Many different viral infections and other immune pressures can kick off ME/CFS. We don't yet know what otherwise actually means really, Epstein Bar Virus and Influenza but there is likely many others and only 70% of patients with

What has surprised me about the cloud is that the price has been towards ever increasing prices for cores. Yet the market direction is the opposite, what used to be a 1/2 or a 1/4 of a box is now 1/256 and its faster and yet

Both Google and Facebook have enforced real identity and its not improved the state of peoples comments at all. I don't think anonymity particular changes what many people are willing to say or how they say it, people are just the crea

Lemmy is mostly a clone of reddit with a lot less people on it. That is to say it works fairly well and doesn't yet seem filled with bots, but its got the same issues as Reddit since its based on the same design.

I replaced a battery in my (quite aged now at 6 years) old mobile last month. The original one puffed up and damaged the case holding the mobile together, incidentally it tested as 100% good in capacity! Took about an hour to replace the ba

If the government wasn't so famous for also locking people up that reported security issues I might agree, but boy they are actually worse. Right now the climate in the world is whistleblowers get their careers and livihoods ended. Thi

Its often completely normal to use healthy controls in a trial like this, healthy people not getting ill is your target audience and the long term stage 3 will be against healthy people. So many drugs are not tested against obvious groups t

I hope this reduces the CPU overhead a bit on the main thread with some time. Quite a few games that ported from DX11 to 12 and openGL to Vulkan didn't just gain performance from the API swap it required taking advantage of the new hig

We have had the technology to decarbonise the grid since the 1950s and we have known about the problem since the 1970s. Politics however has driven the use of CO2 instead of nuclear energy and required the drastic development of high end wi

The reason they consume water is the same reason space is a bad place to put data centres, getting rid of the heat is a challenge. Having only radiative heat dissipation is going to severely limit space based manufacture and computing, it p

Just because there are more studies doesn't increase their quality. The right way to do a systemic review is to assess studies based on their quality, such as design against bias, their size and method to include a combination of good

We also have found out that Covid decays less quickly in air with high CO2. So highly polluted areas and poorly ventilated ones compound the problem by trapping CO2 in and allowing the virus to survive longer in the air. That is very likely

There is at least a group that are willing to pay for Firefox if its ultimately a browser built for the user base against a hostile web. But that has never been on offer, donations have always only ever been for Mozilla as a whole and the p
