That rumor seems to have originated with a right-wing American broadcaster, but more importantly, ivermectin isn't approved for use as a Covid treatment in Japan: https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/world/2021&#x2F

Yes you are correct. The reason it was designed the way it was, was to eliminate the need for a framebuffer. RAM was very expensive in 1977, but a 6502 running at about 1.2MHz was just fast enough to keep up with the requirements of drawi

It's possible, but they were also influenced by the British attack on Taranto [1] the previous year in 1940. That battle kind of proved out one of the concepts that the Japanese used later at Pearl Harbor: namely using ship-launched to

OP, I have felt many of the same things as you. It sounds like you have very high expectations for yourself - perhaps you imagined yourself being somewhat well known in your field or well regarded in life in some way by now. The reality is

True but they just introduced their very successful piston-engined P-26 fighter [1] a mere 89 years ago. Barely even had time to design a follow up! /s https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_P-26_Peashooter

I'm not sure a distinction really matters at this point. Supply chain issues are complex and not within the direct control of policymakers. The money supply, on the other hand, is. "Inflation is always and everywhere a monetary

The cost was not too high: if your family already had a computer, you just had to buy a modem, although they were somewhat expensive for a kid at the time. After you had the hardware, you still needed a few more things though: first, you ha

Sure let's count them. Suicide killed 44,834 Americans in 2020. Covid killed half a million Americans from March 2020 to March 2021. Are you sure you're really as concerned about public health as you claim to be?

It ends when half a million+ people per year (in the US anyway) aren't dying of a preventable disease - not to mention probably millions more suffering long term effects. I see a familiar pattern with sentiments like this: showing lots

The National Museum of the US Air Force in Dayton, OH also has a B53 casing at the entrance of their Cold War exhibit. I think the sign for it just says rather bluntly "B53 Thermonuclear Bomb", which I always found kind of funny i

I hope I am mistaken here, but... are you saying that it would need to kill 1/6th of the population every year (instead of 1/600) before you will consider putting a piece of cloth over your face? What's so terrible about wear

Some of the terminology used in the arcade world is a bit confusing, so just to clarify: 'JAMMA' is the original arcade standard developed in the 1980s. It specified a standardized edge connector pinout to interface an arcade PCB

About 4 years ago I picked up an old tube radio I found at an antique mall that caught my eye. The radio was a 1947 AM/FM set. Before finding it, I had no idea that FM radio was even around in 1947, but it was. It was a relatively n

No the concept is not entirely new, especially since historically, wasting CPU cycles was often cheaper than adding framebuffer RAM. The c. 1977 Atari 2600 worked in a very similar way, wasting 80+% of the CPU time just to draw the screen.

Because if banks have underwritten fixed-rate mortgages to people at 3% APR and inflation goes above 3%, then banks begin to lose money. Nobody wants banks to become insolvent.
