An oil rig that experienced an explosive decompression in 1983 that killed four divers and one dive tender, as well as badly injured another dive tender.

The divers were killed by a pressure of 9 atm. The pressure the Oceangate Titan experienced was over 400 atm.

I thought this was interesting, anyone using this? Is the juice worth the squeeze?

Re:Infant Temperament Extends Its Reach into Young Adulthood on Thursday January 19, 2023 @12:06PM (#34442701)
I found this paragraph really interesting:

"... Joel Nigg has found that excessively irritable infants are more likely to become children who cannot regulate their anger or impulses when frustrated, while excessively exuberant infants are more likely to become impulsive children. In both cases, the development of effortful control is inhibited. These findings have led Nigg to propose that ADHD is not a disorder of inattention or hyperactivity, but instead a disorder of temperament-based self-regulation"

This is the beginning of of the next generation of computing, amazing stuff.

"An increase of 10 dB reduces productivity by approximately 5%."

I'm surprised it isn't more. As someone who is particularly distracted by noise and interruptions, I usually have some music without lyrics playing in noise cancelling headphones whenever I'm in an open office environment.

The real question is when are companies going to pick up on research like this and make changes to maximize productivity. What do offices at FAANG look like?
