Le #terme " #consensus #scientifique" est une #arnaque #politique | #IdrissAberkane

top

" #TINA", There Is No Alternative, le #slogan de #MargaretThatcher dans les annĂ©es 80 a Ă©voluĂ© d'une façon infiniment plus sournoise, il est devenu le #dictatorial "The #Science Is Clear" de #BarackObama, et si vous n'ĂȘtes pas d'accord, vous ĂȘtes tout simplement #anti-science (de nos jours, la pire #hĂ©rĂ©sie possible)

Pourtant au delĂ  des Ă©lĂ©ments de #langage la structure mĂȘme des #rĂ©volutions #scientifiques appartient au #dissensus, et si des fous dĂ©cident consensuellement que le nombre pi vaut lĂ©galement 3,2 (comme dans la lĂ©gendaire Indiana Pi Bill de 1897) cela n'en fait pas un #thĂ©orĂšme; inversement la valeur de pi n'est pas le fruit d'un #consensus mais d'un #thĂ©orĂšme, lequel d'ailleurs fut profondĂ©ment dissensuel en son temps pour tous ceux qui rĂȘvaient obtenir la quadrature du cercle...

Le consensus n'est pas un mauvais procĂ©dĂ©, mais il est entiĂšrement et irrĂ©mĂ©diablement POLITIQUE, dĂšs lors, quand quelqu'un vous parle de "consensus scientifique" vous devez traduire qu'il ne s'agit que de donner Ă  la #politique une apparente justification #scientifique, dans le but d'empĂȘcher tout dĂ©bat. Or bien souvent, qui d'autre voudrait empĂȘcher tout #dĂ©bat politique si ce n'est celui qui voudrait abuser massivement de son #pouvoir et se livrer aux pires #exactions...?

FeverPhone App: Researchers Created a Simple App That Turns Your Smartphone Screen Into an Accurate Thermometer, but it takes 90 seconds

Bild/Foto
Thermistors, which are also used in medical-grade thermometers, can’t directly measure a user’s body temperature while inside a smartphone, but they can be used to track the amount of heat energy that has been transferred between a user and the mobile device they’re making contact with.

During a clinical trial at the University of Washington’s School of Medicine’s Emergency Department, the app was tested by 37 participants, which included 16 with a mild fever, and the results were compared against readings from an oral thermometer. FeverPhone was able to predict a user’s core body temperature with “an average error of about 0.41 degrees Fahrenheit (0.23 degrees Celsius),“ which is on par with the accuracy of home use thermometers, including non-contact options.

It does sound quite good, especially seeing no extra hardware is required. The app is not yet available though for download, and it also sounds like other devices may also be explored e.g. holding a Fitbit to your forehead.

Another day, another record for the North #Atlantic. Everything is happening so fast, it's hard to get a sense of the enormity of these anomalies, let alone their consequences.

How the Apple Watch Body Temperature Feature Works and Where to Find It

Under side of an Apple Watch showing the sensors
Whether it is Apple, Samsung, or another brand, these wrist devices all only detect changes in skin temperature from an established personal baseline. This can assist in menstrual cycle detection but also general health as an additional indicator of any illnesses. They do not measure actual body temperature.

But many often have these capable devices without knowing how to use the feature (or others such as fall detection, HRV, and much more). It is really worth checking what your device can do, and taking a few minutes to just set the features up if required (often an access permission must first be granted).

Currently, only the Apple Watch Series 8 and the Apple Watch Ultra (2022) can take wrist temperature readings. No models of the Apple Watch SE can take wrist temperature readings at present.

When you're standing in the frozen food aisle, it's nearly impossible to know whether that Salisbury steak has thawed and refrozen -- a process with potentially harmful consequences. So, researchers have now designed a food-grade device from edible materials, including table salt, red cabbage and beeswax, that lets you know. The proof-of-concept sensor provides a color readout when it's warmed above a specific temperature, which is tunable from -58 F to 32 F.

How a #Billionaire’s “Attack #Philanthropy” Secretly Funded #Climate +Denialism and Right-Wing Causes

source: https://www.propublica.org/article/barre-seid-heartland-institute-hillsdale-college-gmu

Last month, The Lever and ProPublica as well as The New York Times detailed how Seid secretly handed a $1.6 billion fortune to a key architect of the Supreme Court’s conservative supermajority that recently eliminated federal protections for #abortion rights.

Steven Baer, a longtime friend and former adviser to Seid, said the businessman has long been “the major patron” for the Heartland Institute, a small Chicago-area think tank which for decades has attacked #mainstream climate #science. A top executive at Seid’s former company, Tripp Lite, served as the chairman of the group. Among the recent claims on the institute’s website: “US #Temperature Readings Are Junk, Negating Climate Science” and “96% of U.S. Climate Data Is Corrupted.”

How a Billionaire’s “Attack Philanthropy” Secretly Funded Climate Denialism and Right-Wing Causes

Emails and interviews reveal privacy-obsessed electronics magnate Barre Seid’s long history of backing efforts to attack climate science, fight Medicaid expansion, and remake the higher education system in a conservative mold.
