Relatedly, the connection between leaded gasoline and the rise and subsequent fall in crime is woefully under-reported. It's been studied in the public health literature for a long time, and has only gotten a bit of reporting here and

This isn't a reviewed article, btw, but a "correspondence", which per The Lancet: "Correspondence letters are not usually peer reviewed (we rarely publish original research in this section)".

I've found that if you don't transplant out of such containers very early, the root system is stunted. Instead, you can take two cardboard 1/2 gallon milk containers, cut the bottom off of one and stack them to make a tall tu

Polyembryonic mango varieties can be true to seed, whereas there are no polyembryonic avocados (so they only rarely produce decent fruit from seed -- grafting is much more important for avocados).

This is a problem I often see when folks grow annuals. Perennials are way lower labor, and one of the reasons I encourage community gardens to avoid being entirely focused on annuals.

Here's a more California oriented list of edible plants that grow in the shade: * Chilean Guava (Ugni molinae) * Pineapple Guava (Acca sellowiana) * Babaco (Vasconcella x) * Passiflora antioquiensis * Passiflora "Mission Dolores&q

That's right. The natural way to do this is to do long-haul point to point wireless using commodity hardware. Such backhaul links will be limited to a few Gbps each but that's better than nothing. Building this out further, you co

The current system (as noted above) is dependent upon fossil fuel inputs, and it may be a driver of a future decline as you note. Unfortunately we've boxed ourselves in -- we don't have the industrial capacity / biology for s

This is still a subject of ongoing debate, and little has stood the test of time. Take for example work by anthropologists such as Herman Pontzer that find that hunter gatherers do far more physical activity than Americans yet burn the same

I highly recommend Prof. Tom Murphy's new book "Energy and Human Ambitions" (freely available as well) that is sort of a deeper dive into some of the questions that Mackay explored: https://escholarship.org/uc

This is a layered problem; Apple and Google (for better and worse) are best positioned to deal with the app ecosystem. But there's the mobile provider piece of this -- the tower knows where you are because currently it has to, and the

That's right. (The token is used for oblivious authentication, so it's not identifying.) The attach procedure works as usual, it's just that the IMSI/SUPI is no longer individually identifying (which then necessitates

Thanks! So the paper that the other commenter linked is a good deep dive. The basic answer to your question is that we have multiple variants but the simplest is that phones using PGPP would have the same IMSI; once you do that, you hide

You're right: the big carriers don't have much incentive to deploy this -- yet. We think deployment will come through three paths: 1) virtual operators (MVNOs) can differentiate themselves by offering PGPP-based privacy-enhanced
