He appears to be a fantasist: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Lazar If his mundane claims are shown to be false, why would you give any credibility to his extraordinary claims?

Corona virus general questions mega thread

Good article here: https://www.bbc.com/news/health-51963486 -
What things are thermally conductive but not electrially?
Strange replied to DARK0717's topic in Engineering
But if you stay within the breakdown voltage, a paste cannot guarantee isolation while a solid barrier can. -
But I failed to read the code: I hadn't noticed that the call has "interval=1". So my highlighting that warning was incorrect.

You need to read the documentation for this function: https://psutil.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#psutil.Process.cpu_percent

Another way of looking at Special Relativity

Have you ever come across the concept of a "link" ? Very useful. I suggest you look into it. -
Corona virus general questions mega thread

I'm picturing this like a Western: you standing on a deserted street with the spray clipped to your belt. Arms by your side, fingers twitching slightly. Suddenly a figure emerges from a bar and prepares to spit on the floor. Before he can move you have drawn and fired sprayed. Nice animation showing the how big the effect of reducing contact is: This also applies to increasing herd immunity (because that also breaks the chain of transmission). So as herd immunity increases, the limitations on social contact can be reduced. -

SR applies equally to uncharged particles. Charge has nothing to do with SR. Trying to derive SR from the interaction of magnetic fields with charged particles has a couple of problems: It is unnecessarily complicated. The relationship between electric and magnetic fields can be deduced from SR, so you end up with a circular argument. -
Is that what the 40 stands for; 40 different uses? (Don't tell me what it really stands for, I already know!)

! Moderator Note In short, you do not have a method to calculate the masses as you claimed. Apart from choosing numbers for the variables in your equation to come up with the right answer. This thread is closed. Do not bring this subject up again.

Corona virus general questions mega thread

You would also need to account for the greater delay for those who have tested positive with no symptoms. It could be up to two weeks before they develop symptoms and two or more weeks before they become critically ill, die or recover. You would need to track the numbers over several weeks to be able to calculate a more accurate figure. Much harder to account for is the number of people who have the contracted the disease but have not been identified (by testing or displaying symptoms). This will tend to bring the fatality rate down. Modelling can estimate how many more people there might be by looking at rates of transmission in the population. You can probably rely on the fatality rate estimates from WHO and other researchers because they will have attempted to take all these factors into account. -
You would need to get the process to do some significant work to get a non-zero value for this. You had a previous thread about sorting, didn't you. So maybe get the program to sort a large list of numbers before getting the cpu utilisation. The 'shared' value is the amount of memory that could be shared with other processes. Not the number of page faults. https://psutil.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#psutil.Process.memory_info It doesn't look as if you can get page faults in Linux. The 'dirty' value might be the closest thing you can get. Note that several of the Linux fields refer to 'top'. You can find a description of those fields in the 'top' man page.

Disk usage appears to be an attribute of psutil, not pustil.Process: https://psutil.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#psutil.disk_usage

! Moderator Note That is not a mathematical description. I have not seen any mathematics here (or skimming your paper) that would justify the claims you make. Show, in appropriate mathematical detail, the calculation of the mass of a particle in your next post or this thread will be closed.

Good points. It is always a good idea to think about what the error message says and how it relates to the code you have written. Sometimes error messages are really unhelpful, but usually they give you a good clue to where the problem is. Python error messages can be confusing because they show a traceback through the calls that called the program. Usually, the last line of code referenced ("line 16, in system_info" in this example) is where the problem is (occasionally, it might be that the problem is further back because of how the function was called or the parameters it was passed). And the very last line indicates the nature of the problem.

Thanks. I didn't think they would test cardboard (I assumed it was with respect to work surfaces and similar things) -

Looking at the large package the delivery guy just dropped off and wonder "what about cardboard?" -

Three words: inverse square law Any effect on the user is almost indistinguishable from the background levels of disease (hence the lack of good evidence for any harm). That is for a phone a few centimetres from the user. For a family member a few metres away, the effect is going to be at least 10,000 times smaller; effectively non-existent.
