Humans are not an exception either, the latest studies show direct correlation between the colour of public lighting and tumour formation, e.g., in breast, prostate, and colorectal cancers [11]. In addition, overillumination implies a waste of energy, which, in turn, means unnecessary carbon emission (see for example [12] for method of using artificial light as a proxy for energy consumption). It is though not impossible to find and optimum between light requirements and minimal environmental impact, as we demonstrated in the areas of Zselic and Bükk starry sky parks in Hungary, where the whole lighting system of two settlements has been reconstructed in a pilot project based on a special new design of LED lamps [13]. To reliably measure light pollution, the knowledge on measurement techniques and the spectral monitoring of natural night sky is essential.
Re:Fastbook: Listen to Audiobooks Faster on Wednesday February 22, 2023 @08:59AM (#34895553)
The training basically involves actively listening to audiobooks at 1 setting faster than you’re comfortable for 10 mins — then clicking it back down and re-listening at your normal setting for the next 10 mins.
Re:Let's build a Chrome extension that steals everything on Wednesday February 22, 2023 @08:59AM (#34895548)
*steal

Yes, it can. Extensions asks for permission(s) just before you install them. Permission like tabs, read and change all your data.., etc. can enable the extension to monitor all your activities.

Here is a link to another answer to identify any such extension - [LINK] Try out fbSeen, though it requires above permission, you can look up its code here
