We’ve basically had this scenario unfold in the Netherlands during the last ~15 years. It lead to energy companies charging customers for sending their excess electricity to the grid for some reason.

In the Netherlands: blue collar mostly 7:30 - 16:00, white collar half an hour or an hour later.

The headlines suggest tooth regrow will be available in a few years. And it might, if you’re an infant who’s missing a tooth under specific circumstances. Also, in this case the scientist is hinting at more than he can deliver right now (based on the research), and he conveniently has co-founded a company to develop this drug. Let’s just say I hope to be proven wrong, I could use three new teeth since I lost the previous ones 35 years ago.

Great article that source, and it seems to agree with me ( I know…)

There is a version of this story circulating in popular media that frames it simply as a drug that grows back the teeth you lost as an adult. That framing is exciting but premature, and it is worth being precise about what the current trial is and is not. The Phase I trial is a safety study, not an efficacy trial. Its participants are healthy adult men missing at least one molar. The trial’s primary purpose is to determine whether the drug causes any adverse effects at human doses, not yet to demonstrate that a new tooth has grown in its place. The timeline for broader clinical use reflects this reality. The development timeline includes Phase I safety trials through 2025, Phase II efficacy trials in children with congenital tooth loss through 2027, and Phase III large-scale trials through 2029. Researchers aim for general availability by 2030. And even when the drug eventually reaches the market, the initial patient population will be children born without teeth due to genetic conditions, not adults who need a molar replaced.

Six weeks each year.

I’ve read about this thing a few times over the last years. It seems all research is done in Japan, there’s a lot of fuss about it, but as far as I know it has never been proven to work if the tooth to be replaced is a permanent tooth. There is a lot of hype from the scientists “wo do believe it will work” kind of stuff.

“workers” is a disambiguous word in this context, as well as “management”. Source: the rest of the article.

If you really look into stuff like featherbedding, it seems (to me at least) that it’s just a propaganda word for populists. It would be easy to convince someone that others are making more money due to featherbedding, meanwhile never discussing the worth of the work this specific someone is doing. In reality, I’d estimate over 80% of all paid work done today is some kind of this so called featherbedding.

Gimp I’ve tried a lot, but didn’t get how it worked. Now using Krita (new pc and can’t be bothered to download cracked ps), and it kind of works like pre CS1 photoshop. Probably it works a lot better, but I’m set in my ways.

I worked in the production of activated carbon many years ago, and this title reads like the Elsevier titles I read back then like “Activated carbon from cow dung manure”. It’s just researchers looking for a novelty handle imo.

Yeah, I foresee a few quiet walks alone around the block in your future.

Ah, the old internet, when you’d get 25 MB of web space with your hosting account. At some point in time you could get a .tk domain for free, suddenly everyone had one. Plenty of the old pages didn’t even have css, but used HTML tables to format the site.

Why would a 20% reduction only lead to a 20% price increase? Pricing depends on what people are willing to pay for it. For example, if Rolex were to make 20% more watches, would they still be able to sell at the same price? And not just in the short run, but also in the long run? The market for Rolex would get over saturated, and prices would drop significantly more than 20%. (for Rolex it would be even worse, since they would lose clientele at the high end of the market).

That would work for ten minutes before some company has in their EULA that by agreeing, you hand over the copyright.

I remember the late 20th century, it wasn’t that bad, and certainly not that dangerous. /s

Rainbow high in the sky! Open Sesame

I communicate way more face to face than in another way. So if I read communicating, I’m not thinking of calling, emailing, letterwriting or anything not face to face.

Does that mean the rhetoric he spread and the potential for it to do harm are gone?

Nope, just stating he is dead today, since the OP seemed unaware. About Rowling; no I don’t think so. But it could well be that decades after her dying people will have forgot about her world views, and the books will be in fashion again. This is assuming the books are worth reading, which I hear they’re not.

He’s dead today…

It’s kind of stupid, on the one hand they’ll pay you for the energy, on the other hand you have to pay for the grid load. Depending on your supplier and contract you could get a net price of 1 cent per kWh or more.
