Nothing about solar cycles, or sun position, and other seasonal factors relating to fetal development. An old topic, covered in better detail in a plethora of past research articles. Might be more revealing to read about seasonal differences between children born in south vs north hemispheres.

Frightening. Maybe they are planning to strangle hold us with advertising or a pay model for public channels. I doubt they've made great inroads with their 50USD monthly network programming service.

Could be we will need a congressional act to make a PBS equivalent of youtube in the future.

Maybe try the Smart YouTube TV app?

I seem to have cured a problem like that in my 20's. With a back inversion machine and twice weekly about 10 minutes only. After half a year, it never come back. Had the problem intermittently for about 3-4 years before. Very painful, stabbing pains in those areas.

Surprising article title from the nytimes; non-editorial content.

BTW - These acetate frame arms can usually be heated carefully with a torch, and bent to straighten them up. Thus making them much longer. Sometimes you can even rebend them farther back. Though straighter arms are somewhat more prone to fall from your face.

Is a well nourished elderly study body reflective of the population as a whole? I believe the body is sophisticated enough, that it can, in fact, crave the nutrients, even mineral and vitamin supplements that each individual body, age group, body type, is lacking. We have known for a long time about the bodies seeking out C vitamins particularly on the not too distant long cross sea oceanic voyages of our ancestors. I consider supplementation as dietary. I'm eating something. So those thinking in this light may as well take to banning or regulating the sell of oranges and grapefruit. Also why then are we still supplementing iodine and D vitamins, amongst a few others, if they are all so ineffective? What about gender studies where people seem to inherently seek out more commonly needed nutrients by gender? I do believe there could be some harm in certain nutrients. Study subject probably would quit taking certain combination of vitamins, given if they were not expected to do so, as part of the study. Bad research technique.

You can build generic powerwalls much cheaper. Just search youtube for build your own powerwall. Also, they make much more sense if your using the packs to power assist car engines, where they can payback within a 1-2 years. Of course, this, depending on your driving habits. For solar home system, I think using a bunch of the 250 watt micro inverters with built in grid tie circuits is a more practical system. Batteries are almost an unnecessary step unless your into the whole disaster prep scene. They can sync your panels to the 60hz grid and turn your meter backwards all without anyone having to be involved. Just a much less complicated system to implement and operate.

If it's really that important to be secure, I'd use an electronic password generator fob that intermixed the password list with a universal cosmic radio background radiation signal.

Perhaps he just gave you a one time use password. Or maybe not. I just know, if you want the password delivered in person, only ask for it, in person.

I'd probably rethink the whole system, and not the user.

My issues with the article. First, I didn't know enterprise systems fail so regularly. Really? Where? Who is having these failures so regularly? Secondly, I'm a bit surprised about the 'across the field' statements against relational database engines and the SQL layer. After all, there are so many different implementations. They all work and function quite a bit differently in performance and design. This article sounds like someone who is selling books or perhaps the author is one of the many great corporate management seminar-tarians. A person selling specialized lectures designed to appeal to middle management held at opulent motel conference centers across the land. Oh, I can't wait to get my hands on those croissants and fresh coffee. I'm going to be so smart now.

Consumer audio has seemed to have lagged behind other technologies by seemingly 20 years. Why? It's a great question. I had once thought self powered speakers would take over audio, but never seems to happen. Look at all of the TV's being sold with terrible audio built in. We still seem to be dickering about with consumer love for the 3.5 mechanical audio jack. There are some really cool t-class amps on ebay with Bluetooth. Perhaps combined with an hdmi surround audio extractor, also on ebay, you could custom build something to your needs. You might have a hard time syncing all of the separate audio channels with Bluetooth though.

Paywall, perhaps ironic. Don't know, I couldn't read it.

Well what kind of project are you trying to work on?

Sometimes we unknowingly build a mental block and self-resistance against working on projects that are too broad, too complicated, or even things that are just not interesting enough for our internal psyche.

For technical work, you have to focus of on your focus. I won't drive anywhere at anytime. For me, a single drive wrecks my concentration for the whole day. Also, stay out of phone use, the internet, and shopping. Stay out of mind numbing meetings and discussion groups. Diet wise, I could recommend simple things like apples, nuts, cookies, coffee and tea. As much as you would like. I could get the complicated stuff out of the way in 3-4 weeks locked in a closet with lots of privacy and bad personal hygiene practices.

The frills, database, and front-end stuff can be far more enjoyable and leisurely. You can even do those things at a coffee shop. I would considered that kind of programming as a psychological reward for doing the hard stuff.

Also, I'd investigate regulating your sugar levels through diet. That can certainly cause brain fog. People who turn to soft drinks for that quick fix, mental lift ultimately wind up in with bad focus and poor health.

I often think of the Raspberry PI as the modern equivalent to the c64. Affordable, powerful, educational. It would be great to develop a specialized Raspberry PI BASIC in tribute to Blitz or QBASIC.
