I guess you didn't read very carefully. They found a marker that appears 5 years before a diagnosis and also part of the mechanism of smoking and other things causing lung cancer AND potentially how to interrupt it. That's a good bit more than simply finding a well known correlation.

Yea, although given the reactor lifespan is listed as 6+ years, I wonder how much corrosion will occur. Clearly, preventing any leakage is key to avoiding unpleasant results.

Not a bad idea, do it or all - coal, gas, solar, wind...

Yea, all it means it is producing more neutrons than is lost, so power increases as Moree fission reactions occur over time; a controlled process in nuclear reactors.

From Antares' website, this appears to be a non-refuelable low power (100KWe -1MWe for 6+ years) reactor. The fuel design is not a new concept, pebble bead reactor designs have been for a while, and China appears to be working on one as well. The fuel design does have some advantages, such as online refueling, the ability to withstand the heat generated by the fission reaction without cooling, and in some designs the ability to disperse the fuel to shutdown the reactor. One challenge for earlier designs was the use of helium as a heat transfer medium which was hard to top from leaking past pump seals, etc. This design uses sodium/N2 loops, avoiding issues with helium. From their website, it appears they do not plan to scale it for utility use but focus on markets for small portable power that are not as cost sensitive, such as portable power for military use.

I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.

Misserr Jimmy Carter interview

I did for the articles.

So who is liable if an underage user circumvents the check? Do platforms make checks so intrusive to try to make it hard to circumvent at the cost of privacy? Should developers location block places with such laws to avoid violating the law because a user is underage but circumvented the check?

Since Microsoft doesn't honor their license agreements, why should anyone else?

It's not THAT unlikely that if you have Porsche money, you can afford to get 3 phase service in your home.

just tell them you just sent a text and what is the response code? I text you duck, you respond with airplane or else I know it isn’t you so even if they get the code they don’t know the appropriate response. Or “Pearl Harbor” must elicit Germans.

No doubt, but you need not be one to buy the tools; but like I said I doubt most of the small fixit shops can afford the suite of tools they may need to repair iPhones or iPads. They may be able to if th emajority of teh tools are not model specific, I guess sit would depend on teh volume of repairs and how much easier it makes doing them.

From what I can tell, Apple will currently sell their expensive tools to anyone, as well as rent them. Getting th tools needed to compete with Apple using genuine parts and tools would be a sizable investment and thus most shops are unlikely to be able to afford such an investment. I suspect shops that can are generally already Apple Authorized Resellers, so in the ned Right to Repair doesn't mean I Can Cheaply and Easily Fix My Device.

Given the ambiguity in the rules, it’s possible many Apple laptops already comply in that an end use can open the device and swap the battery, although it is not easy. The commercially available tools could be interpreted as long as the manufacturer offers for sale to anyone tools need to do the repair, they are commercially available and meet the letter of the law. I suspect, for most end users, the cost and difficulty will mean they forgo the DIY repair. A 3rd party shop might be able to afford investing in tools since the cost would be amortized over multiple uses.
