Ever heard of anthropic bias? The question is not whether it's possible, but whether it's common.

It's not very hard to solve this problem. At work, we just have a bunch of small cubbies where everyone keeps their dosimeters. When you come in, you take it out and put it on; when you leave, you take it off and put it in. Occasionally peo

That's why you only wear your dosimetry when you're at work.

I work at a nuclear reactor, and for the type of dosimeters we wear on the job (thermoluminescent dosimeters), there's no chance of a false-positive, as far as I'm aware. The only thing that can cause the crystal to lose electrons is ionizi

The US Federal Code of Regulations has a section defining acceptable radiation doses for radiation workers[1]. This section places an upper limit on the shallow dose to the skin of 50 rems. To get an equivalent shallow skin dose from a back

Yeah, but one of these things I can buy at the store, go home, and an hour later be doing cool stuff with.

The health risks can't just be quantified by the overall radiation dose. It depends on how that dose is deposited in the subject. The letter raises the concern that the since almost all the radiation is absorbed by the skin, the dose to you

The aim is not practicality. It seems to me that the artist's hope is that this will function as a way of connecting people in a specific geographic region. Unlike bittorrent, there's a nontrivial chance that you could run into/meet up with

Goliaths are the standard response to mutalisks, as goliaths are Terran's strongest anti-air unit. They have a pretty good dps vs air, and they significantly outrange mutalisks. The Berkeley bot's mutalisk micro was just too good.

When I first understood Cantor's diagonalization argument, it blew my mind. It remains one of the most clever pieces of reasoning I've ever seen.
