Lots of international manufacturers skip model numbers 4 and 9 because of Asian superstitions. Silly, yes, but they affect sales and even birth rates.

At least in Japanese, 4 sounds like “death” and 9 sounds like “suffering”.

You’re just improvising bullshit now…

Unpopular opinion, but the judge was right. There would be zero benefit to society to reward this absolute cybersquatter. There’s an almost zero benefit to reward a corporation. Both bad, but the corporation should get it in this case.

Abstract:

Since 2006, type 1 diabetes in Finland has plateaued and then decreased after the authorities’ decision to fortify dietary milk products with cholecalciferol. The role of vitamin D in innate and adaptive immunity is critical. A statistical error in the estimation of the recom- mended dietary allowance (RDA) for vitamin D was recently discovered; in a correct analysis of the data used by the Institute of Medi- cine, it was found that 8895 IU/d was needed for 97.5% of individuals to achieve values ≥50 nmol/L. Another study confirmed that 6201 IU/d was needed to achieve 75 nmol/L and 9122 IU/d was needed to reach 100 nmol/L. The largest meta-analysis ever conduct- ed of studies published between 1966 and 2013 showed that 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels <75 nmol/L may be too low for safety and associated with higher all-cause mortality, demolishing the previously presumed U-shape curve of mortality associated with vitamin D levels. Since all-disease mortality is reduced to 1.0 with serum vitamin D levels ≥100 nmol/L, we call public health authorities to consider designating as the RDA at least three-fourths of the levels proposed by the Endocrine Society Expert Committee as safe up- per tolerable daily intake doses. This could lead to a recommendation of 1000 IU for children <1 year on enriched formula and 1500 IU for breastfed children older than 6 months, 3000 IU for children >1 year of age, and around 8000 IU for young adults and thereaf- ter. Actions are urgently needed to protect the global population from vitamin D deficiency.

Yes, and the highest point in this route was 230m above sea level, requiring 22.8x the uphill ‘push’ that atmosphere could provide.

But even if the highest point was below 10m and friction was not an issue, you would need hundreds of kilometers of perfectly airtight ‘vacuumed’ pipes. If air leaks into the pipes somewhere along their length, the flow stops.

This is kinda amazing. The AI only got wrong the part about “transmitted” being crossed out. That was just a splotch of ink on the page. Otherwise… unbelievably impressive.

Completely off-topic, but is anyone else getting flickering lines when the noisier part of one of the Samples images is on screen?

I think my phone is dying.

Damn. We’re already at almost 10000 qubits with a sustained exponential growth. Ten more years seems about right.

RSA-2048: ~4096 logical qubits, 20-30 million physical qubits

256-bit ECC: ~2330 logical qubits, 12-15 million physical qubits

RSA-3072: ~6000 logical qubits, 30-40 million physical qubits

He meant “lost it” as in outran a pursuer? (I thought lost it as in “the thing is broken” at first).

Yup, that should also keep the greens safe a while longer!

Oh, paper towels, what can’t you do?

I did a Google search and the recommendation is to put the paper towel over the mouth of the recipient the greens are in, or just shoved in the bag with them if that’s where they are.

OP seems to be mass-copying LPTs from someredditwhere or something.

This is the best description. Your gif embedded for visibility:

I see… TIL, thanks.

You mean because Twitter is an SMS-based messaging app?.. The character limits are arbitrary, not a technical limitation. Which is why they doubled them at one point, I believe.

The limits were meant to act as a micro-blogging enforcement measure, for micro attention spans.

That looks like erbium oxide. You can eat it. Try not to binge though.

I don’t think it’s propaganda. The music and the ads too are just trying to do a “fellow kids” move, and that’s what they’re seeing. Because that’s what we’ve become.

It’s like seeing a mirror and getting spooked by how disheveled the person in it looks.

Off the top of your head, name a VPN company.
