Different modulation techniques is the one they're claiming now. For some reason OFDM/CDMA is more dangerous than FM or amplitude modulation (AM) and there are huge biological differences, they claim.

I'm not an expert on this field, but I do know how to run the incidence numbers of cancer. One of his claims in the article is that for certain types of head-and-neck cancer, incidence rates are increasing. I cannot find any evidence f

Sounds like the same thing they said for 2g, 3g, 4g and Wifi. As long as I don't see a big epidemic of brain tumors or something related, I'll take these claims with a pinch of salt.

Points 2 and 3 heavily depend on the field you’re in. I’m currently in the medical field and not a single MD here has ever heard of or used LaTeX, type-setting is all done by the journals. The rest of your argument is of course spot on! The

The first ten years after a major spelling reform can be a bit of a mess, but as long as the changes aren’t too big or unrecognizable, it should be doable. The Commonwealth should be able to do it, if the political will is there.

Of course there are regional variations, but when speaking Standaardnederlands (standard Dutch) they are relatively small and consistent, nothing like Norwegian. With consistent meaning that the same syllable will almost always be pronounce

'sproeiauto' is still legal, one of the few Dutch words using all vowels in a row. One of the interesting differences about Dutch spelling compared to English, is that there's an official institution (Nederlandse Taalunie, li

Interesting point the article makes: better have more decent bus lines than fewer, elatively less useful lightrail lines. When looking at European cities, which are less car-centric, lightrail is usually built when it makes economic sense:

It happens sometimes, if there's delays and it'd make more sense for a cargo train to go in front of a slower commuter train. But absolutely not on the scale it happens at in the US.

True but being able to test it a bit on a small team is a big help. Migration from CE to EE is relatively easy and demonstrating CE to management helps a lot.

I looked a bit at the ranking weights in the interactive tool. The biggest factor is IEEEXplore, the repository of all of their journals. R and Matlab are used a lot in science, whereas no one is going to do a signal denoising algorithm pro

They probably did, but I doubt it'd be more than a rounding error for this ranking. Matlab's toolboxes are still way ahead of anything available for Octave.

R could make some sense for data science stuff (the more traditional kind, not deep learning), where it's a firm number 1. Think of business analytics or epidemiology, or the medical field where everyone uses R for their statistics.

Interesting to still see Matlab above Go, Swift and Ruby. Outside of some niche areas (control systems a.o.) it's not that much used in production iirc, and it's slowly being faded out at universities for things like signal proces

Not really trendy, but more the way it has always been done. Childbirth isn't a disease and shouldn't be treated as such, is the rationale behind it.

Really dependance on the kind of amp you tot. For older tube amps, this is a major concern indeed because they drive by current, not voltage, thus exploding the voltage when there’s no path for the current to flow. Modern class D amps don’t

Unlimited has to be unlimited by law. After 10gb of usage a day, you need to text a number (for free) to get a few more gb, and so on. That's just there to prevent flooding the network too much.

They actually won it 3 times in a row, with road legal vehicles (all of them got a license plate and thus passed the tests!). They know what they're doing.
