  • Assuming this effect existed, wouldn’t the memory of the water be polluted with all kind of things (as water is recycled all the time)?

    Yes.

    If longer exposure makes the memory stronger, you should be getting a lethal dose of salt quite easily

    No, it would be the reverse. The water would magnetise to the salt, and draw it out of you, making you very dead.

  • Sure, but there's a good argument that that should be an end-user issue, and not something that the OS/Phone manufacturer should be trying to mitigate. It's a risk you take when owning a device, that you can also break it, or get it infected.

    Otherwise, why bother selling the phone in the first place, rather than contracting it out under a rental agreement?

  • Classic Google move as well.

  • The supposed science behind homeopathy was already known, though. It was never a mystery.

    It basically worked around the pseudoscientific principle that water remembered what used to be in it, so if you diluted out water concentrated with the thing you had, it would somehow "remember" what was in it, and when taken, would draw it from the body through some principle of magnetism.

    It's not like it magically somehow worked, and everyone was in amazement or anything quite like that. The only real reasons it did anything at all was that its contemporary treatments were things like bloodletting, which were worse for most things than not doing anything at all, or as a result of placebo.

  • Its like the problems around the ozone hole, or acid rain.

    A lot of people scrambled and worked very hard to find an alternative that didn't cause problems, and now it's almost like they never existed, and people think it was much ado over nothing.

  • I don't think it will. It hasn't so far, despite there having been linux phones in the past, and it's got the Windows Phone/Symbian problem where users don't go to it because it lacks support for the apps they use, and developers don't support it because it doesn't have much by way of users.

  • Makes some sense. If it can absorb nutrients, it can probably absorb gases too.

  • It's like the brain. There's a tiny barrier that keeps the immune system out of it, and it breaking down is thought to be the cause of a few major brain conditions.

  • They supply the rest of the eye. It's just the transparent bit on front that doesn't get much of anything.

  • If you have a chronic health condition, are particularly ill, or have a disability, good luck. You'll need it.

  • And for the robot (technically Cyborg) front, The Murderbot Diaries. The main character is a cyborg who has trouble relating to humans.

    But also has no desire to be human itself.

  • Or give an option to toggle. Surely letting people turn it off would save them even more resources, if they don't have to bother with upscaling the video in the first place.

  • The characters not being conventionally attractive and “gender non-conforming” weren’t problems.

    Just take Overwatch as an example. People aren't exactly ranting about how Winston (a Gorilla) isn't sexually attractive, and therefore represents the moral downfall of society and that. He's just there.

  • At the same time, a lot of places aren't going to let scientists test on something closer to humans without something clearly showing a reason for it. The ethics board would wonder why they didn't try it on mice first, and wouldn't approve anything else.

    That they found an effect in mice would be good justification to move up a step. If there was no effect, then that would be the end of that.

  • Going by the article, it was more that it made it worse when it happened, rather than starting it.

  • All manner of confusion would ensue I’d assume, also being a Brit and I have never heard ‘fag’ being recognised as a slur here

    Might be an Americanisation thing, where it's leaking over either from US media, or the internet.

  • It was basically a computer screen in binocular form. Sulu also had one at his station sometimes.
