To me the hospitalization rate is most important. * Overcrowded hospitals is what leads to large jumps in fatality rates. * It only lags the date of infection by about a week. * It also isn't subject to external factors like availabili

The active dose is nowhere near the lethal dose. It is however close to the dose where you could see some minor damage to the liver. It causes problems because people are addicted to opioid drugs that are typically combined with acetaminoph

Windy has cool graphics, but it's only forecasted winds and not very granular. If you want to see actual wind observations from satellites check out ASCAT here[0] or here[1] [0] https://manati.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/ascat

Any suggestions for a _quiet_ bean grinder that won't disrupt a small office with its noise?

Sea level rise has regional variation due to the gravitational pull of the melting ice. When polar ice melts, there is less gravity at the poles so equatorial regions see higher sea level rise. https://sealevel.nasa.gov/unde

This is nothing compared to the estimated $3.5 billion to redirect the tracks underground in San Diego. Coastal bluff failures are occurring within several feet of the tracks on a regular basis. I spend time at this beach and I don't k

A glaring omission from this article is mention of the surfer who died from a brain eating bacteria [0] after visiting the pool in Waco. The wave pool there is classified as a 'lake' so normal rules for chlorination and filtration

Try selecting "Verbatim" in the tools menu - it can really improve your google search on technical topics.

This looks a lot more sophisticated than currently operating satellite wind mapping, which uses radar deflection off water to estimate wind speed and direction. I hope they make data as easily available as noaa: https://manati.st

Or we could just get rid of daylight savings so we wouldn't have to complain anymore.

There is a major difference between Gatorade and Powerade, which is the type of sugar. Gatorade has glucose (aka dextrose, the same sugar as an IV bag) while Powerade has high fructose corn syrup. Glucose can be used directly by your cells

Those are relevant facts but they leave out immigrants who are leaving voluntarily. I couldn't find anything within the last 6 months but there was recently a net outflow of undocumented immigrants [0] http://www.politifact.

My observation is that teens are taking jobs that were previously done by undocumented immigrants who have left due to the current political climate. I expect immigration policy could be more closely correlated with young men's labor

What is the energy density of a flow battery like this? It's hard to imagine it is anywhere near gasoline or a lithium ion battery.

I'd really like something like this in podcast form. Summarize the best links and maybe invite some highly rated commenters on for discussion.

When you get a chromebook you can redeem an offer for 100gb free for 2 years. When your 2 years is up, files aren't deleted but you can't upload anything else until you're below the 15gb. Drive is always free up to 15gb.

California isn't an area where sea level will go down, ironically it will go down near Greenland and Antarctica due to less gravity from ice sheets. There are some nice maps towards the bottom of this article: http://onlinel

Interesting, your point makes sense. I agree with the author that the poems selected, and the questions about them, are awful. I also got a perfect score in a reading standardized test (ACT) many years ago but I had no idea how to answer th

The problem isn't that the author doesn't know the answers, it's that the test is looking for 1 correct answer . The point of reading and analyzing poetry is in the process and being able to explain your reasoning coherently

I'm surprised they ship with chromium, I have had a much better experience with firefox than Chrome on my low end laptop. Does chromium have a smaller memory footprint than Chrome?

You can take the technology part of the test here: http://www.oecd.org/skills/ESonline-assessment/ I have to admit I found it somewhat difficult, it's not surprising that most people performed poorly on it.

With large surf hitting the coast of California I thought it would be a good time to show my personal project. It is a visualization of wave buoy spectral and time series data, plus marine weather for surfers and boaters. Comments and sugge

Locals usually have a way to get rid of street vendors that is effective, so finding out what that is in your locality is a good idea. In Mexico, it's Hoy no (Not today) and it works pretty well.

I like this One feature I would like is the ability to plot multiple axes via bubble plots- categorical data could be shown with colors and quantitative data with circle size. That way I could sort out monitors by price, size and response
