Then maybe this will make it more expensive for them to do that (which would be good because it's a bad thing to have been doing)

But what about ship and sell? That's what I'm talking about. Storage is very cheap in developing countries.

Why would they destroy the clothes instead of selling them to consumers? Developing countries already have huge markets for selling, altering, and repairing second-hand clothing that gets sent by thrift shops in developed countries. If anyt

Right, it's completely up to Kim personally, so why would he care about the tradition of having a male heir?

Soong Ch'ing-ling was explicitly not Communist as I understand

I feel like a a tremendous problem with these agents is that by default the prompt is called "SOUL.md" - just in the name of the file you are already setting up the agent to anthropomorphize itself.

Would that make her the first woman to be a communist dictator?

Would that be true? Perhaps he chose his daughter because she is his eldest heir or because of merit compared to his other children.

While I still do believe this concept is not scalable for the reasons I stated, I did find a company actually doing it: https://www.wemasto.fi/heatchain Something like 20 MW of capacity so far!

That is not what this is about. You've always been able to advertise rice with turmeric as free from artificial colors. Here, the FDA is allowing for so-called natural dyes which are just chemicals that have been extracted from plants

I brought up capex because that is essentially the only thing that matters to datacenter customers. They want to comply with certain (very stringent) green standards, and any opex savings beyond that are just not a big deal to them. You can

Well a few considerations: - You have to size your cooling towers for your hottest hour. Doing this saves you no capital costs. - You barely have to run the fans on your cooling towers in the winter because the air is so cold. So often this

Wellbutrin can/should(?) be taken indefinitely and there's nothing wrong with that, it doesn't pose big long term health risks. As I understand it the issue is with SSRIs (they do pose health risks, obviously there's not

You also can't prove that your normal lightbulbs won't magically start outputting harmful wavelengths. Best to live in the dark I suppose.

That is not true. It can cause possibly eye irritation but animal trials have shown that it is not carcinogenic even to mucus membranes, eyes, and thin-skinned areas.

The person who blasted the crypto people with UV was not using far UVC. Lots of "toxic" things are beneficial for public health. I'm sure you could poison yourself with soap but we put it in every bathroom. Like with soap, it

Yes, it may not be good. However, that study used thin material samples - and those are particularly vulnerable to UV. Thicker materials are more resistant because the UV doesn't penetrate into them. If you want to deploy UV in a speci

If you were going to duct it then why wouldn't you just use regular UVC? Much cheaper.

by elil17 9mo ago
I think that is the same thing as saying that Far UVC is non-carcinogenic.

by elil17 9mo ago
I do not believe that there is a good understanding of the impact of far-uvc on plastic embrittlement.

From Aerolamps website: >Does Aerolamp produce ozone? >Yes - but only a very small amount >Typical indoor ozone levels are 4-6 parts per billions (ppb), while average levels of outdoor ozone are 20-30 ppb - almost all indoor ozone

Yes, you can point this specific UV wavelength at your skin and be fine. People have done extensive animal trials and it is not carcinogenic. Many people have been exposed to a lot of far UVC and nothing bad has happened to them. Looking ri

Far UVC is not carcinogenic (most UV is, this is just a specific wavelength that isn't). Ideally you'd want to use these lamps in environments that our immune systems didn't evolve for, like crowded conference rooms and schoo

The advantage of far UVC over other UV air cleaning solutions is that it doesn't need to be ducted. This means that you can kill microbes right when they leave someone's mouth - you don't need to wait for them to be sucked th

I don't really understand how this is big food "winning against GLP-1 agonists." Aren't they just selling healthier meals with smaller portion sizes?

How long before the government intentionally does something stupid so that a Prediction Market pays off? Probably won't happen actually, since they can just do blatant insider trading on the stock market instead.
