It's weird to me that they say 35 of the 801 MS cases were negative then positive before getting MS. The control group had 107 of 1566 were negative, but they don't bother to tell us how many of them ended up positive. I assume en

EBV causes more severe symptoms the older you are. So everyone here who remembers getting it and it being terrible? That's because you got it as an adult. If you get it as a kid, it can be asymptomatic. I got it at 36 and had a fever t

PCIe Gen5 is now available in the latest Intel desktop processors. There are very few lanes, so it can really only run a single GPU, but that's covers a lot of the potential market.

Their Synchronized<> is a thing we also came up with to use in our code. It's so helpful it should be part of the Standard Library.

SF has always been a far worse place to live and work unless you are young and like nightlife and restaurants and lots of socializing outside of the office. Yes, SF has gotten worse because too many petty crimes have been de-criminalized

It's odd to me that such a significant source of fatalities is being addressed in a very unambitious way. Left turns are clearly difficult maneuvers in many parts of SF. Why not turn them into protected left turns? This "just blam

Yep, the "wrong" velocity is what you suggest: the horizontal velocity is missing. Keep in mind the horizontal velocity is the critical detail that distinguishes "orbits" from "crash landings." There is no conv

The tumbling in this video is a good demonstration of the angular momentum problem. The projectile has a carp ton of angular momentum after release, and there's no system in place to fix that. Maybe you could cancel it using the atmo a

A think you may have missed the part where I wrote "connection to the grid." My point is create an energy storage station, all you need is water and grid power. No pipelines needed. This hypothetical power storage site would gener

$1 trillion of pipelines? Why? This is about splitting water using electricity. You can create and use the fuel at the same site. Just need a water pipe and a connection to the grid. Splitting off hydrogen at a separate site is just wastefu

Yes, and under the hood Handbrake is using the FFmpeg libraries. Handbrake's value is providing simple presets that "just work" for converting video for various uses. Want to convert video for playback on an iPhone? Handbrake

Ok but why not use a PRNG for a hash function using the value as the seed? It will scramble the bits nicely.

"There will be inflation" is indeed a reasonable prediction. But that is definitely not the definition of hyperinflation[1]. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperinflation

Not the flagger but... this is pure conspiracy theory. Even in bubbles like 2008, there are some economists who see bad things coming. This has zero support among serious economists. If the argument was "inflation is coming," you&

There is no "first sale" for a non-transferrable software license -- even when you get it as a part of a physical good. You are confusing licensing with copyright, which is a different thing entirely. When the second sale occurs,

That's an incorrect understanding of rainforests, and has me scratching my head at the article. It rains because of Hadley cells. Hadley cells don't disappear with global warming, so it will still rain a lot in the tropics. Why on

A rabid bat might not be showing any symptoms, so you have to assume all bats might have rabies. That's why health authorities tend to say "just looking at a bat, you can't tell if it has rabies." That said, daytime flyi
