It's a useful discovery. The real proof and utility is if what they learned from "mouse-heimer's" can be applied to human Alzheimer's.

A very good article, well explained, and I appreciate the photos of fine watches. As shown, date complications are very tough to calculate and there are many levels of features. However, the phases of the moon complication is not discussed

Consider the possibility that one diamond goes from the steering tube to the right rear axle mount and the second diamond goes from the steering tube to the left rear axle mount.

I agree, I would like an ePub to have a robust note taking and exporting ability. For instance, if I highlight in Chapter 8 "In 539" [next paragraph] "Belisarius" [next paragraph] "marched on Ravenna" [10 parag

The best identity I can think of is a hash-code of your DNA sequence. You cannot lose it like an external device, an email, or an implanted chip. Yes, there might be collisions in a DNA hash-code (such as identical twins), but there can be

Yes this is true, "the conversions did not generally work in their (employee) favor, although the old old timers were allowed to stay on the pension". Once caveat was that the IBM older pension plan was more valuable than a 401k p

It is a very provocative title. I guessed Raymond Chen as well. Of course he delivers an interesting deep dive behind the title.

I am reading "Immune: A Journey into the Mysterious System That Keeps You Alive" by Philipp Detmer ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08XTNHRR5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b... ). It is a great book for the layma

"Physical UIs also don't need to help the user navigate digital content. Hugely different to physical content." Consider the Beat Buddy pedal (automated drum accompaniment pedal) which can play lots of digital content via use

Imagine when the processor and materials become cheaper. You could have very large hex boards that support many game maps and pieces. With touch control, it would be fun have gestures to move and combat with the stacks of pieces.

Additionally, IBM made several good pivots in the 90s and later. IBM embraced the world wide web and supported many web products. IBM did well for a while with RISC processors, AI, and cloud computing. However, I think the expenses out-pace

Weren't the IBM Ambra, Aptiva, and Vista brands efforts by IBM to out clone the clones? As I remember, these IBM brands from the 1990s gave the impression of an IBM computer, but they were all made by third-party companies.

There are a few outliers in the HTTP/3 graphs that are slower than the HTTP/2 graphs. I might have missed it, but I don't think the outliers were explained.

It is interesting to me how many engineers hop from English ("3 inches to go on the rubber band") to the metric system ("400 meters per second"). Andy Weir touches on this in his book "Hail Mary".

A fascinating article. David Quammen's book "The Tangled Tree: A Radical History of Life" also has stories how DNA changes through more mechanisms than just mutation.

Also there are the possibilities for various questions and exclamations. Why did Jake ask "Can I have another biscuit?"? I was frightened when Jake shouted "Who are you?"! My trousers were soiled when Jake shouted "

This brings up a point related to the double-period/redundancy discussion above. In a slight adjustment of this example, what if the text were a question and the quotation were a statement. Would this be a good construct: Why did Jake

Some color pickers allow you to load a palette of names and they locate those names and values in the color picker interface. You can load common name sets (e.g. X11 color names, CSS names, Munsell names, Behr) and they map their values int

I was a big reader of the rec.bicycles forums in the 1990s. That contributor Jobst Brandt was amazing in his reasoning on bicycles and their technology. Reading this brings back great memories. I did not agree with him all the time, but he

So assuming all pawns of one color are converted, I guess 9 queens or 10 knights would be a legal, if unlikely, board setting, but 10 queens or 11 knights are not?

"They're all legal. That is, reachable from the starting position in a valid game of chess." Help me out on the legality of some of these boards. I see excess pieces on many boards (for example, 2 or more queens, 4 or more kn

My friend once registered the domain "myan" in the top level domain "us". All sorts of adolescent hilarity ensued. I see the domain is now available.

I like the map plotting in this article. You can see from the one second rays exactly how much time spent at a stop, and with a few calculations you probably can determine velocity.

TLDR: "the new functionality allows users to disable echo cancellation and post-processing, and get rid of compression, and increases the audio codec quality from 22kHz to 48kHz, 96Kbps mono/192Kbps stereo"
