That's an interesting site but doesn't seem to be picking papers the first one I picked up on was the Monty Hall game show problem which isn't a paper as far as I know.

Where as both Steve Jobs and Alan Kay believed in the Dynabook, I find it interesting how starkly different their views are on the stylus. One of the first things Alan Kay had after seeing the iPad was try using a stylus [0], where as Steve

Windows did try the same as Android and iOS with Windows RT, thankfully that was a disaster. Netbooks are ridiculously useful, I used to have a 15 minute bus ride to work with an Asus EEE and would manage to fill that 15 minutes with active

I bought Heisenberg's quantum theory paper back from a second hand shop. It's 90 years old and in amazing condition with just sun damage to the spine. The pages are sewn together.

Yeah, you're quite right. Should have read closer, I had read all the way through as they finished again talking about child seats. In my (rather weak) defence, they have conflicting evidence over child seats, so it still seems incorre

Fair enough. The world has managed to not blow itself up for 60 years, we can speculate on whether that will hold long enough to build a self-sustaining base on Mars.

90% of the article is about forward/backward facing child seats. But also the article spells out the the paper it was based on falsely claimed there was a significant difference between them and was retracted, restudied and agreed to n

Plus unfortunately Musk is fairly well known for underpaying his staff. So you have to choose to take a paycut to switch from Google / Facebook. To be fair all of Apple/Amazon/Microsoft do at least sell actual products. Perha

This goes from bad to worse for Tesla. It's all related to the original PR statement, but I'm guessing that Tesla have made further actions to anger the NTSB. I don't understand why the change. They've already co-operate

It's great that so many of his thoughts live on. Where as there are lots of books that live on after people these books go through lots of editing and you're never sure how much of the direct thought of the author is still there.
