Comment on First-ever mRNA vaccine halts pancreatic cancer in its tracks in ~science
BeanBurrito Link ParentI knew about the fruit thing. Jobs was into that raw food diet nonsense ( hence the name of the company: "Apple" ).It's of note because Steve Jobs got pancreatic cancer, BUT they caught it early and it was actually a treatable type. And then he decided just eating fruit was better than following his doctors treatment advice.

Comment on Getting shorter and going hungrier: how children in the UK live today in ~health
BeanBurrito LinkThey are becoming shorter in height. More of them are going hungry than they were a few years ago. Recently, more have died each year than they did a few years ago. Increased poverty, more destitution and the effects of ongoing austerity are the clear culprits.

Comment on The hardest case for mercy: inside the effort to spare the Parkland school shooter [the death penalty] in ~life
BeanBurrito LinkHaving to live with what he did for the rest of his life, and in prison, might be worse than death penalty. Spinning it that way may get his life saved.Having to live with what he did for the rest of his life, and in prison, might be worse than death penalty. Spinning it that way may get his life saved.

They want to lay off people without the political and PR damage.
Some employees are genuinely remote and not inclined to move. Some employees love remote work and would rather look for a new position. -

BeanBurrito Link...The new electrochemical cell converts bicarbonate (from captured carbon) into formate, a potent green fuel.
...
However, this approach faces some challenges as well. “A significant roadblock is the need for pure carbon dioxide: pressurizing carbon dioxide can be highly energy intensive,” the researchers explained in a press release.
The researchers believe reactive carbon capture could be an apt alternative solution in this context.
“Enter reactive carbon capture, where carbon dioxide dissolved in alkaline solutions, like bicarbonate solutions, can be directly used to create formate ions without the losses associated with providing pure gas,” they highlighted.
This method eliminates the need for pure CO2 and simplifies the conversion process.
However, designing an electrochemical cell that can selectively produce formate ions from bicarbonate, while minimizing unwanted reactions, is a complex task.
Seriously.
I don't get some of the comments above yours. Where I work has 2 easy ways to do screen shares. It is a lot nicer than standing over someone trying to see what they are typing on their screen.
I've learned about new ( to me ) tools while remote, no peaking into cubes was required. :-)
I recently met someone in person who I worked with over video meetings for most of a year. It didn't feel like "meeting" her. It felt like getting together with someone I already knew.
