My guess: nutrition is probably like physics, we know a hell of a lot but just not everything.
My dream is one day we will reverse engineer the human body completely, no more mysteries with the ability to recreate any part of it seamlessly if it ages or is injured.
It's got very pretty pictures, so that's very understandable! Have you been able to find out if he understands any of the abstract concepts that are explained, or is he mostly interested in the character interactions?
I think there are alternatives to coming together in person than forcing everyone into an office, which if done with enough enthusiasm would be more productive and enjoyable for everyone.
Teams might be better having mandatory lunches once in awhile at a nice restaurant instead having mandatory onsite office time. Better the team’s performance, the better the restaurant.
Think about the money that having an office costs, and then think about how it could be better spent on team based experiences and growth activities.
Not sure if it is related but it is usually one of the first to get or be trialing new features. I believe a few global services are run out of us-east-1 as well.
Anyone know why they didn’t just keep it around, surely having a few old batteries and a bit more shielding around the ISS might have come in handy?
Was it risky to keep them around or did the extra weight (even in a basically weightless environment) come at a cost to maintaining orbit?
The ISS has to regularly perform station keeping, i.e. it has to expand fuel to raise its continuously decaying orbit. Any additional weight would increase the fuel required for this.
I would have thought that the main reason people ‘shoot to kill’ is in self protection, if more autonomy is introduced then surely lethal force would be required in less situations.
It is also telling that Egypt allows no traffic over the border while Israel typically allow tens of semi trailers a day of food an humanitarian aid as long as they can ensure weapons aren't smuggled in.
> The Palestinians agreed that all imports of goods are diverted to the Kerem Shalom border crossing, because Israel threatened to exclude Gaza from the customs union out of concern about the implementation of the Paris Protocol.
> Israel tightly limits the flow of concrete, cement, iron bars and other materials into Gaza, as “dual use” items that could have a military purpose if they were seized by Hamas to rebuild tunnels used to launch attacks.
> That means few homes have been rebuilt despite international pledges of billions for reconstruction. Rather than wait to rebuild permanent homes, some relief agencies have decided to build temporary structures with materials they can get.
> The adverse effect of dual-use restrictions is mostly felt in manufacturing, ICT and agriculture. The agriculture sector contributes significantly to Palestinian food security; however, the dual use restrictions have lowered the concentration of active chemicals in fertilizers making them less effective and lowering land productivity to half of that in Jordan and only 43 percent of the yield in Israel.
> For example, the restriction on ‘communications equipment, communications supporting equipment, equipment containing communication functions’, limits access to modern manufacturing production lines, spare parts, medical equipment and home appliances. It has also stood in the way of developing the Palestinian ICT sector and created a large technological gap with neighboring countries.
Everything's dual-use, then, including basic necessities.
Food - could be used to feed combatants!
Medicine - could be used to treat combatants!
Consider the possibility that "you're not allowed to build houses for your families because we won't let the materials in" potentially inflames more terrorism than it stops.
edit: Regarding your edit, "Edit: Basic necessities to sustain life - food, water, medicines are allowed."
Shelter is considered one of the basic necessities.
> If you had a bad neighbor, you would do the same.
If I had a bad neighbor, and I walled them in and forbade them from buying concrete and fertilizer, the police would likely intervene in their favor.
“Fully slept....” That’s the dream. My daughter will try to open up my eye lids whilst I’m asleep and then start yelling “it’s morning time” at the top of her lungs. She has done this before at 4am and now I jolt awake at the sound of her entering our bedroom. Sadly it has been very effective at waking me up, and it’s hard to train her out of it when it works so well. To be honest I think I’m also sort of hard impressed by the brutality of it all.
