I suspect part of the reason is that as an archeologist discovering a kitchen knife does not get you much recognition, whereas if you discover status symbols and fertility charms people pay attention. It makes it easier to get your artifac

Steroids cause problems with rage also. Still more people probably take acetaminophen than both steroids and statins combined. Some people probably take all three. Rage is a somewhat different manifestation than lack of empathy also.

So perhaps acetaminophen (Tylenol) is responsible for the increasing political divide in the USA and in the world? People literally care less about each other because their empathy is being blunted. How long does the effect last? Days at

Your experience seems more oriented to deciding what you want to do rather than being told what to do. Consider whether you want to get into coding what other people tell you to code, it can suck all the joy out of it.

That seems bad. I think one possible worse case new variant (aside from one that kills better) would be one that causes no deaths and just gives everyone long covid while evading vaccines and prior infection. The US government would not d

If anything the situation is probably the reverse, that fertilizer/chemical shortages are causing shortages of explosives for making weapons. Building more Stinger's is currently projected to take a year or two because of difficu

The abstract is pretty obstruse but this basically sounds like always-running apps on a phone or tablet, perhaps with the UI popping up depending on the context provided by the RF environment. This may solve a basic problem with phones and

So it seems obvious that this is not the only questionable use location data is being put to. Businesses could buy location tracks on competitors to find out if they are having health problems or to blackmail them. Criminals could use it

I agree with her, I've been seeing the same problems with the physics community for decades. Everything kind of stopped after Einstein, and in particular I think nuclear weapons scared the heck out of everyone. I have long suspected

One of the counter arguments I've heard about the use of HEMP weapons is that while they can cause great destruction, they can not destroy everything. There are regions of the world with mountains and it seems unlikely the energy from

The USA's Great Resignation seems to be caused by five factors that I can see so far: * Covid deaths, some of those people were workers. * Long Covid, not going to work if you can't. * increased drug dependency due to pandemic * w

Don't forget that most surgery also involves antibiotics which can be another cause of trauma, particularly to the microbiome. Changes to the microbiome have been shown to have cognitive effects recently.

Retired and did nothing for a few years until I felt like working on something again. I do not want to return to programming, I spent 30+ years doing that. Instead I'm working on other kinds of projects; electronics, art, video.

Maybe there needs to be some formal guidance on when a software application is out of date and needs to be rewritten? The banking industries reliance on ancient code written in Cobol has caused them (and everyone) numerous problems. If th

It was a big question 20 years ago whether computer science was an actual science. It's still something of a question. I think there's been recent recognition that computer science is something of a metascience. It brings bene

Remember that you are evaluating the company you are applying for a job at as well as them vetting you. Did you talk to the people you would be working with and have a bunch of questions ready to ask them? Part of the evaluation of your f

One approach is to eliminate congeners, the stuff that adds the flavor to alcohol but is also strongly related to kerosene. There have been hangover pills that actually do seem to work to some extent, RU-21 and Chaser, both no longer sold

Perhaps a better solution would be to do some actual medical research on reversing the deleterious effects of alcohol on the body? The metabolic pathway for alcohol is known, but I see zero efforts to try to modify it. For decades the med

Building a house within a house would also add a lot of soundproofing. I wonder if anyone has studied whether people like or dislike not being able to hear what is going on outside the house. Seems like there would be some safety issues,

I think it would be difficult to say. There are certainly specific products made in Shanghai, but other products made elsewhere may depend on parts made in Shanghai. The shutdown could easily extend to other regions at any time as well so

Yes, but PulseAudio requires loading a module, authentication, and configuration of several files. It's more versatile I'm sure but if you just want something that works quickly, using netcat to forward from /dev/dsp se

If you are just looking to move audio from one computer to another you can do it with netcat, no protocol needed: https://www.audio-digital.net/a-pages/audio-over-netcat.html I've tried this and it works.
