To put it in perspective, the surface of the sun is 5,500 degrees C (~10,000F). Hot lava is up to 1,200 C (2,190 F). My guess is this might be useful for a nuclear fusion reactor.

It's actually quite fascinating that the cannabanoid acids seem to have a positive effect on COVID. The article doesn't talk about what levels would be therapeutic in the body. If it ends up that the levels needed would be quite high (i.e., much higher than most marijuana users are normally exposed to) in order to actually work, then they would need to determine if the high levels don't actually harm people with side effects. I would really be interested in seeing how this plays out, but my guess is that we won't see a medical application for years, if ever.

Not trying to troll here. I honestly don't understand the point of Cryptocurrency beyond it being rather neat from a technological perspective. It seems that basically one is buying a number. If it were supposed to be the foundation of a new class of online transactions, and was essentially a proxy for "real money," I think I would understand. However, I only see it being talked about in terms of investments, and that seems very odd to me.

I understand what you are saying but I don't think your definition of infection ("virus enters the body") is the proper one in this context. I would classify an "infection" as a case when the derivative of the population of viruses with respect to time has a significant positive value. That is, the virus doesn't just enter your body, but gets a chance to become entrenched. Now for most people with antibodies developed for a virus, the virus may enter, but is quickly destroyed and doesn't get a chance to become entrenched. Thus, even though the virus has entered the body, it isn't considered an "infection." If there are breakthrough infections in vaccinated people, they tend not to be as bad because while it did get a chance to become entrenched, it didn't have that initial time of zero defenses to increase it's population and really mess up the body. The body has to respond in these cases and produce more antibodies and T-Cells but because it had a head start, the population of viruses are destroyed relatively quickly before massive damage could happen. I'm not a doctor.. this is just how I interpret it.

So basically the Armed forces have to buy (and maintain) roughly 9 fighters for every 8 they need to have ready for combat, increasing the cost of this program another 15%.

almost a quarter of a billion dollar fine.... how much $$ were they generating? I wonder if they still turned a healthy profit even after that big a fine.

Atari is a company that bought the name and is trying all sorts of stuff to capitalize on it... including but not limited to the unreleased Atari Watches and the as of yet unreleased Atari Box/VCS.

I really liked Google+. It was a great place if you wanted to share your hobby work. Trying to move on to MeWe now.

I am shocked that a paper got published in Nature with faulty uncertainty analysis.

So you drive down the street and your home gets a letter saying you were driving down a street with prostitutes. So... why don't they just close the street?

I haven't read their constitution.

My content sent over VPNs is original work encrypted to protect it against those not authorized to have a copy. It is thus covered by copyright law. The NSA is circumventing encryption to obtain illegal access to copyright work.

There have been BIOS destroying viruses before. Now the NSA is in the antivirus business? And by doing so, they save the U.S. economy? Even Norton and McAfee don't make this claim.

It's a 3 ton low speed aircraft crashing into an armored cruiser by definition designed to be shot at with things like shells and missiles and bombs and torpedoes. Surpising.
