TSMC's fabrication leadership has never been greater, regardless of the marketing speak they are at the forefront. All the more amazing given for a "renegade province" that has thrived despite continual attempts to economical

Can I pay you money for this awesome product so I don't feel bad about opting out of your telemetry? What's fair? I think a lot of us would do this voluntarily. Your privacy disclosure is great--I just don't want to be the pr

This is what I am banking on. I want to get another year out of my old Intel Macs before getting an MX-based Macbook that should melt my eyeballs with its speed while lasting a day and a half on battery.

There are a lot of unexplored consequences of potentially editing out a gene as important as PCSK9. Some of the compounds it is making are essential to brain and liver development. They'll have to study that for years.

I am sure it is stunning and beyond anything most people have ever experienced, but will it be worth $$ to have a beautifully lit version of visiting someone in prison? It is still not human contact, I don't think we can fool the brain

That's basically it. Naked Greed and convincing yourself that monetizing a thing you think you invented but which invariably turns out to be people's attention is always good in and of itself. I've been in or inside lots of w

"Some phases" (a few molecules?) appeared to have to be stable at 300K for a week. Whatever. I've been writing and reading about cold fusion hype since the 1980s, still waiting for my maglev vacuum cleaner.

NOT a sponsor of Mozilla. Google buys web traffic (as default search engine) for ~$300M and turns it into several times that $ in ad revenue.

Not true. Congress passed the Federal Reserve Act and assigns to the Board the implementation of it and regulations that are written down in the Code of Federal Regulations. And the Chair is confirmed in the Senate of course.

Yep, despite good browser hygiene my most unique browser identifier is my display size and color depth (2560x1600x24) Guess my original Apple Cinema HD display will clearly identify me as a dumb cheapskate who pays for expensive things and

It's interesting that if you step back and look at what Amazon has been most willing to just blow up and destroy, it is the idea of intellectual property of any kind. It comes out clearly in their business practices. This muscle memory

Recent trends? Apple has been periodically screwing developers since always. Ultimately Apple just sees developers as a necessary evil to sell their products, but making life easy for them is not a priority.
