I have not read the article but I believe that usually routine exams are done with X Ray, because it is quicker and cheaper. However if something is a bit worrying, doctor may ask for a different type of exam, MRI or Ultrasound, to have som

Even with low friction, you probably need to apply brakes at rest to avoid having it to move uncontrollably at the wrong time. But certainly it could be manual. By using a motorized motion, you have more freedom in the design, and you can l

Has anyone any idea what standards might apply to autonomous moving part inside a home ? I am not sure that it actually exists, but at some point, someone is going to be crushed by its moving furniture or trapped in the sofa.

A logical next step would be to add bounty on specific bugs or features requests. If a company is relying on open source, and has no capability to fix a critical bug (which is a bad strategy but it certainly happens), it would probably be

On the other hand, if you can submit a "new" medical device through the 510k process, it is the device manufacturer that certifies that the new equipment is equivalent to an existing product. That is mostly comparable to what Boei

I am not sure more science can be an issue, it is still a ridiculous small amount of money compared to defence, debt servicing, etc. Who knows, someone might find a negative feedback loop for climate change that we could leverage, even in s

It depends on how big is the base rate of emission of N2O for boreal forest, if it was negligible before an increase of 42% is certainly not good but might not be catastrophic.

In the example at 00:24 I would be interested to know how the system reacts if a car comes from the other direction. Does it brake knowing it will collide ?

I believe this is a case of pareidolia. While I believe it is credible, Michaelangelo would have seen dissected corpse, I don't think a brain cross section would have been that detailed at that time. Looking at Da Vinci sketch below, i

Fair enough, 80 km is some kind of absurd extreme value, but Luxembourg city centre is about 25 km from Cattenom, so you can at least expect some real estate upheaval at the very least.

I think when talking about nuclear accidents, there is too much a focus on the actual death rate, but not on the impact of the evacuation area. For example, if you look at Cattenom Nuclear Power Plant location on a map and create a 80 km ra

This is mostly a matter of taste, but if the first example makes sense, the second example looks less clear, because, for someone quickly skimming through the code, a variable which have a somewhat clear meaning "yes" (that could

The lack of capitalization and the random bold words and links make the text really hard to decipher. Since this is a design blog, it is probably on purpose, but still, this looks bad and probably limit user engagement (I did not even finis

I somewhat agree with you, then I heard something that will give some perspective. Notre Dame is visited by about 12 Millions people per year, and the access is free (at least to visit the ground floor I think there is a fee to get up in th

It is similar to Jevons paradox in economy [0]. The cheaper or more efficient something is, the more it is acceptable to waste. On a 8 bit microcontroller, you usually don't waste too much resources because you are really limited, on t

Maybe having 3 human judge and one AI judge would be something acceptable from the public. That is an interesting discussion anyway.

It is more a fantasy back of the envelope calculation than a real number, I can't imagine that Boeing won't be able to fix the issue. In the end, it might be some penalty paid to some companies, and a slightly tarnished image, but
