I'm running hister locally, I see in the MCP docs that a third party can query the server, but is there a way to import data as well? I find that I often do research using pi, and would love to save the context to hister to query late

I did some more research, and it looks like tires are the 2nd largest part of the pie in terms of single origin. The largest is textiles which are 35%.

The AirGradient uses the D1 wemos as the microcontroller & network connectivity. There are D1 ethernet shields that have PoE that would make it pretty easy to slap on top of the d1 and provide this exact feature, however you might need

I've read that the majority of microplastics come from tire wear (national geographic quoted 28% of the total), and because there's no good alternative to wheel tires, it's unlikely we'll see a decrease of pollution here

Do you know what happens to explosives on sunk ships generally? Are they usually left at the bottom of the ocean, and could they have the potential to detonate?

Still better than electrical resistive heating (space heaters) which has a COP of 1. Even when it's super cold outside, heat pumps with a HPSF around 10 would still have a COP around 2. See the graph: https://www.researchg

Sadly most popular window a/c units don't have true heat pump abilities. Usually the heating portion of window units use resistive heating.

Why would it be the fault of hospitals? They have no incentive to construct more ICUs. A large percentage of covid patients entering the ICU for ventilation will die, and you can't collect on a dead patient. ICUs are a money hole --

Nurses working in the ICU during the beginning of the pandemic would use the same mask for an entire week without losing efficacy. If the masks didn't work, we would have seen a huge number of them infected in the NYC hospitals but th

you can reuse n95s, nurses do it all the time. let them sit near a sunny window, off-smells will dissipate in a day. each mask is good for around 8 hours of continuous usage, but it's likely that the mask becomes too soiled before th

Once we figure out how to repair the tooth enamel properly, there will be no need for fluoride in dental care. We're still relying on epoxies & other glues.

With such a small amount in tap water, it seems like it would be hard to conduct a controlled study.

Yes, it seemed like it worked in hamsters, but as we well know, most drugs that work in mice don't work in humans. Besides, we already have many anti-inflammatory drugs that can reduce the cytokines, so it's a stretch to use iver

Dr. Pierre Kory was one of the main dudes promoting ivermectin -- he references the meta-analysis study on ivermectin that was later redacted. Of course when this interview was released (june 22), the study was not yet redacted (july 14) s

Many things are effective against covid-19 in-vitro. When it was administered in hamsters, there was no effect on viral load. https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.11.21.392639v1

Has anyone done analysis on microplastics to figure out what percentage are from vulcanized rubber? It's probably a high percentage, but would be nice to have an actual scientific study on the figure.

It's still lower than the peak of 3300 (7-day average) during the winter season, and that's when we had 250k cases daily. We're almost at 150k daily cases, but with only 1k daily deaths. At least based purely on numbers, th

It's not easy to get acquired by a FANG, but if you're okay with acqui-hire terms of most companies, you'll eventually get acquisition requests if the startup gets a little bit of press or has some traction. I've person

Most weed have low amounts of CBD, so not sure if your anecdotal story would fit here.

Seems safe enough to test on humans even if it's not effective. Did the paper mention the dosage required? There must be test subjects out in the wild that regularly consume high quantities of CBD.

Microplastics don't only come from plastics that touch your food. When you turn on your kitchen faucet to make chicken broth, plastic is coming from your faucet. If you eat fish or chicken, the plastic is found in the meat. When you

Plants grown in hydroponic systems tend to have shorter roots because plants don't need to grow deep to acquire the same amount of water. If you ever looked at roots in soil, you may notice many roots branch off into very fine whisker
