They mentioned 'airborne' but how do they distinguish plasticizers introduced by airborne particles and plasticizers introduced by showering or washing hands and rubbing detergents on the wristband for example?

It's a funny example but to be fair to the British that also happens in other Germanic languages and it also happens a hell of a lot more in Romance languages.
Nordic and Central Europe cultures value 'straight talk' and saying what you will do, and doing what you say you will do. Generally when you ask for feedback you are expected to have a thick skin when professors/experts review your work.
I am not excusing abuse but I am pointing out that it is misguided to look at one work culture through the lens of another.
From memory Ireland and the Netherlands are also the biggest contributors to EU funding. So I am wondering how this shift would affect EU dynamics as a whole?
> I developed this app for my own needs. Getting tired of SaaS app subscriptions and privacy concerns.
A blog entry text page shouldn't be this hard.
The fact that they are pushing S3 as "Linux Sleep" or "Legacy Sleep" and S0ix as "modern sleep" is absolutely not innocent from a marketing perspective.
We ought to reverse Uno this non-sense. Perhaps the Linux Foundation and all the distro development teams out there should start calling S3 _True_Sleep_™ in all their official communication.
As a counter point I have (in multiple industrialized countries) asked for DICOM files of my exams (following past injuries) to keep with me, since I changed countries a far bit. I always got confused shoulder shrugs from staff since there is never a "procedure" to safely share it outside their PACS.
At best I only got grubby screenshots in a pdf report, and only once I got a physical CD because I had a bit of small talk with the Radiography Technician directly.
I am not saying Germany is great but there is absolutely value in having physical offline storage of your data.
Pixel Qi was always one of those companies I thought should have succeeded but didn't.
This a decent walk through of their timeline in tech history:

Still today I would love to have a minimalist 'typewriter' laptop that I could work with just sitting outdoors in full sun.
Your bias is heavily US centric. HN is not SF or SV. Plenty of users in Serbia, Nigeria, Argentina, Brazil, Vietnam, in war thorn Ukraine.
Arguably the average user is above average for their area's COL but to claim everyone is swimming in VC money is as dilusion as the people you want to portrait in your comment.
Drone maybe but you underestimate the speed of a rocket.
Also computation power adds payload weight or makes your system dependent on a server side comms link.
I am not sure what the solution is but restricting these models away from open source usually just means denying access to the public, while bad actors will still find a way to use it or discover it (with just slightly more effort).
Is Pharma different than Engineering in terms of IP?
If my former employer has evidence that what I am working on in a new gig was discovered while on company time using company resources couldn't they sue?
I was surprised to find a few years back that the big consultancy companies actually have teams dedicate to advising companies on these applications and supporting documents. Helping them navigate the complexity.
If you need to pay consultancy companies to navigate the process then you just killed access to smaller companies and universities in less well off economies.
Do you have any numbers on US LNG sales?
The moment something like that grows or scales to a tipping where real estate funds take interest then it will naturally enshitify as most things in society that have been monetized by large scale investors.
I agree with everything you said but with the risk of gate keeping I worry that the only way co-living projects will work is by having a bunch of stubborn fun people starting it off and keeping it at a non-industrial scale.
Russia coordinating attacks on NATO territory is FAR more likely (read certain) considering recent activity:

Traditional media is doing EU citizens a disservice. This is state sponsored terrorism and we need to start calling a spade a spade.
If you analyze patterns in wheel angle and rate of change of angle over time, I would suspect that drvers who are texting/'looking down a screen' are going to have very distinct series of 'abrupt' correction patterns.
Where that telemetry is available in cars post 2010's then it should absolutely be used in forensics.
This kind of reminded of the sense of wonder of reading through Encarta entries in the late 90's and how I assumed the internet would look like in the future.
From a game theory stand point a billionaire won. Carve your name in history, you can choose to influence politics for the good, pour money into hard research problems in Healthcare, Environment, Energy. Go Genghis Khan and have a thousand children. They could do literally anything and yet choose to continue to increase value for shareholders and themselves, it seems illogical.
Who are the major players in industry grade solutions for this?
Tesla? BYD? Hitachi? Siemens?
".. When you let go of something you are holding too tightly, even though it's hurting you. When you let go of it, then you are able to pick up something else that is hopefully better for you."
Despite all the post-rationalization on the why's of medicine, it does feel like he is someone bouncing back from Burnout.
The risk being that he may fall into the opposite end of the pendulum swing. As the saying goes: "A ship in harbour is safe, but that is not what ships are built for."
In the end there is a balance to everything, I hope he finds his.
Urban design is a much more effective approach to saving lives (a large fraction of speeding deaths are pedestrians) with the bonus of giving large areas of the city back to pedestrians.
"Traffic calming" is a well established evidence based field. [0]
As a European what is the political situation to visit Baikonur? Is it just leased ground as a military base but Kazakhstan is sovereign? Or is it similar to an embassy ground and you are technically stepping into Russian Federation territory by visiting the launch site?
