  • But all that running around and buzzing and living becomes low grade heat pretty rapidly

    While most of the heat from the cat food furnace will go up the chimney rather than into the room.

    I would expect the cat to be closer to 100% efficient than the furnace, unless it spends its time sitting on a window sill behind the curtain radiating towards infinity

  • There are computer based systems that evolve. The environment is simulated to direct the desired evolutionary direction, the thing is simulated and reproduces and mutates by rule

    For example antennas might live in a simulation where the EM waves of the right frequency are feed, with the most nourished antennae breeding to make many children and less nourished antennae having few children; over many generations an excellent high gain antenna with whatever other features were adaptive (size, shape, ...)

    I wouldn't call those alive though we use many life associated words to describe them.

    I personally would put the life line above viruses, Wikipedia needs to differentiate between viruses and cellular life.

    I feel like we will have computer viruses that mutate and evolve and those that can better spread, better avoid detection will thrive while those that cannot will be destroyed. When that happens will we call it life?

  • It doesn't seem plausible. After wiping your hands dry the bacteria either stayed on your hands or were transferred to the paper towel. I can't see a path to the air.

    Blasting your hands with air fast enough to blow off whole water drops and shatter them would put bacteria in the air.

    I presume that when testing their air driers they use a sterile room and thoroughly washed hands in hospital type soap so any bacteria went down the drain and only sterile water was blown into the air

  • Do you ever watch people wash their hands? Many wet them then dry them. A few rub a little soap around them. Nearly no one does the full hand wash method recommended by health organisations (where each finger is individually washed)

  • And they don't dry as well, and the air moves faster so whatever is living in the water drops on your hands (depending really on how thoroughly you wash your hands) gets flung further, spread better in the space

  • The person doing the analysis also takes a statistic about intimate partner rape including where the woman believes actual rape happened and where the woman felt like he might have tried to, then immediately casts it as actual rapes against strangers by serial street rapists.

    It's not in the least credible

  • I feel I'm not in that venn diagram, living in Australia hundreds of kilometres from the sea

    Though I have visited New York, and wasn't bitten there, and as a kid I lived near a beach and spent summer in the Pacific and haven't been bit by any sea animals either

  • You also get vitamin A (and the other fat soluble vitamins) from animal fats

  • The problem is coming up with a solution to give us the advances (Tesla successfully made electric cars desirable, inspiring other companies to make them too, before Musk went and showed everyone how shit he is; SpaceX are the cheapest launch provider) but prevents the person who owns the company from owning the wealth it produces, and inspires those people to try

    Neither Tesla nor SpaceX would exist either if Musk had not been able to take a large share of the sale of PayPal

    The obvious way is preventing them from passing ownership and assets to their children, so let one person be ultra wealthy but not their successors (to keep from owning companies, government could sell off whatever shares it acquired) but good luck getting that sort of law up with billions of dollars against you

  • LED was available in the early 2000s I have a few remaining LED lights from about 2001 (and definitely from before 2004) still working. They are much heavier than modern LED lights due to large finned heat sinks and didn't fit in my nicer light fittings. They weren't in supermarkets then, you had to look for them, I may have bought them online
