing in America
Ever hear of the R^2 law? - it's loosely applicable to shed particles as well. SKin flakes are generally not coated with live viral particles, at least with SARS2 - CoViD19. We avoid shaking hands, etc because people touch their faces all the time. This virus is mainly located in the respiratory epithelium.
As far as this being some sort of hoax? I can say that with 25 years of practicing medicine, I've never seen morgue trucks parked outside multiple hospitals, yet here they are.
The science that suggests the BCG vaccination offering an immune "boost" is likely flawed and preliminary, and not peer reviewed as of yet.
You are correct. The 6 ft distance came from initial droplet studies, which have been further tested. Bother are effective, however since the US is the Corona Capital right now, an increased distance will be safer, as the increased distance almost acts like "herd immunity" The CDC recs are likely for the rest of the world, where the percentage of SARS2-CoViD 19 pts is much lower than the US. THerefore, the chance of catching the disease is less, and distance can be decreased to reflect the lower odds.
WHO recommends 3 ft
CDC recommends 6 ft
https://www.cdc.gov/coronaviru...
I would suggest 6 ft for us Americans as we have all sorts of idiots who refuse to wear masks, insist on wearing it below their nose,insist that doctors (like me) are making it up to make the president look bad, hoax, etc
if a civ can build a Dyson sphere, then it will. Whether it's built around their home star or another really depends on the max speed available. FTL/space warping may not be possible. If it is, then likely they will choose a star that has a good output around a host planet, or BUILD one a la Ring World, unless they can beam the energy elsewhere. Ideal stars would put out more energy than a red dwarf. Most main sequence stars are stable for billions of years. Choosing a red dwarf because they're stable for longer doesn't really make sense.
There will be some tradeoff between volume of the sphere vs energy captured and the light energy emitted that can be converted into energy. Maybe a tiny red-dwarf would be the best, as the sphere volume is fairly small. Maybe it isn't because the mostly red wavelengths emitted are crappy for whatever energy conversion they use. Red dwarfs are 0.08 to 0.5M.
There's a lot to consider, but lifespan measured in multi billions of years vs 1-2 billion of years doesn't make a lot of sense, unless they live for millions of years.
This might be an interesting strategy by SEGA. Have arcade machines on at night, and arcade owners get paid for running a server farm. THe machines can run at all times, and just run a few less cores if being used by someone at that machine to reduce the load.
I suppose you could also have a universal gaming machine, that could be updated to run the newest games - just DL the newest game. Hand controls might have to be standardized.
Or have the machine as a client - every game is available.
Thanks for the link. I was surprised to see that the total latency would be LOWER with the satellites faster intra-satellite laser communication than sending it over ground via fiber-optic.
For some reason - I was thinking that the distance up to the satellite and back would take a long time -silly , I know. But I guess the fiber optic has to run all over the place, avoiding obstacles, connections,relays, etc.
Seems almost counterintuitive that sending it up to the satellite would be faster, but I guess I convinced myself.
Blades are generally made from carbon fiber reinforced plastic , and/or plastic reinforced fiberglass. All should be able to be recycled.
Repeated stress will introduce micro fractures from the millions of stress cycles (I.e. bend a paperclip a hundred times and it breaks). Photo oxidation, and cold/heat cycles will also tend to weaken the rotors.
