Society wasn’t even ready for a waymo to kill a cat

Often times it’s cheaper to add the label than pay for the product testing in a lab.

It’s theoretically possible, some experts think no level of radiation is “safe”. Yet, it’s so improbable that the risk of developing cancer from a single banana is indistinguishable from background noise. You get a far higher dose of radiation just from living on earth.

This fun infographic from xkcd shows a comparison of doses, and just how low a banana ranks. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banana_equivalent_dose#/media/File:Radiation_Dose_Chart_by_Xkcd.png

It would have to be the “perfect shot” of a particle hitting a cell to cause DNA damage that wasn’t repairable. And you would need to be extremely immunocompromised.

If you were in such a position to get cancer from eating a single banana, you would likely already get it from living life.

They don’t actually tell you why.

I presume it’s because people in stem are more likely to have strong opinions about statistics, validity of tests or science, that sort of thing. Or, they’ll sound more competent when discussing with other jurors.

I also think both sides wanted to appeal to emotions, and have their expert witnesses be the technical authorities.

I recently went to jury selection, was excused twice. Probably because I raised my hand when they asked “has anyone been a victim of reckless driving” and the case was about a DUI and reckless driving. The other involved DNA evidence and they struck all of the people who worked in STEM.

Anyway, the security did NOT let me bring in my fountain pen, asked me if it was a pen gun lol… Ball point and pencils were fine. I think crochet needles won’t be allowed… Vapes and zyns were allowed. They didn’t seem to care about food or liquids at the courthouse I went to.

You’ll be spending most of your time in the waiting rooms, unless you’re picked for a trial.

Drinks and food were up to the judge, but the 2 justices I reported to basically said “if you have drinks, make sure they’re covered, otherwise be careful and don’t spill”. Boiled down to “don’t make a mess”.

They told us to turn phones off, but a lot of folks did not.

Books and sudoku should be fine. Just try to bring an empty bottle you’re okay with tossing if needed. There will likely be vending machines inside too.

You would have? That’s fucked up.

Pin pitch means how tiny the physical pins in the connector can be spaced apart.

IR drop losses happen because a wire has resistance, it isn’t a perfect conductor. 28AWG wire has about 0.22ohm/m. Given a 2 meter cable, you might expect to see 0.44ohm one-way. Current is also travelling back, so the circuit “sees” another 0.44ohm. That’s a total of 0.88ohm

A wire will cause voltage drop following ohm’s law. V=I/*R. So for 1A of current, you will see 0.88V lost.

Say you’re trying to charge at 15W (5V 3A), your phone is only going to ‘see’ 2.36 volts, and 7.9W are wasted in the cable.

For a 100W device (20V, 5A), 4.4V are lost, also meaning 22W are wasted.

The concentration of them is rising exponentially, that’s the part that terrifies me.

It’s possible we just haven’t crossed a threshold yet.

And formula fed

They’re everywhere, i’m not sure that’s even physically possible.

Probably, but you should be wearing PPE anyway. And washing your hands like it has lead, even if it doesnt.

Generally microscopic particles of silica, metals, paints, oxides, etc. aren’t good for you

I think you’re all missing the significance of not observing an increase in radiation levels. That would absolutely cause a detectable rise in radiation if the site were active recently.

The obvious scenario would be enriched uranium getting blown up and scattered. But even if they removed the enriched stuff, doesn’t everything else get blown to smithereens?

What about the U238? What about the uranium hexaflouride gas? What about contamination or contaminated parts from the equipment?

Oh shit, AI is evolving by natural selection. There’s a feedback loop of how people interact and training the data.

How much of the issue is the system vs the students?

When I was in school, I remember dealing with hours of homework on top of extracurriculars and eventually working a job.

My choices were do homework or sleep. Either way I lost. So I definitely used chegg so I could get sleep and not fail.

I think our expectations for kids are just… not realistic? And I think that fuels a lot of the resentment for school.

So, middle school

before is the really important one

I’m with you, it’s so fucked. And every time we lose manufacturing, we lose everything else. Engineering, sourcing, quality, follows manufacturing.

Ya because the tarriffs mean that a device already sold LOSES money to fulfil. Medical devices already don’t have great margins…

I don’t think they’ve used X-ray scanners on people in a long time?

Pretty certain they’re all microwave backscatter scanners.
