Apart from the potentially massive significance to low-income countries and health costs, does someone has a good grasp on the applicability of the algorithmical advances towards classic MRI? My current gut feeling is like: If 0.055 Tesla c

Indeed, most people are very surprised that a stick of dynamite has just the energy equivalent of a Snickers bar. Spread the energy release over more than just a few microseconds and you have a very different profile.

I get your point, but I skipped the details there in order to not water down my story there. In my city, I‘m just using car sharing anymore and they just have ID.3s. Now, half of them come with the feature on, the others off. If you let the

Beware however that this flexibility and initial ease is more often than not a slippery slope into chaos. This article put it really well in my opionion: There are no schemaless databases, just the ones with an explicit schema and the ones

Thing is, it‘s not just Tesla. Old economy carmakers are taking a page from the playbook by now to skip to the front line — and it‘s exactly the wrong one. Having driven the VW ID3 a few times, it‘s truly horrible in this regard. The climat

While your point is spot on, it probably won‘t matter in the long run. With the infection rate of Omicron, we as a society were faced between even more ridiculously restrictive measures to contain it after the first economy destroying measu

I used to be anti nuclear, then I was pro, but by now I‘m back to anti. Main reason being that it‘s too slow to move the needle by now. Any new nuclear project by now - even if we’d change public sentiment and regulations today - is so time

I still remember the outcry when the EU banned incandescent bulbs in 2009. CFLs were crappy and full of heavy metals, Halogen was half-assed, LEDs were expensive, too blue and too weak. People were defending their radiant heaters in full fo

However, there is also the possibility that you have completed your karma in this area. It is possible that this was one layer of purpose, which you have now fulfilled, on the way to another layer of purpose, closer to your deepest purpose.
