Neither 0% nor 100% are dangerous, but lithium ion batteries wear out a lot faster if you cycle them all the way instead of only staying within 20-80%.
PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) is the standard procedure for duplicating DNA, which is a critical step to many different protocols, including COVID tests (real-time PCR) and DNA sequencing. This device is a miniaturized thermo cycler, which heats up and cools down a sample in a small test tube according to a pre-programmed sequence. Heating/cooling cycles are necessary for the enzymes involved in PCR to do their jobs.
There's nothing wrong with the appliance business model - embedded devices that use microcontrollers are Turing complete and yet no one complains about those. It's only when devices are marketed as general-purpose (i.e. smartphones, PCs) but are locked down to prevent running arbitrary user-loaded code that it becomes a problem.
I have some anti-china bias (personal background), but many times these Xinjiang articles only cite Zenz et al. I would really appreciate better investigative journalism on this front.
In my experience of running my own Nextcloud instance for over 4 years, I've never had an upgrade break my instance. Caveat: I'm on the stable channel and I only update when the client prompts me to update, which is a few point releases into a new release.
I'm going to educate you more right now - jet fuel is not explosive in the sense that you think it is. It's much less volatile than gasoline and is regularly dumped overboard in emergency situations with no fire risk. Modern jets can fly just fine with one engine shut off like in the OP. Provided that there is enough altitude, planes will glide their way to back a runway to land if both engines go out. The structure can take way more abuse than you think - see this picture of a 787 undergoing a wing structural test. http://blog.flightstory.net/wp-content/uploads/787-ultimate-...
I don't believe there is sufficient evidence for mass casualties, but the OP is arguing a different tack: they're saying that we have evidence for forced sterilization and targeted oppression of the Uyghur culture, which by their sources can be construed as genocide.
It will be a while before they get better images downlinked. The radio link is unbelievably slow by modern internet standards[0]. Note that the faster 2 Mbps link is only available when one of the orbiters is overhead (4-6 times/martian day[1]). They also have a lot of work to do checking out the rover systems making sure everything is healthy, etc.
They can't redistribute existing componentry because of competing requirements: during cruise, the spacecraft needs to be balanced around the rotational axis (perseverance rotates at 2RPM in cruise). During re-entry, an asymmetric weight distribution is needed to generate lift.
GeForce Now can be used with Steam quite seamlessly. In fact, GeForce Now's value is to play the games you already own on various platforms on their hardware. They're not trying to be another games store.
Low Earth Orbit (LEO) which the ISS is in is very different from deep space. You can get away with much less radiation hardening in LEO. For example, I know a company consumer-grade Xilinx MPSoCs with 4xA53 cores at 1.5GHz.
Sure, for the instruction set all the CPUs are required to be compatible. However, Apple seems to be going in the direction of having many many hardware accelerators builtin to their SoC and integrated into their software ecosystem. I assume that if Google and Amazon were to build their own chips, they'd do the same. Those accelerators will not be intercompatible, and we'll have a dozen different vendored drivers, like how GPUs work.
There are post-translational modifications to proteins. This means that for many (most?) proteins, the amino acid chain sequence is different from what you would predict from the DNA. These modifications are dependent on the state of the cell at the time of translation, and so cannot be predicted from the DNA alone. Even with a 100% accurate folding model, we cannot simply know the shapes of all the proteins inside the human body based on the genome.
