Why not go to a lower temp?


Ice destroys the cell walls and thawing turns you to mush.


> TH is a medical treatment in which an injured patient’s body temperature is lowered to 32-34°C (89-93°F) in order to slow the body’s metabolism and minimize ischemic injury.

It looks like they aren't even trying to get close to freezing.


Indeed, although all the anecdotes in section 3.5 refer to instances where the temperature outside of the body would have been below freezing.


That doesn't make him an engineer.


There seem to be two different senses of what an "engineer" is. In one sense, it is "someone who has trained as an engineer", and in the other it is "someone who does engineering". Elon Musk fits the first, because he has trained as an engineer, but does not fit the second, because he is currently employed as CEO. I fit the second, because I am currently employed as an engineer, but do not fit the first, because I was trained as a physicist.

If you are arguing semantics, please take care to understand that not everybody has the same definitions of words as you do. Without the context of how you interpret words, your posts will fail to convey reasonable information.


He's the second too.

"But actually almost all my time, like 80% of it, is spent on engineering and design. Engineering and design, so it's developing next-generation product. That's 80% of it."

"At Tesla, it's working on the Model3 and, yeah, so I'm in the design studio, take up a half a day a week, dealing with aesthetics and look-and-feel things. And then most of the rest of the week is just going through engineering of the car itself as well as engineering of the factory."

In a lot of places, "engineer" is only for those who have the recognition of their professional body.

But those (while they might be good professionals) are not doing what Elon is doing.

So if that's the case I might say that saying Elon is not an engineer is a compliment.


I don't think it's because it's a dynamic language like you seem to imply. How else would you implement both stack and heap in non-'dynamic' languages without constraining them to a fixed size?


That site's design is an anti-pattern. :|


> Did anybody try to use APL (or a derivate) in web development?

I'd love to see how it handles web dev. It doesn't look like it'd be good at those types of things.



Maybe x/month plus y/call over a certain amount, for the people who use a disproportionately large amount of resources?


It seems like it'd be far easier to track usage and prevent/resolve disputes with a monthly charge, too.


And to handle traffic spikes. I however pad my user's daily quotas (by a percentage of their plan) to be able to handle temporary spikes up to a certain point.


I used to work with a guy who was really proud of that...


Can you cite that? Doctors recommend it for blood thinning/interfering with clotting, a half dose/baby aspirin/80mg.


I'm not a medical professional, so I'm unsure about the details.

Aspirin is, to my knowledge, the only NSAID that works as an anticoagulant due to some mechanism other than affecting prostaglandins and is therefore recommended by doctors.

Other NSAIDs, however, consistently increase the risk of MI, for instance: http://www.bmj.com/content/357/bmj.j1909


Isn't Reye's only as issue because it might be caused in younger people?


Yes. Use of aspirin has been linked to Reyes in children and teenagers, but even that is rare. Before Tylenol and Advil people commonly gave their kids aspirin for fevers and in the vast majority of cases there were no problems.
