For those not reading the story, which appears to be many, the company that services the implant went bankrupt. The implant was experimental. There exists no one to service it any longer. It will pose a health risk down the road without someone servicing it.
The story doesn’t directly say that’s why it had to be removed (and she talks about wanting to buy it). I found another source that explains that the device came with a three-year battery life.
It’s 25km/h. There is also a 45km/h category with stricter regulation.
The most hilarious example is that 80s video about snowboards… ah, here it is:
Windows has a simplified version of that built in.
Compare the amount of protein that is in a flu shot (60 micrograms in Fluzone at most) to a typical mAb (~150 mg up to 1 g at most), you can see how much less the vaccine requires
And with mRNA you get extra amplification from each mRNA being translated multiple times. Then again an mRNA is a lot more massive than its protein product.
That is generally true, with exceptions like leaking someone else’s private information.
But it implicates the adjacent “right to be forgotten” rather than narrowly defined “privacy”. This could be a real legal issue in the EU.
> > Why is the amount of DNA in plants so much lower than in animal tissue? Is this because plant cells are larger? (some plants like wheat have very large genomes, I wonder how that affects it too)
They are quoting the DNA concentration in g per kg of dry matter.
Plant cells have cell walls of cellulose, hemicellulose and pectin, which adds some dry weight that is absent in animals.
In addition, these seeds and tubers etc. we eat tend to be energy storage organs with a whole bunch of starch vs. not very much regular cell mass. It would be the same way if you ground up bone tissue and measured the DNA concentration.
Are cells lining the intestine replaced frequently? and which population of stem cells do they come from?
Yes, very frequently. There are stem cells in the crypts between villi of the duodenum, for example.
what practical nonenterprise uses are these speeds going to have?
None. These are very much enterprise-oriented updates. These extreme speeds are so difficult to achieve that it outweighs the simplification of scaling down the number of lanes. It’s better to use a PCIe 5.0 x16 connection than PCIe 7.0 x4 in consumer hardware.
Mastodon is substantially more active than Lemmy thus far. It’s a different type of medium to Lemmy, so what you want to use is up to you.
Personally I use both, but just like I was spending much more time on reddit than twitter, I’d like to spend more time on Lemmy than Mastodon. I have also found Lemmy a little more intuitive to use initially, so it might be worth spending a couple weeks getting used to how the fediverse works before jumping into Mastodon.
Elon Musk made me jump to Mastodon. Spez made me jump to Lemmy.
So it has three battery packs each the size of an iphone, yet the battery capacity is only twice that of an iphone? Seems pretty meh, and they lock you in with proprietary connectors.
