I mean you say that, but I went to a similar school in the US and the professor had his own book. It was cheaper than the old textbook and to top it off he "warned us" not to go to a certain site and download the PDF version. Some professors care and it's more about the administration than their own opinions.

Actually it's worse than that, if you have enough unvaccinated people in an area you'll increase the viral load received by the local population. Vaccines raise immunity significantly, but don't make you fully immune. If you experience enough of a viral load despite being vaccinated you can still get sick. This is how outbreaks occur and why we're seeing them in low vaccination communities. These viruses then spreads to others that shouldn't normally get the virus. So in short it harms everyone including those vaccinated.

Because it's a massive franchise. When you go into a Starbucks they want it to taste the same no matter where you get one. People are creatures of habit and it's easier to get someone to get the same thing than it is to try out local shops wherever they go because it might be bad or too different from what they normally prefer. It's one of the reasons fast food chains are / were very popular in the US. It's not about the quality, it's about the consistency

Well from what I could find it suggests around 10+ years of usage. Not only is it long lasting, but it's incredibly thin meaning far more transistors can be stored in one location. To top it off with that level of movement it could substation ally cut down on power usage. While it probably will mean the big companies will simply scale up in terms of capacity and their power usage will remain the same. It also mean in years to come when it hits the consumer level we could have phones and computers that overheat less and have a better battery life.

The article seems to omit some data from the original post on MIT's site. They did 100 billion switches with no / negligible signs of degradation. In the it paper they mention an endurance potential on par of that of state of the art FeFET devices. I couldn't find a link to the paper freely available, but it seems to be a noteworthy achievement as the sliders only move a few atoms width per switch.

Not really if you look into the literature. There were several studies done at Stanford and several hundred thousand people that took it for fat loss and less than 100 deaths from what I've seen. Also, a majority of those deaths were from suicide, which is both a sad thing and a terrible way to go. The deadly dose was about 5-6x the normal dose. There was a case of a girl ODing on it to get ready for spring break and I believe she was around 10x the standard dose. Note dosage is based off body weight.

Now there are other issues that can occur because of the MoA it causes you to burn through zinc and magnesium. There are thyroid issues that can occur, as well as the possibility of cataractics. Then there's the proton slip and electron leakage within the mitochondria. This is what causes a majority of the problems as it's a positive feedback loop for negative cascades. That can be almost entirely negated by keeping dose lower and doing your cardio. It can be done safely if you know what you're doing but most people aren't that reasonable.

Someone wrote an interesting book on it and took more of a conspiracy standpoint on it claiming it could be effective fat loss but because it was cheap and easy it would cut into big pharma making money. Can't say I agree with everything in the book but there was some useful information.

There's also a newer compound called BAM-15. In research it's more effective at fat loss and can be taken at much higher doses safely. I believe they got up to 20x the dnp standard dose without negative side effects in the lab rats.
