The first reason is that it is a war crime. The second reason is that it would be trivial to defend against with standard laser safety goggles.

The epoxy was applied on the outside and was later covered by insulation. Here is a picture from the EVA where they cut away the insulation and located it: https://i.insider.com/5c112efc4a8213310205a17b

It isn't. No court has ever interpreted the GDPR in the bizarre way suggested in the linked article.

For me it doesn't really work. Searching any large folder completely stalls the UI for a few seconds. How can it be so slow to go through a bit of text?

Fun fact: The German foreign office warns about these kind of laws on its travel information page for the USA. Most European parents would not expect this to be a problem.

The German national ID contains an NFC smartcard since 2010. Unfortunately, adoption has been quite slow. Many companies still use some wonky video based authentication procedure. I guess they believe that installing a separate app is too h

My point is that countries whose legal systems don't rely on juries appear to be less affected by such counterfactual rulings. Maybe it is simply easier to manipulate jurors than professional judges.

That is a very unusual definition. Wikipedia defines truth as "the property of being in accord with fact or reality". In that sense truth exists independently of what people agree on.

I don't think it is acceptable that the legal system is punishing someone for causing damages that are probably not real, even if that someone is some evil corporation.

Could you give a reference for these claims? I couldn't find anything conclusive.

I know the theory, but again there seems to be no good evidence for it. Some of the studies I found were quite large. If this had happened, they should really have seen it.

As far as I know, there is still no good evidence that talc usage leads to a significant increase in cancer risks. This is despite the product having been used by many millions of people for decades. There are also plenty of large-scale stu

This post is a perfect example how some political groups have weaponized the messy way science works. When the vaccines were originally rolled out, they did a great job at preventing infections and transmission. This was clearly seen in the

The explanation is quite simple. Electricity from the grid is still very cheap. It therefore makes no economical sense to buy huge batteries for buffering your home solar panels. Since there is no demand, there are no products.

This is yet another misconception. Hydrogen embrittlement is due to atomic hydrogen being created in chemical reactions. Gaseous hydrogen consists of H2 molecules which do not lead to embrittlement [1]. [1] https://en.wikipedia.o

Standard industrial gas bottles are 200 or 300 bar (2900 or 4350 psi for the metrically challenged). They work just fine for storing hydrogen [1]. [1] https://www.lindedirect.com/resources/gases/hydrogen

The talk is about liquefied gas. Bottled gas has way too low density to put it on a tanker. The losses are due to boil-off, not due to leakage.

While I really like the movie, the hydrogen technology part and its dangers are entirely fictional.

Hydrogen is not at all hard to contain. Just put it in a gas bottle. The real issue is the very low density which makes the tanks rather large.
