Although the application is interesting, that's transcranial magnetic stimulation which has been around for a while. This is a new technique with different abilities. On the minus side it requires gene therapy to select the target, whi

It used to be common to think of alcohol as having positive effects - look at how people talk about it in old films. But some of the effects proved to be a problem in the end. for example, many people took a "nightcap"to help slee

There has been a study of that on ketamine, where they used patients who needed to be put under anaesthetic for other reasons. I'll try and find it in a bit... Edit: found it https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/does-a

Yes, thats the current law in most places. The op is proposing that not all agreements made by a company should be void on bankruptcy. Really, there are cases where this is obviously a change that needs to happen. Eg, if a company holds per

FWIW I would not consider my post above evidence of a bug. At the time I was suffering from a lack of sleep and other stressors.

This article is confused, or at best unclear, about how AQM works: "CAKE then added Active Queue Management (AQM), which performs the same kind of bandwidth probing that vanilla TCP does but adds in-band congestion signaling to detect

Yeah, although given the number of TEU shipped from China to the US, I would not count out a significant number of drones having been prepositioned in US territory.

You have a point, but often it seems that if a comment got a downvote because some rando took exception to it without a good reason; then the crowd will vote it back up fairly soon. And indeed, your comment is not grey at the time of writi

They may not have linked the source in the paper, but it's not hard to find: https://github.com/Kaiwen-Tang/Sorbet Haven't checked if there's enough there to build it.

It would be interesting to know the stats, but one reason may be that it's easier to carry a baby with you when running from a predator.

You would use CPU id by having the vanilla image display its ID (or perhaps some more humanly readable derived name) until assigned something to display. It won't know that it's moved, that's an advantage of the port method.

If lldp proves inconvenient, pi's also have a unique cpu-id, which can be found in /proc/cpuinfo I think something similar exists on most processors

That one is a bit odd, because the central bit looks like a roundabout but is not. To navigate it you need to forget the central bit and focus on the five mini roundabouts

Ok fair enough, that extra bit does make it slightly more complicated. Having said that though, I would not be fazed by this, and I don't think many UK drivers would be - because we already deal with many that have more parts. When I

It may be unusual there, but in the UK we have loads. Some are smaller than this: the minimum roundabout is just a paint circle. They aren't a problem Most people here actually prefer roundabouts to traffic lights because you keep movi

I get reducing your attack surface, but to what extent do modern devices still trust the network by default? Laptops and phones have to assume that the WiFi network is not under the control of the user. I guess printers etc assume they are

In many industries it's standard practice to cause pain to one customer to avoid causing pain to all of them. If you've ever had work done on your house, a small guy who overruns will often bail out on your job ( and reschedule) r

There's an actionable difference between pharma and most other things. Property rights should "give notice" of the boundaries of a property, most obviously you lose certain rights if you fail to mark the edge of real property

Are you aware of the history of the US Senate? It had exactly the same problem. Senators were appointed by the political elite of each state. But, once one or two states decided to elect their senator, it was game over. The other states gav

Good analysis. Not sure I agree that they are all linear in degredation. Anything that serves a queue has superlinear degredation; as the service rate goes over the arrival rate. We've hit that tipping point in the UK and waiting time
