Yep. External radiation exposure is a topic, but is used as a decoy to camouflage the much more serious and very hard to quantify internal exposures from ingested and inhaled particles, which will simply kill you on the long run.
>>174 got enough of a dose to increase their chances of dying after developing cancer Wrong. 174 were shown to have external rad doses in that range. ( with some dosimeters shielded in special lead cases....) No serious quantification has been done on inhaled, ingested particles, because, nah, that does not happen.
Nuclear power may be good for the current two generations. For the next 20000 generations of human beings, it will be a nightmare. All things leak, diffuse and mix with each other. That's the way entropy works.
That's true, the extreme power density at the expense of cost and efficiency is kind of a niche thing, especially more with active air cooling, and grid connection, there's no point in that strange combination, really.... But this is to be considered research! The advances in this field can be applied to more common segments....
>> Yea. Inches are kind of THE STANDARD for doing PCB layout worldwide. Not any more. Today, 80-90% of components are SMD, and SMD is metric. The odd 2,54 component is just destroying the harmony of the grid, but that's OK, the modern CAD packages handle this well. Yeah, sometimes I use 2,00mm headers instead of 2,54mm -> more compact, but a bit more exotic.

>>The only reason UL exists is to generate income for UL. Having been through several "certification" cycles on various products, it's very clear that they exist only to run a highly-organized shakedown. That's true. UL is ripping off companies. The US market often does not accept the lawful alternatives (NRTLs), and often you have to explain US law to a US customer. Strange. FYI, a UL certification from UL costs 2-3 times more than the exact same certification according to the exact same UL/ISO/IEC standards from any other NRTL.

There are only two options : Adapt or die. The time where you could serve bad sites full of crap video ads who serve malware to users is up. Adblock now doubles roughly every two years. That means you have 2-3 years to adapt, or you'll be dead in 4 years. Most of these users use responsible adblocking. Of course, the small ad companies must react a bit faster, and some have already made the switch.
I don't think so. There are rules for acceptable ads, which will not be blocked. for example : https://adblockplus.org/en/acc... There are ad companies and publishers who follow that rules. The other ones will die.

>> If 100% of the people have ads blocked, the site needs to find another way to monetize Bullshit. If 30-40% of users have adblockers, the ad networks will swich to an "acceptable ad" policy which respects users, and web sites will earn more with less ads.
Yeah, and we have the right to ignore them. We use that right:)) Besides, 99,99% of internet ad companies are malware distributing pools, and 2/3 of the "clicks" they register are fake clicks by their customers. So they better go die, and be replaced by a more respectful model. http://communities-dominate.bl...

You're dreaming.
Real world does not work like that.
Yep, but by putting basic idiot proof, you tackle the low hanging fruit 95% of errors. And that lacks in the Software industry.
