What about the Moon? Did astronauts there experienced such symptoms or not?

Reply to comment by UnusualEntertainer15 in Return to Office - My experience & rationalization. by [deleted]
That's actually the case in Ireland now. As a lot of members of parliament are landlords and have shares in office buildings, there is strong lobby to get workers into the offices ASAP. Funniest thing - not all companies. Some companies found WFH as business solution to grow, they are keeping their own office buildings for people that actually want to come to work (Irish people are very social), but they are openly admit that WFH is the answer for company growth.
What makes me really unhappy is that we have a housing problem. We have people with 60k+ salaries living on the streets. One of the office buildings was converted to accommodate Ukrainian refugees. Why others cannot be converted like that, beats me...

Reply to comment by amoralhedgehog in Scientists have shown for the first time that briefly tuning into a person's individual brainwave cycle before they perform a learning task dramatically boosts the speed at which cognitive skills improve. by Wagamaga
Interesting, as our university (biomed department actually) was doing research of influence of alpha brain frequencies on learning process in late 90s early 2000s. They were taking the EEG of a person to check for different bands and then they were stimulating person with the pure frequency or different percentage mix and checking how long the learning process took. As humans have problems with hearing infrasounds the audio stimulus was delivered via differential or modulated audio signals, the visual stimuli were delivered via precisely controlled LED light source (they were checking the shape of the wave controlling the LED - if I remember correctly a sinewave was giving the best results).
The difference with this new research was that they were using audio stimuli and the learning test was conducted during the stimulation, while in this new research the test was conducted immediately after the stimulus (and it was visual only). Audio stimulation is tricky as the frequencies are so low, so you have to use a carrier in the hearing range modulated with the frequency under test. IIRC they were testing a single ear, both ears with same signal and both ears with differential signal. And actually the differential signal was working (identical signal was working as well - it just had to be properly modulated - I don't remember if there was any difference in results between those two).
I am not saying that hemi-sync and other brands deliver what they promise, just that principle of stimulating brain with person's own frequencies was tested years ago and differential aural signal stimulus (known commonly as binaural beats for some reason) if matched with person's own frequencies can be used as a stimulus in this case.

But that's known for decades. That's how binaural beats and the whole concept of hemi-sync works.

Nice Photoshop... /S
Seriously - that's an awesome picture. It just looks so... unreal. Like, I don't know, not from Earth.

Nope. They are just using training version of Kh-55 as a decoy. Training version has a concrete ballast instead of nuclear warhead. Also the markings are different - exactly to not launch a nuke instead of training missile.

As for 1 - it depends where you live. There is 2Gbit fiber available where I live (rural, outskirts of the 4k people town) and it delivers advertised speed.

We don't really can go much lower than that. Quantum tunnelling is a real issue at that size. However we still can go up with the layer count. However then we have the issues with cooling. So what is relatively easy with memory it's a big problem with computing.

That's what I wonder if anyone did any research while they were on the surface of the Moon or were they just too busy keeping astronauts alive :)
