No, we know quite a bit about it at this point. The incubation period can range from 1-14 days but is 5 days on average[1][2]. The virus spreads through physical contact with commonly touched surfaces and through the air via droplets of sal

If that is the case, would you mind sourcing policy-breaking content from antithetical subreddits that have not been removed, quarantined, banned, etc?

What would the fallout be? The collapse of quarantined communities? The policy only applies to individuals that consistently upvote policy-breaking[1] content within quarantined communities which is pretty clearly qualified. Those individua

Do you have some sort of special deal on pricing? What sort of quantities are you ordering? For oshpark, it's $5/sq in for a batch of 3 boards. I just checked the prices at sunstone and they quoted ~$35 per board for a 1 square in

The Finnish GDP per capita is $45,700. For the US, it's $59,500. Please explain why social programs are so impossible for one of the wealthiest countries in the world.

The distance is beside the point. The amount of time it takes for your brain to parse visual stimuli, then propagate a signal to your arms, and finally for the muscles in your arm to contract will be much slower than a computer parsing a se

Much faster than a human would react. Acutely focused humans generally take at least 1 second to hit the brakes in an emergency. Longer if distracted or tired[1]. [1]: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/233039156_

I think 50 years is being overly pessimistic. Self-driving in temperate climates is probably pretty close (<10 years). Waymo has pilot programs currently underway in California and Arizona[1][2]. [1]: https://techcrunch.com&#x

All of the major manufacturers are starting their EV rollout this year. Mercedes is starting with the EQC. Honda is launching their Urban E. Toyota is planning to rollout 6 models over the next 5 years. This will likely be the decade of the

The author mentioned that the conservators used bamboo spatulas a couple of times. Is there a particular reason that they use bamboo versus some other type of wood or perhaps metal?

You appear to be confounding a few different issues here. 1) Transistor density has continued to increase. The original naming convention was created when we just used planar transistors. That is not the case anymore. More modern processes

It's pretty disingenuous to call Austin a "flyover small town". > Austin is the capital of Texas and the 11th largest city in the United States, and the 3rd largest state capital. The population of Austin is estimated at 9

Agreed. I think that Google/Apple have the right idea here. I am especially fond of Google's applications of AR in maps and translations as those use cases are both common and useful.

Quite honestly, the amendment should have been worded differently and I believe that is part of the reason we are in the mess we have found ourselves in today. For some reason, many Americans only ever seem to quote the final clause of the

It is not necessarily the final say. DHS may turn around and challenge the ruling which may then be picked up by the Court of Appeals for further review. However, the Court of Appeals does not have to review the case and even if they did, t
