What I didn't like about the study is that they drew the conclusion that brain lesions are likely caused by radiation in males, although the results showed that 3W/kg GSM is more harmful than 6W/kg GSM and the 3W/kg CDMA group suffered no brain lesions although 1.5W/kg CDMA group had 2 cases. These counterintuitive results (and the very low nominal value of positives) mean we need much bigger sample sizes to draw conclusions.
The Schwann cell tumors in non-irradiated females (clamed to be non-susceptible) are as likely in as irradiated males (claimed to be susceptible).
Well, the announcement is mighty premature in my opinion, since it won't even be done until 2017.
Thousands? You could build the entire vehicle if your part count was thousands... 4 pistons, 8 rings, 4 conrods, 1 crank shaft, a couple of bearings and you have a 4 cylinder 2 stroke engine. If you then want to add in 1 slide, 1 butterfly valve, a pulley, cam, cable and float valve and you have your carb. For ignition, none of those parts move so those don't count. Cassette gearbox, lets assume your counting each gear independently - lets say 20 parts.
Build an engine and drivetrain with only 20 parts and get back with us. Challenge accepted?
Tesla recommends charging it to about 80% for daily use, and not running below 20%
And when I ask people about EVs they say it is as simple as plugging it in at night and drive it the next morning. Think you for educating me otherwise. I won't ever want a car I have to pamper.
Yes, because you just hop in and drive an ICE car, You never ever have to do anything. Those gauges? They are just there for obsessive comp[ulsive people In fact that one with the thermometer? Oil changes? When that light comes on it means another 100K miles. Brake fluid? Whats that?
Because in 2016 'Murrica, plugging something in overnight is just too damn hard.
Not sure if you are trolling, or +5 funny.
People who walk about with their noses in their screens will stand a much higher chance of dying like a bug on a windshield than from radiation.
This debate is getting as old as climate change and "does this belong in slashdot or not?"
Agree on the first point, but not so much on the second one. Reading the paper, I'm a little surprised by the preliminary results. But if it can be reproduced, they might be on to something.
I've always been a proponent of expecting no cancer relation from these things, because they aren't sending out ionizing radiation. That being said, these little devices put out RF, and you are using it in the near field, so unless cell phone RF is unlike any other form of RF, there will be some tissue effects.
Why are we doing things like this? They're a waste of time and money, which could be spent on things like curing HIV and cancer, ending world hunger, or finding a solution to global warming. Spaceflight solves none of these problems and is a complete waste of money. It's also a waste of talent because these scientists could be putting their effort into solving so many more important problems. Why go to space when we need to solve our problems here on Earth? I'll be censored to -1 because this is unpopular with Slashdot users, most of whom don't care about solving the real problems in the world.
Because we could put every available cent into solving the world's problems, and we'd end up broke, and still with all the world's problems.
Because there's no evidence that it is going to happen. I haven't seen any blog posts, announcements, or articles related to what you said.
Your assertion is a slippery slope. You are committing the logical fallacy, so the burden is on you.
I already explained myself two posts ago. it fits in well with what they have been doing lately. It isn'r saying they have done it - although they have in one instance.
TO put it as short as possible, a company that allows people that know people that you have allowed to access your wireless router, not necessarily people you know, is certainly capable of forcing a less batshit insane requirement on people.
All I'm saying is that it wouldn't be surprising in the least. No need for logical fallacies, and met the burden - not of proof because they aren't doing it at present, but I explained my rationale. Read better.
psssst - you forgot to add strawmand and the Chewbacca defense.
O.K. sad to say, I haven't been in my local McD's, ever.
No problem. I think what has happened to the HS students is related to the modern treatment of children, as well as more mature people dropping down the food chain, plus people who didn't plan well for retirement. Coupled with that is a marked tendency of older workers trying to stay in the workforce as long as possible is keeping other people from moving up, and younger people from getting jobs.
It's possible all of those things combine for some of these problems.
Because, yes, minimum wage should just be something for entry level workers. It's ending up otherwise.
Who is 'we'? The 'we' always wants a social/economic ladder where one can feel, I'm better than him/her. It's built into the human nature.
"We" are the people who say that American workers are overpaid. Given the wage stagnation since the 1970's, it would appear to be pretty much officially sanctioned, and you see a lot of that in here. Hell, I've been in the workplace long enough to know that the folks at the top tend to get new job titles with promotions at the same time as we're being told there isn't enough money to hand out raises. I saw a lot of that at my place. And when I got good raises, which I usually did, it was at someone eles's disadvantage.
And kinda disingenuous to deny that there are people trying to live on the wages.
Who is denying that? People try all kinds of things. I said what the minimum wage is supposed to be, not what people are trying to turn it into. It applies to the job position, not the person holding the job. If you're 45 and a father of ten, or a 17 year old earning gas money, you get paid the wage for the job you're doing. Being 45 and a father doesn't necessarily make you a more valuable employee to MacDonalds.
You figure they are only employing teenagers?
That you want to pretend that I said that tells me a lot about this discussion.
That you decide to make it some kind of pretense on my part and didn't even answer my other questions tells me a lot about your ability to discuss grown up talk.
So let's make the little bastards use Malbolge, will that suit you Ms Harel?
GIven that so many of us came up through the "Hello World" Basic route, it's a little difficult to imagine that making children do the less pleasant tasks or very hard ones is a good way to get more kids into coding.
She might be form Israel, but she has a distinctly Calvinist outlook on things.
I'd take the incorporated-ads if they'd undo the long span of terrible changes they've made to the service (particularly web, but also mobile) over the years. How is it that one of the most popular products of one of the world's largest corporations has such a mishmash
Once upon a time, I could map out routes in Google maps that wre not quicktaketheinterstate two choices.
Then this year I tried again. Holy hell - it simply does not work at all, unless you walk it through by splitting your trip into 5 or more trips.
The feedback has been universally and emphatically negative, as in "this friggin thing doesn't work any more". Almost worthless now. And now- just serving ads.
As paranoid as some slashdotters are, I'm surprised they use telephones at all. The underlying bedrock principle of the cellular system is tracking, as you zip along, the towers hand you off to other towers, and they keep logs. So you have the basis of a low resolution tracking system. After the pattern is revealed - gotchya!
Some of us don't use cellular phones for exactly this reason.
Don't think you are normal though. Cellular tracking is much more likely to vindicate you than implcate you. I can pretty much prove where I'm at at all times. Given that overzealous DA's are more worried about getting someoneanyone behind bars, I figure that I might as well use the system to my advantage. It's like my buying habits show where I'm at at a particular time. I track myself with Amateur radio aprs, and anyone in the world with a web connection can see exactly where I am at on the road. You can withdraw, or you can tilt the table in your favor.
Typical Slashdot, this bullshit gets modded Informative.
Yeah - shoulda been modded insightful. I hate to use why not examples, but I'll dv8 from that here.
What would be the rationale to not implement this in all Windows systems? They already have a keylogger, they already phone home to a multiplicity of locations that they don't allow you to host out, and they already thought it was a good idea to allow anyone that you allow on your home wireless to allow anyone in their social network to wirelessly log on to your router, even though you have no idea who they are.
It's just a simple forced update on all Windows systems, and a normal no choice update on anything running Windows 10.
Using their rather invasive paradigm at this time, you'd be a fool to bet against it.

It's more like comparing Apples to Tardigrades.
Tardigrades are freaking awesome! Kinda cute, and serious hardcore, can survive space conditions.
Now back to our regular story.
Seems simple give him his money back, in the exact same manner as lemon law returns from every vehicle manufacturer.
There are 150,000 cares ever year that are lemons http://www.nolo.com/legal-ency...
So what kind of idiot thinks that there will not be even 1 Tesla and that it is such a tragedy that it is front page news on Slashdot.
So good work, Spacex! Landing pencils is quite a trick, and yer doin' it.
People who walk about with their noses in their screens will stand a much higher chance of dying like a bug on a windshield than from radiation.

So my interest is keen in this study.
A more accurate headline would be "Cell Phone Links to Cancer Only Found in Shitty Studies".
What about the study is shitty? I read the whole thing and am curious why you say that.
Simple, none of those make anyone any money.
Or work.

Years as in like - years. You have to do a little research into who it is that you are blocking, because they aren't as open as Google.
I have some Enron Stock.
So allowing a shop to sell 70% of imported goods can be considered as not wanting imported goods. Right.
Every one of yinzers got it wrong. This problem will disappear once Apple gives the Indian Guvmint 30 percent of their gross.
Wouldn't it be interesting Apple staffed the stores with a mix of people speaking the Indian language with a strong southern or Boston accent?

These same arguments were made during the industrial revolution and yet prosperity has exploded since that time.
Speak to me of the exploding prosperity of American workers since around 1975.

For the same reason they allow you to have a blank password in Windows but not for Microsoft accounts.
Try again - explain why they won't do this, not why they are doing something that they might allow at the present time.
