There's also a very high correlation between PD and insecticide use. Cows eating grass treated with insecticide (sometimes because a farmer on the plot upwind of their meadow uses it) produce milk that contains high concentrations of i

The more interesting take would be: can we build a handheld with a haptic input that generates more energy than mashing these buttons. I am reminded of an odd controller for one of the consoles in what I think was generation 1 or 2, which c

One of the cooler takes of Bitcoin or "crypto" is that you can use native tokens to pay for visiting websites. A browser plugin combined with a lightning wallet for instance could enable a website to request a payment of any amoun

I've literally heard nobody say they want it to be 12.00 and bright out when they eat lunch, only that they want it to be bright out. Suppose we set the universal time to the current -12h meridian. Everyone works with that exact same t

Considering that the test doesn't require violation of the patient's body, I would not expect it to take extremely long.

Lasers are regular light, just all pointed in the same direction. The output of the laser (its capacity) is what makes it "high energy" and the number of photons hitting your retina is directly responsible for any warming of the t

Structure is important. Kids always attempt to overshoot boundaries or limits, and as they grow older, they get increasingly cunning at that. Toddlers often try crying or hysterics, which gradually morphs into argumentation (I didn't h

In my opinion, fraud prevention is, of all reasons to retain data, the least important. This example of dating app behaviour is easily detected with simple heuristics, and leads to far more important information than fraud could ever be.

That also ties better into the main theme of the book, which heavily emphasises human connection, which is what Cameron and his father lack. The eventual complete destruction of the car (and part of the garage) would spur Cameron into an ac
