Haven't they been saying this exact thing for at least 20 years now? Stem cell diabetes research seems to be the fusion power of biotech - continuously ten years away.

The question isn't whether we should replace filesystems, but rather if we should move core file system services *into* the filesystem. That is, should we embed all of the things that locate does into the filesystem? My answer would be "no" (I prefer single-task entities where possible), but making a filesystem "hook" wouldn't be bad (i.e., trigger X when a file is updated, where X might be an indexing operation). Perhaps we should standardize more metadata, where it is stored, and how it is accessed. There's nothing wrong with storing that *somewhere*. Whether it is the filesystem or elsewhere is a bit of an implementation detail.

Which CGM is that? I haven't heard anything about that for the Freestyle Libre 2 or the Dexcomm G6 - which seem to be the most popular. In the UK the CamAPS FX system is already licensed to run the hybrid loop system from a phone app, rather than from the pump.

There isn't really any proof that Waymo vehicles are driverless, only that the driver isn't in the vehicle. If you compare a dozen dubiously driverless vehicles to a million collecting data every moment and already doing a pretty good job at autonomy, which do you think will succeed?

The fact that the driver is not in the vehicle does not mean that there is no driver.

I believe that this was figured out in the amateur observer community before NASA confirmed it. I saw it go by in my twitter feed. Not sure I can find it now...

Linear Energy Transfer

It's not radioactive. When high-energy particles strike it, they break apart into lower-energy particles that are more harmful. So, you need enough shielding to catch the particles that break apart in the top layer of your shielding.

My wife and I teach a homeschool co-op, so we have had to do a lot of searching for low-cost solutions for mixed-mode classes. The same results would probably work well for less in corporate offices.

While radiation mostly results in transient errors, it can also cause latch-ups that blow a gate off of the die. For rad-hard equipment in space this is mitigated by silicon-on-insulator fabrication, so that you can't have a latch-up between the substrate and a silicon feature.

We could have REAL ZOMBIES! YEAH!

I hear you. Going to be an interesting future, if we live.

Someone who broke their neck and was suffering from paralysis. You can control a chair or exoskeleton. People who can not hear today have cochlear implants, this is not all that different and might (eventually) work better. Or speak, or see. Other people who are disabled in various ways.

Take a gap year and do what? Join the unemployment queue along with how many million? Or don't take a flight anywhere because all of the borders are closed?
