Reply to comment by tornpentacle in Australian and UK researchers have developed a proof-of-concept display technology that is 100-times thinner than liquid crystal cells and offers a tenfold greater resolution. by unswsydney
I’m guessing it works similarly to how a chameleon changes color or how peacock feathers shine blue
A chameleon’s skin doesn’t show colors through pigments. It rather changes structure to scatter light at different wavelengths, trapping some light, while letting some of it through, showing colors.
I’m just guessing that’s how this tech works though. I always wondered why we didn’t go in that direction to create color anyways. Might not be what’s going on here

The disruption of these biological processes is connected to an increased risk of a very broad range of diseases, including developmental disorders, cardiovascular disease, metabolic disease and many types of cancer. by Wagamaga

Reply to Companies with climate change initiatives may be the biggest greenhouse gas emitters. Researchers say this supports the theory of companies 'greenwashing' with symbolic gestures rather than making material change that can help fight climate change.

Can we just just rebrand the practice as “faux moral license” when we sunset the terms “carbon offset” and “plastic credits”?

That's the standard in New Zealand too, is it not possible in the US?

Cash only here in Colorado too. They always have an ATM in the building but you have to hand over cash.
I've been to one where you can pay with a card by handing them the card, but it will still be run as an ATM transaction. They have you enter your PIN on a PIN pad, round it up to the nearest $20, and give you change in cash even though you paid with a card. And there's still ATM fees. It was a weird round-about way of letting customers pay with a card while getting around the banking ban.
Far more often it's just an ordinary ATM sitting there.

Green “behaviors” will only come on the individual level. It’s not in their hands it’s in ours. If the culture cannot change nor will the carrots and sticks.

> calling something “CMOS compatible” is like calling it “IBM PC compatible.” Not the flex it’s meant to appear a to be.
CMOS compatibility is quite the flex when considering optical technologies.

What's the overall thermal profile of such a device at screen sizes given that it's based on flash heating elements?

Even back when I had energy, it's amazing how many people were scared off just by the chronic illness label. Which is why I made a point to be upfront about it, ensuring that we both saved ourselves some time.

Or people who have satisfying relationships are generally more well adjusted and well off mentally and physically, ultimately leading to a more healthy lifestyle with less stress.

Reply to comment by PaurAmma in Obesity can cause changes in the brain similar to Alzheimer's by Darth_Kahuna
Which, again, is a direct consequence of large capitalism being in bed with the federal government and creating a society in which millions of civilians have to work 3 dead end jobs just to make ends meet and the only food options presented to them are unhealthy, ultra processed, over subsidized meals.

It's also a question of time. If you are working three jobs to break even, you may not have the time to cook your own food.

ELI5'ing the abstract, some mice were put in a noisy environment for 4 days. This caused their blood vessels to become more inflamed and allowed more cells that cause inflammation into their hearts. When the mice had a heart attack, the inflammation was worse if they had been exposed to the noise before. People who live in noisy areas and then have a heart attack also have worse outcomes. This study suggests that reducing noise pollution could help people who have heart attacks.
