Not to mention the redefinition of 5G, since full 4G was defined as up to 1 Gbps down and 5G was defined as over 1 Gbps.

Some Aussies looked into the reasons last year.

In order of magnitude, antivaccination attitudes were highest among those who

(a) were high in conspiratorial thinking
(b) were high in reactance
(c) reported high levels of disgust toward blood and needles
(d) had strong individualistic/hierarchical worldviews.

In contrast, demographic variables (including education) accounted for nonsignificant or trivial levels of variance.

The Psychological Roots of Anti-Vaccination Attitudes: A 24-Nation Investigation, Hornsey, M. J., Harris, E. A., & Fielding, K. S. Health Psychology (2018)

I don't know what you can do with that, but that's what's wrong with them: Conspriacy theorists who are bolshie, but not from any particular education level or demographic group.

The chip sets are shipping, phones are being engineered and built, carriers are buying spectrum space, vendors are starting to ship the equipment and the marketing blitz is already on.

It doesn't matter if you are ready or not, it's going to happen unless there is some huge unforeseen world/national event that makes it financially impossible. It's happening, like it or not.

Where is it happening? 4g networks only partially qualify for the 4g defintion right now. 4g networks are supposed to be 10Mb minimum (OK we hit that), 100Mb typical with speeds up to 1Gb. The best downloads per tomshardware are 85Mb which is not enough to meet the average 4g defintion. Verizon's average is 53.3, which is half the 4g definition.

No, you are incredibly amazingly almost stupidly wrong. The tight tolerances in concrete is so that it withstands radiation embrittlement that destroys mixes and even the steel reinforcement. This is especially so the containment dome, and can't be ignored for any nuclear power plants of any design. Even a pebble bed reactor requires a containment dome. Check these two papers here on concrete and here on the steel. If you are going to advocate construction of new nuclear power plants you should at least understand the problems faced during construction of old ones. That's a baseline for comparisons, and the larger economic arguments are demonstrated by higher startup costs and higher operating costs than every other alternative.

Which is why you don't want high pressure in a reactor. With low pressure designs (like MSRs), you don't have all that concrete, just steel and lead and far less of it because you contain a much smaller area. The reason containment vessels are so big is because they have to contain a steam explosion. MSRs don't have that problem.

If you want to reduce coal consumption, the best, most cost effective, and politically acceptable solution, is better ACs.

ACs are about as good as they can get right now, especially in developing countries. A 3 times cost of energy in per unit to cool is acceptable because a more efficient system costs 15x per unit more. Beyond that, it becomes a building/structure issue to retain the cold/resist heat. Problem though, much like we've found here in North America where there are huge and wild swings in temperature(-30C to +35C) for instance, the more you make a building air tight, the higher the chance that people develop respiratory issues, and in worst cases nasty crap like legionaries starts breeding in the HVAC system.

No they're not. They're giving up about 10-15% efficiency because they're using an inefficient refrigerant.

Yep. Banning Freon made all the world's AC units less efficient than they would be otherwise.

If global warming is truly a concern, we should be un-banning Freon.

Maybe you can use some strong rare-earth magnets to help it along?

This is highly unlikely to work. The problem? You think of the intestine as a linear tube from mouth to colon (then anus), but in reality there are many twists and turns in the intestine (which happens in real time - aka peristalsis). So for any placement of the magnet, you are just as likely to hang it up as to move it along - so doing this yourself won't help - and may actually be harmful if the magnet is strong enough and left in one area too long. That being said....someone has already thought of this. But if you look at the article, it looks like a pretty elaborate setup that likely only exists as a handful centers in the world as this would need to be done in real-time with imaging (looks like a mini CT scanner).

After 12 weeks, the likelihood of this passing on its own is virtually nil, so it will need some help. Double balloon enteroscopy (aka push enteroscopy) can be used if not too far in, and is performed at most university/academic medical centers. Other medical options are descried here. A more aggressive, but not maximally invasive choice would be to bring a surgeon into the mix to do a combination of double balloon enteroscopy and a laparoscopy or just plain old laparoscopy.

Best of luck.

Take a look at this:

Happy learning! ;-)

I think that the issue you mention is that so many women identify first as women, while most men identify as individuals. Wow - that's an impressive bit of stereotyping and victim-blaming rolled into a single sentence.

But I'm sure you have plenty of cherry-picked anecdotes to support your position.

Actually, I am not going to do anything but ask you to explain your accusations. Explain how a bit of psychological analysis is stereotyping. Explain how this is victim blaming.

Then I'll offer a few links of the literature by professionals.

Shaming tactics have pretty much stopped working. Try conversation.

Wow, your mad debating skills continue to blow me away: "I don't have subscriptions to the actual journals, so I'm just going to say the studies are irrelevant based on their titles."

If you had the slightest shred of intellectual curiosity, you'd quickly discover that the full text is freely available for all but the first paper, and abstracts are free available for all of them. I'll even do one for you to get you started:

Omar Hasan, E. John Orav, and LeRoi Hicks, “Insurance Status and Hospital Care for Myocardial Infarction, Stroke, and Pneumonia,” Journal of Hospital Medicine, Vol. 5, No. 8 (2010), pp. 452–459.

Abstract available here.
Full-text PDF available here.

Those were the first two hits from Googling the title. Pretty amazing stuff.

Happy reading.

>Since there isn't a mathematical definition of random generation

Yes there is. There are several. Here are 4: HILL, Yao, Unpredicatibility and Information Theoretic entropy:

No evidence? Do you even subscribe to scientific journals or just even use Google Scholar?

Both of those coming straight out of Universities. The first link is almost TWENTY FUCKING YEARS OLD.

I mean, it literally takes two seconds to type this shit into Google and find dozens of cited reports, and there are probably HUNDREDS more, many of them done by REAL RESEARCH INSTITUTIONS.

I can't speak for their reasoning, but Windows threads are definitely less portable (multiproc should leave less cross-platform stuff to wrangle). Also shared address space and environment between threads and the main program (might be appropriate from a security standpoint). It used to be that Windows threads did not scale (performance-wise) very well, though I don't know how much that has changed since this was published:
https://pdfs.semanticscholar.o...

If anyone has insight on Windows multithreading performance, I'm all ears, as this may be one of the bigger reasons.

It is possible to show specific events are important but that requires some specialized knowledge to understand. Plainly, you can do it using piecewise regression. There is significant autocorrelation since this is a time series, and as another post mentioned the mentioned seasonal effects are not disclosed here. They are however available if someone is interested enough in research. In this case my point is limited to modeling. Given a dummy variable keyed to the US election duration and conclusion it would actually be possible to determine the impact of particular events in time based on significant changes in the regression parameter estimates. See here for the general idea.

I've been waiting for a good opportunity to take this new toy out for a spin. Semantic Scholar claims to have brain science almost completely covered.

* author search

Not bad.

* topic search

Not blindingly great. But the third link down is a primary hit.

Theory of Connectivity: Nature and Nurture of Cell Assemblies and Cognitive Computation

There's not a lot of related material here that I'd have gone chasing after the hard way. Apparently, either this research result or this search engine is still too new.

Nevertheless, I retain high hopes.
