A technological artifact of the 50/60hz split in Japan. The timer will run at a different rate so rather than sell separate models with the timer painted differently, they just have two marks for 50 or 60hz. Beautiful.

Can this networks wisdom help me out?

Yesterday I ended up with a small splinter of metal (from a screw) in the tip of my index finger. No worries, I figured it'll come out by itself.

This morning, turning on the tea kettle, I felt a faint buzzing sensation. Not painful, but not pleasant either.

After some experimenting it seems to be the metal splinter reaction to (very) nearby electric fields (transformers etc).

Is this some type of parasitic capacitance?

1) Just a reminder that as #AI and #chatbots are taking off, demand for #electricity and other #energy usage will also increase. We should keep this in mind as we discuss advances in #InformationTechnology.

2) As #SenatorWarren pointed out recently, big-money #ransomware #cybercrimes will only use #cryptocurrency for payments.

I don't foresee the politicians, who are in the hands of big-money donors, ending #crypto completely. But at the very least they should find a way to regulate it and bring it under control.
