I doubt ultrasound would trigger apoptosis in cancer cells, one of the reasons they're cancerous is that they refuse to commit suicide when they should.

The pacemaker example is an interesting one. Medical devices are shrouded in secrecy, ostensibly for "good reasons", but in reality they're often insecure garbage. I'm not sure if an open source pacemaker would be safer

Spent last week at a Java conference, and it made me realise that I haven't made many open source contributions of late. So I'm currently going through the issue trackers of the projects I rely on the most to see where I can pitch

If you're targeting the EU, you might want to look into PEPPOL.

As a fellow migraineur, I feel compelled to point out that the quest for triggers and root causes is probably never going to end. The way I see it, the migraine "bucket" slowly fills up, and the final trigger is simply the drop th

I love this mismatched list of grievances and I find myself agreeing with most of them. XHTML and proper CPU hypervisors in particular. People being too lazy to close the <br /> tag was apparently a gateway drug into absolute may

It remains mind blowing how our body is filled with tiny mechanical motors that (almost literally) churn out ATP.

It's only bullshit if you're certain that the electrical installation passes muster. I've seen many installations that are downright dangerous, mostly in older homes and cheap apartments. There's a reason for the 800W li

Foods with high amounts of seed oils tend to be cheap unhealthy garbage. Fried fast food, sugary crap, etc. I suppose these health concerns are a simple matter of correlation vs causation.

The more I read about aphantasia, the more I'm convinced half the people who claim to have it are simply of the anxious persuasion. The language used to describe imagination, or the perceived lack thereof, is pretty conducive to foster

When I loaded the page, the first thing I saw was some antivax garbage. Is this one of these things where "each sentence must be true" is twisted to the point that every lie becomes a truth?

Cool! How far are you planning to take it? Interpreted mode only? Or do you plan on going the whole HotSpot nine yards with compiling bytecode down to native code?

Really cool, but please consider adding support for using the arrow keys and/or changing the keybindings. Right now it's unplayable unless you're using a QWERTY layout.

I encounter people taking pictures, making video calls, and recording insta/tiktok/whatever videos in the gym changing room all the god damned time. I keep telling people to stop, but not once has anyone responded with "oh so

I would love it if everyone who proposed more surveillance would be subject to that self same surveillance for at least a year before being allowed to push it onto other people. Go through their bank accounts with a fine toothed comb. Watch

> Welsh benyw (woman) is cognate with English queen (which used to mean "woman"). The relationships between languages are fun and fascinating. "kvinna" still means woman in Swedish.

So the short answer is that you're shit out of luck and have to trust the voting system, the server, the javascript, and the vendors that produce them? Presumably all of this source code is available somewhere for auditing?

How do any of these schemes ensure that votes can't be traced back to individuals? Secrecy is an important part of voting.

There used to be a vaccine for lyme. It got pulled because of some apparently unfounded claims about causing autoimmune disease. Having dealt with it myself, I can only hope that humanity starts taking lyme and other tick-borne diseases mor

Not just pancreatic cancer, but heart disease, heck even general quality of life. It's hard to get good nutrition without teeth.

I imagine this goes beyond what most people think of when they think of "intimacy" (sex, relationships) and includes all kinds of emotional closeness and friendships. Maybe it's just my imagination, but I've noticed a de

If the goal really was "to protect the children" then all the time, money, and effort being spent on this dystopian shit would instead be spent on the treatment of pedosexuals in order to reduce the number of perpetrators. On chil

I have a friend who performs court-ordered treatments of people convicted of sexual crimes. She frequently sees cases like this. Young teens sexting, parents of one of them find out, the other one gets in legal trouble. It is absolutely ins

Not only that, but soon it will require age verification and device attestation. Just in case you're trying to watch something you're not supposed to.

So are these Russian drones? Or perhaps protests against their pushing of Chat Control?

Along with chat control, it really seems like the EU is pushing a dystopian digital agenda.

I have a Zehnder ComfoAir Q350. Overall I'm very happy with it. My only regret is not having installed the optional additional filter box. Due to the limited space and the place I've installde it, it's not feasible to retrofi

I installed an ERV system in my very small and very old home. It was quite a bit of work, but nothing terribly difficult. Finding a suitable spot for the ERV unit was the biggest challenge: it is quite bulky and not silent, and you need to
