So who is verifying the safety of these ultrasonic output. Maybe I am being paranoid, but the US diplomats in Cuba were recently attacked in their residences with ultrasonic devices that were undetectable, except for the symptoms (severe hearing loss, migraine headaches, nausea).

It's probably several orders of magnitude different in energy output, but I would still like to think some accountable government organization signed off on this usage - not just the company feeling that its okay. After all, if you are playing detectable music too loud then you can hear it and your ears start hurting. In this case there would be no warning signs until damage was done. The FDA did years of testing on prenatal ultrasound devices before they became routine in their usage. So who do these companies go to for verifying the safety of this technology before deployment. Or is just the honor system?

This kind of reminds me of the deployment of back scatter x-ray machines for security at U.S. airports that had not been studied for dosing amounts on humans (and ended up giving extremely high exposures). There are news stories from 2010 speaking about the controversies regarding the health effects of the machines, but there are also news stories in 2007 about the machines being deployed and I believe there were limited deployments between 2003 and 2005 (if memory serves me correctly). NOTE: I used google news to search up the old articles.

We should just pick one state in the U.S.A. where everyone who is not fully vaccinated has to live (with only medical exceptions made). I say New Jersey. And if an epidemic hits, you close the bridges and all roads leaving.

From summary:

I think these are called picometers (10^-12 m)

How do you think the Episodes 7-9 and the spin-offs would be different if Disney had at least used George Lucas' story treatments?

Now the story of a wealthy cadre of scoundrels who lost everything — and the one adopted son who had no choice but to keep them all together. It's Han Solo's Arrested Development.

Keep in mind that usually writers are committing to a show for a whole season at a time. The writers are expected to show up to an office and write and have writer's meetings and table readings and rewrites. The writing is very collaborative especially if the show has a season arc and continuity.

So if the writer used to get $10,000 per episode + 0.01% residuals for helping write a 22 episode season which they spent 7 months working on 9-5 plus occasional overtime. And now they get $10,000 per episode + 0.01% residuals for helping write a 13 episode season which they spent 7 months working on 9-5 plus occasional overtime. Obviously they are getting paid less for the same amount of work. And most people think that the quality of most scripted TV shows has gone up in the past 20 years.

So what the writers are asking for is more money per episode. They would also like more flexibility in the work schedules. I have heard that they often have non-compete clauses in their contracts, so they cannot write for another show while they are are currently working on a season. http://www.npr.org/2017/04/19/524751648/netflix-and-cord-cutting-era-complicates-writers-guild-contract-talks

I mean, how many Fast N Furious movies are we at? 8 ?
How many Star Wars Movies?
How many Superman/batman/thor/wolverine/xmen .

None of those movies were made because writers couldn't come up with new ideas. They were made because that was what studios had put their faith (and financial resources in). Some of this low-risk, almost-guaranteed return of franchises is due to the business strategies of the movie studios, but a lot of that just reflects what audiences watch / buy discs / buy toys for.

There are tons of unproduced scripts that are written not based on studio decisions, but because writers feel that something is a good idea and would make a great movie. Some of these eventually get noticed and made into indie, art-house, or mainstream films (see https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FBlack_List_(survey).

It is just bizarre that studios would put so much money into the making and marketing of these movies without ensuring that they follow basic fundamentals of narratives / characterization in cinema. Zack Snyder is definitely obsessed with visuals over storytelling.

Somewhere in the writing process they forgot to make the protagonist likable. This analysis (one of the best that I've watched) points out how we don't connect with the heroes because they don't have believable motivations and they do not make any choices that show them to be interesting heroes.

Another analysis by the same reviewer pointed out how those movies are lacking in compelling villains.

This is a poorly worded (and deceptive) headline. Each Holmium atom is only encoded with a 1 or a 0 depending on the spin or magnetic orientation of the atom (up or down). Therefore only one bit encoded on each atom, hence datum. The headline makes it seem like they are encoding more than that on each atom, which if you learn a bit about electron orbitals is unlikely (at least as a long-term storage) especially at room temperature.

The MIT Tech Review article stated that they will limit the commands per second to something in line with what a human (professional) player can do.

I am not 100% sure of what Deepmind's game awareness will be, but they do have a simplified graphics output for the AI (mostly just friend-foe, not the fancy artist made pixels).

Please give us a simple but scientific definition of each.

I teach high school science, and I currently use the darts analogy but next year I want to find definitions that are either more accurate or more precise...

Harrison Ford was self-taught professional carpenter. This was probably his best paying, consistent job as he was trying to make it in Hollywood as an actor. So you would think he would know about the potential dangers of machinery, but maybe he mostly used hand tools. Maybe he's gotten soft and careless.

As a side note, it seems that with its emphasis on practical effects, real sets, and locations, that The Force Awakens was a dangerous film to work on. Mark Hamill almost fell to his death off of the island Skellig Michael shown at the end of the film.

While it is not in the Super Mario Bros. NES manual, anyone who owned an NES in the 1980's knew that pressing A+start on the start screen let you continue from the same world you last reached. (ex. died in level 8-2; continue in level 8-1). These secrets were sold in Nintendo Power and strategy guides, but most kids would share them with each other in class or when they went to there friend's home. Even without GameFAQs back then, everybody knew about A+start, the Konami code, and Justin Bailey just from word-of-mouth sharing.

I speak Tagalog.
The Ewoks do not speak Tagalog, but the cadence and some of the phonemes are similar.
Ang mga Ewok di nagsasalita sa Tagalog.

I have not verified the DVD special feature source but this seems a likelier explanation. http://message.snopes.com/prin...
