Here's the bad news: after spending a decade working in the medical device industry, I can say that security is not always a high priority in medical device designs. I don't think the situation is likely to get better until the FD

Clearly he is not a graphic designer, but he would benefit from contracting that out. The sites as they exist today give a poor impression of him. Appearances do matter. Even ignoring all of the dates mentioned, his sites and his resume do

Perhaps more surprising is that they now use a 9mm sidearm for that role, at least according to the article's speculation. Good luck doing anything other than making the bear mad with that.

On an intuitive level, it isn't surprising that a chemical so similar to BPA that it could be an "easy" substitute would in fact also share similar harmful effects. There are early rumblings (e.g. http://www.ars.us

Still lacking is consensus on why violent crime has declined. Depending on who you ask, reasons cited include: - Mass incarceration (usually credited with about 25% of the crime decline) - More gun control (e.g., the 1994-2004 assault wea

So what if the car can't drive itself in anything other than familiar roads during clear weather? I would guess that the majority of my current driving is done under those conditions. If the car could take care of itself most of the ti

Whiskey is not alone in this. A good chunk of American vodka is apparently actually made from ethanol purchased from Archer Daniels Midland (ADM), the same company that distills ethanol for use as a motor fuel. http://www.bbc.com

My favorite explanation of why tuition continues to rise is simple: people are still willing to pay ever higher prices. One step removed from that, the explanation hinges on student loans being too cheap and easy to get. I've always f

Here's some intuition about how the Doppler effect can be used to find location of a transmitter given a single receiver: objects (transmitters) moving in a straight line that are far away from the receiver will have less of a shift in

The popularity of the AR-15 is related to the popularity of the M16, but the "pretend you're a soldier" aspect isn't the main reason. A more complete explanation includes: - Lots of manufacturers - Reliable action (depen

Looks like the thermal imaging resolution was about 30x45 pixels, based on some quick measurement in Photoshop. However, it's interesting to see how much higher the apparent resolution is thanks to the overlaid edges from the visual ca

Thermal imaging sensors have been export-restricted for some time, though the details depend on the type of sensor. Here's a handy chart from DRS Technologies, which makes thermal sensors: http://www.drsinfrared.com/Sup

It's not just football where the strategies popular at the moment are probably sub-optimal. Consider ice hockey. Most coaches, if down by a goal, will pull the goalie for an extra attacker with about 90 seconds left in the game. It tur

What caught my eye was the implication that one can already be served via email. It appears that, yes, federal courts have allowed parties to be served via email in at least a handful of cases dating back to at least 2010, e.g. Snyder v. En

Perhaps it could be advantageous for men to freeze their sperm at a young age, too. There is some evidence that the older the father is at conception, the more likely his child is to have autism. There's also at least one study that suggest

Hooray for firetrucks! Back in undergrad, my fraternity owned two firetrucks, and for about a year I was in charge of them. One was a 1940s ladder (with an open cab and still-functioning ladder), and the other was a 1960s engine (closed cab

Interestingly, there haven't been many (any?) studies looking at the efficacy of flossing for prevention of carries (cavities). What evidence is available suggests that flossing can reduce gingivitis (gum disease). Relevant Cochrane review:
