Sounds like someone trying to force the regulators hand.
You're probably right, but what they'll most likely achieve is airports acquiring their own drones to take down 'trespassing' ones.
I imagine the most effective way is airport drones shooting a net at a drone to take it down. If pop-culture has anything to say, they'll probably be named 'Spider-drones'.
Yeah, I've always wondered what problam Java was trying to solve. I know, it's supposed to be about write-once, run-anywhere. That's already a non-problem, when you have a compiler for each architecture your program needs to run on. Today, there's what, x86/x86-64, Qualcomm Snapdragons, and the Apple A, W, S-series? With how hard the Apple processors are locked down, that leaves two to need a compiler for.
This has already happened at a "smaller" scale. The acid rain from sulphur oxides (and to some degree, nitrous oxides) released by industry (especially pre-2000) is killing billions of trees worldwide.
It reacts with minerals in the soil, turning aluminium silicate (insoluble rock) into aluminium sulphate (and aluminium nitrites/nitrates), which is very soluble. The really thin root hairs on tree roots absorb the nutrients from the soil. Aluminium kills off the root hairs, starving the trees to death.
Schwarzwald (The Black Forest) was a beautiful, vast forest in Germany, and about half of it died. Much rock dust has been spread over it to replace the minerals, but it is many decades away from recovering.
The Chinese have historically had a different culture with regards to sharing information. To them, it makes much more sense to share your inventions publicly, than to patent them.
Although China has enacted patent and copyright laws similar to western countries within the last few decades, they are only sporadically being enforced, and violation of them is commonplace.
A radar is usually a transmitter on a rotating platform - it 'sweeps' its beam through a full circle every few seconds. The detector recieves an echo after the beam hits something, and registers the direction it came from, as well as the time it took for it to return. Half the time multiplied by light speed equals the distance of the object.
If this quantum radar is pulse-based, it needs to be sending out a lot, probably in the billions per second range, to be able to use it like a classic radar.
Also; if it works: Good bye no-FTL information transfer.
Epic is currently killing part of the Danish health care system. It was implemented in the two easternmost regions of the country, and the doctors there are quitting or retiring in droves, and the rest of the health care staff is coming down with stress. Recently, the medication module was found to give incorrect dosage, as it has to be corrected in two different places, not just one, for changes to actually make it to the label. This was found to be commonly occurring, and thousands of patients could easily have taken the wrong dose, and it's possible some patients died from wrong dosage - it's currently being investigated.
Many people have called for it to be scrapped, in favour of the functioning system we have in the rest of the country. Epic seems to have been advertised to the region leaders as a way to improve efficiency and cut costs, but it's proving to do the exact opposite.
To clarify, the "particularly cold, decades-long period" meant decades almost without summers where the trees grew, resulting in wood with very uniform (and high) density, due to nearly no 'summer-tree-rings' in the wood. Perhaps I should've made that a bit more clear. And yes, the industrial revolution in the 1800s definitely brought about easy access to better wood from northern climates, but decades-long periods without, or almost without summers, is a very rare occurrence.
I wish I could edit my post now, as I just saw the later videos. (I thought there was only one). There is definitely some form of carbon foam being created when subjected to extreme heat, but it seems to be protected by something else in the formula. I suspect a component to be common baking powder, as it has (some form of) sodiumphosphate. I do not see why phosphate would 'stick' to the carbon foam, but that would definitely protect it. There is also (commonly) starch in baking powder, which will produce carbon foam when heated with some desiccant mixed in. The desiccant could be magnesium oxide.
The daughter mentions some stages to put it together in, meaning there's some chemical reaction happening, that would not happen if mixed in the wrong order. As it is a paste, there's some fluid in it, probably not water. They mention glue of some sort, so this would contain some organic solvent.
I am not familiar with common 1970s glues, any suggestions?
The odd thing is, there's barely any smoke coming from it, so all reactions are either almost completely contained within the compound, or produce invisible gases, such as CO2.
Almost what I was thinking. Btw, carbon foam would oxidize and burn away over time.
Off the top of my head, it could be some sort of aerogel. I just don't know of any, that are stable at high temperatures. Maybe a wolfram/tungsten oxide aerogel?
If the structure has voids inside, that are just slightly too small to contain an air molecule, it would certainly have extremely low heat conductivity.
Otherwise, what oxides would be relatively 'common', or not un-common, in 1970s garbage? Titanium oxide? Perhaps a mixed silicon-titanium oxide?
I remember seeing an article, possibly this year, suggesting that the wood for the Stradivarius violins originated from trees that grew during a particularly cold, decades-long period. The wood was therefore more dense, with better acoustical properties.
With dense wood readily available everywhere for such purposes for many decades now, it's no surprise that newer violins are superior (and the Stradivariuses may have deteriorated in various ways), but for a very long time, it's quite possible those violins were the best you could make, at the time, and for centuries after, without knowledge of what they were made from, and access to extremely dense (maple) wood.
The Wikipedia page about them https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... also supports this: "In 2008, researchers from the Leiden University Medical Center in the Netherlands, announced further evidence that wood density caused the claimed high quality of these instruments. After examining the violins with X-rays, the researchers found that these violins all have extremely consistent density, with relatively low variation in the apparent growth patterns of the trees that produced this wood.[12]
Yet another possible explanation is that the wood was sourced from the forests of northern Croatia.[53] This maple wood is known for its extreme density resulting from the slow growth caused by harsh Croatian winters. Croatian wood was traded by Venetian merchants of the era, and is still used today by local luthiers and craftsfolk for musical instruments."
The wikipedia page also mentions various wood treatments as being possibly significant, as the wood contains higher amounts of notably copper and aluminium than newer violins, but I think that goes a bit too far to discuss here.
Skinner had a postdoc from Taiwan named Chang handle the vinclozolin research alone, and he seemingly just made up some results. It was later discovered, and the paper retracted. The research was redone, and the paper republished.
Quote from page: "While the specific epigenetic marks found to be transmitted in the retracted paper turned out to be incorrect, the transgenerational effects of vinclozolin exposure are still well documented in other animal studies. "The retraction of this paper in no way contradicts this original observation," he said. "The worse impact it could have is that people will conclude that the whole field is dirty." "In hindsight, I don't think we could have seen anything," Skinner said. Because it's fairly common to have only one person handling the raw data that's generated in extensive, large-scale experiments, fabrication and falsification of this kind probably often go undetected. "Principal investigators need to be very cognizant of the raw data and the processes by which the raw data was obtained," agreed Grimes. To this end, Skinner has hired permanent bioinformatics personnel to assist the lab members in reviewing complex datasets. "I never before even thought twice about having data analyzed by multiple people to confirm the data is present," he said. "Now I require that two individuals completely go through every piece of data before we publish it.""

I strongly suspect, that after his term is over, he'll be considered the worst president of the United States, ever.
A few hillbillies may disagree, but for an overwhelming majority of US citizens, I think that'll be his legacy.
Kinda sets the bar a bit lower for future presidents. They'll be thinking: "At least I can never mess up as bad as Trump did".
If there was an easy way to capture it, sure, but it's 70 parts per billion.
Not exactly what you'd call a 'high concentration', except for human and animal respirational organs.
Also, 'capture' of ozone usually means having it react with something, but then it's no longer ozone.
But, having some kind of air cleaning effort going would be good.
Perhaps Wisconsin should require Foxconn to set up air cleaner units around inner city centers, if they want to build a factory.
I know I saw a story once about a city that had such units put up, and air quality improved by quite a bit.
If you're the producer of an implant, would you rather want said implant, which manages some of a patient's muscles, when affected by nearby lightning strikes or defibrillator, to
A) malfunction
or
B) shut down
A could be potentially cause accidents, and in turn, lawsuits.
B might an annoyance to a patient, when they have to go have it reactivated.
When I upgraded to 300Mbit service here, it was only available if I also got cable TV along with it. It gets better. They wouldn't give it to me until I plugged in the set top box and went through its entire setup. Then, and only then, did I get 300Mbit service.

In Brazil our CIA just executed a plan to kick a progressive chief executive out of her position and put a far right one in it's place.
I like that you use "it's place", instead of "her place" :)
(although grammatically, it should've been "its").
I find it odd that this hasn't been mentioned in the comments already.

I wonder if the CoC was pushed through by Microsoft (secretly) having linux developers on their payroll.
There is no doubt MS wants to fragment the Linux community.
I also suspect the shift of Debian to systemd to having been (secretly) influenced by MS.

Nice - offers $10K reward, then probably only pays $500 when a serious vulnerability is found.
