The fantasy is a reality in China. It's not necessary to get to zero cases to have a disease simply not be a major problem, similar to Measles in the U.S. In the general population for Measles R<1, so while it pops up from time to

The flip side to this is that there's a thought that you can be a good manager without being at least adequate at the task that is being managed. I've found this to be untrue, and overwhelmingly the best managers are also good at

The western world made a show of trying, but trying to balance political considerations with covid control is basically impossible. When cases are low, the political pressure to relax restrictions is irresistible, and then R goes above 1,

A lot of post processing that modern phones are doing isn't really practical though in post. For super low light shots for example, the iPhone will take hundreds of exposures and merge them. If you were going to save this all as RAW,

I don't understand what we're supposed to be seeing here. If you do a google image search for "10 week fetus", you see something that looks quite different. Perhaps in these photos from the article the fetus was destro

Ironically much of the problem in California is that California essentially adopted German forest management practices, which don't work in California, because Germany has a very different climate. Germany is much wetter, and so when

The U.S. until fairly recently had two gaseous diffusion plants, Portsmouth and Paducah. These were built by the government and privatized as USEC in 1992. After the cold war, the U.S. had a program to import high enriched Uranium from bo

It's not absurd if NS1 were damaged. Even if Germany didn't want the extra capacity that NS2 brings, it's an obvious backup if NS1 were to fail. Anyone wanting to cut off the option of Russia supplying gas to Germany this w

I don't think a carbon filter is what you want for wildfire smoke. A carbon filter will remove some chemicals in the air, but for particulates, which is mostly what smoke is, you need a particle filter, for example a HEPA filter. It

It's amazing to me that AMD didn't put more resources behind better GPGPU and DL software tooling like NVIDIA did. This was an excusable error in 2015, but not in 2018. This probably cost AMD tens of billions of dollars in lost

YouTube doesn't care about your "preferences." It only cares about what it predicts your behavior will be. If you tell your drug dealer that you're trying to quit crack, he's still going to sell you more crack.

That's true, it apparently has some multiple choice questions you can answer, which is definitely better than just hitting the big red button and letting rescuers guess what the nature of the situation is based on you position. Being t

It seems like this is a big advantage of the inreach in that you can text with EMS to convey if it is an urgent situation. You can also text friends/family to make alternate arrangements if the regular rescue people aren’t going to be

I've had this happen three times now in 2.5 years. The first symptom is that the noise cancellation gets worse. Some months after that, you start hearing a crackling sound, particularly while speaking, or if you adjust the airpod in

There are several companies that are using machines with computer vision to identify weeds and then either squirt a tiny amount of herbicide (Blue River/John Deere) onto them, or burn them with a laser (Carbon Robotics, others).

You can put three kids in the back seat of almost any car. We do this in both of our cars. You just need to get narrow car seats. Two good ones are the Diono Radian and the Cosco Scenera.
