First one involves two groups of police sorrounding a group of protesters and tear gassing them. I don't how that can be considered a valid dispersal method (They could not disperse there were police on both sides) Also allegly firing Pepper balls above the waist which is incorrect usage. (There are marks on the walls well above head height)

If you made it practically impossable to disburse when using what are basically torture devices in that situation I don't see how it isn't brutality.

Uhhh. jwz.org checks the referer header for hacker news and redircts to a picture of some male gentailia in a egg cup, with some text of what jwz thinks of this site.

I'd advise linking to a archive.org version of the url.

Low-volume networking hardware comes to mind. Where you need very-high performace routing, but aren't shipping enough units to make up the cost of using an ASIC.

The aren't many of the them so power usage isn't a bit cost, but their performance effects the performance of many other machines, where most of the power draw is.

You'd have to get follow up to see if Vitamin D has gone up after taking it.

I was Wrong on the internet (lots of food has vitamin D including Eggs and Mushrooms): Vitamin D supplements may not be absorbed as digestion isn't the normal process for obtaining it.

Yea I install the Asus GPU-Z and i was better and gave that it was using 90% of the whole GPU. Windows just doesn't know how to count GPU usage apperntly.

Folding@Home is runnign GPU stuff on Windows without any configuration on my AMD RX 580. Although it's not using much of it. Presuably because OpenCL only runs of the Compute units which are relatively small part of the GPU.

I had a couple hours earlier today of CPU. Currenlty running on 1 Compute node (out of 3) (OpenCL) on my GPU. Which Windows reports as 3% of the GPU. But it's 99% of the actual Compute module.

There's a special thing called "Epigenetics". The genes coded in DNA don't change. But how they're used can change.

There's methyl groups that attach to the DNA. These stop parts of the DNA being read.

There's Histones which wind up your DNA and control how much can be read.

These are used control which parts of DNA are used by which cells. Evey cell has the same Genome, but each cell needs a different program to function, so changing the Gene Expression you get a different kind of cell.

You can set the language version and go back to pre linq, pre async days.

For example, last time mine renewed I found out that AWS didn't record the expiry date. I only have to update the CVV.

I think there was at least a Google+ poll.

They also don't have to finish everything in the building. Moved into a building where the construction company did this, many things were unfinished. Apparently didn't completely pay the workers, so they just took stuff when they left.
