Nonsense. Sale of goods act 1979, and the consumer rights act 2015. If the terms of service are acceptable to you at the time you buy, but then they are changed to be unacceptable, then the device is not fit for purpose by design , and you

Do you realise how big Siberia is?

I guess the other thing to note is that in an emergency I think the crew would very much like it if the passengers were alert and able to evacuate the plane on their own steam.

The Russians tried that when they had a hostage crisis [0]. It did not go well. Out of 850 hostages, up to 130 of them died due to the effects of the knockout gas. There's a reason why when you have medical surgery, you are knocked out

Usually, if something really bizarre like this happens inside the cabin, the plane will divert to the nearest airport. Unless they're in the middle of flying over a large ocean, it's unlikely to be hours.

I remember back in the early 2000s, I built a whole set of scripts to automatically download the next set of files from aminet, unarchive them, play them, let me give each a rating (0 to 9), and store that away so I could later tell it to p

And that reason would be? HbA1C is effectively a measure of the average amount of sugar that has been in your blood over the last couple of months. A spot sugar level is the amount of sugar in your blood right now, and can vary a huge amoun

Type 1 diabetes really is the type that hits out the blue seemingly without explanation. It is not caused by obesity, poor diet, or lack of exercise. Type 1 is caused by the body's immune system turning round and destroying the pancrea

As stated in the paper, the amount of Hawking radiation coming off it is absolutely miniscule. The black-body temperature of the emissions is much much lower than the temperature if you just look into space.

They are still only collecting a limited number of photons. That's a fundamental limit to how good a camera can be, and size helps massively. They are also diffraction-limited, meaning that at the size of the lens they cannot be any mo

Burying it in sand would presumably keep it hot for even longer. Sometimes the best strategy is simply to move everything combustible away from it and let it burn out by itself. A heat-proof barrier might have helped.

Yeah, I believe the best handling procedures for a big tank of extremely flammable fluids with explosive volatile vapours that is sitting in a fire[0] is to run away - a long way away. Sure, put out the fire and cool down the tank too, if y

From water, yes. If they're surrounded by something impermeable that isn't water, then that solves it.

It all started with top-posting, and went downhill from there.

Let's face it. At least it wasn't the sendmail config file.

No. The FTO gene from humans was inserted into the genome of these plants. That gene produced a protein that performs RNA demethylation, which isn't even epigenetics, because epigenetics is the set of extra stuff that happens on DNA, n

by mnw21cam 5y ago
The gene that was added is translated into a protein that floats around the cell doing the RNA demethylation. The plants already have other genes that produce proteins that did that, but adding another one has an effect. Edit: correction -

Amusingly enough, the FTO gene was one of the earliest genes where a link was found between common variants and a trait in humans[0]. Different subtypes of FTO influence your chance of putting on weight. The newspapers at the time (2007) ha

There are a few theories out there, and the truth is probably a mixture of them along with some we don't know about. However, firstly, type 2 diabetes starts out with no significant increase in blood glucose. The reason for this is tha

I love the little nugget in the mitigations section. You can plug the hole for a normal filesystem, but then FUSE filesystems have an additional problem: "if an attacker FUSE-mounts a long directory (longer than 8MB), then systemd exha

There is a tipping point beyond which type 2 diabetes gets a positive feedback loop, which can make it extremely hard to treat with diet/exercise/drugs. Also, the beta cells in your body that produce insulin can wear out through e
