The Million Dollar Homepage was a big deal back then. I remember seeing it on the news a bunch. It likely got a ton of traffic and every website was trying to capitalize on the hype.

There are enough kidneys, there are not enough donors. I suspect we could get closer to balance if we changed to opt-out or presumed consent.

That market is likely the only one where the economics makes sense. Very few hospitals are going to pay $XXX to put copper on the bed rails only to have the front line staff not wash their hands on entry. The implant market makes more sense

There was a pedophile that blurred a photo of himself using the swirl feature in some graphic editing software. Police just simply 'unswirled' the photo to get a clear image of his face and arrest him.

Which is ironic as I don't suspect curtains would really form biofilms, but maybe it was applied to a different material. I can't quite recall. I think applying these techniques to implants is likely viable, but other materials wi

I kind of work in this field and this isn't necessarily a new idea (micro structures killing bacteria). I remember being pitched on a tech called Sharklet that was proposed for hospital curtains. This was likely 10-13 years ago and it

Likely that the cancers found by the sigmoid are the ones that reduce life years. Perhaps the cancers that are found and treated higher up the colon would have been found out in other ways or not serious enough? I'm not a doctor, so no

"mammography screening did not prolong life" from the abstract. If you are unfortunately talking about a personal experience, sorry, but you can't confuse n=1 stories with large research studies.

I asked a similar question and got the answer that we could technically put a ton of solar panels in the Sahara and use this new material to transmit that power to anywhere in the world (without losing any power). Currently you couldn'

Those are two I see mentioned the most often (MRI and maglevs). To be honest though, those are great things to improve (especially the MRI), however, the amount of hype in this thread and on the internet tells me there must be more than jus

They specifically act in a way to rule out fakes. For example they turn the magnet around to show that there are no small wires connecting the edges. They start and stop many times, they move in different directions. They knew the video wou

That's a good way of putting it. If you are a fraud, why make it so easy for someone to call your bluff.

How long do you think it'll take for the scientific community to determine whether this is fraud, error or the real deal?

The other theory is that they can't pay their cloud computing bill and therefore had to restrict traffic. Jives with the reports they aren't paying rent at certain offices.

I suspect they will launch "Following/Friend" soon. Part of me thinks they pushed the launch when Elon was limiting tweets. I don't mind ads either if they are obvious and targeted (no more penis ads like the early days

But you still have to pay don't you? I like verified users, but I also want to know who is prominent user. So maybe two badges? One just for verified ID and one for prominent user (the old blue check).

Threads need to realize the importance of the blue check and implement it. Prior to Musk, I would see a tweet, open the replies and look for the blue checks to see what "prominent" people were responding. Now that the blue check m

Do these panels usually have the ability to tilt (to follow the sun throughout the year)? If so, I wonder if just turning them as vertical as possible would have helped.

Somewhere a redditor did the math and I believe it would have taken 24ms for the glass to break and the water to rush in. Instant death if it was indeed the glass.
