It may be reasonable and this is nothing but an attempt to stop the bleeding. There is no reason to trust them or their leadership again. The fact the CEO wasn't booted immediately shows they still want that style of leadership. The

While your sentiment is valid, this is the type of argument people make on low code solutions. Which has never worked in reality and never will. There's just too much nuance and detail that needs to be considered when you have to do

I want to give some kudos to the author at being classy and not mentioning Unity's missteps and focusing on the good stuff they did internally. I've been impressed by how relatively coherent Godot has been and fostering the commu

No, this isn't directly related to fusion. The binding energies are already well known and nucleon modification effects in fusion are far to small to be meaningful.

This article has a huge number of problems. To say "not a single one" of theory prediction was right overlooks the Higgs. To call all the theorists work "predictions" and calling them "wrong" is employing phr

These types of signals are a very common path that people who look for new forces follow. The phase space to search for deviations in the standard model is very big, so when things like this pop up they offer better avenues of exploration

No, this doesn't mean that at all. There are lots of other (accountable) structures in energy/angle correlation spectra like this, but it doesn't change the quantum mechanical aspects of it and the randomness in time distri
