That is different form of mercury, bonded with carbon, which is easily absorbed by body.

Your body now emits 5000 becquerels, which is around 70 becquerels per liter of your body. So that Fukushima radioactive water is only 2-3 times more radioactive than you. That is why 20 Bq/L limit proposed by the ODWAC does not make much sense.

Apple is not just charging for payment processing, you get access to the App Store marketplace with more than billion devices. With Stripe you only get payment processing.

Absolutely wrong

They will not, whole process from water to hydrogen to fuel cell to electricity is very inefficient. You only get 1/3 of input energy back (if you use 100kWh to make hydrogen, you get back from the fuel cell 35kWh)

Why are they redirecting it to duckduckgo.com, why not just use duck.com? Short and simple.

Maybe GPU prices will finally start to go down, especially after used 1080TIs flood the market

I would say your phone in your pocket is probably 100,000 times more powerfull than computer in Apollo 13.

Here is my take on it few years ago. I tried to make it more like magazine, and get article text and photo, and there is a section with only articles that reached top position. http://www.hnzine.com

Few years ago I created http://www.newswebreader.com (still functioning) website which is the web frontend for USENET. It has NNTP server in the background connected to other NNTP servers, and it displays groups, headers and posts similar to three pane Thunderbird. You can create an account and susbscribe groups, it remembers what messages you read.

Idea was in the end to make frontend to USENET that would look like Stack Overflow, with voting, and your replies would propagate back to USENET.

The human brain is particularly rich in cholesterol: around 25 percent of all body cholesterol is accounted for by the brain. Every cell and every structure in the brain and the rest of our nervous system needs cholesterol, not only to build itself but also to accomplish its many functions. The developing brain and eyes of the fetus and a newborn infant require large amounts of cholesterol. If the fetus doesn’t get enough cholesterol during development, the child may be born with a congenital abnormality called cyclopean eye.

Human breast milk provides a lot of cholesterol. Not only that, mother’s milk provides a specific enzyme to allow the baby’s digestive tract to absorb almost 100 percent of that cholesterol, because the developing brain and eyes of an infant require large amounts of it. Children deprived of cholesterol in infancy may end up with poor eyesight and brain function. Manufacturers of infant formulas are aware of this fact, but following the anti-cholesterol dogma, they produce formulas with virtually no cholesterol in them.

One of the most abundant materials in the brain and the rest of our nervous system is a fatty substance called myelin. Myelin coats every nerve cell and every nerve fiber like the insulating cover around electric wires. Apart from insulation, it provides nourishment and protection for every tiny structure in our brain and the rest of the nervous system. People who start losing their myelin develop a condition called multiple sclerosis. Well, 20 percent of myelin is cholesterol. If you start interfering with the body’s ability to produce cholesterol, you put the very structure of the brain and the rest of the nervous system under threat.

Now, think about statins

This completly focuses on finding the cure, but not much effort is spend on finding the cause.

Crude example, should we focus on finding cures for consequences of lead poisoning, instead removing the cause: lead in paint, cosmetics, fuels...

I do not understand why is anyone buying machines with pods. Expensive machine, expensive coffee, and creating garbage for each cup.

Is it so hard to put teaspoon of coffee in cup and pour hot water?

Cheaper Tesla car might be announced in early 2015, but it will not be available until Gigafactory starts making batteries. Battery cost is the main obstacle.

As a fun project, I have created web interface to Usenet with standard 3 panes like Thunderbird. It is free and without ads, has around 15,000 newsgroups, can be used without creating an account.

Mythbusters folded it 11 times, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRAEBbotuIE

This does not make any sense. They compare real data with made up data 80 years in the future.

Why they did not show 1950<->2012 comparison?

Yeah, if I want to call UK number from my home network it will cost me 0.85€, and if I call the same number while roaming, it will cost me 0.30€ :-)

After reading day 2 and day 3, it started to sound fake

3 people died in uranium mines in the last 10 years

So that is 3 vs. 60,000 deaths for mining

Here is one in Zagreb, Croatia. Scale is 1:680,000,000. Sun is in the center of the town, and it is 2m in diameter.
