I am using the new pump with sensor and it provides only very limited feedback. It has a hard limit of 25 units bolus (old pump could do 40) which is very limited for me. When I finish my contract with Medtronic for sensors I'm going to experiment with this.
The only way to intercept messages will be at the endpoints, and autoritarian governments will have no power to block or filter.
The downside of course is it makes stuff like ransomware even easier.
And a few of those ignorant tribes practiced a form of religion that created a wonderful society that allowed Tom Weller to publish a snarky book and not be taken down to the beach and beheaded.
It's only when the religion lost power and ability to behead people that the age of enlightenment could begin. Galileo narrowly escaped torture and imprisonment for publishing heretical books suggesting the earth was not the centre of the universe. The church only lifted the ban on his books in the mid 18th century. Real reform only happened (like Quebec's quiet revolution) when the church was kicked to the curb.
Faith does not give you the answers, it just stops you asking the questions. - Frater Ravus
The way to see by faith is to shut the eye of reason. -Ben Franklin
Faith means not wanting to know what is true. - Friedrich Nietzsche
Faith is believing what you know ain't so. - Mark Twain
> Look at astrophysics. There's enough of it that's just untestable speculation passed off as fact. The Big Bang Theory is a superb example of this. It's treated as absolute and indisputable fact, yet it was never (and likely never will be) directly observed.
We can observe the red shift and 3K background radiation which is exactly what was predicted by the big bang theory.
It's like hearing a shot and finding a suspect holding a smoking pistol, standing over a corpse with a fresh bullet wound with a perfect ballistics match to the weapon he was holding, yet acquitting him because nobody actually saw him pull the trigger. I hope you never, ever serve on a jury.
If you think that example is ridiculous, the evidence for evolution is far more overwhelming. If you want to claim the earth is actually 6000 years old, you not only ignore overwhelming evidence from biology, you must refute geology, physics, and astronomy as well. We shouldn't even be able to see most of our own galaxy.
As for the story of an 800 year old Noah collecting every species of life on earth to put on his boat, even Santa Claus going down a billion chimneys a night is highly plausible by comparison.
I see increasing emphasis in the future on unconventional architectures to solve certain problems

and a little further into the future, single molecule switches and gates.

We have a ways to go, but at some point we are going to have to say bye-bye to the conventional transistor.
And we have been studying stellar spectra for a century now. The must be much rarer than 1 in 10,000 or we would have already found one. They must be exceedingly rare.
This looks like the ideal technology for electronics that have to work in extremes of temperatures or high radiation environments. I'm surprised the military and aerospace industries aren't jumping all over this.
Shut up and take my money already!
Works just as well if you hand the phone to a toddler. They love to chat.
The system was down for backups from 5am to 10am last Saturday.
