Exactly that! When I was living on the street, we used to call the fire "stoneage-tv". Because the human brains have such a long history of staring "into" the fire, I have the mild suspicion, that reading on e-ink displays without a backlight might make it less likely to get lost in thoughts, than when staring on a "glowing" screen. Unfortunately the only competetive screens are still rather expensive (paperlike)..

..damn, I got lost in offtopic thoughts again! ; )

I think it means workers who, for example, climb on industrial chimneys for maintenance.

That's not even far fetched, the ever expanding possibilities of targeting individuals through the big data evolution, will clearly lead to some nightmare like this. My hope is that capitalism will be rendered obsolete through cultural and technological progress, before we arrive there. Stuff like this always reminds me on YTCracker's cyberpunk Album "Introducing Neals"

"...big data and your love live after this..."

Not a native speaker, I don't understand the meaning of "filled up urns for meeting rooms"?
>This is discussed in the article; the de Broglie-Bohm interpretation relies on a global pilot wave, which has non-locality issues that pilot wave theory hoped to avoid.

Isn't it the other way round? Pilot-Wave theory having issues with non-locality that de Broglie-Bohm hoped to avoid?

The first link I found was this:

It seems to be plausible, that by adapting a healthy diet, at least the risk can be lowered and the onset delayed.

But my impression is, that a lot of factors, like poison from the environment (not only food and water, but also through the air) in combination with deseases, allergies and maybe medications etc, come together with genetic preconditions.
